• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I want to address something that Charlomagne did last week.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: But Donkey of the Day, grand he get brother, my
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: brother and all families are from the same area. Soft Calinda,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: by the way, shout out to Walter bro But um,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: what I wanted to say is you gave Dunkey the
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Day to the cast me out girl. Well to Atlantic
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Records for giving her a record deal. Yes, and I
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: feel you on that because the only Jay called record
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: deal we all know because she had her fifteen minutes
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: and she's extending it for half an hour. But I'm
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: not a Cardi b fan. I would be Cardi be
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: fan when she was on Love and Hip Hop because
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: her personality was I redo Rosie Perez from the nineties.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: That's my opinion. I know, I'm I stand alone in
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: many areas with that. That's not a God is amazing. Yeah,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Rogie Perez's phenomenal. She was a phenomenal dancer before jay
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Loo came in equipsed her. But what I'm saying is
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: the same way cash Me Our Girl got a record
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: deal because kind of how it Cardie B is cashing
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: in on her face. I can't agree with that, my brother,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: because you look out cash Me our Girl got introduced
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: to the game. She got introduced by disrespecting doctor Phil.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: So we're rewarding on the bad behavior. He says nasty
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: things about people all the time on social media, and
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: he gets rewarded for being a nasty is actually funny
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Cardi B. Cardi B came to notoriety by being over
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: the top on love and hip hop, and I know
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: that before that, card to be at four million five
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: million follows on Instagram by being funny on Instagram, giving
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: positive messages in a ratchet way and doing sketches like
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: she was always money. She was always showcasing a different attack.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: But that's kind of pooling my point though, that her
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: personality is what God has a deal because it was
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: her personality on Instagram. It was her personality on loving.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: We're talking about rewoiding negativity. Yeah, cast me out girl,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: don't have a personality. She's just a bad, a terrible.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: But let's be honest, cast me out girl, she's gonna
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: flame out. Nobody's gonna buy that crap, I know. Then again,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: but then again, and this is me because I'm from
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: the golden l of hip hop. Some people might buy
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: it because I don't like ninety percent of the new
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: autist because they're not going away. I used to buy
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: all envies mixed cvs before I moved here to Atlanta
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: from Brooklyn, and and I respect envy critique cards. A
• 9:55

  Speaker 1: right out their own style. So you know, I think
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: it's an amazing time for music and to be a
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: talented artist. It's like the wave is really changing and
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: people care now. Lys I feel like with female mcs,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: like people can say that like it can only be
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: one at a time, like you see it. Why is that?
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: I think I don't know what happened, like because it
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: didn't start like that when you had mc lyon and
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Queen Latifa and Missy and Lauren Kim and Foxy. It
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: seemed like right after Lauren, like around the late nineties
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: early two thousands, it became this thing where there can
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: only be one. But you think, so Laurence at the
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: bar extremely high man. Maybe uh that might Yeah. I
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: don't really know what happened though, But it also even
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: MC don't they don't really female. She doesn't really rock
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: with each other. Like I'm listening to Cardi D's remix
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, it'd be dope if they put
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: a bunch of females on it. I'm like, but they
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: don't really don't mess with each other like that, like
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: you know, well, no, I don't know about that. Some
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: people do support each other. I think sometimes the beef
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: is because the industry creates that and the and the
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: fans create that. They always act like you have to
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: choose a side. Yeah, you have to pick a side,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: get it all the time. When you're gonna go at
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: such and such, I'm like, well, I gotta do that,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Like you don't do that with the guys. Guys work
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: with each other all the time. They compete, but at
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: the same time, they respect each other. And I think,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's reality show that has something
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: to do with people are just really in tune with
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: drama nowadays and that's what they want. And you know,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: I'm like, we there's room for everybody at the same time,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: so you know, it's just amazing. I think rapper is though,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Like when I listen to you, I don't hear a
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: female rapper. I'm just like, she's just dope. Same thing
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: with things I listen to things, She's just just dope.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Like I That's when I know when a female MC
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: is like, well, can't just be an MC Like Doctor
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: J said, you're his favorite female MC, but why can't
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: it just be one of my favorite MCDs? Right, It's like, yeah,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm a woman at the end of the day.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: It's it's just dope or not dope, you know what
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. Like I tell people, it's not like sports,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: like we are physically very different, like you could probably
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: jump hi, are you stronger than me? But when it
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: comes to oh you see he's Carolina, guys, exactly, we
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: got magical powers fifty seven inch vertically about this bitch, right,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you we gotta have to go to the
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: court and see this more previously previously exactly. See you
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: know it ain't like spun over here. But you know
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: when it comes to these lyrics and being an artist's
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: all up here creativity, and I think it's an even
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: playing field, right, And it's not like we're rapping about
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: having that period is exactly, but no, but some women
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: do and that's when, Yeah, it's honest, like come on,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: let's like think about when you're in the club and
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Little Kim record dropping that beat, but then you're here
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: used to be scared, you kind of check it out,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: you try to check it out. I remember, not mind anyway,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: North Carolina historically has always had some great mcas though,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: which people don't expectcause it's south of the Mason Dixie,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: like like you have Fontaine Pool, Jake, Josie Move. You
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, like, like why why doesn't know?
