- 3:14Speaker 4: God Family.
- 3:16Speaker 2: All right, well let's jump right into it. Let's talk
- 3:18Speaker 2: about that Montgomery brawl. So there's some arrest warrant issue.
- 3:21Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Another update on this story, folks that obviously
- 3:25Speaker 4: have been following this everywhere, but Montgomery Police Chief Darryl
- 3:29Speaker 4: Albert had a press conference yesterday to provide further details
- 3:33Speaker 4: on the Riverfront fight that has been wildly shared on
- 3:35Speaker 4: social media the past few days. Let's take a listen
- 3:38Speaker 4: and we'll talk about it on the other side.
- 3:40Speaker 5: The suspects thus far have been identified as Richard Roberts
- 3:45Speaker 5: white Mail, forty eight years old with two outstanding warrants
- 3:50Speaker 5: for assault third degree. Alan Todd White mail, twenty three
- 3:55Speaker 5: years old, one warrant for assault third degree, and Zachary Shipman,
- 4:01Speaker 5: white male, twenty five years old, one warrant for assault
- 4:05Speaker 5: third degree. We have instructed those individuals to turn themselves
- 4:09Speaker 5: into law enforcement and as at this time, one is
- 4:13Speaker 5: secured and in custody. The other two are set to
- 4:16Speaker 5: turn themselves in within the next hour. We're also asking
- 4:20Speaker 5: for mister Regie Gree, the black mail forty two years old,
- 4:23Speaker 5: who was seen wielding that folding chair, to contact the
- 4:27Speaker 5: Montgomery Police Department for further interviews and as part of disinvestigation.
- 4:36Speaker 1: I am a dying life. I'm not coming back to
- 4:39Speaker 1: have a conversation. You got no choice. They know your name.
- 4:42Speaker 1: You gotta come up and I'll pull up with the
- 4:43Speaker 1: voting chair. He didn't say it was a wrest war.
- 4:45Speaker 1: They said they'll have a concept pull up with the
- 4:47Speaker 1: folding chair, and that's what I would sit in when
- 4:48Speaker 1: we have in an interview, I would say, my attorney
- 4:50Speaker 1: unless there's a rest war and I'm not talking already spoke.
- 4:52Speaker 1: All you got to do, regick in deplete temporary and
- 4:54Speaker 1: sanity man he was or.
- 4:56Speaker 4: Guess what he completed. He could just say, hey, I
- 4:58Speaker 4: fear for my life. He can do the police officers do,
- 5:00Speaker 4: and we'll see if that. We'll see if that works.
- 5:05Speaker 1: Maybe he could try it hitting the white woman. That
- 5:07Speaker 1: ain't gonna work if you hit that white woman randomly.
- 5:09Speaker 4: But yeah, but unfortunately when they when they killed Pam Turner,
- 5:11Speaker 4: when they killed Brionna Taylor, they were able to say fearful.
- 5:13Speaker 1: I know, I'm being facetious. We know it won't work,
- 5:15Speaker 1: but I did want to point out.
- 5:16Speaker 4: That they're always able, you know, police officers able to
- 5:19Speaker 4: shoot us down, you know, and say hey, I fear
- 5:21Speaker 4: for my life when they murdered Pam Turner. So I
- 5:24Speaker 4: doubt it would work with him, but I'm being facetious.
- 5:26Speaker 4: Obviously it won't work.
- 5:27Speaker 2: But why wouldn't the white women have warrants healed for
- 5:30Speaker 2: their rest because they were swinging on their brother too.
- 5:33Speaker 1: No, that's a great question. That's a great question.
- 5:35Speaker 4: Maybe maybe we should put that out there and ask,
- 5:38Speaker 4: and again we'll see, we'll follow this. Asking to come
- 5:41Speaker 4: in for an interview doesn't necessarily mean you know that
- 5:44Speaker 4: he would be charged, but we know how America works,
- 5:47Speaker 4: you know, could the possibility is certainly there. I continue
- 5:49Speaker 4: to keep following the story, but it's just really interesting, guys.
- 5:52Speaker 4: What do you think about how this conversation has just really,
- 5:55Speaker 4: you know, become a staple in our community. I saw
- 5:58Speaker 4: yesterday somebody got a tattoo of the chair on their arm,
- 6:02Speaker 4: So I remember, you think that's ridiculous.
- 6:05Speaker 1: That's ridiculous, I mean, because the reality is what I
- 6:08Speaker 1: like about this whole situation is just and I think
- 6:10Speaker 1: we all like it's just the unity, the solidarity and
- 6:13Speaker 1: the group operation, people having each other's backs. That's it.
- 6:17Speaker 5: You know.
- 6:17Speaker 1: That's what I would like for people to take away
- 6:19Speaker 1: from this situation, not tattoos of chairs, you know what
- 6:22Speaker 1: I mean. That's what I want people to carry with
- 6:23Speaker 1: them from now on. You know, if you see, you
- 6:26Speaker 1: see your fellow brother, your fellow sister in need of assistance,
- 6:29Speaker 1: help them stop pulling out you. They don't get me wrong,
- 6:31Speaker 1: there was a bunch of people pulling out their damned
- 6:34Speaker 1: we needed all those angles. But a lot of times
- 6:36Speaker 1: that's all we see people pulling out their phones and
- 6:39Speaker 1: recording as far as instead of people you know, taking action.
- 6:42Speaker 1: So that's what I take from the situation.
- 6:45Speaker 6: Mm hmmm, Well.
- 6:45Speaker 4: They call Fred Hampton the chairman. You remember he was
- 6:48Speaker 4: the chairman as well, so I guess now the chairman
- 6:50Speaker 4: is a new level to what the chairman means.
- 6:53Speaker 2: So all right, well that is your front page news.
- 6:57Speaker 2: Now get it off your chest. Eight hundred five five

- 11:46Speaker 17: and Megan the Stallion situation, and I'd like to say
- 11:51Speaker 17: I do not agree with Tory Lane dancing years. I
- 11:55Speaker 17: don't follow the masses everybody a brand and talking crazy
- 11:59Speaker 17: about this man. I'm pretty sure there's something deeper than that.
- 12:03Speaker 11: But I know I would have respected.
- 12:05Speaker 17: Meghan some times more if you really would have been
- 12:08Speaker 17: to tie your time.
- 12:10Speaker 1: I don't think you know, you know what I keep
- 12:12Speaker 1: wondering about this situation. I don't think any of y'all
- 12:14Speaker 1: read the case because the reality of this situation is,
- 12:17Speaker 1: if you actually read the case and you read all
- 12:20Speaker 1: the evidence against Tory LANEZ, including the phone call that
- 12:25Speaker 1: he made from the jail, you knew that he was
- 12:27Speaker 1: gonna get found guilty and not to mention, you know,
- 12:29Speaker 1: he did stand up yesterday in court and take responsibility
- 12:33Speaker 1: for his actions and say that he wished he could
- 12:34Speaker 1: change the events of that night. You do realize that, right, Listen.
- 12:38Speaker 11: I didn't say he's not guilty exsive.
- 12:43Speaker 1: I think that came off good. For shooting at somebody.
- 12:46Speaker 3: Yeah, she's just someone that at close range. What do
- 12:48Speaker 3: you think is not accessive? What do you think is appropriate?
- 12:53Speaker 3: That's a question.
- 12:53Speaker 1: Yeah, ten years for shooting at somebody, especially a woman
- 12:57Speaker 1: as a man, I think he came off kind of good. Yeah,
- 13:00Speaker 1: he's only got to do eighty five percent. I say
- 13:01Speaker 1: eighty five. That's not a lot, but you gotta do
- 13:03Speaker 1: eighty five percent. That's what eight and a half years.
- 13:05Speaker 1: Eighty got, ten months served, Well, you probably do like
- 13:07Speaker 1: seven years.
- 13:08Speaker 2: Get it off your chest, eight hundred and five A
- 13:11Speaker 2: five one oh five one. If you need to vit,

- 13:18Speaker 3: Yes, we definitely are gonna be talking about Tory Lanez
- 13:20Speaker 3: and the sentencing, as well as like a crazy fan
- 13:23Speaker 3: who showed up to the to the courthouse blaming Megan
- 13:26Speaker 3: because she had a miswork to be there.
- 13:28Speaker 2: Wow, all right, Well we'll get into all that when
- 13:29Speaker 2: we come back, so don't move. It's to Breakfast Club.

- 13:56Speaker 1: this circle moment from me on the Breakfast Club.
- 14:03Speaker 3: Let me pop it off.
- 14:05Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 14:06Speaker 3: So obviously the biggest topic this morning is Tory Lanez
- 14:08Speaker 3: being sentenced to ten years in prison. So yesterday Judge
- 14:12Speaker 3: David Hereford sent his Tory Lanes to ten years for
- 14:15Speaker 3: shooting Megan Thee Stallion. He is convicted in December of
- 14:18Speaker 3: three felonies assault with a semi automatic firearm, having a
- 14:21Speaker 3: loaded and registered firearm in a vehicle, and discharging a
- 14:24Speaker 3: firearm with gross negligence.
- 14:26Speaker 18: Here's a statement, Raperatory Lanes gets ten years in prison
- 14:29Speaker 18: for shooting and injuring Megan thee Stallion. Lanes was convicted
- 14:33Speaker 18: of three felonies in the case back in December. The
- 14:36Speaker 18: judge said it was quote difficult to reconcile the kind
- 14:39Speaker 18: person and good father. Many described Lanes as being with
- 14:42Speaker 18: the man who fired the gun at Megan. Megan testified
- 14:47Speaker 18: that Lanes fired the gun at her feet and shouted
- 14:49Speaker 18: for her to dance as she walked away from an suv.
- 14:53Speaker 18: This was back in July of twenty twenty. DA George
- 14:56Speaker 18: Gascoon and read a statement from Megan thee stallion.
- 15:00Speaker 9: Fortunately, the District Attorney's office fall for me. I'm incredibly
- 15:03Speaker 9: grateful to them and the jury for the attention to
- 15:07Speaker 9: the evidence inciting with the truth. But it can happen
- 15:10Speaker 9: if it can happen to me, imagining those who lack
- 15:13Speaker 9: the resources and support systems to help him.
- 15:17Speaker 3: So I remember it's been three years since this shooting happened.
- 15:20Speaker 3: I've been twenty twenty, and prior to sentencing, Tory was
- 15:22Speaker 3: seeking probation or minimal prison sentence, while prosecutors were asking
- 15:26Speaker 3: for thirteen years. I think the maximum was like twenty two.
- 15:29Speaker 3: So he got ten. And inside the courtroom, Tory said,
- 15:32Speaker 3: if I could turn back the series of events that
- 15:34Speaker 3: night and change them, I would. The victim was my
- 15:37Speaker 3: friend speaking about Megan. The victim is someone I still
- 15:39Speaker 3: care for to this day, and everything I did wrong
- 15:42Speaker 3: that night I take full responsibility for.
- 15:44Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's only interesting for everybody who keeps
- 15:46Speaker 1: saying they don't believe Tori did this, like as you
- 15:50Speaker 1: just read Ashley. According to NBC News, he said and caught. Yesterday,
- 15:53Speaker 1: he apologized for his actions and said he took full
- 15:55Speaker 1: responsibility for the shooting.
- 15:57Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 15:57Speaker 1: One of his exact quotes was, if I could change it,
- 15:59Speaker 1: like you just said the change it, I would, but
- 16:00Speaker 1: I can't. Everything I did that night I take full responsibility.
- 16:03Speaker 1: I'm just truly trying to be a better person, which
- 16:05Speaker 1: I don't understand, because why would you wait until the
- 16:07Speaker 1: day you are sentenced to come clean? Like everything his
- 16:09Speaker 1: lawyers was trying to do, like saying that he had
- 16:11Speaker 1: childhood trauma and an alcohol problem. That only works if
- 16:14Speaker 1: you admit you did it. So if that was gonna
- 16:16Speaker 1: be your defense, he should have came clean a whole
- 16:18Speaker 1: lot earlier.
- 16:18Speaker 3: You don't wait to the day it centicent like given
- 16:20Speaker 3: yesterday they said, like, if I did do it, it's
- 16:23Speaker 3: because I suffer from trauma and alcoholism. It's like he
- 16:26Speaker 3: was trying to look for every plausible deniability loophole.
- 16:30Speaker 1: There was, as I say, after the Internet. You know
- 16:32Speaker 1: what I'm saying, If you get your information from the Internet,
- 16:34Speaker 1: from the narrative created online, then you're gonna be misinformed
- 16:37Speaker 1: all the time, especially when it comes to legal cases.
- 16:39Speaker 1: Because when I read the details of this case a
- 16:41Speaker 1: couple of years ago to actual court documents, and I
- 16:44Speaker 1: saw all the evidence that was against Tory, including the
- 16:46Speaker 1: recorded phone call from jail with him apologizing while Megan
- 16:50Speaker 1: was in the hospital, I knew he'd be found guilty.
- 16:52Speaker 1: And I couldn't understand why Toy was doing what he
- 16:54Speaker 1: was doing on social media. I didn't understand why he
- 16:56Speaker 1: put put an album out talking about the incident, like
- 16:58Speaker 1: there was absolutely zero reason for Tory Lanez to be
- 17:01Speaker 1: trying this case in the court of public opinion where
- 17:03Speaker 1: he was.
- 17:04Speaker 2: Well, that's the problem. Most people don't don't read that,
- 17:06Speaker 2: Like they're not gonna go through the AFIDEBT, but they're
- 17:07Speaker 2: gonna see what the headlines are and go with the headlines.
- 17:09Speaker 2: And even like yesterday, people were talking, they were comparing cases.
- 17:12Speaker 2: They were comparing this to the Pop Smoke case with
- 17:14Speaker 2: the guy who one of the dudes got four years
- 17:17Speaker 2: and it was like, well, how does he get four
- 17:18Speaker 2: years for murder? And this happened for this, So people
- 17:21Speaker 2: just compare things for no reason. They're totally two different cases,
- 17:24Speaker 2: but two different states. Two different Yeah, two different states,
- 17:26Speaker 2: and so I guess it's both for California. Ye, it's
- 17:30Speaker 2: both for California. So I guess he'll have to serve
- 17:32Speaker 2: the ten years and then he'll get deported back to Canada.
