• 1:33
  Speaker 2: feel great. You know, this is a great week.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: And the reason this is a great week because number
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: one of the NFL is back, right, So it was
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: the NFL Week two regardless of how your team, regardless
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: if your team sucks, okay, like mine, Dallas Cowboys.
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: But that disclaimer had to come, didn't it?
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Which team?
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: What's your what? You was you Pitchberger Baltimore this year
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Ravens and you know not this year? They lost last week?
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: They did.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Look that was a terrible No, it.
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: Wasn't a terrible laws.
• 1:56
  Speaker 7: It was just stupid.
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: They always do dumb stuff like it. They always do that.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Though I was up in the four but like four touchdowns,
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: that's like that was insane. But Terrence Crawford and Canelo
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Avares this Saturday man dropping the clues bombs of Terns,
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Crawt and Canelo Avares not enough hype around this fight
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: for me. But I didn't think it would be. And
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: the only reason I didn't think it would be is
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: just simply because, like you know, Connelo is super popular
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: in the Mexican world, Terrence Crawford is not as popular.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Unless you're a boxing fan, you know it's gonna be
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: a It should be an amazing fight. I don't know,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: it's a pick me for me. I know that sounds
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: crazy because the boxer, the boxing fan of me, says
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: it should be Canelo Avarez. But you going I'm going
• 2:36

• 4:47
  Speaker 8: All right, well, let's get the show crack and we
• 4:48
  Speaker 8: got front page news. Me will be joining us next
• 4:50
  Speaker 8: to the breakfast club. Good morning, let's get in some
• 4:52
  Speaker 8: front page news.
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: Good morning me, Good morning everyone.
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: How y'all doing, Good morning, you look good well, thank you, jess.
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: I hope you feel better, Thank you girl, thank you.
• 5:05
  Speaker 9: All right, well, we start this morning with who draws
• 5:08
  Speaker 9: the line and who gets to keep the power. Politicians
• 5:11
  Speaker 9: in several states are rushing to redo congressional maps before
• 5:15
  Speaker 9: twenty twenty six, but voters they are not buying it.
• 5:18
  Speaker 9: An NBC poll shows most Americans want independent commissions, not
• 5:22
  Speaker 9: parties who are in charge redrawing the maps.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 5:25
  Speaker 9: This all began in Texas, where Republicans back by President Trump,
• 5:29
  Speaker 9: pushed a mid decade map to lock in more House seats.
• 5:33
  Speaker 9: Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed it into law last week.
• 5:36
  Speaker 9: Civil rights group they sued immediately, saying it dilutes the
• 5:39
  Speaker 9: Black and Latino votes Democrats in California they're also pushing
• 5:44
  Speaker 9: a Newsome backed November ballot measure that, if other states
• 5:47
  Speaker 9: keep redrawing, would temporarily let lawmakers replace the state's independent map.
• 5:52
  Speaker 9: Republicans have already sued to block that. And in Missouri,
• 5:56
  Speaker 9: GOP leaders advance a mid cycle map that deeply splits
• 6:01
  Speaker 9: Kansas City and puts longtime Democratic Congressman Emmanuel Cleaver at risk.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: And now Utah is jumping in jumping in.
• 6:09
  Speaker 9: A judge there said lawmakers blue pass voter approved anti
• 6:13
  Speaker 9: jerrymanderin rules and ordered a new map before the midterm. So,
• 6:17
  Speaker 9: in other words, voters said guardrails, lawmakers went around them,
• 6:20
  Speaker 9: and now the court is forcing a redo that would
• 6:23
  Speaker 9: keep more of Salt Lake City together and make one
• 6:26
  Speaker 9: district competitive at least now. Appials there are also pending,
• 6:30
  Speaker 9: but the clock is ticking. They have a September twenty
• 6:32
  Speaker 9: fifth deadline to look at that. Now, all of this
• 6:35
  Speaker 9: brings us back to Texas, the state that helped kick
• 6:38
  Speaker 9: this off, which is home to some of the nation's
• 6:40
  Speaker 9: largest black communities, and how those lines are drawn will
• 6:43
  Speaker 9: decide who's heard and who's pushed into the margins. Congresswoman
• 6:47
  Speaker 9: Jasmine Crockett, she spoke earlier this week about those maps
• 6:50
  Speaker 9: and what this now means.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: Let's listen to that these maps.
• 6:54
  Speaker 10: Racist, the fact that they are trying to silence black
• 6:57
  Speaker 10: and minority voters in a majority minority state racist. I
• 7:02
  Speaker 10: want to give y'all some numbers because I don't think
• 7:05
  Speaker 10: this y'all fully understand how bad this is. Texas, number one,
• 7:09
  Speaker 10: has more African Americans than any other state in this country.
• 7:13
  Speaker 10: Right now, under the proposed maps they want to make
• 7:17
  Speaker 10: it to wear, Texas only has two districts in which
• 7:20
  Speaker 10: African Americans have an opportunity to choose their representation.
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: What does that mean for black voices in Texas?
• 7:27
  Speaker 10: That means that it is approximately one fit the voting
• 7:32
  Speaker 10: strength of their white Texan neighbors.
• 7:37
  Speaker 9: So expect court fights, ballot measures, and confusion over who
• 7:41
  Speaker 9: represents too. But the NBC poll is very clear that
• 7:44
  Speaker 9: eighty two percent of people they want neutral lines from
• 7:48
  Speaker 9: They don't want party lines to be drawn based on
• 7:51
  Speaker 9: if you're Republican or Democrat. And so now to Capitol Hill,
• 7:54
  Speaker 9: where GOP leaders are facing a showdown over healthcare. Speaker
• 7:58
  Speaker 9: Mike Johnson is under growing pressure from within.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: His own party to extend the.
• 8:03
  Speaker 9: Affordable Care Act tax credits before they expire at the
• 8:07
  Speaker 9: end of the year. So far, eleven Republicans, many from
• 8:10
  Speaker 9: competitive districts, have signed onto a bill that would keep
• 8:14
  Speaker 9: the subsidies in place for another year. Without action, millions
• 8:18
  Speaker 9: of Americans could see their health insurance premiums jump by
• 8:22
  Speaker 9: an average of eighteen percent by January first. This puts
• 8:26
  Speaker 9: Republicans in a tough spot because for years the party
• 8:29
  Speaker 9: has spot against Obamacare, but now with more than twenty
• 8:32
  Speaker 9: four million people enrolled in marketplace plans and more than
• 8:36
  Speaker 9: ninety percent relying on these subsidies, letting them expire could
• 8:40
  Speaker 9: spark political backlash, and so some lawmakers want to fold
• 8:44
  Speaker 9: this into an extension into this month's government funding deal,
• 8:48
  Speaker 9: but Speaker Mike Johnson he hasn't committed, but he does
• 8:51
  Speaker 9: say there are quote thoughtful conversations happening, but says there's
• 8:55
  Speaker 9: a lot of opposition.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: Meanwhile, Democrats they're.
• 8:57
  Speaker 9: Drawing a red line warning they will not so any
• 9:00
  Speaker 9: budget deal that lets benefits slaps.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: They argue that without.
• 9:04
  Speaker 9: Action, millions of people will lose coverage while everyone else
• 9:08
  Speaker 9: will pay higher premium, So that fight is far from over.
• 9:12
  Speaker 9: Senate Republicans say they want to compromise, possibly by tightening
• 9:16
  Speaker 9: eligibility requirements rather than eliminating those credits altogether. But with
• 9:20
  Speaker 9: the government funding deadline looming and election season coming up,
• 9:24
  Speaker 9: both parties are under pressure to act or face some
• 9:26
  Speaker 9: political fallout.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just don't understand how you sit around thinking
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: on how to make people's life worse, Like it should
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: be an easy call to extend the Affordable you know,
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: Care Act, Like this should be an easy call, Like
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: it makes people's lives better, Like why would you, why
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: do you? Why would you want to cut people's health
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: care in any way, shape or form.
• 9:45
  Speaker 9: But now it's just it's the principle because Republicans have
• 9:48
  Speaker 9: fought for so long against Obamacare that now is just
• 9:51
  Speaker 9: like they don't want to do it, even though millions
• 9:53
  Speaker 9: of Americans are on it and they need it and
• 9:56
  Speaker 9: they will lose their health care.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: So a lot of people are writing and calling.
• 10:01
  Speaker 9: Into their senators and their congressman and you know, making
• 10:04
  Speaker 9: sure that that is folded into the government shutdown bill.
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: So we'll see, Charlotte, what happens.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Well, maybe if Republicans just start calling it the Affordable
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Care Act and stop calling it Obamacare and understand that,
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: you know, their constituents and people that voted for them
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: also benefit from this, because that's what government should be about, right.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: It shouldn't matter who you know what party right, what
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: party implemented?
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: What's to people?
• 10:26
  Speaker 11: Right?
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: It shouldn't matter what party implemented, what what politician implemented.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: What if it helps the American people, that should be
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: what we care about.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: That's right?
• 10:33
  Speaker 8: All right, Well that is front page news, all right,