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Can I get the recognition for lyrics lyrics like like
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: they should? Man, Honestly, that's a hard question to answer,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Like I'm trying to figure that out myself, Like I
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: don't know if it's because it's like not a major city,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: like it's not a big New York or LA or Chicago. Um,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: you know. But also when you go home, you don't
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: hear North Carolina artists on the radio. Yeah, you don't
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: get that support, So that definitely has something to do
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: with it. Like just people home support and Homie they
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: don't even they gotta serve for home really hard. And
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: for the people that work nine to five and have kids,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: they don't have time to search, so you know, they
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: missed out on all this talent that's right in their backyard.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: So you know, I think that has something to do
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: with it. All Right, We got more with Rahpsody when
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: we come back, don't Move. It's the Breakfast Club, Good Morning,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: the guy we are The Breakfast Club. Rhapsody is in
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: the building female MC she gets busy yee. Do you
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: think about songs on the radio when you did your album,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: because you said you had eighty songs recorded, did you say, Okay,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: this actually would sound good. Did you think about that
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: at all? I think after the record was done and
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: we narrated down to fourteen, we went through a listen
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: and then it was like, this one could work. You know,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: there's one called Sassy that could work. It could have
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: a place going into it. You know. I didn't think
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: about it as much. If anything, I experimented on you know,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: there was a period where it's like, let me not
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: be so lyrical and you know, play with lady and yeah,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: just to just to have fun yeah um, you know,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: but not lose myself at the same time. Like it
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: was more of me really pushing myself to figure out
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: like how can I fit into this space, but at
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: the same time still be myself. No, No, Chrome was
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: I thought Chrome was not lyrical, like that was easy. Fassy,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: I think was to push and pay up. You know,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: those were the were to push it. And there are
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: a few more that you know beat wise too. People
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: wouldn't expect me to wrap on that didn't make the album,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: but we haven't the vote. So I just went in
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: and just really didn't box myself and it's just like
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go in here and have fun and see
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: what happens. Like even with Sassy, like I have so
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: much respect for people like me goos and because there's
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: a science to making radio records, to making something simple
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: that people can easily like, there's a science to that
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: get mess they say hypnotic. My thing is lyricism, Like
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: that's that's my science. So it's just like, yo, how
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: can I figure out this hook? So with Sassy, I
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: was like, I'm I had heard that. I can't remember
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: what artists, but I heard that they go in and
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: freestyle a lot of time. It was like they all,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: I say they do that. It was since they heard
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Jay and Biggs. They and it kind of works and
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: it makes it like real catchy because it's just natural.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: So with the hook for Sassy, I tried that and
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: it kind of worked like that, and I was like, okay,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: you know, and I never did before, no, no, no,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: but I went and definitely have fun with on chrome.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: You say dangerous to measure a man by the side
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: of this, can you explain here's a small penis. So
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: he really about his penis size old day every day
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: on the radio and how small it is. But it's
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: seven inches three four eight when it's woman. It has
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with the question. Okay, yeah, all right,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: cock size is that Let's go with the feat side.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: What's I sure you where does that? Okay? Yeah, that's
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: that's kind of too with what he's saying. I'm not
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: gonna go there, but um, it's you know, men like this,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: you know, swing that thing around. But it's not about
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: you know, I think size as far as you know,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: your fame and your money, as what makes you the man.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: I think it's you know, how you're a leader. You
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: know what kind of what's what's what's the metal of you?