- 17:34Speaker 3: So here are served here and then get deported.
- 17:36Speaker 2: Yeah, he has to serve it head and then he
- 17:37Speaker 2: gets deported.
- 17:38Speaker 3: Well, yes, yes, but that sound like does that matter?
- 17:46Speaker 3: Like good behavior? It doesn't matter.
- 17:48Speaker 2: I don't know. I think I think it all is.
- 17:50Speaker 2: It's always good behavior. You get eighty five percent of
- 17:52Speaker 2: time of good behavior.
- 17:53Speaker 3: Okay. Well, also in this case of Ella County DA
- 17:56Speaker 3: George Gascone, he said that women, especially black women, are
- 17:59Speaker 3: afraid to report crime like assault because they are too
- 18:01Speaker 3: often not believed, and he commenced Megan the sallion for
- 18:04Speaker 3: her incredible bravery and vulnerability as she underwent months of probing,
- 18:08Speaker 3: investigation and court appearances where she had to relive her
- 18:11Speaker 3: trauma and the public scrutiny that followed.
- 18:13Speaker 1: Yeah, now I just would never understand why Tori was
- 18:17Speaker 1: doing what he was doing on social media, Like I
- 18:18Speaker 1: would never understand why he tried to try this case
- 18:22Speaker 1: in the court of public opinion. None of that ever mattered.
- 18:25Speaker 1: Doesn't matter what anybody online thinks about this situation. It's
- 18:29Speaker 1: about what happens in that actual court room.
- 18:31Speaker 3: Well, what was he doing when this happened? Quarantine radio,
- 18:34Speaker 3: So that was his thing, was going to Instagram and like,
- 18:37Speaker 3: m let me get these people to co sign me,
- 18:39Speaker 3: let me get let me get some support.
- 18:41Speaker 2: Maybe I can show like, but I think as a
- 18:43Speaker 2: community we always have that problem. Like, if there's a situation,
- 18:46Speaker 2: if anything is going on, the best thing to do
- 18:48Speaker 2: is if you have a good attorney, is he'll tell
- 18:50Speaker 2: you to shut the f up and handle it in court.
- 18:52Speaker 2: And then when courts over, then you could run around
- 18:54Speaker 2: and say what you want to say or whatever it
- 18:56Speaker 2: may be, because whatever you say, as we've seen in
- 18:58Speaker 2: this case, can be used against you in the court
- 19:01Speaker 2: of law.
- 19:02Speaker 1: So they said, they said he was antagonizing Megan online.
- 19:04Speaker 1: Like a lot of the reason that he got this
- 19:06Speaker 1: tiff sentence is because of the stuff.
- 19:08Speaker 2: Yes, that he was doing online, correct, because he was
- 19:10Speaker 2: one of them.
- 19:11Speaker 3: I don't get it all y'all asked why I call
- 19:13Speaker 3: myself Ashley was too easy because the Ashley with the
- 19:15Speaker 3: wires a little crazy because there was an actually that
- 19:18Speaker 3: showed up to the courtroom who was like a crazy
- 19:20Speaker 3: super fan of Tory Lanez. That's what she's saying.
- 19:23Speaker 1: I'm a woman and I DK same thing.
- 19:29Speaker 19: Was sad.
- 19:33Speaker 1: And Lane still about.
- 19:36Speaker 2: Him a war for him period.
- 19:39Speaker 1: When I see her a lot of with.
- 19:41Speaker 10: Megan thee Stallion, that's like, yes, that win are being nice.
- 19:46Speaker 10: Megan should thank me because if you haven't for me,
- 19:49Speaker 10: Megan thee Stallions, y'all, he hasn't fout Oh anxiety, Oh,
- 19:56Speaker 10: I really can't.
- 19:57Speaker 12: For the salience.
- 20:00Speaker 1: The way what type of music will really be coming out?
- 20:04Speaker 1: Y'all that you don't got no anxiety? I won't bring anxiety.
- 20:08Speaker 19: Who are?
- 20:10Speaker 3: I just want to clarify that when the name was
- 20:12Speaker 3: Ashley Ramirez with a why.
- 20:14Speaker 1: Yeah, I can promise you none of that helped Tory
- 20:16Speaker 1: in court. You know what I'm saying. If the person
- 20:18Speaker 1: you are defending is on trial for something violent, you
- 20:21Speaker 1: probably don't need to show support by acting violent.
- 20:24Speaker 3: Yeah, But then if you look at some of the
- 20:27Speaker 3: viral tweets in support of Tory, some are saying Tory
- 20:30Speaker 3: lanez didn't deserve ten years. That's insane. They'll crucify a
- 20:32Speaker 3: black men any chance they get, so it said Tory
- 20:35Speaker 3: lane is getting sentenced to ten years in prison for
- 20:37Speaker 3: a shotty that was Torken shortly after the incident is
- 20:39Speaker 3: disheartening to say the least. I don't know what to
- 20:44Speaker 3: make of that. How someone gets shot and.
- 20:47Speaker 2: Well, people have the right for their opinions. People people
- 20:49Speaker 2: feel what they want to feel, and like Charlotage said earlier,
- 20:51Speaker 2: a lot of people don't know what actually happened in
- 20:53Speaker 2: the case, so they're just basing this off of Internet
- 20:57Speaker 2: and not off of the facts, and sometimes the facts
- 21:00Speaker 2: show a different light.
- 21:01Speaker 1: One day we're gonna have to have a conversation about
- 21:02Speaker 1: do people have to right to their opinion? I think
- 21:04Speaker 1: people have the right twin informed opinion. Correct, you know
- 21:07Speaker 1: what I'm saying. If your opinion is just based on
- 21:09Speaker 1: you know, a false narrative of your opinion is based
- 21:12Speaker 1: on lies, I don't think you have the right to that.
- 21:15Speaker 1: I think you have the right to informed.
- 21:16Speaker 2: Right and informed.
- 21:18Speaker 1: I mean an opinion rooted in facts correct.
- 21:20Speaker 3: I know you're not on Twitter no more, but like
- 21:22Speaker 3: there's a little fact check box that shows up when
- 21:24Speaker 3: you tweet. I feel yeah, I feel like everybody needs
- 21:27Speaker 3: to like finish.
- 21:30Speaker 5: No.
- 21:33Speaker 3: Sometimes it'll like do you want to read the article
- 21:35Speaker 3: for your tweet? It's like, nah, just tweeted.
- 21:37Speaker 1: Also it'll fact check it and then give you the
- 21:39Speaker 1: actual information.
- 21:41Speaker 3: But someone has to go in and fact check it,
- 21:43Speaker 3: like put something now at America Festival has been canceled.
- 21:47Speaker 3: Yesterday was announced that the Philly festival that takes place
- 21:51Speaker 3: every September has been canceled this year. Lizzo and says
- 21:54Speaker 3: that we're set to headline the festival, and fans speculated
- 21:57Speaker 3: that it was because of the heat that Lizzo is
- 21:59Speaker 3: currently facing right now. Really official statement cites the cancelation
- 22:02Speaker 3: being a result of production issues outside of the control,
- 22:05Speaker 3: and it does say due to severe circumstances outside of
- 22:08Speaker 3: production control, they can no longer have this festival. But
- 22:11Speaker 3: I don't think even if it is little, they can
- 22:13Speaker 3: easily replace.
- 22:15Speaker 1: Isn't it? Two headliner is always Yeah, they had.
- 22:21Speaker 3: They had a whole they had a lot of they
- 22:22Speaker 3: had they had a whole bunch of like a team
- 22:26Speaker 3: like Army.
- 22:26Speaker 2: I wonder if it was low ticket sales, because a
- 22:29Speaker 2: lot of these concents have had a lot of low
- 22:31Speaker 2: ticket sales.
- 22:31Speaker 3: You're trying to throw a festival the year Drake and
- 22:34Speaker 3: Beyonce or touring, that's true, Like it ain't happen.
- 22:38Speaker 1: They couldn't find a bigger artist in Little. There's got
- 22:41Speaker 1: to be somebody bigger than Little that they could put.
- 22:43Speaker 2: Right, Well, Beyonce is on tour, Drake's on tour.
- 22:48Speaker 1: I didn't even need a double headline. It's probably little
- 22:51Speaker 1: ticket stale. That's probably what it is.
- 22:52Speaker 3: Probably ticket We also had Miguel TAM's Ice, Spice, Metro, Command, Coiler,
- 22:56Speaker 3: Ray Lotto, Lola Brook, Coco Jones, Doci Oh, come on,
- 23:00Speaker 3: and anymore.
- 23:00Speaker 1: You gotta yeah, they would have been fine. It's little
- 23:02Speaker 1: ticket seals.
- 23:04Speaker 3: I mean again, this is a year that Beyonce, Drake, Taylor,
- 23:09Speaker 3: Swifts all went out to three of the biggest artists. Right,
- 23:11Speaker 3: people ain't got money for that?
- 23:13Speaker 2: All right, well that is your rumor report. Now when
- 23:15Speaker 2: we come back, we got front page news telling figure
- 23:17Speaker 2: Oi be joining us and l L cool J and
- 23:20Speaker 2: the Route will be joining us. So don't move it's
- 23:22Speaker 2: the Breakfast Club on b e T everybody. It's j
- 23:26Speaker 2: ND Charlamagne the guy. We are the breakfast Club. We
- 23:29Speaker 2: got our special guest, hosts Ashley with to ease a
- 23:31Speaker 2: morning and let's get back in the front page news.
- 23:35Speaker 1: Let's talk about this.
- 23:36Speaker 2: Court throws out conviction after the judge says black man
- 23:38Speaker 2: looks like a criminal to me.
- 23:40Speaker 4: Yeah, this is crazy, and appeals Court thursday overturned the
- 23:43Speaker 4: drug conviction of a black man, Leron Liggan, saying his
- 23:47Speaker 4: rights were violated by a Detroit federal judge who was
- 23:49Speaker 4: upset over delays in the clay the case and declared,
- 23:52Speaker 4: this guy looks like a criminal to me.
- 23:54Speaker 18: Now.
- 23:54Speaker 4: The US district judge, Stephen Murphy, who was white, apologized
- 23:58Speaker 4: nearly two years later, when the case against larn finally
- 24:01Speaker 4: was ready for trial. He explained that at the time
- 24:04Speaker 4: he was mad and he regrets it. The appeal court
- 24:06Speaker 4: said that Murphy should have removed himself as the judge
- 24:10Speaker 4: at the time, but he did not, So the court
- 24:12Speaker 4: threw out the Dutch the drug distribution conviction and the
- 24:15Speaker 4: ten yured prison sentence and ordered a new trial with
- 24:18Speaker 4: a different judge. So let me ask you guys, should
- 24:20Speaker 4: they should he get another trial? Should they just charge
- 24:21Speaker 4: it to the game?
- 24:22Speaker 1: But what does a criminal look like? That's what I
- 24:23Speaker 1: would like to do. What did the judge criminal look like?
- 24:28Speaker 1: What is the profile of this young man? And he
- 24:30Speaker 1: thinks this man looks like a criminal.
- 24:32Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, so what happened was during the case, he
- 24:37Speaker 4: I guess lost his composure. He got upset because the
- 24:41Speaker 4: ligands actually exercised his rights. Uh, he switched between wanting
- 24:46Speaker 4: a plea deal and choosing a trial. And so the
- 24:48Speaker 4: judge didn't like that, and he said, you know, I'm
- 24:50Speaker 4: tired of this case. I'm tired of this defendant. I'm
- 24:53Speaker 4: tired of getting the run around. This guy looks like
- 24:55Speaker 4: a criminal. To me, this is what criminals do. Innocent
- 24:58Speaker 4: people don't do this if they want a faire trial.
- 25:00Speaker 4: He's playing games with the court. And so because he
- 25:03Speaker 4: made that statement in front of the jury, they're saying, hey,
- 25:05Speaker 4: you basically influencing the jury.
- 25:08Speaker 2: Right, and it wasn't right to do.
- 25:09Speaker 5: So what was it?
- 25:10Speaker 4: It was?
- 25:11Speaker 1: What type of condictions?
- 25:12Speaker 4: Drug?
- 25:12Speaker 1: It was a drug case?
- 25:13Speaker 2: Yeah, let him go.
- 25:14Speaker 1: Yeah, just charge it to the game.
- 25:15Speaker 2: Charge it to the game.
- 25:16Speaker 1: I mean it sounds like it sounds like a mistral.
- 25:19Speaker 1: Usually just put another judge on that case and retry it.
- 25:21Speaker 4: They're putting another judge on the case, and that's what
- 25:23Speaker 4: I'm answering. You should they put another judge on the
- 25:25Speaker 4: case or just charge it to the game?
- 25:26Speaker 1: Catch you next time? I mean, you gotta. I would
- 25:28Speaker 1: I would want them to follow the letter of the loss.
- 25:30Speaker 1: I would want them to put another judge on the
- 25:31Speaker 1: kick and they just retry the situation. That's usually what
- 25:34Speaker 1: happens in those situations. Just don't get this bitsed. I
- 25:36Speaker 1: wish it was that easy, but it's not.
- 25:38Speaker 2: Yeah, but at this point, man, you got the man
- 25:40Speaker 2: saying looks like a criminal means all over the news
- 25:42Speaker 2: people see in this case, like you.
- 25:43Speaker 1: Bring a new judge. You bringing a new judge with
- 25:45Speaker 1: some new eyes. And maybe that person don't look like
- 25:47Speaker 1: a criminal in that judge his eyes. Shoot, maybe that
- 25:49Speaker 1: person is just listening to the actual evidence.
- 25:51Speaker 2: I don't know. I'll be nervous if I was saying, now,
- 25:55Speaker 2: let's talk about these thousands of city workers that picket
- 25:58Speaker 2: it yesterday in La. Yeah.