  Speaker 3: What's his name?
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Law Nation Sport, Law Nation Sport. All Right'm gonna check
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: it out, all right, love you? Hello, who's this?
• 13:26
  Speaker 13: This is Tracy?
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Hey, Tracy, good morning, Get it off your chest, Tracy.
• 13:30
  Speaker 13: First, Good morning everybody. Thank you for everything that you're doing.
• 13:35
  Speaker 13: The thing that's getting.
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: On my nerves this morning.
• 13:37
  Speaker 13: As the mother of four blessed black and highly favored children,
• 13:41
  Speaker 13: I'm frustrated about this new law that was passed about
• 13:44
  Speaker 13: them taking the cell phones away from kids. I don't
• 13:47
  Speaker 13: think that they fully thought about the safety ramifications of
• 13:50
  Speaker 13: this because with the active shooters and all the shootings
• 13:54
  Speaker 13: that go on, who was calling the police? Most of
• 13:57
  Speaker 13: the time it's the kids with the phones.
• 14:00
  Speaker 11: So you know, when you.
• 14:02
  Speaker 13: Have kids away from their parents and they have no
• 14:04
  Speaker 13: way to get in touch if something happens.
• 14:07
  Speaker 11: Like, nobody thought about that.
• 14:08
  Speaker 13: I mean even at a comedy show, they fall aways
• 14:11
  Speaker 13: to effectively let people keep their phones without taking them away.
• 14:14
  Speaker 11: Now I live in Utica. Just this week they lost
• 14:17
  Speaker 11: I don't.
• 14:18
  Speaker 13: Know how many phones and the lines for the kids
• 14:20
  Speaker 13: to pick up their phones after school with a nightmare.
• 14:22
  Speaker 13: So I really wish that they had thought about this
• 14:24
  Speaker 13: better or think of a better solution to get this thing.
• 14:27
  Speaker 13: So I understand the reasoning why they did it, but
• 14:30
  Speaker 13: I just think that it's putting the kids more at
• 14:32
  Speaker 13: harm than helping.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: They won't let the kids just keep it in their
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: book bag without using them.
• 14:36
  Speaker 11: No.
• 14:37
  Speaker 13: Now, different schools have an acted it in different ways.
• 14:40
  Speaker 13: I know that one of my friends, she said that
• 14:42
  Speaker 13: their school lets the kids keep them in pouches like
• 14:44
  Speaker 13: they do with the comedy show. When they take them
• 14:46
  Speaker 13: and they lock them up and I guess the teacher
• 14:48
  Speaker 13: can open it whenever they're leaving. But the school, in
• 14:51
  Speaker 13: the high school in Utica, they take their phones all
• 14:54
  Speaker 13: together and then there's a gridlock at the end of
• 14:57
  Speaker 13: the day for the kids trying to get their phones.
• 14:58
  Speaker 13: In the first week of school, I was told by
• 15:00
  Speaker 13: my friends that the line to get their phones were
• 15:04
  Speaker 13: so long kids were missing their bust.
• 15:06
  Speaker 11: It was like forty five minutes.
• 15:07
  Speaker 13: Some of the kids couldn't even get their phones back.
• 15:09
  Speaker 13: It's crazy.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: I do think that they should restrict student cell phone used,
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: but I agree with like the pouches and if you
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: pull it out, you know, during during class, then it
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: should be some tey you know, I don't think that
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: they should take it and like put it in the
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: desk and everybody got to try to get it afterwards.
• 15:24
  Speaker 8: The pouches is difficult too, because with the pouches you
• 15:27
  Speaker 8: usually you have to wait to outside and they got
• 15:29
  Speaker 8: to scan something to get the pouches open. It should
• 15:31
  Speaker 8: be yeah, to keep your phones, it has to be
• 15:33
  Speaker 8: in your book bag. If it's not in your book bag,
• 15:34
  Speaker 8: you get an attention.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: And all my tings exactly, and that's what I keep their.
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: Phones in their book bags and they know that, you know,
• 15:40
  Speaker 8: they can only pull it out after class or after school.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: I should say, but yeah, we can't write, we can't
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: sit here.
• 15:45
  Speaker 13: No.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: People.
• 15:46
  Speaker 13: There were people that were saying, well, when we were younger,
• 15:49
  Speaker 13: we did we didn't have to do all that I said.
• 15:51
  Speaker 13: But you know what we also didn't have. We didn't
• 15:53
  Speaker 13: have active shooter drills either.
• 15:55
  Speaker 11: That is so if you if you can put these.
• 15:57
  Speaker 13: Kids through these active shooter drills, you you can do
• 16:00
  Speaker 13: the same. Drusy showed them an effective way to be
• 16:02
  Speaker 13: able to.
• 16:02
  Speaker 11: Keep their phones, you know.
• 16:03
  Speaker 13: And again, like you said, if somebody is violating, then
• 16:06
  Speaker 13: take their phone. But I mean to put a whole.
• 16:09
  Speaker 11: School in a rip.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: But we do, But we do. We got to admit that.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: You know, phones are a big distraction for these kids.
• 16:17
  Speaker 13: They are, but at what point do you teach them
• 16:20
  Speaker 13: personal responsibility? My kids, my kids would have been worried about,
• 16:24
  Speaker 13: Oh my god, if I get caught with their phone
• 16:26
  Speaker 13: and they got to call my mother, you know what
• 16:29
  Speaker 13: I'm saying. They would have been more worried about that.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: And by the way, it's not like we were not
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: capable because even when we were in school, like we
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: couldn't have beepers and stuff, like if you got called
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: with at least when South Carolina you got called with
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: the people, you would attention, You would get detention, you
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: might get is so you know, even though a lot
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: of kids would bring their beepers and stuff, anyway, we
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: knew how to keep them hitting back.
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: When Logan was a freshman in high school, there was
• 16:50
  Speaker 8: a robbery across the street and the guy ran across
• 16:52
  Speaker 8: the school property and they shut the school down and
• 16:55
  Speaker 8: they didn't tell any of theppearance. But Logan had it
• 16:57
  Speaker 8: cell phone and was able to call and say, this
• 16:59
  Speaker 8: is what's happening. And I think God, because you a parent,
• 17:01
  Speaker 8: you outside you don't know what's going on. They shut
• 17:03
  Speaker 8: there trying to run.
• 17:04
  Speaker 13: And then and there was the stabbing at the middle
• 17:07
  Speaker 13: school across town from the high school just yesterday. So
• 17:10
  Speaker 13: I'm like, Okay, I wonder who called that.
• 17:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you're right, well I would tell my kids to
• 17:14
  Speaker 8: keep it in their backpack, don't say nothing, don't pull
• 17:16
  Speaker 8: it out in BacT school.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: And you know, if he gets called them to call
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: it their mom.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: I like, I like that idea because because because like
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: you said, it gives it teaches them personal responsibility.
• 17:24
  Speaker 13: Thank you, thank you.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: And they got to be They got to be accountable
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: for that, that's right, for that, for their phone or
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: violating that phone room that's in the classroom.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Get it off your chest.
• 17:33
  Speaker 8: Eight hundred and five eight five, one oh five one.
• 17:35

  Speaker 2: Them though, like you take care of mommy and Dady

  Speaker 2: Madison Guy, Yeah, Madison Man.
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah.
• 19:29
  Speaker 14: Well, I mean I thought that this was an interesting
• 19:31
  Speaker 14: conversation because you know that there have been those rumors
• 19:34
  Speaker 14: that Carti is pregnant or she's not pregnant. So hearing
• 19:36
  Speaker 14: that she's open to more kids, uh, you know, it's
• 19:38
  Speaker 14: definitely things. She also talked about the fact that she
• 19:41
  Speaker 14: doesn't she doesn't even have room at this point to
• 19:42
  Speaker 14: get more kids tattooed. So she does have more, she's
• 19:45
  Speaker 14: gonna have to figure out where the kids are gonna go.
• 19:47
  Speaker 14: But at the same time, in La Offset was at
• 19:50
  Speaker 14: the airport, he was at LAX and TMZ ran into
• 19:53
  Speaker 14: him and asked him about because you know, Cardi is
• 19:55
  Speaker 14: promoting am I the Drama and he's running around promoting
• 19:58
  Speaker 14: his album Kiri as well. Now off set, Yeah, Offset
• 20:02
  Speaker 14: was asked by TMZ if there's competition between him and
• 20:05
  Speaker 14: Cardi because both of the albums are are going to
• 20:08
  Speaker 14: be or his is good and hers is predicted to
• 20:09
  Speaker 14: be really well, let's take a listen.
• 20:11
  Speaker 15: Hey, yeah, your kid's gonna have both their parents nominated
• 20:14
  Speaker 15: for Album.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Of the Year for sure.
• 20:16
  Speaker 15: That's just that's crazy. You guys gonna go up against
• 20:20
  Speaker 15: each other. Maybe no, but maybe you're never right.
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: You all piece off for us to win, everybody gotta win.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: You got kid say yeah, we got.
• 20:28
  Speaker 15: Touched the totally so Lason, you're gonna support her album
• 20:32
  Speaker 15: in some way for sure.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: She's gonna do a big one too.
• 20:35
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 20:35
  Speaker 15: I love to hear it, man, Hey, and thank you
• 20:37
  Speaker 15: for your time.
• 20:38
  Speaker 7: You're real good dude.
• 20:38
  Speaker 11: Man.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: I appreciate you dropping the glue bum for offsets. Yeah,
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: the dodging that messy, nasty ass question. That person who's
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: trying to trying to trying to.
• 20:48
  Speaker 14: Present shout out to Charlie over that's Charlie from TMZ
• 20:51
  Speaker 14: that is the iz over there.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: But Charlie's writ in theory, I think both of them
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: could be up for Album of the Year because their
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: albums came out in the same year. But he knew
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: what he was trying to do.
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, one hundred percent.
• 21:01
  Speaker 14: But I will say too, shout out the Offset because
• 21:02
  Speaker 14: I think over this press rollout of his album and
• 21:06
  Speaker 14: just some of the things we've seen will go through
• 21:07
  Speaker 14: publicly with their divorce situation. He's learned how to have
• 21:11
  Speaker 14: conversations about what they're going through in the media from
• 21:13
  Speaker 14: the beginning of when we saw them, So now there
• 21:16
  Speaker 14: was so much growth in that answer. But speaking of Offset,
• 21:19
  Speaker 14: so we remember we were talking a lot about why
• 21:21
  Speaker 14: Offset and JEDD's Bodies has not been getting the push
• 21:25
  Speaker 14: that we think it should get. So they were on
• 21:28
  Speaker 14: filin yesterday and they performed and Drowning Pool, the band
• 21:32
  Speaker 14: that originally did Bodies, perform with them.
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: Let's take a listen to that.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:37
  Speaker 14: Yes, I didn't really know much about the original song
• 21:40
  Speaker 14: that was sampled. I learned that because of this performance.
• 21:42
  Speaker 14: But I was watching this interview with Jedd. He was
• 21:44
  Speaker 14: talking about how the composition of that song is like
• 21:47
  Speaker 14: one of his favorite that he's ever wrapped over.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: He killed it.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he record two individuals who did not get the
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: proper promotion for their albums, Jid and Offset.
• 21:57
  Speaker 14: What are making the stops now? Seems like with that
• 22:00
  Speaker 14: was a great performance.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's been a week since their album came out.
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: You're right, you're right, you're right.
• 22:07
  Speaker 14: Well, speaking of album promotion, you guys have been seeing
• 22:10
  Speaker 14: Carti and all the promotions she's been doing.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: So people are taking it back.
• 22:13
  Speaker 8: She's taking it back to the essence of when people
• 22:16
  Speaker 8: used to run around and really really push.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: We gotta stop doing this. What's that.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: We gotta stop praising people for doing what they're supposed
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: to do. Yes, I understand what you could. We did
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: the same thing with the Clips. Clips had such a
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: genius rollout, and we're doing the same thing with Cardy.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: Carti's having a genius rollout. No, she's actually doing a rollout, correct.
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: But here's the thing.
• 22:34
  Speaker 8: The rollout stop right because budget stats people stop putting
• 22:36
  Speaker 8: money into marketing and they started doing let's just do
• 22:39
  Speaker 8: a TikTok dance and that'll sell it. But I think
• 22:41
  Speaker 8: these artists are going back to what makes sense talking
• 22:43
  Speaker 8: to their I don't know if yes, you need a budget,
• 22:46
  Speaker 8: but also you know, it don't really cost to go
• 22:48
  Speaker 8: do media, don't really cost to do press, It don't
• 22:50
  Speaker 8: really cost to do promo video order.
• 22:52
  Speaker 14: Lean into just what your audience knows. You ays, because
• 22:54
  Speaker 14: what Carti has been doing, she it looks like you
• 22:56
  Speaker 14: could eve shoot that with the iPhone. It looks like
• 22:57
  Speaker 14: she's shooting you with the iPhone. So Cardi b you
• 23:00
  Speaker 14: guys have not seen it has been like we know
• 23:02
  Speaker 14: her for like the skits, and you know that the personality.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Loss money to move Cardy around.
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: It does.
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: Don't give me around with Lawrence, but you know she is.
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: I mean, she's doing skits.
• 23:12
  Speaker 14: She so like the last one she just did. She
• 23:13
  Speaker 14: talked about the budget. It does take money to move
• 23:15
  Speaker 14: her around. But what I'm saying is you can pull
• 23:17
  Speaker 14: out a phone and speak to your audience the way
• 23:19
  Speaker 14: they're used to hearing you.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: So they look pull up on the block and on
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: the side.
• 23:23
  Speaker 8: Yes, but she's also going to Hoiston, She's going to
• 23:25
  Speaker 8: la she going to Atlanta, She's in Long Island, She's
• 23:28
  Speaker 8: in She's flying all over the place.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: And Cardi don't.
• 23:30
  Speaker 14: Fly commercially, No, no, no, but I'm not talking about
• 23:32
  Speaker 14: that part of I'm talking about the piece that's promoting,
• 23:33
  Speaker 14: like the vehicle that's promoting it, she said. She jokingly
• 23:36
  Speaker 14: posted a video saying that Atlantic only gave her fifty
• 23:38
  Speaker 14: dollars for the rollout, so that's why she's been doing this,
• 23:40
  Speaker 14: and the we have the audio of her right just.
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: I think that. I mean, she's being funny, but there.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Was the.
• 23:47
  Speaker 14: Just like they only really gave her fifty No, no, Charlotte,
• 23:52
  Speaker 14: if this is Cardi B.
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: They don't. They just had that whole article with them
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: talking about how.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: They was gonna be spending no money. But continue, I.
• 23:58
  Speaker 14: Was just gonna play the audio from when she had
• 23:59
  Speaker 14: this laid out. I think she was up telling Harlem
• 24:01
  Speaker 14: she had to see these later on the ground. The
• 24:02
  Speaker 14: sick Listen, what if.
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: Y'all be y'all stable?
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Is that the exclusive party B you album with selling
• 24:08