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: What's your loyalty? Like, what's your respect like to other
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: men and to women? That's what makes you a man.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Like I think about Jay for example, and you know,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: I just look at how he leads into people that
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: he brings up with him, Like that's what I respect.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Like Jay brings people with him. I look at rock
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Nation out how he's built that and how he supports
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: puff with so Iroq, and he won't have a white
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: liquor because he don't want to compete, Like, those are
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: the things you respect about people, not his size, not
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: his side. I mean he has wrapped about the side
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: of his like a baby arm. He's like, you did
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: say that, So he's got the best of both works.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna lead at the met don't know how did
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: you hook up with ninfe one it because I'm sure
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: there's a million and one of MSCs, like how did
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: you get his air? And how did you get the
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: rock Nation? How anybody that meet's ninth they know, like
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: how humble he is is like if you see him
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: walking down the street, you can easily stop him and
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: he'll have a conversation with you if he has a time.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: So with me, Um, I was in college with a
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: group of friends and somebody you know that was in
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: my group had met him and asked him, you know,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: to come Shadow Beats same as fully and Um you
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: know he had been working with him for a while.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: He was like, well, you know, I got a crew,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: come meet my crew. And nine was like okay, And
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: it was about twenty of us in a in an
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: old house in North Carolina, you know, the college college
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: kids ran out. Um in this one room and he
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: just came by and talk to us about the business,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: you know, about menstrual show, and he listened to our
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: music and that's that's how it all started. He looked
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: at me said you're a star, and that was it.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: That was it. Now, how did you and Kendrick becoming
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: so because he's done times for you, he's on this
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: new album and you were also wanting to Pimpa Butterfly,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: I think you might have got Kendrick on this one.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: I ain't gonlying Kendrick versus Phenomenal. I'm telling you on
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: power Kendrick Versus Phenomenal. But I was like I rewinded
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Joe Brosus back a couple of times questions about this record.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: But did that relationship flourish? Just out of respect for
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: one another? Um we met them, I want to say
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: it was like twenty ten Um. You know, first of all,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: they grew up on Little Brothers, so they were like
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: wonder fans you know of gate Um, and we were
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: just in love with their music. Like I think the
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: first project I got on was overly dedicated, like that
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: was my first introduction. So at the first time, you know,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: they were just in North Carolina. They came by the
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: studio and we didn't even do music, like we chilled.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: We went to cookout. I got a five dollar trade.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Yeah, I was like, I mean,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: you know, if Carolina, we gotta take you by absolutely.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: So it was just a thing like that, Like you know,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: we respected each other as artists and people, and um
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: you know, we just continue to build on that and
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: send music back and forth, and we just created this relationship.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: It's easy. We respect each other, you know, and it's
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: just that easy. That's what it is. Now. Your two
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: verses on power phenomenal? Did you send those to Kendrick
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: and didn't lay his vocals? I did? I sent him.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: I sent him five records. He's gonna get one. I
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: didn't know. He's not like that anybody. I definitely gave
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: him some options because he's so versatile. You never know
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: what kind of space he's in. Um So I was
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: just like, I'm gonna send these five. You see, if
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: you hear something you like. I appreciate the blessings. So
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: you know, Power was one of them, and you should
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: know what's the other. He just didn't have time to
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: get to. You should know, but that's why he went
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: so crazy on power because your verses on that song phenomenal.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: So I'm like he went crazy like Jamaican accent, like
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Kendrick really all right, well, let's get into raps of
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: these joints right now. Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Ye, Charlomagne,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: the guy we are the Breakfast Club Rhapsody is in
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: the building, Charlomagne. Like what is power to you? Though?