- 26:00Speaker 4: Once again, like doctor West mentioned earlier this week on
- 26:03Speaker 4: you know, all of these strikes happening everywhere, and once
- 26:05Speaker 4: again yet another strike. Yesterday did a one day strike
- 26:08Speaker 4: in La the Los Angeles City workers walked out. Now
- 26:11Speaker 4: this marks the first strike action by the Los Angeles
- 26:14Speaker 4: City workers in more than forty years. ABC seven has
- 26:17Speaker 4: the report.
- 26:17Speaker 2: Take a listen.
- 26:19Speaker 20: A twenty four hour strike by eleven thousand Los Angeles
- 26:22Speaker 20: City workers across multiple departments hasn't left the city crippled,
- 26:26Speaker 20: but certainly sent a message to those who work at
- 26:28Speaker 20: city Hall that they feel disrespected.
- 26:31Speaker 1: We haven't guns put on when we're just trying to
- 26:36Speaker 1: do our job. We ain't for our type of protection.
- 26:40Speaker 7: We can't get that.
- 26:40Speaker 1: Well, we complain to our manager and stuff. We weren't
- 26:43Speaker 1: getting no.
- 26:44Speaker 4: We don't get no l Everyone walked out yesterday. It
- 26:47Speaker 4: was very interesting when I looked at the report. All
- 26:50Speaker 4: of the sanitation workers you're gonna refuse to pick up trash.
- 26:53Speaker 4: So you saw a huge, uh, you know, parking lot
- 26:56Speaker 4: full of you know, sanitation workers. So I think people
- 26:59Speaker 4: have a new expect for that when your garbage isn't
- 27:01Speaker 4: picked up. And so they're allegedly, you know, supposed to
- 27:04Speaker 4: be going back to work, but they said they still
- 27:06Speaker 4: you know they want fair negotiations like everybody else. You know,
- 27:09Speaker 4: they have repeated labor law violations, and so they're asking
- 27:13Speaker 4: that the city negotiates in good faith.
- 27:15Speaker 1: So why do we act like those sanitation workers aren't
- 27:18Speaker 1: public servants that are necessary for all community. You know
- 27:21Speaker 1: what I'm saying. We have no idea how you know,
- 27:24Speaker 1: stretch free. They make our lives. Until you see all
- 27:27Speaker 1: that trash piled up on the side of the road,
- 27:29Speaker 1: and now you're like, damn, anybody gonna pick the traps up? Yeah,
- 27:32Speaker 1: the same people that you neglecting, the same people that
- 27:33Speaker 1: you acting like, you know you shouldn't, you know, treat
- 27:36Speaker 1: well right, Yeah, yeah, y'all respect the sanitation workers.
- 27:39Speaker 21: Man.
- 27:39Speaker 1: It's all of those people like that that make all
- 27:41Speaker 1: world go around and that make all lives easier that
- 27:44Speaker 1: we just for whatever reason, tend to neglect all the time.
- 27:46Speaker 2: Well, they see even in New York, New Jersey, a
- 27:48Speaker 2: lot of the sanitation workers in the winter do the
- 27:51Speaker 2: snowplow as well. They get the snow out the way too. So, yes,
- 27:54Speaker 2: they are definitely needed, and they definitely need to be respected.
- 27:57Speaker 2: We need to make sure they act.
- 27:58Speaker 1: Would your data sanitation worker.
- 28:00Speaker 4: Test absolutely shout out to my uncle Daniel rest in peace.
- 28:04Speaker 4: Was a sanitation worker for the great City of Houston, Texas,
- 28:08Speaker 4: Ashley with TUIs for over thirty years. And not only
- 28:13Speaker 4: was he did he retire as a sanitation work he
- 28:15Speaker 4: had great healthcare insurance. And he also used to collect copper,
- 28:19Speaker 4: you know, on a lot of his runs. And Uncle Dan,
- 28:22Speaker 4: you will probably get about an extra thirty or fifty
- 28:24Speaker 4: thousand a year just on copper. So absolutely I would
- 28:26Speaker 4: because that means I would date somebody like my uncle.
- 28:28Speaker 1: There you go see public servant thro all the sanitation
- 28:31Speaker 1: workers out there.

- 29:14Speaker 1: some legends, some icons. Of course. We got the Roots
- 29:16Speaker 1: Black Thought and Quest Love Welcome. Everybody is black from
- 29:21Speaker 1: the Roots. They've been up here before.
- 29:23Speaker 2: And we got another icon that's never been up here before,
- 29:27Speaker 2: the legendary icon L L.
- 29:29Speaker 1: Cool J Welcome, Queen's Timer. It's first time LL stand
- 29:35Speaker 1: for a living legend. At this point, I appreciate that
- 29:37Speaker 1: absolutely absolutely.
- 29:39Speaker 2: So let's first start with you know, why you guys
- 29:41Speaker 2: are here together, because people are like, well, why is
- 29:43Speaker 2: LL and the Roots together? So you guys are going
- 29:45Speaker 2: on the road on the tour.
- 29:46Speaker 1: Yeah, So how did this saw it come about? Who's
- 29:48Speaker 1: whose version? I mean really, who's insure?
- 29:53Speaker 22: You know, the Planet Center stars sort of aligned themselves
- 29:56Speaker 22: and and and you made it possible for us to
- 29:58Speaker 22: work together on this huge segment that we did for
- 30:02Speaker 22: the Grammys this year. And I think you know from
- 30:05Speaker 22: that the idea of us always haven't wanted to, you know,
- 30:08Speaker 22: work together in some way, just you know, it opened
- 30:12Speaker 22: the collaborative path and it was like, Yo, why don't
- 30:14Speaker 22: we try to.
- 30:15Speaker 1: Take this show on the road. It was huge.
- 30:16Speaker 22: What we did just in that one fifteen minute segment
- 30:19Speaker 22: was so huge for the culture. And you know, this
- 30:22Speaker 22: being hip hop's fiftieth anniversary and you know that that
- 30:26Speaker 22: whole deal, it made sense to try and you know,
- 30:28Speaker 22: do something celebratory in that way.
- 30:30Speaker 1: You know, from region to region, Now.
- 30:32Speaker 2: Ladies love Cool James what got you into hip hop
- 30:36Speaker 2: and said, you know what I want to be MC?
- 30:37Speaker 2: Where where did the love come from? As a kid
- 30:39Speaker 2: from Queens and say this is what I want to do.
- 30:42Speaker 19: You know, when those first wave of tapes came around,
- 30:44Speaker 19: like you know Cole Crush Brothers and Fantastic, Romantic Five
- 30:48Speaker 19: and Foursome Seeds and Treacherous Three, you know, Grand Master,
- 30:52Speaker 19: Furious five and all of those groups, when they were
- 30:55Speaker 19: just tapes run around, you know, hallm World tapes, and
- 30:58Speaker 19: then the songs came. That was the first time that
- 31:01Speaker 19: I heard young black kids sounding powered. It was the
- 31:04Speaker 19: first time that I heard or could envision us doing
- 31:07Speaker 19: something great because before that, all the images I had
- 31:10Speaker 19: seen were us like handcuffed, you're putting a police car
- 31:13Speaker 19: or some sort of charge or you know, so that
- 31:16Speaker 19: empowering feeling, you know, the braggadocio thing that you know
- 31:20Speaker 19: that we really focused on came not from a place
- 31:24Speaker 19: of looking down on high on people, but more about
- 31:27Speaker 19: I could be somebody. You know what I'm saying. The
- 31:29Speaker 19: world looks at me and like I'm invisible. My friends
- 31:32Speaker 19: up the block get killed and nobody says anything. So
- 31:34Speaker 19: when I'm bragging and I'm boasting, what I'm really doing
- 31:37Speaker 19: is saying, hey, look at me, I exist, you know
- 31:39Speaker 19: what I'm saying. So for me, that was a real
- 31:42Speaker 19: special thing and a spectacular thing. I mean, I'm eight,
- 31:45Speaker 19: I'm nine years old. I'm ten years old, and I'm
- 31:47Speaker 19: being introduced to this thing and I just completely fell
- 31:49Speaker 19: in love with it. And then, you know, eight nine,
- 31:51Speaker 19: I'm a fan of the Wrap. My grandfather broughts me
- 31:53Speaker 19: some equipment. At eleven, I'm djaying, I'm messing around with that,
- 31:56Speaker 19: but I'm still rhyming and I'm going back and forth.
- 31:58Speaker 19: And then you know, eventually one thing led to another
- 32:02Speaker 19: and here we are death Jam and the whole whole nine.
- 32:05Speaker 1: Do you consider yourself a founding father of hip hop?
- 32:07Speaker 1: You know, people always gonna say, you know, cool her,
- 32:10Speaker 1: you know, Grandma after Flash, people like that.
- 32:12Speaker 19: But as far as hip hop as we know now,
- 32:14Speaker 19: I would say, you and Run DMC. Yeah, So so
- 32:16Speaker 19: I'm you know, I'm definitely Generation one point five. You
- 32:20Speaker 19: know what I'm saying. You got to give Flash and
- 32:22Speaker 19: HERK and Force and all and grab what was the
- 32:25Speaker 19: theodore they're do. The thing that myself from Run DMC did.
- 32:29Speaker 19: What we did is we took it to the world.
- 32:31Speaker 19: We took it global, you know what I'm saying. We
- 32:32Speaker 19: took it from the city and took it around the world,
- 32:35Speaker 19: you know what I'm saying. And that was the difference.
- 32:37Speaker 19: So they they brought it, they took it from from
- 32:40Speaker 19: the Bronx and Harlem out to the Five Boroughs and
- 32:44Speaker 19: you know, around the world. Somewhat, they didn't penetrate the
- 32:47Speaker 19: market quite as deeply. Then we took it and made
- 32:50Speaker 19: it global.
- 32:50Speaker 22: And it's I think I think from from a Philadelphia
- 32:53Speaker 22: standpoint too, you know, just from the outside looking then
- 32:57Speaker 22: with that that one point five generation with with you
- 33:00Speaker 22: and all, just like Running d that was our first
- 33:03Speaker 22: time sort of.
- 33:04Speaker 1: Seeing our own reflection exactly.
- 33:07Speaker 22: It was like, you know, I'm like again, I was
- 33:09Speaker 22: a huge fan of all the other founding fathers, but
- 33:11Speaker 22: they didn't look like people from around my way, you
- 33:13Speaker 22: know what I'm saying. And when I saw a run
- 33:15Speaker 22: jam Master Jay l they looked like the corner boys,
- 33:18Speaker 22: Like that was outside and I saw myself in that.
- 33:20Speaker 1: So you know, that's where a lot of the inspiration
- 33:22Speaker 1: for me to do.
- 33:23Speaker 2: What I do came from. Not to mention you know, ella.
- 33:27Speaker 23: You know, l is very modest, but Lle literally invented
- 33:32Speaker 23: what I call postmodern hip hop, like the three minute
- 33:34Speaker 23: raps song sixteen bar like before LL even Run DMC's
- 33:39Speaker 23: first album, Like it's like that's like eight minutes, like
- 33:42Speaker 23: seven verses, you know what I mean. Like LL literally
- 33:45Speaker 23: invented the sixteen you know, maybe the twenty fourth the course,
- 33:50Speaker 23: you know what I mean, Like oh, the song that's
- 33:52Speaker 23: courses on it. So I love rap, yeah, like literally
- 33:58Speaker 23: emotions on rap. Like he's he's pioneered for like so
- 34:01Speaker 23: many things that he never gets credit for. He was
- 34:04Speaker 23: like the first teen idol, the first Like there's so
- 34:07Speaker 23: many first with him that you just you take it
- 34:09Speaker 23: for granted.
- 34:09Speaker 2: So I was gonna ask when you you talked about
- 34:12Speaker 2: deaf Jam. So let's talk about that. They when they
- 34:14Speaker 2: came to you with a contract to sign. Do you
- 34:17Speaker 2: remember what your first contract looked like and how much
- 34:19Speaker 2: they gave you?
- 34:20Speaker 19: Yeah, well, well, I mean talk about that for you know,
- 34:22Speaker 19: you gotta remember that deaf Jam was a production company.
- 34:25Speaker 1: There was no label.
- 34:26Speaker 19: Okay, it's Yours by Tila Rock was on Party Time
- 34:29Speaker 19: street Wise label. It was deaf Jam Productions, which was
- 34:33Speaker 19: Rick was the producer along with Jazzy J. And it
- 34:36Speaker 19: was more than a contract. They were actually forming a label.
- 34:39Speaker 19: Rick was having a problem, you know him, and he
- 34:41Speaker 19: was having problems getting his money from the other label
- 34:44Speaker 19: he was dealing with, so they wanted to start this
- 34:46Speaker 19: new thing. So you know that first contract, at the
- 34:49Speaker 19: time we split the publishing, they gave me like fifty thousand.
- 34:52Speaker 19: But before that, actually, my first single I ever made,
- 34:55Speaker 19: I didn't have a contract. When I made I Need
- 34:57Speaker 19: a Beat, which was the very first song I ever made,
- 34:59Speaker 19: I had no contract. It was just like, yo, let's
- 35:01Speaker 19: just get it and we'll figure it out. You know
- 35:03Speaker 19: what I'm saying. Sometimes you gotta be willing to crawl
- 35:05Speaker 19: over the barbed wire fence with no shirt on you
- 35:07Speaker 19: know what I'm saying, to get what you want.
- 35:16Speaker 1: With no shirt on. You know what I'm saying, By
- 35:18Speaker 1: the end of the store, I might have one hundred.
- 35:21Speaker 1: I'm on number six already. That was what it was.
- 35:24Speaker 1: And you know how old were you at this point? Sixteen?
- 35:28Speaker 1: I was sixteen when I mean yeah, when we started
- 35:31Speaker 1: Death Jam, I was sixteen. Did you ever feel like
- 35:32Speaker 1: you should have had like equity and depth Jam? You
- 35:35Speaker 1: did have equity in Death Jam. I did have equity
- 35:37Speaker 1: and Death Jam. I just sold it a little early,
- 35:39Speaker 1: but I definitely had ownership in Death Jam, ownership in
- 35:42Speaker 1: fool Boat. I have ownership in NCIS Los Angeles ownership
- 35:46Speaker 1: and damn lip Sync Battle I have. You know, I
- 35:48Speaker 1: own my catalog. So the things that I do, you know,
- 35:52Speaker 1: I did well, But I didn't do it for the money.