• 24:13
  Speaker 6: This ninety nine ninety nine.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: And I think what she's doing that's dope.
• 24:21
  Speaker 8: And she's making she's getting physical copies right because it
• 24:24
  Speaker 8: makes people feel special.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: It's no disrespect. You can download a record or you
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: can stream a.
• 24:28
  Speaker 8: Record, but the fact I got a CD and it's
• 24:30
  Speaker 8: signed by Cardi B, I could get a chance to
• 24:32
  Speaker 8: take a picture. I got vinyl and it's signed by
• 24:34
  Speaker 8: Cardi B. I think that even makes it even more special.
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: And it's affordable. It's nine ninety nine. I love that.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: I'm just happy as a rollout because people don't promote
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: their stuff outside of social media correct Like literally, they're
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: like posting on Instagram, posting on the Twitter, post it
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: on their TikTok, and that's it. I am just happy
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: that it is an actual rollout, that she is actually
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: out there promoting her album telling people to go by it.
• 24:55
  Speaker 14: That's so crazy because rollouts used to look forward to
• 24:58
  Speaker 14: see what the rollout with and now it's it's like
• 25:00
  Speaker 14: Carty has always been consistent with having rollouts for her
• 25:03
  Speaker 14: big projects, but I mean her last album too. But
• 25:05
  Speaker 14: it's just crazy that we like have to like be like,
• 25:08
  Speaker 14: oh my god, this is a rollout when you used
• 25:09
  Speaker 14: to look forward to.
• 25:11
  Speaker 8: That artist artists as well. All this got to be
• 25:13
  Speaker 8: willing to do it. All this got to be willing to.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: Do work as well. Well.
• 25:15
  Speaker 14: Shout out to Carti and the rollouts and all the things.
• 25:19
  Speaker 14: I went to a Galore magazine, Tokyo Styles Cardi B
• 25:21
  Speaker 14: party last night, celebrating them, but they took they didn't.
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: I was there and it was late. They hadn't got there. Yees.
• 25:27
  Speaker 14: So I left before they came. But they covered out
• 25:29
  Speaker 14: Gaalorre magazine. Yeah, so shout out Tokyo Styles and Cardi B.
• 25:32
  Speaker 8: And she does the Boogie issue, she does the Hood issue,
• 25:34
  Speaker 8: goes to the club, she does both sides.
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: Yesterday it was in the middle. It was in the middle.
• 25:39
  Speaker 14: It was like I seen the homies, but it was
• 25:40
  Speaker 14: a lot of people in there. I was like, how
• 25:41
  Speaker 14: did y'all end up here?
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, all right, well that's the latest with Laura.
• 25:45
  Speaker 8: Now when we come back, we got front page News
• 25:47
  Speaker 8: and then Jamaine Dupre will be joining us.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Gome morning.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: You're checking out the Breakfast Club.
• 25:53
  Speaker 8: Good morning, everybody. It's j Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy.
• 25:57
  Speaker 8: We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back in some
• 26:00
  Speaker 8: page newles.
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: What's up?
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: What's up y'all?
• 26:03
  Speaker 9: So this is a story that has been having a
• 26:06
  Speaker 9: lot of back and forth and then there was another
• 26:08
  Speaker 9: ruling that came down yesterday. So a federal judge on
• 26:11
  Speaker 9: Tuesday block President Trump's attempt to fire Lisa Cook from
• 26:14
  Speaker 9: the Federal Reserves Board of Governors, issuing a temporary restraining
• 26:18
  Speaker 9: order that keeps her on the job for now while
• 26:21
  Speaker 9: the case proceeds.
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: The judge in the case ordered.
• 26:24
  Speaker 9: Chair Jerome Powell and the Board not to carry out
• 26:26
  Speaker 9: the removal. Cook is one of several Excuse Me seven
• 26:30
  Speaker 9: governors who helped run the Central Bank. She sits on
• 26:33
  Speaker 9: the Federal Open Market Committee, which votes on interest rates
• 26:36
  Speaker 9: and helps the banking rules and financial civility policies decisions
• 26:40
  Speaker 9: the Feds make.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: They make mortgage.
• 26:43
  Speaker 9: Rates, rules, car loans, credit card applications, and how banks
• 26:47
  Speaker 9: are supervised. For months, Trump has pressed the Federal Reserve
• 26:51
  Speaker 9: to lower interest rates, arguing that his tariff policies will
• 26:54
  Speaker 9: not push up inflation, but central bankers want to see
• 26:57
  Speaker 9: how the trade war and other policy affect the US
• 27:01
  Speaker 9: economy before resuming cuts now. In the spring, Trump threatened
• 27:05
  Speaker 9: to fire Chair Jerome Powell, then backed off as advisors
• 27:08
  Speaker 9: warned him this would spark the market volatility.
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: So rather than take on Powell, whose.
• 27:13
  Speaker 9: Term ends in May of twenty twenty six. It seems
• 27:16
  Speaker 9: the focus has shifted to reshaping the board now. If Cook,
• 27:20
  Speaker 9: a Biden appointee, were removed, Democratic appointed governors would drop
• 27:24
  Speaker 9: to two of the seven member panel now. To do this,
• 27:28
  Speaker 9: Trump has gone after Cook on mortgage fraud allegations tied
• 27:32
  Speaker 9: to properties that she owns in Georgia and in Michigan.
• 27:35
  Speaker 9: Cooke denies any wrongdoing and has not been charged, and.
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: She sued to keep her seat.
• 27:40
  Speaker 9: During a cabinet meeting, though, Trump was asked if her
• 27:43
  Speaker 9: attempt at firing was political and if his administration was
• 27:47
  Speaker 9: weaponizing government by digging into the mortgage records of people
• 27:51
  Speaker 9: he does not like.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: Let's listen to what he had to say.
• 27:54
  Speaker 16: No, they're public. I mean you can find out those records.
• 27:57
  Speaker 16: You can go check out the records yourself. And you
• 27:59
  Speaker 16: should be doing in that job. Actually, you wouldn't do
• 28:01
  Speaker 16: that because that's the kind of reporter you are. But
• 28:04
  Speaker 16: you should be doing that job. I shouldn't have to
• 28:06
  Speaker 16: be doing And if you did your job properly, we
• 28:09
  Speaker 16: wouldn't have problems like Lisa Cook.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: Right then and there, that's when the reporter should be like, Okay,
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: mister president, But what about the f Stein Foss Like
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: whenever he and sol Shoe, you should bring up exactly
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: what you know bothers him.
• 28:21
  Speaker 9: Absolutely, And that was a CBS reporter. Presidents don't typically
• 28:25
  Speaker 9: fire FED leaders. It's part of a norm that that's
• 28:28
  Speaker 9: meant to protect the Central Bank from day to day politics.
• 28:31
  Speaker 9: And it's also interesting to mention that Cook is the
• 28:34
  Speaker 9: first black woman to serve on the FED board in
• 28:36
  Speaker 9: its one hundred and ten year history.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: And you said that was a CBS reporter. So Trump
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: owned CBS, so that that person wasn't gonna bug back.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: Okay, all right, Well moving on.
• 28:46
  Speaker 9: If you have ever had your flight delayed for hours
• 28:50
  Speaker 9: or canceled at the last minute and you sat there
• 28:52
  Speaker 9: wondering if the airline owed you anything, this next story
• 28:55
  Speaker 9: is for you because the Trump administration is reversing a
• 28:59
  Speaker 9: Biden era a plan that would have required airlines to
• 29:02
  Speaker 9: pay passengers compensation when flights were delayed or canceled due
• 29:06
  Speaker 9: to airline related issues. Now we're talking payouts that range
• 29:10
  Speaker 9: from two hundred to seven hundred and seventy five dollars,
• 29:12
  Speaker 9: plus coverage for mills and hotel stays. If you were
• 29:15
  Speaker 9: stranded because of something like a mechanical failure or a
• 29:18
  Speaker 9: system outage.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 29:20
  Speaker 9: The plan was first introduced in twenty twenty three under
• 29:23
  Speaker 9: the Biden administration as part of an effort to cut
• 29:26
  Speaker 9: down on jump fees and push for stronger passenger protections.
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: It even made it.
• 29:31
  Speaker 9: To final approval the stage earlier this year, and it
• 29:33
  Speaker 9: was waiting to take effect, but the Department of Transportation
• 29:36
  Speaker 9: under Trump Secretary Sean Duffy says the rule is now
• 29:40
  Speaker 9: being withdrawn. The airline industry, of course, is celebrating this move.
• 29:45
  Speaker 9: The Airlines for America that's the group that represents Delta
• 29:48
  Speaker 9: United in America.
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: They called the.
• 29:50
  Speaker 9: Reversal a when arguing the rules would have gone beyond
• 29:54
  Speaker 9: the Department of Department of Transportation's authority and they're not
• 29:59
  Speaker 9: fixing the real issue shoes.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: But here's what you need to know.
• 30:02
  Speaker 9: If you are still stranded or if your flight is canceled,
• 30:06
  Speaker 9: the airline will refund you, but they do not have
• 30:09
  Speaker 9: to compensate you for delays. Some carriers choose to do that,
• 30:12
  Speaker 9: but not everyone. It's totally up to the carriers.
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: Now that this is so, we still have so we
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: still do get the refund.
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: You still do.
• 30:20
  Speaker 9: If your flight is cancer not delayed, but canceled, you
• 30:24
  Speaker 9: get the re Yeah.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: Yet yet again, I don't understand why this administration is
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: so hell bent.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: On getting rid of things that actually help people, Like.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: Like, after you've been delayed, you want some type of compensation.
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: Yes, yes, I've been lated to shows like what are
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: we talking about?
• 30:42
  Speaker 9: Especially if it's not your fault, if there's a mechanical
• 30:44
  Speaker 9: issue or staffing shortage, they should pay you.
• 30:48
  Speaker 8: Yes, something absolutely, not even shows like kids events, Like
• 30:51
  Speaker 8: there's been times I have to fly back to make
• 30:53
  Speaker 8: it to a kid's games and the flight was delayed
• 30:55
  Speaker 8: or didn't happen and I was late or missed the
• 30:56
  Speaker 8: kid's game.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it's a lot going on. Yeah, you should
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: be compensated. Absolutely.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: The fact that the Trump administration cares more about what
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: these airlines think than what everyday people think is part
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: of the problem.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: Like I'm so sick of these politicians that are beholding
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: the corporations.
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah, if I'm talking about like me doing shows, I've
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: been late to my own comedy shows and people are
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: there waiting for me, But my flight is delayed and
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: delayed and delayed and it's like, damn, they want their
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: money back at the end of the DA you know
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: what I'm saying. So people miss work is what I mean,
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: not me going to shows.
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: I've seen people miss weddings. I've seen people miss funerals.
• 31:34
  Speaker 8: I didn't see people miss a whole bunch of things
• 31:36
  Speaker 8: because flights are delayed, and they can.
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: Imagine you miss your own funeral because the flight delayed,
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: because you know, sometimes they got to ship at.
• 31:43