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Like power man, power to me is for one, I
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: think knowing who you are first, you got to know yourself,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: you know, before you know what to do with your
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: own power, you gotta love yourself, you know, respect, you know,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: as power as women bringing life into this world. Some
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: people put power in money. That's never been my thing,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: but I think, you know, people are gonna find power
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: in different things. Some people put power in God, you know.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: So power comes in different forms, and I think that's
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: what the record is about, Like what do you what
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: do you take then and give your time to put
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: power and energy into Some of it is negative and
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: some things a positive that can really build from you.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: So that was just the whole idea of the record. Like,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: you know, as a woman and I think it's powerful
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: that I'm a woman. I could bring life into this world.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: And you know, people like to say women are emotional,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: but that's also powerful. I can connect with you on
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: a whole another level that sometimes men don't tap unto.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: They can't connect with um. You know that's that's power
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: to me, you know, just recognizing what is what is
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: your power? Now? You mentioned Kendrick and you mentioned whole earlier.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Who is your favorite MC? Who did you grow up
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: listening to? Oh? Lauren and jay Z equally equally had
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: the biggest influence on me. Lauren, you know, one because
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: she was a female and she was so versatile and
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: she was out rapping guys, best rapper in a group
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: of two guys, and I'm like, shout out the pride
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: ghetto superstar still baby, but she barred you up. I'm
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: just gonna say, but um, but it was it was
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: dope too because she was a tomboy and I could
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: relate that I was. I was a tomboy, but with
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: miss education too, she could flip it and also be like, yeah,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: I have a beautiful body too. Like there was this
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: beautiful balance and honesty and Lauren music that I love
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: and you think about lost ones. You know, she she
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: talked about it from a male and a female perspective,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: So it's just like, you know, I'm touching on everything.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Everybody's gonna be able to relate because I hear a
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: lot of times like gods say I can't relate to
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: a female rapper, Like that's not true. I listen to
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: your music and I'm not a man, right, exactly like
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: X Factor that song, I think everybody that has to
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: this day, right, and even hate that. I mean I
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: hated it because my mom just was going through a
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: divorce with my father and she would play that record
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: over and that is that's what I got older, Like,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: when I got older, I realized, like I can't stand
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: this record because I realized that I thought she was
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: just cool back in the day, playing Lauren Hill like
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: she was in pain. Yeah, so I get that's what
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: music though. You attach it to a memory, That's what
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: it's supposed to do. But yeah, that it was Lauren
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: And even I read Dacoda and Jay talks about how
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: much Miseducation influenced him. So I just thought that was
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: really dope, Like that a woman, you know, influence you
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: like that um. And then Jay just for the lyricism,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: like his wordplay, what he does with metaphors. Um, he's
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: to go. Man, what do you think of his last albums?
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: I love him so personal? How do you feel about
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: being really personal? Like is this new album as far
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: as you are? You because I haven't heard it yet
• 28:19

  Speaker 1: jump over the bridge again. I'm like, yo, calm down.
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: So I'm like holding her you know what I'm saying,
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: and an old man run up like you gotta stop.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: She kicked him in the chest bow he fall on
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: the ground finally, and he's like somebody called the police.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: A police come. And that's just a real messed up
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: part about it because when the police got there, the
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: first couple of officers were you know, helpful, trying to
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: like subdue and calm her down. But then they saw
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: her wrestling, and some other cops from a distance just
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: saw tussle, so they didn't ask no questions. They didn't
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: tough guy, you know, just not compassionate at all. And
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: it was it was an ugly scene, but you know,
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: hopefully you know she's good lucky because as you a
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: man wrestling with hue blood all over you. Yeah, I
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: didn't get no blood on you. Was you was domestic
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: violence right there right now. I didn't get no blood out.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: It was like it was a weird like I was
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: really just trying to keep her from jumping. Man, it was,
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: I hope, so man, like please, if you if if
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: you listen to this man, hit me up. I have
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: no idea you gotta save about lacre, yo. It was
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: why all right, we got More with Lacre. When we
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: come back to do Move. It's a breakfast club. Come
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: More Corning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: We are the breakfast club. We have LACREI in the building. Charlomagne.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: You know that's how I know you're a really decent
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: human being. Because I was actually listening to Oprah's Super
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: Soul podcast this morning. Yeah guy who she had on there,
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: But they were talking about how the essence of life,
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: the essence of being human, is realizing other people's pain
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: and coming to the aid of others who are in pain.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean, no matter who who, no
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: matter who the person is, what their background is, what
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: they do. You just saw a human being in paid