- 35:55Speaker 2: And where did you get the business mind from? Was
- 35:56Speaker 2: was it your mom's? Was it you know uncle?
- 35:59Speaker 13: Like?
- 35:59Speaker 1: Where did you get that?
- 36:00Speaker 2: Because I don't think a lot of people were thinking
- 36:01Speaker 2: ownership back then. They were just thinking I need to
- 36:03Speaker 2: blow up.
- 36:03Speaker 1: You know what? You know what I've learned?
- 36:05Speaker 17: Man?
- 36:05Speaker 19: You know, like, and people may have heard me say
- 36:07Speaker 19: this before, you know, if a homeless man tell you
- 36:09Speaker 19: not to do push up some traffic. You should listen
- 36:11Speaker 19: because you might get ran over. A lot of times
- 36:13Speaker 19: people were like yo, another one yo. A lot of
- 36:15Speaker 19: people were like, yo, you homeless?
- 36:17Speaker 7: What do you know?
- 36:17Speaker 1: All right?
- 36:18Speaker 19: Brown today in the news. So the business thing I
- 36:25Speaker 19: learned from people before me and after me. Now what
- 36:27Speaker 19: the Monica ladies love cool j Right? Did you always
- 36:31Speaker 19: feel like these dudes gonna think I'm sweet? So I'm
- 36:33Speaker 19: gonna I have to have these these rhyms in the
- 36:35Speaker 19: corner just in case. The ladies love cool Jay thing
- 36:38Speaker 19: was just wish for thinking. You know, I'm fifteen on
- 36:41Speaker 19: one girls ladies love cool Jack right.
- 36:44Speaker 1: It wasn't really not being true.
- 36:49Speaker 19: It didn't have to be that like people took that
- 36:52Speaker 19: a little. It just kind of worked out. It'll cool Jay.
- 37:00Speaker 19: I hope you know what I mean.
- 37:01Speaker 1: But you never rebelled against the sex symbol image I
- 37:03Speaker 1: saw like it. I mean, look, I made I need
- 37:06Speaker 1: love because I like girls.
- 37:08Speaker 19: I may like rock the bells because I like the
- 37:10Speaker 19: do the hard for me growing up, I like girls, right,
- 37:13Speaker 19: So putting I need love out me doing love songs
- 37:16Speaker 19: is the equivalent of me walking into projects with a
- 37:18Speaker 19: neck full of jury.
- 37:20Speaker 1: It's the same thing.
- 37:21Speaker 19: The strength isn't doing what you want to do true artistically,
- 37:24Speaker 19: that's where the strength is. I do what I want
- 37:26Speaker 19: to do artistically. I don't do what they say I
- 37:29Speaker 19: should do, because then I'm not being me, I'm fronting,
- 37:32Speaker 19: I'm being somebody else.
- 37:33Speaker 1: Right, So I think that you know, and I just say,
- 37:36Speaker 1: just a lot of.
- 37:37Speaker 19: Young men in general, never limit yourself to the perception
- 37:41Speaker 19: of what other people think you should be.
- 37:43Speaker 1: Don't limit yourself to that. Be yourself, all right?
- 37:46Speaker 2: We got more with ll cool J in the Roots
- 37:48Speaker 2: when we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club,
- 37:50Speaker 2: Good morning owing everybody is DJ Envy Charlamagne to God.
- 37:54Speaker 2: We are the Breakfast Club's still kicking it with LL
- 37:57Speaker 2: cool J in the Roots. Does that have a baldy
- 37:59Speaker 2: with for y'all that you know, y'ell are so legendary
- 38:02Speaker 2: and hip hop, But people might not look at you
- 38:04Speaker 2: as a raper. They might just look at you as
- 38:06Speaker 2: an actor, or people might not look at y'all as
- 38:08Speaker 2: the Roots, as in a group, but just the guys
- 38:11Speaker 2: that we're being for tonight, you know, the younger generation especially, No, I.
- 38:14Speaker 22: Think there's value in that we've been able to reinvent
- 38:18Speaker 22: ourselves in a way that our brand has had, you know,
- 38:22Speaker 22: different iterations, different complete just lives. So the fact that yeah,
- 38:26Speaker 22: we've been on you know TV every day for the
- 38:28Speaker 22: past fifteen years, it's a whole demo. They only know
- 38:30Speaker 22: us from that, so that leaves a whole new space
- 38:34Speaker 22: for them to explore when they discover our body at work.
- 38:36Speaker 22: And then there's people who've been die hard fans of
- 38:38Speaker 22: you know, l L and the Roots forever who may
- 38:41Speaker 22: have lost track of our musical contributions along the way.
- 38:44Speaker 1: So I just appreciate the chance to sort of keep
- 38:46Speaker 1: reintroducing myself.
- 38:48Speaker 22: Me and Lle was just talking about how, you know,
- 38:49Speaker 22: you just pop out every now and then as an
- 38:51Speaker 22: artist to shut it down with those little, you know,
- 38:54Speaker 22: not not so gentle reminders, you know what I'm saying,
- 38:57Speaker 22: And you're good, and that's sort of how we navigate
- 38:58Speaker 22: the space.
- 38:59Speaker 19: And you know, the way I look at it as
- 39:01Speaker 19: it's just an opportunity, you know what I'm saying. It's
- 39:03Speaker 19: a beautiful opportunity to put you up on something new
- 39:06Speaker 19: and if you don't know, come find out, come to
- 39:08Speaker 19: the show.
- 39:09Speaker 1: You know, what I'm saying. That's why we're on tour.
- 39:10Speaker 1: You can come see some music.
- 39:11Speaker 19: It's multi generational, you know, just like the festival, multi generational.
- 39:15Speaker 19: So come out to the tour, come to the forth tour,
- 39:17Speaker 19: see what we're doing. You know what I'm saying, Get
- 39:19Speaker 19: put onto something new. It's that simple, you know what
- 39:22Speaker 19: I'm saying. If you don't know, come find out.
- 39:23Speaker 1: Is it true that Jimmy Fallon is paying the staff
- 39:25Speaker 1: out of the pocket? Why y'all all straight?
- 39:27Speaker 23: That's a no question, Like, let me check my check,
- 39:29Speaker 23: let me check my baby account right now that I
- 39:32Speaker 23: got like nineteen other jobs.
- 39:33Speaker 1: It's not like you know, no, no one is getting paid.
- 39:38Speaker 1: Uh after that, that's kind of a myth.
- 39:41Speaker 2: I was gonna ask, was there any at any point
- 39:43Speaker 2: of any of your lives did y'all lose love for
- 39:46Speaker 2: hip hop? Maybe it was the sound change, maybe it
- 39:48Speaker 2: was wasn't received the right way, or maybe it was
- 39:51Speaker 2: I'm getting money over here? Was there any time at
- 39:53Speaker 2: that at all?
- 39:54Speaker 9: For me?
- 39:55Speaker 19: No, because I'm getting money over here has nothing to
- 39:58Speaker 19: do with love and hip hop. I don't make rap
- 39:59Speaker 19: you music and do hip hop culture and rock the
- 40:02Speaker 19: bells and all this to make money, just survive.
- 40:04Speaker 23: Well, I will say that, you know, there's times if
- 40:07Speaker 23: you're creative and your passion turns into your livelihood, that
- 40:11Speaker 23: sometimes you might have to leave it for a second.
- 40:13Speaker 23: I mean there's definitely been moments where, like you know,
- 40:16Speaker 23: like he and I have put since ninety three, probably
- 40:19Speaker 23: somewhere between one hundred and fifty to two hundred shows
- 40:23Speaker 23: a year, you know what I mean, from ninety three
- 40:26Speaker 23: up until like when we start fouing two thousand and nine,
- 40:29Speaker 23: Like our lives was on a tour bus, and you know,
- 40:32Speaker 23: the grass is always green on the other side, and
- 40:34Speaker 23: so ding the Tonight show allowed us, especially to see
- 40:38Speaker 23: what other magical powers we had, like I didn't know, like, oh,
- 40:42Speaker 23: I could write books. And both of us are professors
- 40:44Speaker 23: at NYU. You know, he wrote a play, I did
- 40:49Speaker 23: a movie and all those other things.
- 40:50Speaker 19: So a small team man, not more than sparts, just curious,
- 40:56Speaker 19: like we're creat I think all of us are creatives.
- 40:58Speaker 23: And that's the thing, Like we're creatives that are discovering
- 41:02Speaker 23: that sometimes our talent is transferable to other mediums. In avenue,
- 41:07Speaker 23: like Tarik, he's a better cook. That's how I'll put him.
- 41:10Speaker 2: Against any three micheline star chef or black grandmother.
- 41:14Speaker 1: Or whatever about to have my now for real? Like
- 41:18Speaker 1: he's the Kings Gordon Ramsey, you wanted to smoke? Now
- 41:24Speaker 1: he's getting up before m You don't.
- 41:27Speaker 22: Think I cared. I catered for the roofs other night. Yeah,
- 41:30Speaker 22: I brought a bunch of grubs to it up to
- 41:33Speaker 22: rock the bell. So you I mean, you're go ahead
- 41:34Speaker 22: and tell him what I brought.
- 41:35Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
- 41:36Speaker 23: Yes, everything from crab legs to lobster, to Colin Greens
- 41:40Speaker 23: to like his cookie, But that's what I'm saying, like.
- 41:44Speaker 1: His c check all the box you left the ChIL Yeah, yeah,
- 41:50Speaker 1: I love the chillings on the grill. Be a moment
- 41:54Speaker 1: in your careers where y'all questioning things though, you know, yeah,
- 41:57Speaker 1: definitely there have been many moments, uh, and we're I've
- 42:00Speaker 1: questioned you know, myself and where we've questioned ourselves, you
- 42:04Speaker 1: know what I mean as a collective.
- 42:05Speaker 22: And you know, in those moments of pause, that's when
- 42:08Speaker 22: you're able to answer the call. And I think you know,
- 42:10Speaker 22: you just get those bursts of clarity. And it's been
- 42:13Speaker 22: a blessing that we've been able to reinvent ourselves, you know,
- 42:15Speaker 22: because yeah, you know, I just like I was saying,
- 42:17Speaker 22: I would be making music. I would be writing songs
- 42:20Speaker 22: and you know, creating art whether I was able to
- 42:24Speaker 22: you know, support myself and my family off it or not.
- 42:27Speaker 22: So it's a blessing, like you know, I mean, the
- 42:29Speaker 22: plus is that I'm also able to make a career
- 42:33Speaker 22: out of it, you know what I'm saying. But yeah,
- 42:34Speaker 22: there's been times that I've questioned, you know, like what
- 42:36Speaker 22: the next chapter will look like or what the next
- 42:39Speaker 22: you know, sort of act like three of my career,
- 42:41Speaker 22: you know, am I gonna be able to swing another?
- 42:43Speaker 8: You know?
- 42:44Speaker 22: Reinvention is those moments when you sort of listen to
- 42:46Speaker 22: the universe and you go with your heart and and
- 42:49Speaker 22: things become more clear.
- 42:50Speaker 19: I mean, yeah, listen, man, It's always gonna be a
- 42:53Speaker 19: time of life where you have doubts and you have concerns,
- 42:55Speaker 19: and you have insecurities, and you feel like uncomfortable or
- 42:59Speaker 19: discomfortable about certain things. But like like Tarik said, you know,
- 43:03Speaker 19: answering that call and following your intuition, following that small
- 43:06Speaker 19: voice inside of.
- 43:07Speaker 1: You and go for it.
- 43:09Speaker 19: You know, you can't be fearful in life. You can't
- 43:12Speaker 19: be scary and you the person that has to be
- 43:14Speaker 19: able to you have to be able to trust the
- 43:15Speaker 19: most is yourself. And you have to be able to
- 43:17Speaker 19: trust yourself in moments when you are susceptible to fear
- 43:22Speaker 19: and weakness, and you just have to find that strength
- 43:25Speaker 19: and keep moving through.
- 43:26Speaker 2: You have times had been challenged and you throw shots,
- 43:29Speaker 2: whether it's Mo d back and Day Cannabus or people
- 43:32Speaker 2: even say, oh, have you ever ran into the people
- 43:34Speaker 2: that you've ever had into a lyrical sparring? And is
- 43:37Speaker 2: it all jokes and fun now or is it still
- 43:39Speaker 2: like standolphish?
- 43:41Speaker 19: Ain't no standoffish man, that's a spot. Okay, there's no time.
- 43:44Speaker 1: I mean some dudes. Look, everybody's different, man. Some people,
- 43:48Speaker 1: you know, it really bothers them, Like you know some
- 43:50Speaker 1: people like post Jack the Ripper, right or post how
- 43:57Speaker 1: you like me?
- 43:57Speaker 8: Now?
- 43:58Speaker 19: Like were you and d Ever in the room together
- 44:01Speaker 19: at any of that those periods, like yeah, I walked
- 44:04Speaker 19: out on stage of this concert before, like I'm crazy
- 44:06Speaker 19: waiting what there was no there was no social media? Man, Yeah,
- 44:11Speaker 19: we see each other.
- 44:12Speaker 15: We laugh.
- 44:14Speaker 1: When you walked out. What happened? Nothing that's ridiculous. L
- 44:19Speaker 1: kind of pioneered the rap.
- 44:21Speaker 2: Yes, well, yeah, you know, but then with cannabis. You
- 44:26Speaker 2: know what I mean, have y'all left y'all spoken?
- 44:28Speaker 1: Brought him out at Barclays when I perform. Remember that's right.
- 44:31Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
- 44:32Speaker 2: You know, I see and I see, we see pictures.
- 44:34Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, we got the you know we're doing
- 44:36Speaker 1: we got things we're doing now together. You know what
- 44:38Speaker 1: about you and what was what was you in hohod?