  Speaker 1: Know, studio don't.
• 33:10
  Speaker 7: I'm out of that. I'm not in that conversation.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: But you have always coming in and game giving us
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: a great conversation.
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: Man. I've been enjoying the Magic City docuseries and it
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: got me to thinking about like just Atlanta. Like in
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: Atlanta's had a lot of different runs as far as
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: music is concerned. But what is Atlanta culture exactly?
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: Is this?
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: Is it the script clubs?
• 33:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that that's one of the things skating.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: It's a bunch of different things like the bass music
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: and a bunch of different things.
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: But we haven't.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: We've never really highlighted these things the way I guess
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to do and make sure that people understand
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: that that's what it is, because I think like people
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: think like even with the strip club situation, it was
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: me and whoever else was promoting this from a long
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: time ago, just black people trying to promote strip club.
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: And you learned from.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: The documentary that this was a law that was passed
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: in the city and might be more states in the
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: you know South, that nudity was something that they opened
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: the floodgates and made it a business right.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: So even me.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Growing up, I never realized why it was so many
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: strip clubs in Atlanta. It was a strip club, damn
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: on every corner or in every hood in Atlanta, and
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: I never understood.
• 34:25
  Speaker 7: I just thought we was just a strip club place.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: But when you look at this documentary, you start going
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: outside and looking at all the other places, like in
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Florida and all these other places, you're like, oh, it's
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: a law that was passed, right.
• 34:38
  Speaker 7: And I used to come to like New York when
• 34:39
  Speaker 7: we used to do things and wherever.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: I go to other cities and be like, man, why
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: these cities ain't popping like Atlanta with the strip clubs
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: and the law. It is a real law that gave
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: us the entryway to just have this going. So there,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: that's a that's an Atlanta thing.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: You know, it's Magic City, the biggest strip club and
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: the most recognized srip club in the UNA.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: I think, I mean, I think it's been It's been
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: a couple you know, over the years. I think Magic
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: is in the top three, of course, but like Booby trapping,
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Miami King of Diamonds when I mean, you know, Miami's
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: always had you know what I mean, They've always had
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: these trip clubs.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: Turnover be Live.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: I think that's Houston. So I think Houston, it's a
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: couple of places that's got. But I don't think Houston
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: can get naked though.
• 35:28
  Speaker 7: That's the thing.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: It's like we're talking about nudy is fla strip clubs,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: it's Miami and.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Atlanta was nudy nudity. Atlanta need that infrastructure. Now,
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: That's what when I think about Magic City. I know
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: people look at it as just the key ball, but
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: when I'm watching The Doctor, even just growing up, I
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: think over that infrastructure. People with the break record, I.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Want I mean, that's the that's the thing, Like I
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: was going to answer your question. The reason why I
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: wanted to do it is because, you know, we don't
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: talk about the places that actually helped us get to
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: where we are. You know what I mean, that part
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: of hip hop stopped a long time ago. Like when
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: you watch like Wild Style, right when there's a person
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: that's not from New York.
• 36:10
  Speaker 7: I watched Wild Style. You can see like.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: How Grandmaster cast them, what they was doing to become
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: and made what made hip hop turn into what it
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: was here in New York. And in the later years
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: of hip hop, what shows or anything show kids how
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: we got you know what I mean, how we got
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: to where we are. And I think that you know,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: it's important for black establishments to show like it's a
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: forty year old black establishment. The owner went to jail,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: they tried to sell his property, he took it back
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: over and now it's back popping in that he got
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: a TV show Like that's American dream, you know what
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, Like, regardless of whatever good or bad, it's
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: a Black American dream that we don't ever really be talking.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: About infrastructure now, huh is it needed? Now?
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Ye? I mean we need more than any everybody. I mean,
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: not just Atlanta, like a bunch of cities need to.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: It's probably a bunch of other cities that's got like
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: forty to fifty year old black establishments that don't that
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: I don't even know about.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: What do you think ruined strip clubs? Because at one
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: time it was a strip club.
• 37:14
  Speaker 8: In every city, they were always big. There was fifteen
• 37:17
  Speaker 8: in Atlanta, there was ten in New York. What do
• 37:20
  Speaker 8: you think ruined the strip club safety?
• 37:22
  Speaker 7: Right?
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: I think that's why Magic stands out so much because
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: you can go in Magic with all your jurey on.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: You can go in Magic and be the biggest star
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: in the world and be standing next to the biggest
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: criminal in the world. But whatever would happen somewhere else
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: ain't getting ready to happen in Magic. And I say
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: that proudly because even me, I go to Magic without security,
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: like because the security in there gonna take care of
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: me like they like if they was working for me.
• 37:48
  Speaker 7: And I feel like it's the safest club in Atlanta.
• 37:50
  Speaker 7: So I feel like that. I feel like the.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Safety of strip clubs and how Magic ran the club
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: strip club etiquette.
• 37:57
  Speaker 7: I think that is that that's what killed.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: Strip clubs for the most part.
• 38:00
  Speaker 8: Now, also, I noticed, you know, growing up when we
• 38:03
  Speaker 8: used to go to strip clubs, you go with a
• 38:04
  Speaker 8: couple of dollars, right, and you would you would be
• 38:06
  Speaker 8: fine all night.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: That's totally changed.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: No, that's not that's just your mental okay, right, that's
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: just people's mental space.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: If Magic City is like overly crowded, I'll go stand
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: by the bar and I might spend five one hundred
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: to one thousand dollars.
• 38:22
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 38:23
  Speaker 8: And by the way, Katie, that's a lot of money.
• 38:25
  Speaker 8: Talk about a hundred dollars, said a thousand dollars at
• 38:28
  Speaker 8: the bar.
• 38:28
  Speaker 7: I'm just saying, let me put this perspective.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: I said, what's happened the other night when Chris Brown
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: was in Atlanta? They spent two hundred thousand dollars in
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: Magic City. So my little five hundred to a thousand
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: over there in that corner is like one hundred dollars, mana, because.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: I have when people say those numbers and I'm like,
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: I don't believe it.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: I swear to God, I've been on God one hundred thousand,
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: God one hundred went to Chris, Right.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: I've seen people wore one hundred thousand singles.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean one hundred went to christ without a
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: doubt and Magic in Magic they go.
• 39:04
  Speaker 7: When you when you order the money, they bring a.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: Magic City bag and backpass for you backpack. So the
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: backpack had a hundred in it. Jadea waiter, y'all know ja,
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: she got about a dog, right, I think maybe more
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: P from QC. I think he ordered forty right then
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: and that you know that's that's one sixty right there.
• 39:25
  Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying. Chris By himself had one hundred,
• 39:27
  Speaker 7: That's what I'm saying.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: So if you start splitting it up, I think Booo
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: probably got ten or fifteen twenty.
• 39:33
  Speaker 7: You were two hundred fast.
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: So when you was in the back of the day
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: with BMF, how much did you see them spend that one.
• 39:38
  Speaker 7: On my album?
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: I have a conversation with Meech and he says he
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: spent six hundred thousand dollars one night.
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: That's insanity, that's crazy. What's the most you spent? And
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: using it with Janet? What did you?
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, had I had a limit, like when everybody
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: heard me say I spend ten thousand.
• 39:54
  Speaker 7: That was my limit.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: So once I got to that ten, I wasn't trying.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: But by the way, I'm not in there trying to compete.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: I always felt like, you know, at one point in
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: time when BMF came or when BMF grew, because I've
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: been in the club with Meet for a long time
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: before BMF was a crew like that, and we used
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: to be at the Gentlemen's Club back and when you
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: watched the episode where Magic supposedly was burnt down or
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: whatever and everybody went to the Gentlemen's Club, that's back
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: in the period of time when I actually met Meech,
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: and Meech didn't have the crew, the crew of people
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: with him, and we was in the Gentleman's Club, and
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: in the Gentleman's Club, it.
• 40:31
  Speaker 7: Was like, well he signed. We wasn't really throwing the money.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: We was just like giving the girls the money, right,
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: And that's that's where the whole confusion about who started
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: throwing the money came from.
• 40:40
  Speaker 7: Because I started.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: I started doing this in Money and a Thing video,
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: And I know people want to say they did it
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: and did it when you find a video that came
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: out before Money and any Thing where you see rappers
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: owing money like this, right, and that I never had a.
• 40:55
  Speaker 7: Like, it wasn't about me trying to challenge nobody.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: It got to be that when we them crew came
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: and it was like, oh damn, they throwing more money
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: we got to throw.
• 41:04
  Speaker 7: It became like a money wore. I was never I
• 41:06
  Speaker 7: was never part of that.
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: We're still talking to Jamaine Duprie.
• 41:09
  Speaker 8: The new docu series, Magic City is out right now
• 41:12
  Speaker 8: and the soundtrack comes out this Friday.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: Charlamagne.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: When I think about Mariah Carey getting, you know, the
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: accolade she got the other night at the VMA, I
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: don't know if that happens without you. And what I
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: mean by that is Mariah had a fantastic career, but
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: that album was like a comeback album that kind of
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: solidified her forever.
• 41:30
  Speaker 7: I was talking to her about this before yesterday.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: And I was saying, like, it would have happened without me,
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: but Mariah, listen, Mariah is such a New York hip
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: hop person that she wants to gravitate towards this right
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: as opposed to like promoting the Boys the Men record,
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: which was no song her first song of the decade. Right,
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: she ain't even performed that song the other night, like
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like, she got records that's
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: bigger than the records I did. That She just like, yeah,
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: you know we're gonna do this tonight.
• 42:03
  Speaker 7: This is what we're gonna do.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: I listen. I love it because I'm a part of it.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: But don't get it twisted. These songs is you know
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: what I mean? She got records that she could do
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: that's like hero, you know what I mean, These songs
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: that's huge, that made her Mariah has sold thirty million
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: records before I even worked with her, you know what
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like.
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: That charm Bracelet and then that it was that movie
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: called I don't even remember that that it was a
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: bad it was dark.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but one one black Eye can't kill you.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: No, that's true.
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: But then you came back to the mes's vision of
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: me me, and that's that's a nuclear bomb. I mean,
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: that's not a normal album.
• 42:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: I just I always look at that like, I'm really
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: I can't take credit for Mariah.
• 42:43
  Speaker 7: She's she's who she is.
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: And she was who she was before I you know,
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: I'm just happy.
• 42:48
  Speaker 7: That she let me be a part of the ride.
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: I think that puts more person on you though, And
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: what I mean by that is when you're tasked with
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: going in there with the iconic person already and creating
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: something that gets them, you know, back seeing the way
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: that they were seeing before that you know, last flop.
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: That says a lot that you was able to accomplish that.
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: Then to put pressure on me, I would think so
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: back then, nah, because I don't.
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: Think about it like you know, Like the thing about
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: it is when I go in the studio, people I
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: don't be like, I don't get caught up in what's
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: happening in their life. And I think that that was
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: what was going on in her life outside of the studio.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: I go in the studio and I'm like, I say
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: this all the time when I when I work with
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: Aretha Franklin, she made me realize, like, listen, if you're
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: gonna be in here working and I'm gonna pay you
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: and we're gonna let you get this credit, you better
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: say what you gotta say. If I sound bad, if
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: I don't even sound halfway good, she was like, tell
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: me to do it again.
• 43:40
  Speaker 7: And I'm like, I can't tell Rita Franklin. Nothing like
• 43:42
  Speaker 7: this will Rita Franklin.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: But the way she was talking to me, was like,
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: I flew you here to Detroit to cut my vocals,
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: So what you're gonna do. You're gonna sit in the
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: here and there and watch me? Or if if that's
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: I'm going home. That's what she told me. She'says, literally,
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: I'm going home, that's what you're gonna do. And that's
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: when I set that for me, and I'm like, you
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: know what, I gotta do this. I just gotta be
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: brutally honest with artists. And when it came to mancipation
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: of me, me, we belong together. We made the song
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: like listen Rian, if you don't hit the note that
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: at the end of the record, the record ain't gonna
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: be what people want the record to be. They want
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: you to that's that's what they want. We gotta give
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: them what they want. And it was like nobody else
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: wanted to say this. I had to say it, and
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: I have to be like, you know, if you don't
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: like me for saying what is real?
• 44:26
  Speaker 7: Then while we in the room together, what.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: Was one of the artists that didn't like you being
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: brutally honest? I was like, nah, it's not.
• 44:32
  Speaker 7: For me, nobody.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: I don't think nobody I mean, I think everybody want
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: they don't want to address it, but when it's right,
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: they're like, oh, okay, you know.
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: But a lot of them.
• 44:43
  Speaker 7: Like you know Bow, I didn't like. Oh, I think
• 44:45
  Speaker 7: they like me.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: Usher didn't like seem like you wrestled with him every time.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: You understand that that's what balance.
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: But I'm saying Usher didn't like you make me want them,
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: and you have to sit there and be like, man,
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: why what do you what are you listening to that
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: make you not like this song?
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: What was it about the emancipation of me me that
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: got her back to where she needed to be? Was
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: it the freedom that maybe you provided? Because I started
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: Brat telling this story about how Tommy Matola got guns
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: pulled on you because you let Mariah go to burden.
• 45:15
  Speaker 7: I didn't let them do nothing. They pulled off and
• 45:17
  Speaker 7: went on their own. But yeah, we'll.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: Tell the story. I don't know the story, Okay.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: So the first time I started working with Mariah, I
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: decided to do it always be my baby remix, right,
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: So I brought Escape and the Brat to her house
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: that was out in upstate with her and Tommy. And
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: this was the first time me I started bringing my
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: people around Mariah and I brought.
• 45:40
  Speaker 7: Brat her and Brat kicked it.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: They hit it off, and she convinced Brat or either
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: Bratt convinced her, let's take a trip in the car,
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: just me and you and go to McDonald's or some
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: more together.
• 45:52
  Speaker 7: Security left the ground without.
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: Me knowing and showed up in the studio like what's
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: going on. I'm like, I seen what was running around
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: like and and it always looking at me like JD,
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: this is your person. She done ran off with Mariah
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, what the Like that was a crazy moment.
• 46:11
  Speaker 7: This is my first time being there, this.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: Is my first time at her house and I bring
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: something over.
• 46:17
  Speaker 7: This was just like a story.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: You bring something over to the house and this is
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: what happened. And I'm in the house like this, like
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: I'm just trying to make a record. Mand what the
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: is going on where you're at?
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 46:27
  Speaker 7: I called her.
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: She's like, we just getting some prize and I'm like
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: what why why? And she was saying that Mariah just
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: like at that period of time, Mariah was, you know,
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: this was a different type of successful life at this
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: point celebrity. She wasn't the artist that could go outside
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: and go to McDonald's, or she wasn't even doing that,
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: Like she was sheltered in the house and she she
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: just wanted to get out, and Brat was her her
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: person that was ready to go escape and do it.
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: So was it that level of freedom you provided her,
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: That's what I called it? A massive patient?
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: Nah, Just I just think I think I make Mariah comfortable, right,
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: and I don't.
• 47:02
  Speaker 7: I don't.
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: I don't fake with her about the music that we
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: should make. And I think that's what makes her feel free,
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: you know, free, because I'm telling her, I'm telling anybody,
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: if you sing, make singing records man like and like,
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 47:18
  Speaker 7: You want to rap. And I'm a rapper at heart.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: But I learned how to make music, and I learned
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: through the success that I've had that these people want
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: these records to sound like the records that they know.
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: The audience don't change, right, So I just have to
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: keep beating that in people's minds and letting them know, like, listen,
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: you might want to change your stuff, but the person
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: that's listening, they want the new Mariah record to sound
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: like the Mariah record that they heard before.
• 47:45
  Speaker 7: And that's always a hard fight with artists.
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: Did you ever take your mediciny?
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 47:49
  Speaker 7: No, no, no, no, she won't.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: She probably won't go to that saying that ain't her
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: that ain't her bag.
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: Now back to USh. You said she didn't like make
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: make me want to? Yeah? Why not was the problem?
• 48:00
  Speaker 7: I don't know?
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: And how'd you get him? How'd you force them to
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: finally do it?
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean I have to force him, but he
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: also just let me know it wouldn't like that wasn't
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: what he felt he should be coming with. At this
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: point in time, Usher was still not sure where his
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: career was gonna go.
• 48:14
  Speaker 7: So he's still cut the song, luckily, but if.
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: We was in that space right now, he's not gonna
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: cut the song right now.
• 48:21
  Speaker 7: He ain't be like, I don't know that song right now.
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: He don't care if you don't like it.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: It's not even gonna get cut right now. I would
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: trust you to not he's gonna be like that's right now.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: I'd be like, yo, Usher, please cut this song. Us
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: should turn his phone off.
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: Like when your name is mentioned fifty years from now,
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: what's the one record or one artist you want to
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: define your legs?
• 48:44
  Speaker 7: I don't know who the artist is, somebody great.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: I mean I think, you know, I think like watching
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: Mariah get Van Gold Award and her performing in that
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: piece to a records that I did, I think that
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: means that means a lot, you know what I mean? Like,
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: I'm almost like you're saying, it's like my records loud
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: enough to make people damn to believe that I had
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: something to do with her success. To me, that's a
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: mean accomplishment, because I didn't have anything to do with
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: her becoming who she is.
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: No, that's not true.
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: That's not true. I mean it's the second wave.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm saying I think I think I might
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: have made more black people like her, Yes, but she's.
• 49:21
  Speaker 7: Still Rode Carrett.
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but it says something you me. I mean, I
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: mean about the best album I get its picture me
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: is brock Carey's best album. Absolutely, that's probably the definitive
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: album of her whole career. That's her thriller.
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 49:34
  Speaker 7: I don't know, I don't know.
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: We're still talking to Jamaine Duprie.
• 49:38
  Speaker 8: The new docu series, Magic City is out right now
• 49:40
  Speaker 8: and the soundtrack comes out this Friday.
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: Charlamagne, what's the hardest personal sacrifice you've made for your career.
• 49:47
  Speaker 7: Life. I don't really have no life. I just be
• 49:50
  Speaker 7: making music, you know what I mean?
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: And I have people that tell me this all the time, like,
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: jad you know you don't really you my baby mother's
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: be saying.
• 49:58
  Speaker 7: It's like, you know.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: You your life is the music. All you do is
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: care about the music. All you care about is putting
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: out records. All you care about doing what you're doing
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: every day. And that's the truth, it is.
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: That's what it is.
• 50:09
  Speaker 7: I don't care about nothing else.
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: You enjoy the money. You don't go on vacation.
• 50:12
  Speaker 7: I mean that come along with it, but it ain't.
• 50:13
  Speaker 7: That's not that's not a chase for me.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: Like my chase is to be you know, like what
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: they said on the Billboard, I get number one.
• 50:21
  Speaker 7: I feel like I feel like I finally did something
• 50:23
  Speaker 7: by getting number one on that list.
• 50:25
  Speaker 8: But that it's never enough because you want more not
• 50:27
  Speaker 8: but now it's like but it's but it's also like fighting.
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: It's like boxing, you gotta you gotta can you can
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: you stay in that space?
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 50:36
  Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: It's like watching Floyd and Tyson tug why they gonna fight.
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: It's like Floyd retired, but he still want to be
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: the He wants to be the best.
• 50:46
  Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying. It's like I'm not saying
• 50:48
  Speaker 7: I'm retired. I'm out here.
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: So I just know that, you know, like I also
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: know that it's space in hip hop and R and
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: B that hasn't been touched. What I'm doing, going from
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: ninety two and being becoming the number one producer the
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: twenty first century in twenty twenty five ain't been seen
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: ever ever, Right, So if you start doing it ain't
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: never been seen. You don't have no reasons. I don't
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: have no reason to stop. I just gotta, you know,
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: pray to God that don't stop.
• 51:17
  Speaker 5: You know what I mean.
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: It's funny. I wonder if hip hop had limits you
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: may do.
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: And what I mean by that is when people start
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: talking about, yo, who's the greatest producers of all time,
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: They'll start, you know, naming a bunch of people who
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: do a lot of hip hop records. Right, But you
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: gotta just say Jamaine is a musician. If you if
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: you said Jamaine is just a musical producer, then I
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: think the conversation is a little bit different.
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I mean.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: I mean it's hard, man, because I feel like I
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: switched from people. I switch up on people so much.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: When I'm in R and B mode. I'm not talking
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: about no rap, right. I remember one time I came
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: up here and I was so R and BT out
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: and I want, I'm waving the flag for R and
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: B and I ain't talking about nothing rap. I think
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: that confuses the podcast and the guys that usually talk
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: to me about they like, wait a minute, I thought
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: this is money anything and you you know what I mean,
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: Magic city, So you want to make division records, you
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. I think that that that throws
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: the whole thing off because I do switch.
• 52:17
  Speaker 7: I mean, that's how that's the only way I can
• 52:19
  Speaker 7: do it.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: That's the only way I can make it is to
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: get away from, you know, from one thing for a
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: minute and go into that space and be one hundred
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: percent in that space.
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: Is there a media bias even towards the South, But
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: I think about that with the producers and the artists.
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: So there's some artists from the South who should be
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: getting mentioned. It's top lyricists all the time, and some
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: producers from the South we should be getting mentioned the top.
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: I just think that and I want to I want
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: to get I want to show Bank a shout out
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: because I feel like it's an interview.
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: With thug fantastic pushes brilliant.
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: Finally somebody in Atlanta to the forefront of hip hop
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: media in the city of Atlanta.
• 52:55
  Speaker 7: And I think it's taken.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: Thirty years for somebody in the city of Atlanta to
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: be the person that you have to sit down and
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: talk to if you that guy in hip hop, and
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: he just made himself that person if you ask.
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: I'm glad I said it on the air. Regional identity
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: matters in media and everything, and Atlanta has been the
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: hip hop capital for so long, but have never had
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: that meeting christ Luther Gray screening on but they've never
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: had that, And I.
• 53:25
  Speaker 7: Think that's the problem, is like every time somebody from Atlanta.
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: That's popped, they always had to come to New York
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: and no disrespect, but I've been saying it should have
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: been somebody that did what he did with future Luther
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: Chris Ti I got out of jail. We know had
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: so many artists that had so many stories or they
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: missed the opportunity like what just happened with Doug because
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: we don't have that person in the city, and that
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: just that goes to the culture like people should like
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: I just saw the magazine out there with you on
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: the front cover of Variety. I've never seen that before
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: right in Atlanta. I don't think young people read and
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: see things like that to push them to say, you
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: know what, I'm wanna do what Charllemagne doing, Man, I
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: want to do what Envy doing. He got a call
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: show Like, they don't see that enough to distract them.
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: All they see is JD throwing money and this is
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: doing money rapping.
• 54:16
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna be a rapper. Nah, you ain't gotta be
• 54:18
  Speaker 7: no rapper. You know what I mean?
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: Bank getting ready to hit the bank absolutely, you know
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying based on what he just did that
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: one interview. Far as I'm concerned, if he do what
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: he gotta do and he keep it at that level
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: and the way he talked to him, it makes you
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: gonna have people that really want to sit down and like,
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: let you interview him the same way you did.
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: And Big Facts has already been that platform to me.
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: Yea right, and then now to see Bank doing the
• 54:40
  Speaker 3: perspective with Banks.
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, but it took thirty years, That's what
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. It took thirty years for somebody to say,
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: this is what we need. I'm gonna do it like this, right,
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: And I'm really happy to see that. I feel like
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: that's gonna turn. That's gonna change the city, because that's
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: gonna people. Somebody gonna that and they gonna create another one, right,
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: and at that point that world will open up.
• 55:04
  Speaker 7: Because when I came here, I think the beginning of.
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: Me talking about Magic City, I was like, Yo, everybody
• 55:10