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: and you reacted, Oh yeah, absolutely. I can't even imagine,
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: Like I'll just be thinking to myself, like because I
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: went through a lot of you know, suicidal feelings and thoughts,
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: you know, through twenty sixteen too, So I can only
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: imagine because I mean, just all of the you know,
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: it's it's the trauma from watching people murdered on television consistently,
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: and then just all just so many other things too.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: I had It was a you got a gun point
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: on you by a police officer too, it did? You
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: got all the ever think that you, of all people,
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: would have sooner seems like you're the closest to to
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: to God. Yeah, much as you read. But I'm a
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: real one on man, I don't mind being real. I
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: think that's the problem is that it's this misconception that like,
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: you know, uh, you know, God's people are these picture
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: perfect folks. You know what I'm saying. If anything, we're
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: the most we should be the most vulnerable, the most
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: who are like, listen, I know I'm jacked up. I
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: know I need God. I don't. I don't claim to
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: have it all together. So for me, you know, it
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: wasn't like I had a knife to my neck, but
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: it was just like, man, I'm just tired, you know
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I'm just tired of all the nonsense.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: And it's it's not like I was like, all I'm
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: about to do this, Because when you stop and think about,
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: like anybody who's ever considering suicide, I always think about
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: who's gonna find your body? You know what I'm saying.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be your kids, It's gonna be you know
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: your love, when's your mamma, somebody got it's gonna face
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: the trauma seeing your body land somewhere on the ground.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: So I don't ever, ever, like always consider that. But
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: long story short, I just went through so much and
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: then and then just all the scrutiny and when your whole,
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: when you start mixing faith and all that stuff into
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: it and just get real ugly and weird and twisted.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: I you know, I see understand. I'm just saying because remember,
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: at one point in my life I thought about suicide.
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: And it was when I was doing youth ministry at
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: Muhammed Moss and number thirty eight in Columbia, South Carolina.
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: I was really trying to be on the righteous path.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: And I had him a nag tie with these two chicks,
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: so seriously, I got drunk, had them talk so bad.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, man, I didn't he disobeyed God,
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: So y'all didn't got shook. But what got you at
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: that dog place? You at the dog plays? What got
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: you out of it? Obviously cliche is God? But I
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: got three really good friends men shout out to b
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: j at Tadashi man who just held me down. And
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: they wasn't trying to fix me. They just was trying
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: to face me. Everybody be trying to fix you know,
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: you're like, damn, I'm tired of it. You know, you're
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: talking real sideways, you're talking outside of your neck time.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: And they don't say, you know, brother, you need to
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: you know, think on the right right way. They were
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: just like, I feel you, bro. You know what I'm saying.
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: I feel you. You know, keep keep talking, like let's
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: keep wrestling through it. And yeah, and sometimes that's what
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: we need. And you also feel like in the church
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: they should have something to do with the politics of
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: everything that's happening today. Oh yeah, that's that's really what
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: what what God had popped off for me was like
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: the silence, and you know a lot of people look
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: at me and like, oh, you love God. So it's
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: the whole Like and I've had this conversation a million times,
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: but like, you know, me, loving God doesn't doesn't make me,
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: you know, uh, a conservative, Republican or whatever. You know
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And I think that's the mentality people
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: like like, stop talking about politics. I'm like, I'm talking
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: about tame or Rice. That's a person that ain't politics.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like, what are you talking
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: about that? So that isn't vocal enough about situations like
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: that you feel? I mean, by and large, I think
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: that you know, a lot of people have been vocal.
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: A lot of people have done a lot of great stuff.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: You know, shout out to like Pastor McCamy in uh
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: in the Bay Area. Who's who's been real vocal about
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: a lot of stuff. It's been a lot of vocal people.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you know, it was really folks who
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: their faith is connected to patriotism and nationalism. Mine is not.
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like right, Like I don't
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: like God. I don't God ain't here to to save America,
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: you to save the world, you know what I'm saying.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: So that's my whole thing is like I'm I'm not
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: anti American, but I'm not like my faith and patriotism
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: and I'm not I don't believe all that type of
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: weird stuff. So that's what got me in a lot
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: of tension. That's why I love when natural disasters happened.
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: I hate when they happened for the obvious reasons. Yeah,
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: but I love when they happen because it shows us
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: that there's something bigger than us' is not prejudiced. You
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: don't care what you what political party, is your racist gender, sexuality?
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: Nothing coming and get you boy, trees falling everything. It's
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: a problem for people that don't know because I can't
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: remember what got you in the Christian rep. I can't remember.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: I know you used to sell drugs and you said
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: you were broke, Like what made you say? You know what?