- 44:40Speaker 1: But I never understood that one either. That felt like
- 44:42Speaker 1: just ego. I really, I honestly couldn't tell you, bro,
- 44:45Speaker 1: I have no idea. All I know is it's all love.
- 44:47Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like you know, it's we
- 44:48Speaker 1: Gucci like for real, like you know, you know listen, man,
- 44:52Speaker 1: does a conversation make things straight or just over time?
- 44:55Speaker 1: It just you realize it wasn't really about nothing.
- 44:56Speaker 2: They said at the time that you didn't like him
- 44:58Speaker 2: as president or death ya, and that's they said. It
- 45:00Speaker 2: came from.
- 45:02Speaker 1: Dude.
- 45:04Speaker 21: Next question, y'all in the old street stuff and the
- 45:12Speaker 21: stuff like streets, yea. Next question, I tell you like this,
- 45:19Speaker 21: I tell you like this, man, You know, at the
- 45:21Speaker 21: end of the day, I got love for everybody.
- 45:23Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I just want to do
- 45:25Speaker 1: great things.
- 45:26Speaker 8: You know.
- 45:26Speaker 19: As a matter of fact, I think there's a part
- 45:28Speaker 19: in the show where I actually get into this stuff
- 45:30Speaker 19: a little bit with a freestyle.
- 45:32Speaker 1: So you know, people should just come to the show
- 45:34Speaker 1: and check it out. And he how I address it,
- 45:36Speaker 1: I will keep a lock.
- 45:37Speaker 2: We got more with Lell and the Roots.
- 45:39Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club the Morning about music and how
- 45:41Speaker 1: do y'all feel about it? We all celebrating fifty years
- 45:43Speaker 1: of hip hop. About icons that haven't gotten paid, like
- 45:47Speaker 1: icons that really paved the way, laid this foundation, but
- 45:50Speaker 1: they haven't gotten paid the way they feel like they should.
- 45:53Speaker 23: You know, that's the that's the million dollar question in
- 45:56Speaker 23: music industry because it happens with blues artists, is happening
- 45:58Speaker 23: with my dad's generation.
- 46:00Speaker 19: And you know, look, I started Rock the Bells as
- 46:04Speaker 19: a company, right, so I gave DJ coolherk equity run.
- 46:08Speaker 19: DMC has equity and Rock the Bell's ownership. Rock Sanne
- 46:13Speaker 19: Chante has ownership, Big Daddy Kane has ownership, Salt and
- 46:16Speaker 19: Pepper has ownership.
- 46:18Speaker 1: Yeah, Eminem actually invested he wrote a check. He has some.
- 46:22Speaker 19: Ernie Panacolea the photographer hip hop photographer, has ownership. I
- 46:26Speaker 19: gave quite a few different people fab five Freddy as ownership.
- 46:30Speaker 19: And because we've created such a high evaluation with Rock
- 46:34Speaker 19: the Bells and what that's become, that equity is going
- 46:36Speaker 19: to mean something for them in their states. So why
- 46:39Speaker 19: did I answer like that? Because my thing is this,
- 46:42Speaker 19: you don't get better, you get better. And instead of
- 46:45Speaker 19: like when I felt like, oh, I don't feel like
- 46:47Speaker 19: they play my music enough, I got my own channel right.
- 46:50Speaker 19: But then I decided, you know what, it's not about
- 46:52Speaker 19: me though, It's about the culture. So I'm gonna play.
- 46:53Speaker 19: I'm not gonna be a pig. I'm a flipp it.
- 46:55Speaker 19: I'm gonna make sure that I take care of everybody.
- 46:57Speaker 19: So with Rock the Bells, that question is being answered
- 47:01Speaker 19: through action. You feel what I'm saying. So that's how
- 47:05Speaker 19: you deal with that, You know what I mean, Charlaman,
- 47:06Speaker 19: That's how you deal with it. You don't deal with
- 47:08Speaker 19: it by complaining and pulling out the world's smallest violin
- 47:11Speaker 19: and just talking about how sad it is that it
- 47:14Speaker 19: happened again.
- 47:15Speaker 1: You do something about it. You know what I mean.
- 47:17Speaker 23: And there are some things that have happened as well
- 47:18Speaker 23: that well you'll know about later, like union or something
- 47:22Speaker 23: you'll hear about it later.
- 47:23Speaker 2: Now, what was your what was your most favorite hip
- 47:25Speaker 2: hop moment?
- 47:26Speaker 5: For me?
- 47:27Speaker 1: You know, I mean there's been very many of them.
- 47:29Speaker 22: A standout moment for me, like when I felt like
- 47:31Speaker 22: I had arrived as an MC was many years ago?
- 47:34Speaker 1: Was it ninety six? A great damn hip Hop? Ninety eight?
- 47:37Speaker 1: When was that ninety post magazine show?
- 47:40Speaker 23: Oh, double excel looten. It was the day we mastered
- 47:43Speaker 23: things for all apart. It's like September twenty eight, nineteen
- 47:46Speaker 23: ninety eight.
- 47:47Speaker 22: So yeah, like in ninety eight, when you know everybody,
- 47:50Speaker 22: they got all of hip hop essentially together, or at
- 47:53Speaker 22: least you know, people who represented every genre, you know,
- 47:56Speaker 22: every region.
- 47:57Speaker 1: We all got together in Harlem and took a photo.
- 48:00Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I remember that.
- 48:01Speaker 22: I was based on the image that Goring Parks took, uh,
- 48:05Speaker 22: you know years ago. That was a great day in
- 48:07Speaker 22: jazz where you know, all the jazz musicians took the
- 48:10Speaker 22: same photo on these uh in front of these brownstones
- 48:13Speaker 22: and Harlem.
- 48:14Speaker 1: And I had to step out right before this photo
- 48:16Speaker 1: was taken.
- 48:17Speaker 22: I had to step out to like one like use
- 48:20Speaker 22: the bathroom soon and I left and when I came
- 48:22Speaker 22: back there was ready to take the picture. So I'm like,
- 48:24Speaker 22: you know, excuse me, like ushering my way back through
- 48:26Speaker 22: the crowd because I think what they had the roots
- 48:28Speaker 22: was way in the nosebleeds of this image and that
- 48:31Speaker 22: you know, making my way back up to the top,
- 48:33Speaker 22: I bumped in a rock camp, you know, when it
- 48:35Speaker 22: was my first time meeting him in person. And when
- 48:38Speaker 22: he looked at he had like a hoodie on. You know,
- 48:39Speaker 22: I ain't know who I bumped into. When I looked
- 48:41Speaker 22: at dude, it was like a druid or somebody. And
- 48:43Speaker 22: he lift his head up, pulled the hoodie back. He
- 48:45Speaker 22: was like, oh you and he was he was like
- 48:48Speaker 22: more excited to meet me. And I was like, yo,
- 48:50Speaker 22: like I must be that dude like yeah, you know,
- 48:53Speaker 22: like you know what I'm saying.
- 48:54Speaker 1: And uh yeah, that was That was a huge moment
- 48:56Speaker 1: for me.
- 48:56Speaker 8: Man.
- 48:56Speaker 22: I went back up there and you know, I took
- 48:58Speaker 22: I took the pic, and uh that think things have
- 49:00Speaker 22: never been the same for me.
- 49:02Speaker 19: I think the biggest moment in hip hop for me
- 49:05Speaker 19: in my entire career. The moment that like really it
- 49:08Speaker 19: was they called me bigen yo want to I want
- 49:23Speaker 19: to see that and that was a moment talk about
- 49:25Speaker 19: I mean that big elle moment.
- 49:26Speaker 1: Listen, I want to talk.
- 49:28Speaker 22: I want to talk about just how fun it is,
- 49:30Speaker 22: you know for me as an artist, as someone you
- 49:33Speaker 22: know who came up just quoting all these lyrics to
- 49:36Speaker 22: what you know, to have a chance to support my heroes,
- 49:38Speaker 22: you know what I mean. It's always a full circle
- 49:40Speaker 22: moment for me when I get up there and I
- 49:42Speaker 22: get to sort of play the support and role to
- 49:44Speaker 22: an l L or a cane or cam or you know.
- 49:47Speaker 1: What I'm saying.
- 49:49Speaker 2: Yea is huge for me.
- 49:51Speaker 19: It's not you know what's impressive though, What suppressive is
- 49:53Speaker 19: you know everybody's catalog have you have? You have a
- 49:56Speaker 19: photographic memory and you sound great and you know it's
- 50:00Speaker 19: like it comes natural. So it's like you're a pro,
- 50:03Speaker 19: you know what I mean. So you know, and you
- 50:06Speaker 19: got a why mic is still can stay out the way.
- 50:08Speaker 19: So that's some rips, like you know, you know, everybody
- 50:10Speaker 19: don't know how to do that, Like I'm used to that,
- 50:12Speaker 19: you know what I mean. So it's like those kinds
- 50:14Speaker 19: of things like, I mean, look, I love working with them.
- 50:17Speaker 19: I love the what we're doing.
- 50:19Speaker 8: You know.
- 50:19Speaker 19: I think that when people come and see this tour
- 50:22Speaker 19: and see how we're doing it, the guests we bring
- 50:24Speaker 19: in and out depending on what city where Queen Latife
- 50:27Speaker 19: or a method man of Red Man or Juvenile or
- 50:30Speaker 19: even Iced Tea. He got some dates on the tour.
- 50:33Speaker 19: He's gonna be out there with me on stage. I mean,
- 50:35Speaker 19: so many different acts that will be on the stage.
- 50:37Speaker 19: I think people are going to be blown away.
- 50:39Speaker 1: How stressful was putting together the fiftieth anniversary tribute for
- 50:42Speaker 1: the Grammys, Because I know.
- 50:46Speaker 23: You, Ques, I put it this way to the artists
- 50:58Speaker 23: dropped out in our before taping. And the thing is
- 51:03Speaker 23: is that it's so tightly choreographed that you're not just
- 51:06Speaker 23: dealing with like we make it look easy, like okay,
- 51:10Speaker 23: that I is not here right now, so let's just
- 51:11Speaker 23: skip his part.
- 51:12Speaker 1: No, because the show is live.
- 51:14Speaker 23: So this means that now I personally have to run
- 51:18Speaker 23: to the light people to tell them, Yo, the seven
- 51:22Speaker 23: minute and thirteen second portion untill eight twenty three is out.
- 51:26Speaker 23: While they're doing the show live doing commercial breaks, they
- 51:28Speaker 23: have to now edit. Then you have to run to
- 51:30Speaker 23: the dancers and tell them, hey, guys, bad news, blah
- 51:33Speaker 23: blah blah blah blah's not here anymore. So and they're
- 51:35Speaker 23: all like dejected, like I hadn't It was the most
- 51:38Speaker 23: magiver thing I ever did in my life, where and
- 51:41Speaker 23: it still came off like I wasn't even aware that
- 51:44Speaker 23: lul Uzivert had got my text for him to come
- 51:47Speaker 23: on stage to do that. So I'm thinking, I don't
- 51:50Speaker 23: know if you remember Purple Range when like Prince stormed
- 51:52Speaker 23: off stage after Prople Rain because he thought like he
- 51:55Speaker 23: like I was about to have a panic attack, like
- 51:57Speaker 23: it's over, It's over, and all the roots are celebrating.
- 51:59Speaker 1: I'm like, wait, what do you war? And they're looking
- 52:02Speaker 1: on Twitter like you see this, and I was like, wait,
- 52:04Speaker 1: was he was on stage?
- 52:06Speaker 23: Only because only because where I was positioned, I couldn't
- 52:09Speaker 23: see my like couldn't see if he actually like.
- 52:12Speaker 22: Literally I will say, yeah, the way the stage of
- 52:14Speaker 22: the Grammys this year was set up, it was two
- 52:16Speaker 22: complete different stages.
- 52:18Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, so like half this band was, you know,
- 52:21Speaker 1: essentially in a different room. So it came off.
- 52:24Speaker 23: But just as the person who was the traffic cop
- 52:26Speaker 23: making up for you know, okay, we gotta skip this
- 52:29Speaker 23: on that or whatever.
- 52:30Speaker 2: Like it was a difficult one.
- 52:31Speaker 19: It was a hell Mary throw and then you know
- 52:33Speaker 19: you can called it. You gotta talk to people. You know,
- 52:35Speaker 19: some people you have to like rub lavender synth under
- 52:38Speaker 19: they know was another dude.
- 52:39Speaker 1: Goddamn, he needs a black couple of black coffee.
- 52:42Speaker 19: This one over here, you gotta put your thumb right
- 52:45Speaker 19: on his trap right if you talk to him. This
- 52:47Speaker 19: one you gotta pay. You gotta snap your fingers. He's okay, okay,
- 52:51Speaker 19: you know what I mean. So it's like, you know,
- 52:53Speaker 19: somebody is distracted, you know what I mean.
- 52:55Speaker 1: I feel like an impossible show to do, though, because
- 52:57Speaker 1: you're going to miss people, and people are gonna get
- 53:00Speaker 1: recommended me.
- 53:01Speaker 23: Well, now I don't recommend it. I just recommend that
- 53:03Speaker 23: you you make sure that you know what you're getting too.
- 53:05Speaker 23: Because back in November I was like, oh yeah, I
- 53:07Speaker 23: want to do this, and then by January I was like,
- 53:10Speaker 23: I see what y'all did.
- 53:12Speaker 1: Now, y'all good guy, not nice guy?
- 53:14Speaker 8: Right.
- 53:15Speaker 19: We knew in advance we couldn't have everybody. It'd be
- 53:17Speaker 19: ten thousand people. We can't do ten thousand songs in
- 53:20Speaker 19: a row.
- 53:20Speaker 23: Yeah, my first draft was like twenty eight minutes because
- 53:23Speaker 23: I included everybody, you know what I mean? So you
- 53:25Speaker 23: know it was supposed to be eleven minutes, and we
- 53:27Speaker 23: fought hard for those thirteen minutes.