  Speaker 14: of sexual assought, sat down for his first interview after
• 58:36
  Speaker 14: the filing with NBC News and in this interview he
• 58:39
  Speaker 14: went over just basically and recounted like you know what
• 58:41
  Speaker 14: he filed in the lawsuit. So they have a conversation
• 58:44
  Speaker 14: about what he allegedes happen. You guys, remember that's the
• 58:46
  Speaker 14: lawsuit for like two hundred and sixty million dollars. That's
• 58:49
  Speaker 14: the white dude right, yes, yep, who was an actor
• 58:52
  Speaker 14: on you know, some of Tyler Perry's shows.
• 58:54
  Speaker 5: So they talk about a bunch of different things.
• 58:56
  Speaker 14: So they get into what some of the instances that
• 58:59
  Speaker 14: he alleged happens. And one of the things he goes
• 59:01
  Speaker 14: into is him a legend that Tyler Perry touched his
• 59:03
  Speaker 14: But let's listen.
• 59:05
  Speaker 18: Twenty twenty another alleged incident that you outline in your
• 59:08
  Speaker 18: lawsuit where you're again at Tyler Perry's home in Atlanta
• 59:13
  Speaker 18: and it ends up with you locking yourself in a bathroom.
• 59:15
  Speaker 12: We started out having drinks in the living room like
• 59:18
  Speaker 12: we have done before, and it got to a point
• 59:20
  Speaker 12: in the night where you know, we were both kind
• 59:23
  Speaker 12: of feeling drunk, and I remember we were walking back
• 59:26
  Speaker 12: to the guest area where I've stayed before and there
• 59:29
  Speaker 12: was this health monitor scale on the way and I
• 59:32
  Speaker 12: was like, what is that? And he said, well, you
• 59:34
  Speaker 12: have to be in an underwear to measure, you know whatever,
• 59:36
  Speaker 12: so you should you should do it. He reached down
• 59:39
  Speaker 12: and pulled my underwear down and grabbed my my ass
• 59:42
  Speaker 12: and I, you know, tried to stop him and pulled
• 59:45
  Speaker 12: back my underwear up and he kind of grabbed my
• 59:47
  Speaker 12: arms and said no, no, no.
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: It's okay, just go with it.
• 59:50
  Speaker 12: And I said, you know, stop, I don't want to
• 59:53
  Speaker 12: be naked. I don't want this, and he was just like, no, no, no,
• 59:56
  Speaker 12: I'm not going to hurt you, and just.
• 59:57
  Speaker 14: Continued, Yeah. So he talks about that a bit. What
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 14: why are you looking at envy like that charlamage, I'm
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 14: not looking at it.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: You weren't looking at envy, not looking at.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 5: Road saying I will continue to do what.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 6: But you mean with Tyler Perry continue to the audio.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, story he said, and then he continues continued
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 5: to do it.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 14: So basically because he talks about another time to where
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 14: he stayed at or that basically he was saying that
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 14: despite him not wanting Tyler or showing allegedly that he
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 14: didn't want Tyler Perry's advances, Tyler Perry still continue to
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 14: you know, throw advances his way allegedly and things of
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 14: that nature. Now, No, I'm laughing at you, Charlemagne. You're
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 14: getting on my notes. I'm going back to my story now.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 14: He also talks about some of the text messages that
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 14: they exchanged. Because Tyler Perry's team is denying all of this,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 14: Tiler Paris attorney Matthew Boyd is saying that this is
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 14: someone who obviously got close to Tyler, but it was
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 14: because this was all a skin more a shakedown. Now,
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 14: let's Tay go listen to him on what the text
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 14: message conversations they had.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 18: The complaint includes multiple screenshots of text messages allegedly between
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 18: Dixon and Perry.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 12: Picture where he's on the jets ski. I said, next
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 12: picture and he said, yell, the water looks calm. He said,
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 12: nice picture. You don't see that stud in that picture?
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: Rude?
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 12: And I said, lo l, yes, that's a stud. And
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 12: all these texts. I tried to de escalate them and
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 12: make a joke out of them.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 5: Some of the messages more sexual in nature.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 12: One of them says, what what's it going to take
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 12: for you to have guiltless sex? Have y'all found that
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 12: in therapy?
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: Yet?
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 12: I would hope that you would let someone hold you
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 12: and make love to you just.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 5: I wish you. Who was the stood in the picture?
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 14: He said, Tyler Perry was stud Yeah, so it was