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: I'm not turning that way anymore. Um, young lady who
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: was having sex with the church, that's your story, that's
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: not one that's in the movie version. No, for real,
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: For me, it was I'm a product of hip hop,
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: so I'm a hip hop kid. I didn't grow up
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: in church. I didn't know church lingo. I still don't know.
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know when you raise your hand, shout, scream,
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know all that stuff. But I really did
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: have a real encounter with God. And that's something I
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: can't deny. You know what I'm saying, Like I met
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: Jesus and my life really was transformed. And so where'd
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: you meet him? Like and like I shook his hand?
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: But but everybody had Nah, But for me. So I
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: was in that. So this is real life. I'm in Atlanta.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: I get invited to this conference and um, I see people.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: It's Christians and I don't know, I'm like Christians away
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: at yeah, I've been rapping all of that whatever. Yeah,
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: just yeah, yeah. So I see these Christians and I'm like,
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: I thought Christians was supposed to be. I wasn't no
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: gangster type of dude. I was just a you know,
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: young dude trying to make it in life, you know
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: if you feel me. So uh, but I see these
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: Christians and I thought They're supposed to be suit and
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: tied and all like hey, brother lest in a Holly
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: favorite and it was just regular dudes. They looked like
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: everybody sitting in this room. So I'm like, Yo, these
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: are regular people, Like what's going on? You know, hats
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: to the back of the whole nine and um. And
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: it was a group of dudes from Philly called Cross
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: Movement and it was like a Christian rap group, but
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: they was raw. They was like from the hood in Philly,
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: and I was like, Yo, what is this And just
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: being exposed to that helped me say like, oh, like
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: it ain't just you know, like the bishop in the
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: whole nine like, it's different variations of this. So then
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: I just heard a message and the pastor was preaching
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: this message and he was talking to me and saying like,
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: don't you call Jesus no pump like you rough knicks,
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: like you know what I'm saying, Like he was this,
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: and I was like, yo, I never heard nothing like
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: this before. So it just it flipped my brain and
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: just made me say, yo, I like I can be different.
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: I could be changed. So that was the breaking point
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: for me. I'm not saying I was changed overnight, but
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: it But from then all my raps sounded different. I
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: wanted to talk about other issues and real stuff, you
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And that's really how it came about.
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: I didn't have no genre. It wasn't like I was like, Yo,
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: let's let's go gospel on. Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: It was just I was just changing what I was
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: talking about, and now it came out, you know what
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: I mean. Yeah, other artists you feel like you couldn't
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: work with because your fan base would be like, I
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: can't believe morally that he would do a song with
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: this person, nah, Because I mean, now, I think my
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: fans know me and they know what I'm about, and
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: so they know I'm I'm I'm I'm gonna be real
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: and yeah I'm a man of God or whatnot. But
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: at the same time, I'm gonna be real and I'm
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: gonna do what I what I feel like it's necessary artistically,
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So I work with anybody,
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: you know, it's just what are we gonna be talking about?
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like, I'm gonna work with anybody,
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: and I may just have to jump on a track
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: and put my little spin on it, you know what
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, I don't know how that works. It
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: ain't no rules to it, so to speak. Like everybody
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: trying to make rules for this, but it ain't rules.
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: To just follow what you believe is right, you know
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying and make good music. Do you think
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: the generation likes the spiritual foundation? America is so influenced
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: by Western thought, and Western thought is gradually becoming more
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: like anti God, you know what I'm saying, Like, I
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: don't believe in God, so but when you go to
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: the East, God is still a very huge part of
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: their culture. So you know, you go to Africa, you
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: go to China, what not. God is still it's a
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: big thing. But I feel like, you know, we get
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: real arrogant and like, look at everything we didn't done,
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: and so we move away. Having a conversation with one
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: of my white homeboys the other day, yeah, we're talking
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: about all of this, the natural disasters and climate change.
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: He's like, look, man, I don't care about the earth.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: You know, we should be putting this money into other places,
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: not climate change. And I'm like, you don't care about that.
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: So you're basically saying you don't care about God's turf,
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: and you don't care about your kids, your grandchildren. Are
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: you from the South. Yeah? We hunt to eat. Yeah,