- 53:29Speaker 19: Like we just and you got to remember how many
- 53:31Speaker 19: millions of dollars those minutes costs. Right, you know what
- 53:33Speaker 19: I'm saying, question, we're doing right by a culture, and
- 53:36Speaker 19: that's the thing. Quest Look did a massive job orchestrating it,
- 53:39Speaker 19: kind of moving these pieces around.
- 53:41Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like you gotta have you know,
- 53:45Speaker 1: you do the best you can.
- 53:46Speaker 5: Right.
- 53:46Speaker 19: We knew we couldn't please everybody, you know, he did,
- 53:49Speaker 19: he did, He went, He did everything within his power
- 53:51Speaker 19: to make sure that everybody was represented on some level,
- 53:54Speaker 19: everybody from Chuck D to Blow Riller and little.
- 53:57Speaker 1: Baby I will keep a lock.
- 53:59Speaker 2: We got more with the roots.
- 54:00Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club, Good Morning.
- 54:02Speaker 2: And everybody is DJ Envy Charlamagne, the god we are.
- 54:05Speaker 2: The Breakfast Club was still kicking it with LL cool
- 54:08Speaker 2: J in the Roots, Charlamagne.
- 54:10Speaker 1: How do y'all feel about lists? Because Billboard had y'all
- 54:12Speaker 1: ranked number ten group of all time. Really yeah, ll
- 54:16Speaker 1: had you ranked number fourteen of the top rappers ever
- 54:20Speaker 1: and you coined the term goat, But for some reason
- 54:24Speaker 1: your name doesn't always get put in those goat conversations?
- 54:27Speaker 1: How did that?
- 54:27Speaker 19: Because he's too good? People can never look at well,
- 54:30Speaker 19: you know, you know, I guess I just got to
- 54:32Speaker 19: do something about it. You know, I guess that just
- 54:34Speaker 19: means I got some work to do, you know what
- 54:35Speaker 19: I mean. I guess that's what it means. I mean,
- 54:38Speaker 19: I could sit here and come up with a thousand
- 54:39Speaker 19: different excuses, but at the end of the day, I
- 54:42Speaker 19: guess my job is to change that narrative.
- 54:44Speaker 1: So yeah, to be continued for me, man Like, I'm
- 54:47Speaker 1: not you know, I'm fine.
- 54:49Speaker 22: Like whoever, when I do fall like on those lists,
- 54:53Speaker 22: it's always, you know, just an honor to be held
- 54:56Speaker 22: in the company that I'm held in.
- 54:57Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. It's never any other artists
- 54:59Speaker 1: on them list that I don't feel, you know, deserve it.
- 55:02Speaker 1: But you know where you rank.
- 55:04Speaker 22: I think that you know, it's relative, and I think
- 55:06Speaker 22: that you know it varies from person to person, different
- 55:09Speaker 22: folks opinions. Yeah, I know, I'm I'm a force to
- 55:12Speaker 22: be reckoning with. I know everybody know that, so I'm
- 55:15Speaker 22: fine with it, you know.
- 55:16Speaker 19: Yeah, And you know the other thing I would add
- 55:18Speaker 19: is that I think this is an overused term, but
- 55:20Speaker 19: in my cases, I'm different.
- 55:22Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I'm saying the fact I really am.
- 55:25Speaker 19: So it's like if they don't understand, like how much
- 55:28Speaker 19: I changed the world, if you wasn't there, you just
- 55:30Speaker 19: don't understand that. Like you have to remember that just
- 55:33Speaker 19: with death Jam alone. Name the artists that will signed
- 55:36Speaker 19: the death gam over time.
- 55:39Speaker 1: Name five.
- 55:48Speaker 19: So let's stop right there, right. So, I'm the first
- 55:51Speaker 19: artist on death Jam. It was a production company, Tela Rock.
- 55:53Speaker 19: I'm the first artist. I put the label on my
- 55:55Speaker 19: back and I got us the distribution deal with my album.
- 55:59Speaker 19: What are we talking about? What are we really talking
- 56:03Speaker 19: about it?
- 56:03Speaker 1: Like, so that's putting the work into really be a pillow.
- 56:07Speaker 2: I gotta ask Mount Rushmore of hip hop to y'all,
- 56:10Speaker 2: who would be the four faces on that?
- 56:12Speaker 1: Not even personally? You can't be personal. And we're telling
- 56:15Speaker 1: me those people that put hisself on I mean you,
- 56:18Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like your personal favorites, like in the
- 56:20Speaker 1: future when we're not here and somebody looking like, who
- 56:22Speaker 1: are those people? They call me big man? All right,
- 56:27Speaker 1: So my as as as a music.
- 56:31Speaker 23: Lover DJ and a producer, my mount Rushmore of albums
- 56:36Speaker 23: would probably be Nation of Millions, three ft I and Rising,
- 56:41Speaker 23: and then the thirty six and probably lastly I might
- 56:47Speaker 23: say Midnight Marauders. Like those four records sort of informed
- 56:52Speaker 23: me to go deep into the culture and actually to
- 56:54Speaker 23: get my own career.
- 56:55Speaker 1: So look, man, I just keep it, keep it simple
- 56:59Speaker 1: to me.
- 56:59Speaker 19: When you talk about like a real rush More and
- 57:01Speaker 19: you talk about the shaping of the culture, you have
- 57:04Speaker 19: to look at its first principles. You know, it's like
- 57:07Speaker 19: anything else, you break it down the first principles, right,
- 57:09Speaker 19: you know, you gotta put DJ cool Hirk. He ain't
- 57:12Speaker 19: on Rushmore. I just he just started it. No big deal,
- 57:16Speaker 19: no big deal. This is something I did, Okay. And
- 57:19Speaker 19: then you have to put run DMC up up there
- 57:22Speaker 19: because they kicked down the doors and the walls, and
- 57:25Speaker 19: you know, put me on there back to a certain
- 57:27Speaker 19: stand as well. And I was the solo guy who
- 57:29Speaker 19: went out there, got shot out of that cannon. And
- 57:32Speaker 19: then you have to put Flash and mail Flash because
- 57:35Speaker 19: he made us dream of the culture, the DJ, the
- 57:39Speaker 19: art of the DJ, the idea that a DJ could
- 57:42Speaker 19: affect culture and move culture.
- 57:44Speaker 1: Flash made us do that.
- 57:45Speaker 19: And then you gotta say mal because he was the
- 57:47Speaker 19: first original prolific writer. Like those are the core, you
- 57:51Speaker 19: know what I'm saying. You have a couple of others,
- 57:53Speaker 19: but like that core, right there is the real core.
- 57:55Speaker 19: Anything after that fan based this. You know, it's based
- 57:58Speaker 19: on oh he made money or oh he had a
- 58:00Speaker 19: lot of platinum albums. Oh he got people to change
- 58:03Speaker 19: their shirts. Oh yo that he got you know, all
- 58:06Speaker 19: of that is cool, but DJ cool, Hirk Run, DMC, Grandmaster,
- 58:11Speaker 19: Flash and Mail.
- 58:12Speaker 1: You removed that and like what you got?
- 58:15Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 58:15Speaker 1: For me, I think it boils down to, uh, just
- 58:19Speaker 1: who had the most impact, you know, upon my craft.
- 58:23Speaker 1: So I get props to you know, the the L's
- 58:25Speaker 1: and you know the BC Boys and the Chuck D's
- 58:28Speaker 1: and even running them even though they weren't depth jam artists,
- 58:31Speaker 1: but that whole first wave of depth jam artists were
- 58:33Speaker 1: the first people that I heard had that rush roster.
- 58:36Speaker 1: They had that powerful cadence that was just different from
- 58:39Speaker 1: with mel and Curtis Blow and everybody was doing you
- 58:42Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, run DMC. You know what I'm saying.
- 58:44Speaker 22: They came out like wolves going on here el cool,
- 58:47Speaker 22: then chuck d you know what I mean, yelling. There
- 58:50Speaker 22: was the yelling, so it was you know, that was
- 58:52Speaker 22: like wow, like they had arrived. They you know, changed
- 58:54Speaker 22: the way I wrote. You know what I'm saying. After
- 58:56Speaker 22: I was exposed to that, did you ever write for.
- 58:59Speaker 2: You, collabor collaborate on You can still tap this joke me,
- 59:04Speaker 2: you can still tape?
- 59:07Speaker 1: No no, no, no no, Now. We never did any
- 59:10Speaker 1: music together. I saw this on the internet. Somebody said
- 59:12Speaker 1: around that time, Cube was helping you. You know what,
- 59:15Speaker 1: people have this.
- 59:16Speaker 19: You know, you know people, they got a lot of stories, bro,
- 59:19Speaker 19: They come up with a lot of stories, you know
- 59:20Speaker 19: what I mean. Hey, Hey, hey, Michael Jordan, did uh
- 59:24Speaker 19: somebody ever bounced the ball for you and shoot your
- 59:26Speaker 19: jump shot for you? Like, no, I shot the jump shot.
- 59:29Speaker 1: Listen.
- 59:30Speaker 19: I'm not above collaborating on a chorus or working on
- 59:33Speaker 19: something like I'm not I'm not picky like that. If
- 59:34Speaker 19: I was writing a rhyme and somebody said, YO said
- 59:36Speaker 19: a word, I'd be like, all right, I like that word.
- 59:38Speaker 1: I'm cool with that. But you know, I write my songs.
- 59:41Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I have to because it
- 59:42Speaker 1: has to come from me.
- 59:44Speaker 19: And if you collaborate too much on at least from
- 59:47Speaker 19: LL cool J fans, If I collaborated too much with
- 59:49Speaker 19: somebody on writing, it would affect what they're listening to.
- 59:53Speaker 19: It wouldn't sound like me, you know what I mean,
- 59:55Speaker 19: because they are very unique things to LL cool J.
- 59:58Speaker 19: So I'll give you I'll give you an example. So
- 1:00:00Speaker 19: I tried to do a more collaborative writing album. I
- 1:00:03Speaker 19: did a whole album with fifty Cents and we were
- 1:00:06Speaker 19: writing together on this album. And when it was done,
- 1:00:09Speaker 19: I listened to it. I'm like, it sounds good. I
- 1:00:12Speaker 19: like the music, the rhymes, it sounds.
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: Cool, but it ain't me.
- 1:00:16Speaker 19: So I didn't put it out. It wasn't nothing against fifty.
- 1:00:18Speaker 19: I love fifty. I just wanted to try something different.
- 1:00:20Speaker 19: Maybe we collaborate right together. It didn't work. I think
- 1:00:23Speaker 19: you think Paradise was this O no, no, no, no.
- 1:00:25Speaker 19: Paradise is totally different. Fifty wrote the chorus on Paradise
- 1:00:29Speaker 19: for a Marie what she sung. He didn't write my rhymes,
- 1:00:33Speaker 19: you know what I mean? Like people get that a
- 1:00:34Speaker 19: little you know what I'm saying. That being said when
- 1:00:37Speaker 19: that happened, I didn't even know fifty was involved. That
- 1:00:39Speaker 19: was the track masters. They got that done right and
- 1:00:42Speaker 19: they played it with the chorus.
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: I liked it, etc. You know, we tried to work
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: together and that's my man. You know what I'm saying.
- 1:00:48Speaker 19: We real cool, But the collaborative thing when it comes
- 1:00:51Speaker 19: to my verses, that doesn't work for me.
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: And you know, I'm kind of like, it's funny when
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: you do this a long time.
- 1:00:57Speaker 19: The longer you do this, the more people does he
- 1:00:59Speaker 19: still got can he still do it? Is he gonna
- 1:01:02Speaker 19: be able to do it? It kind of reminds me
- 1:01:03Speaker 19: of the Crawfit fight the other night. There were a
- 1:01:06Speaker 19: lot of people who like were really like nervous for Crawfit, right, Yeah,
- 1:01:11Speaker 19: it was a lot of people that were nervous for
- 1:01:13Speaker 19: Crawfit when he was walking in the ring and he
- 1:01:15Speaker 19: showed what it is. And I think with me, for
- 1:01:18Speaker 19: whatever reason, people are never quite sure if how it's
- 1:01:21Speaker 19: gonna be.
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: But do you like being underestimated? I love it, I
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: actually love it. I'm good with that.
- 1:01:28Speaker 19: I'm good with that because that, you know, that only
- 1:01:30Speaker 19: makes the jab that much stiffer than we appreciate.
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: Make sure we get the tickets for the tour. How
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: can they get tickets if they need to go to
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: I mean, just.

- 1:03:27Speaker 1: this incident happened in Panama City Beach, Florida. So it's
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: clearly something in the water in Florida. You spend too
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: much time there, you get hit with that Florida fool gene.
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: Now what does you uncle y'all always say about the
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: great state of Florida. They're craziest people in America come
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: from the Bronx and all of Florida, and today is
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: no exception. Okay, Derek Porter, you are a Florida man today.
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: Now let me start with the headline courtesy of news
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: Channel eight Florida, because I love the headlines when they
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: come from Florida. Okay, when it's Florida foolishness, all the
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: headlines be amazing. Okay, first off, the headline reads Florida.
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: Then it says man breaks into Florida church, baptizes himself
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: before stealing money. Let's go to news Channel eight for
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: the report.
- 1:04:07Speaker 14: Police mid morning man not ended today with a Georgia
- 1:04:10Speaker 14: man in custody bake on his Sheriff's deputies arrested Derek
- 1:04:13Speaker 14: Porter on burglary, criminal.
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: Misshif and several drug charges.
- 1:04:17Speaker 14: They say that Porter broke into the Emerald Beach Church
- 1:04:21Speaker 14: of God on alf Coleman and Panama City Beach this morning.
- 1:04:25Speaker 14: He allegedly used a cinder block to smash a window,
- 1:04:27Speaker 14: which alerted to the church employee, who fled.
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: Authority say that Porter.
- 1:04:31Speaker 14: Called about eight thousand dollars in damage, took some electronic
- 1:04:33Speaker 14: equipment and the church money bag. Depanese, Panama City Beach
- 1:04:37Speaker 14: police and canine units descended on the church and arrested Porter.