  Speaker 5: Yes.

  Speaker 3: Now.

  Speaker 14: worth he's asking for two hundred and sixty million dollars.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 5: They want to know, how did you even get to

  Speaker 12: Part of that number is my lost job, I lost income,
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 12: the loss of the show. The other part of that
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 12: is a deterrent for you know, how do you stop
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 12: a billionaire who won't stop themselves from I'm doing from
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 12: doing this.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: That's a lie.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 6: So he was gonna make two sixty Listen, they said
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 6: to sixty for two hundred and sixty million dollars.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: Half of that one was gonna make one thirty for
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: the show.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 5: And then what show was he on?
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: Hey?
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 5: Lost his job? What show was he on with Tyler?
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: Was paying him?
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 3: What is it?
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 11: No?
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 7: He was?
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 6: He was he got a Beauty in the black because
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 6: I watched that he was starring on the Oval?
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, hey, man.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: Let the record show. I don't believe this man. Okay,
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: I don't believe me. I don't care what y'all think.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: Be mad.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 3: I don't believe this guy.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 8: I just hate the fact that somebody who accused that
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 8: somebody could do interviews.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: Why exactly for the actual court case that makes no Like,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 3: why is why is this who?
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 5: The interview he sat down with ABC?
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 3: Why is ABC supposed to be a reputable news even
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 3: organization even entertaining this?
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 13: Like?
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 3: What what what has he presented for y'all? To entertain
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 3: this and give him an.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 8: It doesn't it doesn't make sense. Before they go to
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 8: actual trial they're able to do that. And if there's
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 8: a jury, the jury, he has one side. Tyler Perry
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 8: will never be able to do that because he's being sued,
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 8: So his lawyer's gonna advise him to shut the f
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 8: up to the trial, So you're only gonna hear one side.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 8: I just think the whole thing is fed up. But
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 8: if he does get to sixty four, but.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: Grab, I'm coming for you. He's not giving.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 6: Because maybe it's because he's white as well that this
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 6: is happening. I can see that maybe they thought the
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 6: story would be better and it would stick more because
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 6: he's white.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: So I can see that's why. Well, that's what I
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: don't believe any of it.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 14: Yeah, And Tyler Paris attorney Matthew Boy also said that
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 14: Tyler Perry refuses to be shaken down and that they
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 14: are confident these fabricated claims of harassment will fail.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 5: In response to this sit down interview.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 8: Yes, and I just want to say one last thing.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 8: I just said, Charlemagne, it gives me too sixty four
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 8: for grabbing my butt. Charlemage didn't say he didn't grab
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 8: my butt. He just said he don't have too sixty.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 5: But I don't know why he gonna.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 14: Say to me, why I can't get through the story
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 14: and he here giving you all these faces, why this
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 14: story has happened. There's cameras in here, Charlemagne, Like, who

  Speaker 11: We wanted to know how you came up with and
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 11: don't be a name.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 3: Because today there's a bunch of donkeys out the street.

• 1:07:40
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'm talking wham bam, thank you scam all right,
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 3: super sayan scamming. And let me tell you something. If
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 3: there's two things that grind my gifts, it's when people
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 3: take advantage of kids and the elderly. Funny how life works. Okay,
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 3: we start off as kids that need their asses white
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 3: by others, and then grow to be eldest that need
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 3: their asses white by But either way, neither version deserves
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 3: to be taken advantage of. And nothing hurts worse than
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 3: watching kids, all the elderly getting taken advantage of by
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 3: their own family. And that's exactly what Erica Hopper did.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 3: She is accused of making more than two hundred and
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 3: sixty six thousand dallas and unauthorized purchases from an old
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 3: man's account.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: Would you like to know who the old man was?
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: Let's go to NBC four for the report. Police.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 20: Montgomery County Police accused forty five year old Erika Hopper
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 20: of embezzlement, theft, and fraud. When her grandfather went to
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 20: an assisted living home in Silver Spring following the death
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 20: of his wife of sixty plus years, Hopper gained power
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 20: of attorney in the statement of charges against her. Police
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 20: accuse her of using that to spend her grandfather's money,
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 20: including from the sale of his house, on herself, from
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 20: November of twenty twenty one until June of this year.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 20: Expenditures listed include payments on a twenty twenty two Kia Stinger,
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 20: the payoff of credit card balances on two cards, stage
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 20: area seats at an Usher concert, elective cosmetic surgery, trips
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 20: to New Orleans and Las Vegas, designer clothing and accessories,
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 20: and rent payments totaling more than two hundred and sixty
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 20: six thousand dollars. Charging documents accused Hopper of listing her
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 20: grandfather's pension and Social Security, making him a co tenant
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 20: to qualify for an apartment at a luxury building steps
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 20: from Union Market in Northeast DC. Police say he remained
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 20: in the nursing home during that time.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: Really, Erica, your ninety five year old grandfather.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 3: If your grandfather touching that kind of paper, he probably
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 3: got you in the will. Anyway, if your grandfather touching
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 3: that kind of paper, you could have.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: Probably just asked them for what you want.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 3: Then you get the money and spend it on a
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 3: new car, luxury apartment, cosmetic surgery. But you got a
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 3: BBL luxury clothing, concert tickets, concert tickets. Who did you
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 3: go see the Wratchet?
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 3: You wanted to have big fun on your grandfather's dime.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 3: She actually went to go see Usher and didn't even
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 3: get no cherries. Now, I know you had power of
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 3: attorney for your grandfather, Erica, but that doesn't mean power
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 3: to exploit. Okay, we was just talking about this earlier
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 3: because Cardi b was on Jennifer Hudson saying how your
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 3: kids are gonna take care of you when you get older.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 3: They're supposed to. You should be able to rely on
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 3: family when you get older. But you can't change a
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 3: player's game in the nine inning. Okay, once the scammer,
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 3: always a scammer. And know Erica is not Nigerian. I
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 3: know you were thinking it, but a Nigerian would never
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 3: do their grandfather like this because Nigerians understand those who
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 3: respect the elderly paid their own road towards success. The
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 3: Bible even says you should submit to your elders with humility.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 3: That's first Pter five to five. Erica, you was not humble,
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 3: You was arrogant. Crazy thing is you wasn't scamming your grandfather,
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 3: You were scamming yourself. Okay, what kind of soulless person
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 3: steals from a ninety five year old, especially a person
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 3: who was probably gonna leave you something anyway, Hey, elders
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 3: are supposed to pass down blessings, not get blood dry
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 3: by their own bloodlines. Okay, I don't know who needs
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 3: to hear this this morning, but please listen to you,
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 3: Uncle Shawla. Taking advantage of old folks ain't hustling. That's heartless. Okay,
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 3: if you'll rob your own grandfather, you'll rob anybody, and
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 3: that's why you have to you, Erica should have to
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 3: deal with maximum consequences. They need to make an example
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 3: of you. That man is ninety five. He fought through
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 3: segregation and probably two hip replacements. Okay, he should not
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 3: have to fight his own granddaughter for his bank account.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 3: Please give Erica Hoffer the sweet sounds of the Hamiltons.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 7: Oh no, you are.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: Of the day, the dogee all the day.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 3: Yet gotta make an example of her.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 8: Now, I was thinking, I was thinking, mask your question. Boy,
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 8: that's your granddaughter. She stole from me. It's wrong, it's foul.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 8: But do you press charges on your granddaughter?
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 9: Now?
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: I got to mention, I don't even remember.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 3: Y'all do what y'all do, but I don't know nothing.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 3: Make sure my money back on my account.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: That should makes your my money back in my count
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: I don't remember.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 8: Foul, it's horrible, But do you puss charges on your granddaughter?
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 3: It's not about whether or not he present charges on
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 3: some other family. Getting charges pressed on her because she
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 3: committed a crime was some other family.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 6: You need some type of consequence, Like you said, I mean, yeah,
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 6: you pressed charges on the law as man and then
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 6: like right, but she was probably in the will anyway.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 5: If you're touching that type of paper like you don't
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 5: even know, that's crazy.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 8: You don't know because she probably gonna go to jail
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 8: for some time time like this, ain't no thirty days.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 3: She made a choice, but forty she's a forty five
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 3: year old woman who made a choice. Still, your grand
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 3: choices have consequences, I agree, But still your granddaughter, I
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 3: don't care no better you're talking about does she care
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 3: about me as the grandfather? What she was feeling for me?
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: No, it was wrong. But you still don't want you
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: what you do.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 5: At ninety years old and your in Madison's daughter do
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 5: this to you? You ninety?
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: I don't want her to go to jail.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 7: What's fat?
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: It's wrong.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 8: I'm not saying I'm not saying it's right, But you
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 8: don't want your granddaughter your granddaughter?
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 2: All Right, we'll forget it.
• 1:13:18

• 1:13:29
  Speaker 5: and nobody thought.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: I had somebody thinking never happened.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 3: Roll the tape.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: Never happened, never said the clown, never said that.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 8: All right, well, thank you for that donkey at the
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 8: Ache News. Now, when we come back, Larious Oaks, I

• 1:14:35
  Speaker 3: Shaka just put out an amazing new body of work, Man,
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 3: a new book, How to Be Free, A Proving gud
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 3: The Escaping Life's Hidden Prisons. Man, what is a hidden prison?
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 21: It's the things that you don't see that standing away
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 21: of you living the best life for yourself.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 21: So what I've thought about this this big idea and
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 21: created this kind of blueprint to help people live the.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: Life that they're fully capable of, fully deserving.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 21: I recognized that we all had these hidden prisons, you know,
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 21: self doubt, negative self talk. You know, that's one of
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 21: the big things that kind of standing away. There's also
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 21: things like anger, grief, shame, things from our childhood that
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 21: really doesn't allow us to show up fully and authentically
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 21: in our full potential.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: You know, I wanted to.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 8: I know you got the book out, but there's a
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 8: lot that's been going on, and I figured you would
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 8: be the right person to ask some questions about everything
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 8: going on in Atlanta. It seems like people, I wouldn't say,
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 8: glorify the street and glorify things that happen in the street.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 8: And I feel like sometimes people don't know how to
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 8: get out of it. Right, you see what happened in Atlanta.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 8: Everybody's this person's a rat.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: When do you get to an age or what do
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: you tell those young as it says, hey, it's not
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 2: worth it.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 8: We see what's happening. But it seems like they don't
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 8: learn their lessons. So what do you tell one of
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 8: those little young those little young brothers out there.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: That's a prison that's not hidden.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 21: But I think one of the things with our with
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 21: our culture, specifically like hip hop culture, is we've kind
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 21: of intermingled the idea that these guys are really street
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 21: guys and really they artists. They're kids who are trying
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 21: to figure out how to make money using the talent,
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 21: but also using the stories from a background that society
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 21: has sold us on as being like the way to
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 21: show up in the world, right, like the only way
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 21: we can make it. And what I tell the young
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 21: people is that it's made way more money in legitimate enterprise.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 21: And like I was pretty decent with street sales, but
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 21: I can tell you make way more money in legitimate enterprise,
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 21: and the accessibility to it now is something we see.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 21: I mean, like you can take a phone and build
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 21: a whole career, right, And so I think we have
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 21: to separate like what's really the streets from like what's
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 21: music culture and these kids pretending to be street guys,
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 21: because it's kind of ridiculous if you think about it.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 21: If you're making all this money and music, then why
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 21: are you going backwards? Because it's not many guys that's
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 21: really financially successful coming for the streets, like and I mean,
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 21: you talk to any of the guys that actually are
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 21: you know, recognized from being in that environment, they tell
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 21: you most guys don't make real money industries. Most guys
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 21: are basically minimum wage, you know workers. So if you're
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 21: making all this legitimate money in music, why would you
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 21: kind of try to intermingle that with this identity that's
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 21: not real?
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 3: Man? That's a great point. And what do you say
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 3: to people who act like the screech is a industry?
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 3: And what I mean by that is you'll have folks
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 3: that will say things to you like, well, who determines
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 3: what's legal and illegal, or who determines what's right and
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 3: what's wrong. Because they'll say there's people out here that
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 3: make money selling alcohol. The people that say here that's
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 3: making money selling marijuana. Now, I'm like, that's not the same.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 3: Like the screech is not a real industry.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 21: Yeah, no, I mean it's a kind of dispersed industry. Right,
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 21: It's like anything goes. But when you look at how
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 21: you know, for example, the marijuana industry, right, how that's
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 21: evolved to become legitimate enterprise. Right, Like that's where we
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 21: should be focusing. How do we change laws and policies
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 21: to work for advantage insteady being victimized by these policies
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 21: and then somebody else reaps all the benefits. And so
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 21: you know, I'm always telling you know, the young people
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 21: that I mentor is really think about how do you
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 21: get ownership and whatever it is you're interested in. Like
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 21: that's I've been in SILICONMB Valley for three years, which
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 21: actually is one of the inspirations for writing this book
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 21: because I work with people that's like ultra wealthy, and
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 21: yet I see them have kind of like some of
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 21: the same prisons that you know, I see people in
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 21: the neighborhood. I've seen people who is actually in real
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 21: prison have that same kind of mental blocks that doesn't
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 21: allow them to show up authentically. Even though it looks
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 21: like they got all the traps of success, they're still
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 21: not happy and fulfilled. So that's to me, it's more like,
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 21: how are you getting equity, but also how are you
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 21: creating like the mental equity to really live a life
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 21: that you want to live.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 2: I got one more question with that.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 8: Is there a cold when it comes to the street
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 8: in your opinion, But we had a conversation about cold.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: Is there a cold? Is there a cold that you're
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: supposed to follow or is.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 8: It just is it legal activity, you know, I mean,
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 8: or is there something that guidelines that should be followed.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 21: I mean, I grew up in the air of like
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 21: crack cocaine, so I can't speak to with their's codes.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 21: Now I haven't been in the streets in like thirty
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 21: some years, and I'm fifty three years old. Man, successful
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 21: business man. I'm an entrepreneur, man, I got a kid,
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 21: I got investments. But I do you know, I mean,
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 21: I still do a lot of work with people in
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 21: prison and in the neighborhoods. And you know, I kind
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 21: of know that the codes are really your personal values, right,
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 21: everybody can say that they're real and to them handcuffs
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 21: going up to you in that terrogation room, and you're
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 21: really facing a life sentence. And that's what we don't
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 21: talk about is how many different ways you can end
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 21: up serving life without actually even really doing anything meaningful,
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 21: just by associations.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 21: You know, when you're talking about those rico charges, a
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 21: lot of these guys not making real money. They just
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 21: around and then you get swooped up and the way
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 21: the farest players, they gonna load up everything they could
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 21: charge you with, and then most likely you will plead out,
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 21: which is like ninety five percent of people do.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't. I stay out the streets, Andy,
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: I'm out here just being a grown We try to
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: tell the younger that to stay out the streets, absolutely,
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 2: it ain't worth it.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 8: And any little bit of money you were gonna make,
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 8: or any little bit of cloud that you're gonna make,
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 8: ain't worth the ten life sentences, two life sentences, or
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 8: one life sentence, you know what I mean.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 2: It ain't worth missing your family life, your kids. It
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: ain't worth it, man.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 21: You know, the nineteen years in prison that I serve,
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 21: I watched life go by. You know, I came home,
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 21: my younger siblings were adults. My nephews and nieces didn't
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 21: even know me. You know, they had to get to
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 21: know me. And so you can't you can't replace those years.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 21: You know, there's nothing you can do to get that
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 21: time back. And this is what I can tell you
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 21: for sure about about prison. Life is the toughest break
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 21: under those circumstances. Everybody when they when they hit that
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 21: pillar at night, they're wishing that they would have made
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 21: different life choices, you know what I mean. So I
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 21: wouldn't wish that on anybody, and I try to discourage guys.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 21: I think one of the things I will say that
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 21: I'm proud of that I'm starting to see in our
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 21: culture it's more interest being, you know, placed on actually
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 21: the legitimate financial investments.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: You know. I think about what the young brother's doing.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: Are your leisure?
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 21: You know, I think about Willow and some of the
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 21: brothers I've been able to interact with, and I'm like, Yo,
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 21: that's that's a move right there, because it's still cool.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: At the end of the day.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 21: If it's really about making money, investments is a way
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 21: to make a lot of money, you know, And that's
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 21: the freedom that I even talk about in the books
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 21: like financial freedom. You know, how are you taking advantage
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 21: of these opportunities that's really right in front of you?
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 21: And you know, my philosophy is simple. I came from
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 21: nineteen years in prison, seven years in solitary confinement, to
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 21: becoming really really successful, not only as an author but
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 21: also as an investor. So my philosophy is like, if
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 21: I can do it coming from those circumstances, what excuse
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 21: you got?
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 21: So I tell my mentees, you got to take every
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 21: excuse off the table because I've done.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 2: All the hard work for you.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 21: And that's you know, That's what I've done in this
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 21: book is like, here's a framework and a blueprint for
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 21: you to literally live the freeest life possible.
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 8: Who's still kicking it with shot that's to go Up's
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 8: new book, How to Be Free, Approven God to Escaping
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 8: Life's Hidden Prisons.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 3: One of the biggest hitting prisoners I see is people,
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 3: you know, being defined by their past mistakes, are not
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 3: knowing how to let go of their past mistakes. So
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 3: how do you keep from being defined by your past
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 3: mistakes when the system is sometimes even your own people
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 3: want to keep you stuck there.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 2: Man, I stay out the comments section.
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 21: It's brutal out there, man. No, but but but really
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 21: it's a lot of self affirming care right. It's like
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 21: negative self talk is one of the biggest self imposed
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 21: prisons I've found where even successful people are doubting themselves
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 21: or you know, dealing with imposter syndrome, like why.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: Am I in this room? Do I really belong in
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 2: this room?
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 21: And so for me, you know, the way that I've
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 21: kind of mapped my life out is really through writing
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 21: it down. Like journalists, one of the greatest hacks in
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 21: life is like when you see it, you can be
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 21: super clear on Hey, here's who I actually am, not
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 21: who they say I am. I get judged all the time,
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 21: like why are you able to do some of these things?
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 21: You know, you went to pro I went to prison
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 21: for I'm a side. You know, it's one of the
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 21: most regrettable actions in my life, and it's something I
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 21: could never undo, which is why I'm so conscious about
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 21: talking to the young guys about the decisions that they
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 21: make and I've also lived fifteen years of freedom where
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 21: I've been able to create, you know, a lot of
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 21: value for communities that I'm in.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 2: I've invested in the community.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 21: In the real way, and so I've done way more
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 21: good than i've done bad. But the reality is people
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 21: are gonna bring that up. You know, they're gonna judge
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 21: you for that. And so that's why that self talk
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 21: is so important, and journaling and really writing it down
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 21: and getting super clear about who you are really is
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 21: what makes the world different.
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 3: Do you feel like trauma is the root of all
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 3: hidden prisons.
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 21: I think trauma is one of the core anchoring pieces
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 21: of the hidden prisons. You know, a lot of how
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 21: we see our lives has been shaped by our childhood,
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 21: and there's like big trauma and small trauma, right, but
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 21: I think it's really shaped by just negative experiences because
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 21: some don't quite rise to the level of trauma, but
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 21: they do rise to the level of like making you
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 21: think about something in a way that's unpleasant. And I
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 21: think that's where a lot of the negative self talk
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 21: comes from. Is like, you know, you're an environment s
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 21: might it's like, oh, you can't accomplish that, and now
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 21: you've adopted that's not necessarily trauma. It's just negative input.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 21: But now it has you questioned and whether you can
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 21: accomplish a thing or not. Right, And so I think
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 21: there's like the kind of big trauma, then there's like
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 21: this kind of small negative inputs.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 3: How do we use your new book How to Be Free,
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 3: to shift from telling young people, especially young brothers, to
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 3: do better to actually creating healing spaces that deal with
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 3: that trauma.
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 21: That's a great question. I think we saw a lot
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 21: of that yesterday when we was at Riker. So one
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 21: of the things that I've done with this book is
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 21: I started the largest book club in prisons. So we
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 21: gave the book away to thirteen hundred prisons, to about
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 21: a million people who are incarcerated, because I want to
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 21: make sure that they had access to this information and
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 21: this framework so that they can live the most free
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 21: life possible, even though their circumstances doesn't look look free.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 21: And I think what we do is we start study groups,
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 21: you know, we start to really have these deep conversations,
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 21: and like, it was mind blowing to see how the
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 21: people who are incarcerated leaned into this book. Specifically, they
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 21: had questions, they had thoughts, they had all these things
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 21: because we did create a real framework within the book
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 21: for them to kind of, you know, guide the conversation.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 21: And it was amazing, you know what I'm saying, to
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 21: really see how that played out. And I would love
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 21: to do that out here where we started to connect
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 21: the dots, you know, especially in our culture where it's
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 21: like it's wild sometime when I think about wrapping all
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 21: the things that they're rapping about, and I'm like, I
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 21: really lived that life, and but I may not be
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 21: the person that they see as being accessible because I'm
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 21: not over indexing on my past. I'm like, listen, I'm
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 21: living a whole different life and I want to bring
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 21: you to this part of it, not that old life,
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 21: you know what I mean. But I think this is
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 21: a book opportunity that you know, I would love to
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 21: see more brothers and sisters in the culture like starting
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 21: study groups and think tanks around this framework, because it
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 21: really is one of those problems and we don't have
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 21: nothing like it in our culture.
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 21: Like you know, when I was when I was set
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 21: out to write this particular book, I really was like, Man,
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 21: I thought about the books that helped me in my
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 21: life while I was incarcerated as a man, think of
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 21: the secret man searchs for meaning all these books and
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 21: I didn't see any book that was authored by somebody
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 21: who really had lived and experience that I had lived,
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 21: and so I was like, oh, it's up to me
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 21: to create that.
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 2: And that's how we ended up with this book.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 21: And shout out to my brother being Horowitz, who actually
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 21: encouraged me to write a lesson book which was really
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 21: powerful and and pathful.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 2: Is a desire to be accepted a hidden prisons? Oh? Absolutely, yeah.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 21: I think it's one of the one of the biggest
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 21: hidden prisons is that we're uh and it's really who
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 21: are you trying to be accepted by? And what do
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 21: you think that they have that you don't have inside yourself?
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 21: And I think when you when you begin to strengthen
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 21: your sense of who you are as a human being,
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 21: then you are draw to you what you need. But
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 21: you won't go out seeking acceptance from any and everybody.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 21: The book is out right now.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 3: And then inviting me the Rikers yesterday, man was climing
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 3: to me because I take the security of the king.
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 21: He took a security personnel in an environment I didn't
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 21: think about it eight thousand.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 2: Yo, it was wild. I don't practice bad It was
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 2: that weird.
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 5: I I was.
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 21: I was laughing the whole way as I was thinking
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 21: about what is going to happen when it's security walk
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 21: in and it's like literally hundreds of officers that are.
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 2: Armed, and I'm like, Charlimne, you're rolling in here with me? Man,
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 2: what are you doing?
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 3: You can't.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 2: I didn't even think about it. You good in any hood,
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 2: any prison. When you rolling with me, I.
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 3: Understand that I didn't the practice bad habits. You know
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 3: what I'm saying the movie, Yeah, that's right, but that
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 3: was stupid. And then just make he took his firearm
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 3: when he came. They made him say, and you know,
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 3: he used to be a cop. So I was like, Yo,
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 3: you ever wanted to be a CEO Riker.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 2: He was like, he's also doing your XBO Yeah no,
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 2: not this this year. I'm a Missing Man's I've done
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 2: it a couple of years. Man.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 21: It's one of the best best experience. So I really
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 21: encourage everybody to go check it out. And we're gonna
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 21: do one on Rikers Island. Gonna make that happen.
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 3: But you know, I'm glad you did bring that up, though,
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 3: because even though Shaka is not doing it this year,
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 3: the years he's done it, it was such an important
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 3: It was so important to have you there as well
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 3: as Wallow because to your point, every year that we
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 3: did it, there was always people there who had either
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 3: just got out of prison or got people who are
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 3: in prison right now and we don't understand how that
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 3: impacts their mental especially brothers that just came home. It's
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 3: still institutionalized, and they were people like literally saying you,
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 3: y'all need to add this component to the mental wealth
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 3: XBO because those are the people that are dealing with it.
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 2: Absolutely absolutely, and I'll definitely be there next year.
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 21: I'm so sad to be missing this one, but I'm
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 21: super excited to be out on tour with the book
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 21: and celebrating.
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 21: This book number three. Man, So this is it's actually
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 21: so real. You know, to to and you know you've
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 21: written books. You know how hard it is to get
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 21: a book, book up, book out in the world. So
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 21: super a few weeks ago.
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 3: Man, So y'all you have your hand braided.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 21: On you know, you know, the wild thing about about
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 21: the relationship with Oprah's we're genuinely friends, man. And like
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 21: when I when I first wrote my book, I don't
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 21: know if I told you the story, but I wrote
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 21: my first book in solitary and I was like, Yo,
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 21: anybody want to read this book? And the guy was like, man,
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 21: it ain't open. Don't nobody want to read this? And
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 21: I was like, damn. I was like that was cold.
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 2: But then I wrote it down.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 21: As a goal, opened and read three of my books
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 21: and invited me to her home multiple times.
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 3: And said that you were her greatest interview ever. Imagine
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 3: open saying that about you, just my greatest interview ever.
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, yeah, And then we became real friends. Man.
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 21: So that's that's my girl. And I shout her out
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 21: all the time and she always reaches out show. I'm
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 21: sure she'll be like Congrand's on pub day, shaka, you know.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 21: So she's genuinely she's who she said she is.