- 1:04:41Speaker 14: They say he had meth and paraphernalia. Porter supposedly claimed
- 1:04:44Speaker 14: that he could not remember what happened inside of the church,
- 1:04:48Speaker 14: at least not most of it, but he did say
- 1:04:49Speaker 14: he remembered baptizing himself in the church's baptism pool, and
- 1:04:54Speaker 14: he claimed something was holding his head under the water.
- 1:04:57Speaker 14: Porter was already free on bond for a burglary in Georgia.
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: There's so much wrong with this. First of all, using
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: to send the block to break the church's windows, to
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: break into the church. Now, I know, Scripture says that
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: God does not live in houses made by human hands,
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: so I'm not gonna say the church is God's house,
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: but it is a place of positivity for the most part,
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: a place with people congregate in worship, a place where
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: people go to seek forgiveness and salvation. To break the
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: church's windows may not send you to hell, but damn it,
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: it's shure not creating positive energy in your life either.
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: This sounds like this brother watched First Sunday with Ice
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: Cuban Tracy Morgan one too many times. All Right, the
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: church is the place where you go to learn about
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: the most forgiving entity ever God. Okay, keyword is for giving,
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: all right. In Derek's mind, he looked at the church
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: to be responsible for giving him money. All right, Listen,
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: we know every church collects tides and offerings and of
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: course the building fund that don't really be building anything.
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: But never did we ever think to rob the church?
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: Have we ever thought about taking back our twenty dollars
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying that we put in the
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: collect you know, putting in a five or a couple
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: ones instead. Yes, Okay, every Sunday we think about that
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: when you're given your offering. But you really pushing God's
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: forgiveness when you take the criminal actions in the church. Now,
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: let's keep in mind that police said they found meth
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: and drug paraphernilia on Derek, so he was probably high
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: out of his mind. And when he tells police that
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: he could not remember what happened during various moments inside
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: the church, it's because he was high, all right. But
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: he does remember baptizing himself in the church's baptistory pool.
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: It's safe to say he was high out of his
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: mind if that's what he thinks. Okay, see Porter claims
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: something was holding his head down under the water while
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: letting the pool. Derek, let me be the first to
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: tell you that you were experiencing a meth induced psychosis,
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: all right, hallucination. You weren't being baptized. You were swimming,
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: all right. You took a lap or two in the
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: church's pool. Now, can you baptize yourself? Sure?
- 1:06:52Speaker 19: All right.
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: It's not the pattern laid out in the Bible, nor
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: is that the recommended method of being baptized. However, if
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: you truly understand the purpose of water baptism that is
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: revealed the Word of God, Okay, you can do it,
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: all right. And if you have no one who was
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: able to baptize you at the time, then of course
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: you might do it yourself. But don't listen to me, okay,
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: because there's not a Jakes or robertson my name. So
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: I could be totally wrong, but I don't think breaking
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: into a church being high off meth is the right
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: environment are setting for a baptism? Now, let me tell
- 1:07:18Speaker 1: you something else. Let me tell you where else this
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: man went wrong and why he's truly getting donkey here
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: to day to day. You're broken to the church. Okay,
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: send the block to the window. Bang. You cost eight
- 1:07:28Speaker 1: thousand dollars worth of damage to the church. Then you
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: stole all the electronics, TV's computers, and the church's money bag.
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: That's why you're being charged with burglary of an occupied destructure.
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: Now here's the thing. Your order was off, my brother. Okay,
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: you're broken to the church and baptized yourself first and
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: then committed all these sins. If you was gonna do it,
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: you should have broken to the church, stole what you
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: wanted to steal, and saved the baptism for last, because
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: the whole point of baptism is to wash your where
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: your sins. Correct. What you did is the equivalent of
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: taking a shower and then doing a number two. Okay,
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: you are a different type of human, basically a psychopath.
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: If you shower, then do a number two on purpose. Okay,
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: I understand sometimes you know happens, all right, but nobody
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: purposely takes a shower and then does the number two,
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: just like nobody walks into a church, gets baptized and
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: then sins on purpose. You might sin after you get baptized,
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: but not on purpose, like you have to pick one there,
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: all right, if you're gonna break into a church and
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: still you have to get baptized at a later date,
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: but you're damn showing on baptize yourself first and then sin.
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: Please give Derek Porter the sweet signs of the Hamilton's.
- 1:08:33Speaker 13: Oh no, you are the doggy of the day, the
- 1:08:42Speaker 13: dogee all the day.
- 1:08:47Speaker 9: Ye.
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: Now, I can't prove any of this, but but I
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: feel like ej Envy showers and then takes the number
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: two on purpose. What do you think, Ashley?
- 1:09:01Speaker 2: Is that what you're thinking about?
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: Why is the way you looked when I said it?
- 1:09:06Speaker 13: No?
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: Yes, when I said it, you looked like.
- 1:09:09Speaker 3: He was unfazed.
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: What's wrong with that?
- 1:09:10Speaker 2: No, that's not not true at all. But the way
- 1:09:13Speaker 2: you just asked that question, it seems like on won't
- 1:09:17Speaker 2: you just answer the question, what if I poop my shower.
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: Do you shower and then poop on purpose?
- 1:09:22Speaker 2: Though?
- 1:09:22Speaker 8: No?
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: Okay, just you are a liar and a liar that's
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: not true.
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: Okay when I poop my shower, all right, I'm not judging.
- 1:09:31Speaker 2: Why are you all on my butt? Not not, nor
- 1:09:34Speaker 2: do I want to be? And why you're asking? B

- 1:10:40Speaker 3: who well, I was friends with for ten years. Absolutely,
- 1:10:43Speaker 3: when when I feel like I need to reach you,
- 1:10:45Speaker 3: you can drop everything you're doing so I can reach you.
- 1:10:48Speaker 3: And I think that's what God he did with Angel
- 1:10:49Speaker 3: Simmons because he had been trying to get her like
- 1:10:51Speaker 3: bag her for a while. Right, So you ain't gonna
- 1:10:53Speaker 3: let go of all that work.
- 1:10:54Speaker 2: You put in, all right, So that is the question.
- 1:10:56Speaker 2: Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. Ladies,
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: do you feel all men should have this kind of
- 1:11:00Speaker 2: energy to make your a priority no matter what is
- 1:11:03Speaker 2: going on in your life. Let's discuss. It's the Breakfast Club.
- 1:11:05Speaker 2: Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: It's topic time.
- 1:11:16Speaker 24: Call eight hundred five five one to join into the
- 1:11:18Speaker 24: discussion with the breakfast Club.
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: Morning everybody.
- 1:11:22Speaker 2: It's DJ n V Charlamagne de God. We are the
- 1:11:25Speaker 2: Breakfast Club. We got our special guest hosts Ashley with
- 1:11:28Speaker 2: to ease joining us.
- 1:11:29Speaker 3: What's going down now?
- 1:11:30Speaker 2: If you're just joining us, we're talking about Yo Gotti.
- 1:11:32Speaker 2: He was doing an interview out in la and while
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: he was doing the interview, his girl called and he
- 1:11:38Speaker 2: stopped the interview to answer, let's let's take a listen.
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: I feel like it's.
- 1:11:43Speaker 6: You want to take that for like, yeah, go ahead, sure, yeah?
- 1:11:47Speaker 6: What uh, I'm doing the interview right now. Okay, all right?
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: It was shorty. So we're asking who I'm not sure
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: I want to just incredible, it's just incredible.
- 1:12:05Speaker 2: So we're asking eight hundred and five eight five one
- 1:12:08Speaker 2: oh five one, ladies, do you feel all men should
- 1:12:09Speaker 2: have this kind of energy to make sure that you're
- 1:12:11Speaker 2: a priority regardless of what's going on. That is the
- 1:12:13Speaker 2: question I told y'all, Like, my phone is on vibe,
- 1:12:16Speaker 2: but if you ever hear it ring during the interview,
- 1:12:18Speaker 2: it's because it's my wife. She's the only one that
- 1:12:20Speaker 2: could break that vibration of the phone. And I do
- 1:12:22Speaker 2: that just in case when I'm over sleeping, if I'm
- 1:12:24Speaker 2: out of town, or it's a problem with the kids,
- 1:12:26Speaker 2: or she needs to get in touch with me. I
- 1:12:27Speaker 2: make sure that she is a priority.
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: Now what about you asking I said the same thing.
- 1:12:31Speaker 3: I said, I should be your priority like any woman,
- 1:12:34Speaker 3: especially now if gott he chased Angel Simmons for how long?
- 1:12:39Speaker 3: You chase that chase for that long? You better be
- 1:12:41Speaker 3: like on deck at all times?
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: What I need you?
- 1:12:43Speaker 21: Now?
- 1:12:44Speaker 3: Do I think he could have just text her? Yeah,
- 1:12:46Speaker 3: but who knows, you know her temper.
- 1:12:48Speaker 1: I ain't gonna speak on Manchuleman one hundred percent. You
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. When your wife calls, you got
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: to pick up the phone. But I would give a
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: little pro tip to the brothers. If you're about to
- 1:12:56Speaker 1: do something like you know, if you you know, in
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: Gody's case, he was about to do it of you,
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: you gotta let your wife know what you're about to do.
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I mean, that's that's how
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: I get down. I'm like, Yo, I'm about to go
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: to such and such. I'm gonna be at such and such,
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: so she knows I'm doing something. So therefore, if she
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: does call me, I know it's an emergency. I know
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: it's something like she not she knows I'm doing something
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: For her to be calling me that means that it's
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: like an emergency. Now if in that case, God, he
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: probably forgot to tell Angela what he was gonna be at,
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: and so she was calling, so he decided to pick
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: up to let her know, Hey, man, I'm doing an interview.
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: I ain't on no bs R. You know because because
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: r R, if you don't answer, she might just get
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: concerned and get worried because she's like, damn he answered
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: for me any other time. Why you're not answering that?
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: So if you, if you, if you haven't let your
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: wife know where you're gonna be at, uh, definitely pick
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: up that phone.
- 1:13:43Speaker 2: Hello, who's this? Oh shit, good morning to talk to us.
- 1:13:47Speaker 2: What's your what's your thoughts?
- 1:13:49Speaker 19: Uh?
- 1:13:50Speaker 11: It's truth?
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: Ye broke anything?
- 1:13:59Speaker 7: You yes, because you can be in a conference. Let's
- 1:14:04Speaker 7: ask you to a conference.
- 1:14:06Speaker 12: You cannot answer the call.
- 1:14:07Speaker 1: That's not a Black people are amazed. Black people are
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: amazing because she going just sit there and act like
- 1:14:14Speaker 1: she couldn't understand anything that we just said and just
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: kept talking like it was like it was no, we
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: are really and amazing people.
- 1:14:21Speaker 2: Hello, what's your name? Mama?
- 1:14:25Speaker 12: To us, I was saying that they should have to
- 1:14:30Speaker 12: pick up the phone. I don't think it's that big
- 1:14:32Speaker 12: of a deal. It's like two minutes. I'm sure. I
- 1:14:34Speaker 12: think two people in a relationship, they no constitutes as
- 1:14:37Speaker 12: an emergency. That's when I was talking about this yesterday,
- 1:14:40Speaker 12: and it seemed kind of coincidental that I should call
- 1:14:43Speaker 12: during the interview, as if she doesn't know his schedule,
- 1:14:46Speaker 12: like it's a little.
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: Pr well, she might not have known if he didn't
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: tell her. You know what I'm saying, like, like that's
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: what I was saying earlier, like you got to tell
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: your wife I'm about to do X, Y and Z.
- 1:14:55Speaker 1: That's why if my wife knows I'm doing something and
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: she still calls me, that lets me know that it's
- 1:15:01Speaker 1: a serious situation.
- 1:15:02Speaker 2: Right, Or he's you know, obviously he's promoting his new
- 1:15:06Speaker 2: mixtape that's out right now, so he's on the road,
- 1:15:08Speaker 2: so he might be he's on the West coast. She
- 1:15:10Speaker 2: might be on the East coast, so that time.
- 1:15:12Speaker 1: Might be a little different, so she might not know. Hello,
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: who's this?
- 1:15:16Speaker 2: Hey marshaw?
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: Hey, you got the top down? Convertible down? Is something?
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: The windows open?
- 1:15:27Speaker 9: Oh?
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: Can you tell you why you're breathing so hard?
- 1:15:28Speaker 8: Man?
- 1:15:29Speaker 1: What's your thoughts. Should the man Should your man pick
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: up every time you call?
- 1:15:33Speaker 17: Of course, I mean, yeah, that's what I'm calling for
- 1:15:37Speaker 17: this Paul.
- 1:15:37Speaker 11: But I feel like if you're busy, if he's busy,
- 1:15:40Speaker 11: then just hit me back up because you see me calling,
- 1:15:44Speaker 11: so you know it's important.
- 1:15:45Speaker 14: True.
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: But if I tell you where I'm at, you know
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I'm trying to avoid you interrupting me
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: while I'm doing something.
- 1:15:53Speaker 2: Five eight five, one oh five one. If you're just
- 1:15:55Speaker 2: joining us, we're talking about yo got He was doing
- 1:15:57Speaker 2: an interview with La Leaks out in La in an interview.
- 1:16:01Speaker 2: This girl called and he stopped the interview, or in
- 1:16:03Speaker 2: the middle of the interview he entered the phone and
- 1:16:05Speaker 2: make sure everything was all right. Ladies, do you feel
- 1:16:07Speaker 2: all mentioned have this kind of energy, whether you're married
- 1:16:09Speaker 2: or dating, and do you feel like you should be
- 1:16:11Speaker 2: a priority regardless, let's talk about it.

- 1:16:50Speaker 1: what up?
- 1:16:53Speaker 6: I'm doing an interview right now.
- 1:16:55Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I'm telling you it was sure. The
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: only reason God he answered that phone is because he
- 1:17:02Speaker 1: didn't tell her where he was going to be at prior.
- 1:17:06Speaker 1: I'm telling you that's what that was for.
- 1:17:08Speaker 3: He didn't answer what she would have got suspicious.