• 1:30:27
  Speaker 21: name absolutely and I drunk all three of them. Jesus

• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: breakfast Club.
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 7: Talk to me.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 5: So yesterday, yeah, I saw with this.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 14: Yesterday I went to Harlem Fashion Harlem's Fashion Rose kick
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 14: off to New York Fashion Week. It was a mini
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 14: fashion show, but there were It was also the Style
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 14: Awards and they honored Ruth E. Carter a ton of
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 14: different people, but they also took the time to honor Usher.
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 14: He received the Virtual Ablow Award, which was a huge award.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 5: Of the evening. Let's take a listen to Usher as
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 5: he accepts the award.
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 17: It's a philosophy that, believe it or not, I don't
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 17: know that I meant to adopt it, but Oragel had
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 17: the sid you got your three and that innovation really
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 17: starts altering something that is familiar three percent. So that
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 17: right there became kind of a model for how I
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 17: use what I was introducing again, what I introduced with
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 17: what many of the people in my team called my
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 17: ambition of just looking up while they look right in
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 17: this and always have my best interest in my back.
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 2: I just dream and I see something that I think
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 2: is a little bit better. Yeah.
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 14: So the reason why this award is saw on pack
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 14: polls because Harlem's Fashion Row for years now and they've
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 14: grown into such a big business and big company. They've
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 14: been spotlighting black artists, creatives, influencers, just people who are black.
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 14: And you know, when it comes to fashion people always
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 14: say we need to have a seat at the table.
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 14: Their thing has always been, we don't need to see
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 14: at the table. We're building the table, so I can
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 14: come because this is the table. And they spotlight the
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 14: Usher because of all the strides that used to made
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 14: the music. But Virtual Ablow, as we know, was such
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 14: a big force in fashion as a black creative. So
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 14: they honor him with this award now and Usher received it.
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 14: But one of the things, uh, that was big that
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 14: Usher talked about wash why it meant so much to
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 14: him to.
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 5: Receive the award in Virgil's name and Virgil's three percent rule.
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 5: Let's say to listen to that.
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 17: My pop, my nanny, my nanny nanny, my aunt Holly,
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 17: and Uncle George and all of these people who were really.
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 2: Significant parts of my ambitions. Tenacious little kid who.
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 17: Wasn't raised with the father, but they taught me to dream,
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 17: They taught me to run a wild and use my
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 17: imagination in fashion and all of those things. And although
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 17: I didn't know that's what I was doing, I found
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 17: by being around them understanding the culture of the.
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 2: South, and you know what it is to be proud
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 2: of something.
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 4: I'm happy that the Lord has an evenmedience.
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 7: Opportunity to do what I do.
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 17: I recognize him over more than anything for being saving.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 5: To me and my heartest moments time that switched to Artie.
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 14: Oh sorry y'all, but yeah, so us you're talking about
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 14: the South Andy and what this ment in him was
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 14: also important too because they talked a lot about HBCUs
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 14: and you guys know, I was just at Dell State
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 14: yesterday and how in the South, but also just you

• 1:34:16
  Speaker 14: which Harlem's Fashion Road is doing a lot of. They

  Speaker 2: So Ronkluz BOMs for Usher.
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 3: Usher can't never get enough flowers if you asked me,
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 3: that man of the icon living And you know, when
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 3: people have achieved everything that you know, guys like USh
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 3: have achieved, they should be celebrated.
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 14: Oh yeah, often every chance they gave, every single chance
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 14: they get. And I think it's fired too, because he's
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 14: been supporting this organization before it was even a huge
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 14: organization to support, which always means a lot now shifting gears.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 14: Speaking of creators, Ky Sinett, guys, remember he reviewed Drake.
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 2: I'm glad that we're finally saying his name right.
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 14: For so long, I know, and i'd be trying to
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 14: sometimes I still slip up and do it, but then
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 14: I try to make sure I don't. But yeah, we've
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 14: been saying for a very long time. But Kay Sinet,
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 14: he's responding to Drake. So Drake posted Kay Senet's top
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 14: of his head right ahead. Yeah it was his forehead,
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 14: but more so it was the fact that he has
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 14: dreads with a low cut. So there's this photo posting online.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 14: Make sure you guys go take a look at it
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 14: interval so you can see that as well that Drake
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 14: posted on his like swipe through and Kai's hair is
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 14: like low in the middle, but then he has dreads
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 14: coming out the side and he sees this. And this
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 14: is because remember Kai got on stream and said he
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 14: felt like the Iceman Part three episode was trash.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 5: He's been a huge Drake fan.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 3: That we know of.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 2: So this is Drake.
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 3: Because you're a fan of somebody when they put out
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 3: something that's whack, you can't say it's trash.
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 5: And you can't be honest, not these days.
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 8: I mean now, oh you're a drink had No, you
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 8: should be able to say if I like a record,
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 8: off I don't like a record, I'm still a fan
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 8: of that artist.
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 2: I just don't like that song.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 14: Yes, I do think people were called him a Drake hater,
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 14: but I think it's ka. But Kai is always very
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 14: like neutral. If he likes something, he like it. If
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 14: he don't, he don't, and whatever. But his response to
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 14: Drake posting him in response to him responding to Drake
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 14: was funny.
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 5: Let's say, listen to Kai.
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 7: Why would he post this up?
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 3: Drake? I'm calling him right now.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 5: I'm so like that.
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 2: I'm calling him right now.
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 7: I haven't supposed to him for so long.
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 5: It's not your calling forward.
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 2: I don't be for Drake, But why is he posting
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 2: my like this?
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 5: Come on?
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 2: That's why even think bodies it don't matter.
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 1: People already see the picture and be like, wow, this
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 1: is a retwist and never even know where after they
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 1: see this, bro, they don't.
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 2: Know why you didn't have to reach get a retwist
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 2: because it was work.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 5: It was funny. You got to see the picture, did
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 5: you do you?
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 14: It was fun because right, Jess, thank you for the
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 14: face because if you listen, you know it's funny. And
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 14: his friend is sitting next to him trying to make
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 14: him feel better, but low Ki, he's making her feel worse.
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 8: He called Drake first, ran international. Drake didn't answer, so
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 8: somebody on the chest to call him FaceTime, so he
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 8: FaceTime audio.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 2: He still didn't ancy yet.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 3: All I know is I know that hurt Drake's soul
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 3: because Drake want the validation that them young stream is
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 3: so bad. So you got one of the biggest guys
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 3: Kai Sette saying that Iceman was trash. Oh I know
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 3: that ice melted quicker.
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 2: I don't. I don't understand it.
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 8: You're an artist, right, You're gonna put out a lot
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 8: of records and everybody's not gonna connect with he.
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 3: Told us a long time ago, just because you're you're
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 3: an artist, and I'm sensitive about but.
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 2: I love you as an artist. I just don't like
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 2: this record.
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 14: But why can't this just be Drake just responding he
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 14: ain't blocked. Kai said he wasn't blocked right, And then.
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 6: To be honest with you, I thought it was like
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 6: some type of promo. Maybe Drake will end up on
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 6: the marathon that Kay is probably that would be sorry
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 6: was that?
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 12: You know?
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 5: It just does the same delicious, nothing crazy, just.
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 2: That would be.
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 3: Surprised promote Nakai and Drake scream. It seemed like, oh yeah,
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 3: that never happened.
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 5: It doesn't happen, so we'll see what happens.
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 14: But I also too wanted to talk about Marlon Wayne's
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 14: on Kyson stream hilarious. Oh my god, I love to
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 14: watch the marrying of the two. He is m VP
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 14: of Mafia done. In my opinion, here, there are so
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 14: many different moments we could have pulled from this that
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 14: were hilarious. But let's take a listen to Uh they
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 14: were freestyling. It was Reggie and Marlon Wayn's going back
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 14: front of.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 7: I touched it on a thigh, cry do this Sydney streets.
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 2: That's who send them red.
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 3: You know why people like Marlon Wayns and Kevin Hart
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 3: going there and actually Keki Palma going there and actually
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 3: do well, because they got talent, because they're funny, because
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 3: they've been in movies, they've been on TV, and they've
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 3: been doing this for a long, long, long, long, long,
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 3: long long time.
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 14: And also to think when you see regular guests, like
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 14: other music artists come, even though they watch the stream
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 14: and they know the segments guy is going to do,
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 14: they always act like they don't know how to jump
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 14: in and participate.
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 5: Marlin, they come from the Variety show.
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 6: It was the best wis thus far. Now he had
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 6: other bomb guests and all of that. Yeah, like Marlon
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 6: is just just belongs to right, you know what I mean?
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 5: Like that was so funny.
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 6: I do think it was rather random how Marlon was
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 6: there with Kaylani, Like kay Lanny came in.
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 5: I thought that Marlon was there. I thought that was
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 5: random as well.
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 3: And also to those artists and athletes can't do what
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 3: the actors and comedians do, like but an artists ain't
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 3: gonna never be on the level of talent as a
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 3: Marlin Kevin Palmer the artist think you could rap and sing, dance.
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 5: Like if in living color could meet stream like it was.
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 5: It was really good. It was I watch it, Yeah, right, like.
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 6: You said, if the Living Color could have met streamed,
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 6: that would be funny.