- 1:17:10Speaker 1: I don't know if it was been suspicious, but maybe
- 1:17:11Speaker 1: just worried or concern, you know. I mean a lot
- 1:17:13Speaker 1: of times people think, you know, you're not you you're
- 1:17:17Speaker 1: answering the phone because you're trying to prove that you're
- 1:17:19Speaker 1: not doing anything. But no, that's just a worry, your concern.
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: Like I know, if I call my wife and she
- 1:17:24Speaker 1: don't pick up, I immediately think something's wrong, right, you
- 1:17:27Speaker 1: know what I mean, I don't got nothing to do
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: with you know, infidelity, But.
- 1:17:29Speaker 2: You know, even even my peoples, if they can't get
- 1:17:31Speaker 2: in touch with me for whatever reason, They'll call my
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: wife to call me because they know even if my
- 1:17:35Speaker 2: phone's on vibrate, the phone will ring.
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: So if I'm out of town and I got to
- 1:17:38Speaker 1: get up. What you say vibrate? Man, I just wanted
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: to tell you that since you've been saying vibrate since

- 1:17:49Speaker 1: That's is a personal thing. You know what, I'm gonna

- 1:20:39Speaker 11: Good morning?
- 1:20:40Speaker 7: This Taqisa?
- 1:20:40Speaker 2: Hey, Takeisha talk to us. What's your thoughts? Mama?
- 1:20:43Speaker 15: Okay, So every man is not yo Gotti.
- 1:20:46Speaker 12: Everybody's not going to answer their phone.
- 1:20:49Speaker 11: But everybody's what they're doing, and that's okay.
- 1:20:52Speaker 3: Are you offended if they text you back or they
- 1:20:54Speaker 3: absolutely have to answer the phone.
- 1:20:56Speaker 7: No, No, seriously, because I'm a different type of First,
- 1:21:00Speaker 7: I just got to argue with my friends.
- 1:21:02Speaker 15: I don't answer my phone.
- 1:21:03Speaker 26: It's my phone.
- 1:21:05Speaker 8: Well, I don't have to.
- 1:21:06Speaker 1: I want to every time you get answer the phone.
- 1:21:10Speaker 11: That's a piece of mind.
- 1:21:12Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know what, not every time you can
- 1:21:13Speaker 2: answer the phone, because sometimes I can't answer the phone
- 1:21:15Speaker 2: and I'll text, hey baby, I'm in an interview. I'll
- 1:21:17Speaker 2: call you right back and everything good. So yes, I
- 1:21:19Speaker 2: can't answer the phone every single time, but it's just
- 1:21:21Speaker 2: that the priority to make sure you're checking in and
- 1:21:23Speaker 2: everything is okay.
- 1:21:24Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:21:25Speaker 7: Yeah, and that's cool too, but it's not.
- 1:21:27Speaker 25: There's no reason to.
- 1:21:29Speaker 11: I just didn't understand the.
- 1:21:30Speaker 7: Big praise about it.
- 1:21:32Speaker 12: Okay, answer, that's nice, that's good.
- 1:21:35Speaker 15: Not everybody knows, honey, and not everybody got Angelo calling us.
- 1:21:38Speaker 1: So I don't think you got nothing to do with
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: who the person.
- 1:21:43Speaker 7: I knew you was gonna say something.
- 1:21:44Speaker 11: I'm not talking about who the person is.
- 1:21:47Speaker 12: I'm talking about the fact of how she responded.
- 1:21:49Speaker 11: Not everybody's gonna respond the same way that he do.
- 1:21:53Speaker 1: I just that's what I mean.
- 1:21:55Speaker 8: You don't have call.
- 1:21:56Speaker 1: I just think common courtesy. You know, when you're in
- 1:21:59Speaker 1: a relationship, whether you're married or just in a relationship,
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: if y'all serious, you let your significant other know where
- 1:22:04Speaker 1: you're going. You let them know where you're going to
- 1:22:06Speaker 1: be and what you're going to be doing, you know
- 1:22:07Speaker 1: what I mean. So therefore, if they do call me,
- 1:22:11Speaker 1: they I know it's something, it's some type of an
- 1:22:13Speaker 1: emergency because they wouldn't be calling me because I just
- 1:22:15Speaker 1: told them I'm doing something, you know.
- 1:22:17Speaker 15: True.
- 1:22:18Speaker 1: But yeah, he forgot the other. He didn't tell her. Clearly,
- 1:22:23Speaker 1: you didn't let her know he was doing.
- 1:22:24Speaker 2: Something, Thank you, mama. What's what's the moral of the
- 1:22:26Speaker 2: story if there's more?
- 1:22:27Speaker 1: The more of the stories is just a respect thing,
- 1:22:29Speaker 1: like guess that's all. Like, if you respect your significant other,
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: that's easy. Like and and by the way, I think
- 1:22:34Speaker 1: you should answer the phone for your significant other anytime,
- 1:22:37Speaker 1: you know whatever. If my my wife called me, I
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: stop what I do and pick up the phone, because
- 1:22:42Speaker 1: that's that's what I want for her to do. You know.
- 1:22:45Speaker 2: All right, Well we got rooms on the way.
- 1:22:46Speaker 3: But we're talking about Yes, we're talking about the twenty
- 1:22:48Speaker 3: twenty three VMA's nominations came out. They broke a lot
- 1:22:50Speaker 3: of records and then also see her and Russell Wilson.
- 1:22:53Speaker 3: They added another baby to the tribe coming soon.
- 1:22:57Speaker 2: Really, we'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club.
- 1:22:59Speaker 2: Come morning, the Breakfast Club.
- 1:23:04Speaker 1: Morning.
- 1:23:04Speaker 2: Everybody's dj n V Charlamagne the guy. We are the

- 1:23:51Speaker 15: To the.
- 1:23:53Speaker 3: Also a lot of big records being broken at this
- 1:23:55Speaker 3: year's twenty twenty three vm AS. The nominations are out now.
- 1:23:58Speaker 3: Taylor Swift leads the pack with a eight nominations. Scizzle
- 1:24:01Speaker 3: comes in second with six. You got Doja Cat and
- 1:24:04Speaker 3: Nikki There follow up with five, and women are actually
- 1:24:07Speaker 3: dominating the show because it's the first time ever that
- 1:24:09Speaker 3: there are no men nominated for Artists of the Year
- 1:24:12Speaker 3: that's introduced in twenty seventeen. You got Beyonce, Dojakat, Carol G, Nicki, Minaj, Shakira,
- 1:24:17Speaker 3: and Taylor Swift are nominated. Some feel Sissle was sliding debatable,
- 1:24:21Speaker 3: that's true, but the first last year, just it's a
- 1:24:25Speaker 3: Artist of the Year, it doesn't matter, Yeah, if they
- 1:24:27Speaker 3: came out, but this is the first time too. Artists
- 1:24:30Speaker 3: in the category come from the Latin genre, which is
- 1:24:32Speaker 3: Carol G and Shakira, and the first time they have
- 1:24:34Speaker 3: an afrobeats category. So the twenty twenty three VMAs are
- 1:24:38Speaker 3: going to be held on Tuesday, September twelfth, live from
- 1:24:40Speaker 3: the Prudential Center in Newark. And also, while we're talking
- 1:24:43Speaker 3: about nominations, I gotta shout out to y'all because y'all
- 1:24:46Speaker 3: got awards for being recognized on Billboard's twenty twenty three
- 1:24:49Speaker 3: Hip Hop and R and B Powers Players List. Congrats
- 1:24:53Speaker 3: to y'all, Y'all's well as yee Fia Bosston then Doc Winner.
- 1:24:58Speaker 1: Are also on there, and also to the MTV Awards.
- 1:25:02Speaker 1: That is definitely a reflection of how the year has
- 1:25:03Speaker 1: been because the year hasn't been dominated musically women women.
- 1:25:08Speaker 1: Let the record show up. That was a category and
- 1:25:09Speaker 1: it was all men. People would be raising healthy and
- 1:25:11Speaker 1: there needs to be more diversity. I mean it is diverse,
- 1:25:16Speaker 1: so I think you know penises, well, you know what,
- 1:25:18Speaker 1: I don't know what they identify.
- 1:25:20Speaker 2: Shut your ass out, you don't know, shut yours up.
- 1:25:23Speaker 2: I think what what dude should be in that category.
- 1:25:27Speaker 1: This year year? Probably Dark is probably the person that
- 1:25:31Speaker 1: the line from me. Okay, I think Dirk has had
- 1:25:33Speaker 1: a good year about Travis, but his album just It
- 1:25:36Speaker 1: just came out. Zy Derek and Oz is just two
- 1:25:40Speaker 1: that come to mind that could be an Artist of
- 1:25:42Speaker 1: the Year.
- 1:25:42Speaker 3: Is it too many times for Drake to be nominated?
- 1:25:45Speaker 2: Drake could be nominated.
- 1:25:46Speaker 3: I feel like every year is D's.
- 1:25:48Speaker 2: To sold out to drop the album twenty one Savage
- 1:25:51Speaker 2: came Savage Ye. Drake should be in the Drake should
- 1:25:53Speaker 2: definitely right, that Drake should being there sold out shows yeah,
- 1:25:57Speaker 2: right now right?
- 1:25:58Speaker 3: Well, last, but not least on Twitter. Uh, it was
- 1:26:01Speaker 3: trending us to that The Reason and td E co
- 1:26:03Speaker 3: president got into a heated exchange publicly. So he was
- 1:26:06Speaker 3: on the back on fig discussing his issues with td E.
- 1:26:08Speaker 3: We have some audio.
- 1:26:10Speaker 26: Agree you want to have a combo. Let's have a conbo. Man,
- 1:26:13Speaker 26: it sounds like you don't want to be here.
- 1:26:15Speaker 14: Damn near Nah.
- 1:26:16Speaker 1: I never said that. I said I would never do it.
- 1:26:17Speaker 1: No other way. Let's go viral. Since you want to
- 1:26:19Speaker 1: do it, come on a.
- 1:26:20Speaker 7: Real Can you name me ten Reason songs right now?
- 1:26:23Speaker 1: You're from l A. You an l A native?
- 1:26:25Speaker 26: Can you name me ten Reason songs right now?
- 1:26:28Speaker 4: No?
- 1:26:28Speaker 1: Why is it? I have no.
- 1:26:32Speaker 14: Matt you from the team.
- 1:26:34Speaker 1: Can you name me? Can you name me two Reason songs?
- 1:26:37Speaker 1: Of course? But what I'm trying to say is right,
- 1:26:43Speaker 1: they've never.
- 1:26:44Speaker 26: Wanted us to sign signed reason. He called him a
- 1:26:47Speaker 26: substitute teacher.
- 1:26:48Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 1:26:49Speaker 15: I don't.
- 1:26:52Speaker 26: Talent, but it's gonna take more than just talent in
- 1:26:54Speaker 26: this game right now, and everybody know that.
- 1:26:57Speaker 3: So basically the backstory is reason felt like the label
- 1:26:59Speaker 3: wasn't moving quick enough, and we've heard the story before
- 1:27:01Speaker 3: with Scissa and TDE. He shared that he had the
- 1:27:04Speaker 3: opportunity to get features from Lotto and EStG, but td
- 1:27:07Speaker 3: E didn't handle business on their end, So he's claiming
- 1:27:10Speaker 3: that td is limiting his success and progression as an
- 1:27:12Speaker 3: artist by not letting him drop music. And he also
- 1:27:15Speaker 3: mentioned that they had the budgets and they had the ideas,
- 1:27:18Speaker 3: but nothing was executed.
- 1:27:19Speaker 1: So most of our audience wants to know the reason
- 1:27:21Speaker 1: we just played that because they have no idea who
- 1:27:23Speaker 1: reason it is Red And I like reason. I like
- 1:27:29Speaker 1: reading's music a lot. The reason I think I think
- 1:27:30Speaker 1: you might be up here next week. Actually yeah, yeah,
- 1:27:32Speaker 1: But I just know a lot of our listeners have
- 1:27:34Speaker 1: no idea who the hell he is, So I mean
- 1:27:35Speaker 1: it is I don't know whose fault that is. Yeah,
- 1:27:38Speaker 1: I don't know if it's TDS or reasons. I don't
- 1:27:41Speaker 1: think it's ever anybody's fault when an artist isn't heard.
- 1:27:43Speaker 1: We have the Internet, you have all of these platforms.
- 1:27:47Speaker 1: There's a million different ways to be heard. If the
- 1:27:49Speaker 1: consumer isn't gravitating towards you, I don't like when people
- 1:27:52Speaker 1: just blame the label, it just might not be your
- 1:27:54Speaker 1: time yet. Just keep me in case.
- 1:27:56Speaker 2: It might not be that song, it might not be
- 1:27:57Speaker 2: that situation, might not.
- 1:27:58Speaker 1: Be that project. That's right.
- 1:28:00Speaker 3: But I'm assuming he's also frustrated because he's not getting feedback.
- 1:28:04Speaker 3: They're just like, not, don't drop, don't drop. When Sissa
- 1:28:06Speaker 3: was going on her Twitter ramp but she couldn't dropped,
- 1:28:08Speaker 3: she said the same thing that they weren't telling her.
- 1:28:10Speaker 3: Why they just said no, don't drop on drop.
- 1:28:12Speaker 1: Well, the reason I would always listen to a label
- 1:28:15Speaker 1: like TD is because when they finally do put an
- 1:28:19Speaker 1: artist out and get behind the artist, artists usually ghost. Sissa,
- 1:28:22Speaker 1: I mean, look at don't you. Don't you about to
- 1:28:24Speaker 1: go right now? She's going, don't you You know what
- 1:28:26Speaker 1: I mean? Things take time? That's all all right?
- 1:28:30Speaker 2: All right, well that is your room or report. Now
- 1:28:32Speaker 2: let's get into the People's choice mixed eight hundred five
- 1:28:34Speaker 2: eighty five one five And of course the roots in
- 1:28:36Speaker 2: LL stopped through early, so let's start the mix off
- 1:28:38Speaker 2: for some ll uh. It's of course it's fifty years

- 1:31:23Speaker 3: percent of the truth. So I'm trying to come up
