  Speaker 15: of First Day Out because it's it's a club staple
• 12:38
  Speaker 15: radio record, but you did it. So did you ever
• 12:42
  Speaker 15: think that you would be that man.

• 12:46
  Speaker 1: song that the reaction is like it came out yesterday.

• 13:05
  Speaker 1: be the car that drive the other content that I
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: put out.

• 13:13
  Speaker 9: about it like they put pressure on you to keep
• 13:15
  Speaker 9: making that level of music.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: No, because I don't see I don't look at it.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: I don't look at it like that. I look at
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: it as the blessing that it is, and I'm just
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: grateful for it. If anything else come, then it come.
• 13:25

• 14:16
  Speaker 1: were talking right now? We just be chopping it up. Now.
• 14:18
  Speaker 15: You got married pretty young. Most people say that's pretty young,
• 14:21
  Speaker 15: especially in this industry, twenty eight years old. How did
• 14:23
  Speaker 15: you know she was the one? You mentioned her twice
• 14:25
  Speaker 15: because I know you, I know you love We seen
• 14:26
  Speaker 15: on the wedding photos. How did you know she was
• 14:28
  Speaker 15: the one?
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: It's no such thing as somebody being the one you
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: know about to start the social media with that one. Listen,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: It's no such thing as somebody being the one.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: This takes effort. There gotta be something you want to do.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: You gotta be the one, you know what I'm saying.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: You gotta be the one that want to do it,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: because they don't propose you do? You feel me? This?
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: This's gotta be something you want. There's gotta be something
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: you want to do. There's gotta be something that you're
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: willing to stick with no matter what. And it's got
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: to be something you make a choice to put effort into.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: You feel me. I agree with that. I agree with that.
• 15:02
  Speaker 9: But she still gotta be special enough for you to
• 15:04
  Speaker 9: say this is what I want to spend the rest
• 15:05
  Speaker 9: of my life with.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, for sure. I mean everybody special, you
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: feel me. It's nobody out here that's that's not special
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: in their own way, don't I don't know.
• 15:20
  Speaker 13: But I like your take on that though, Like you
• 15:22
  Speaker 13: gotta be the one.
• 15:23
  Speaker 14: You gotta you know, because a lot of men always
• 15:25
  Speaker 14: put it on a woman like you know, she she
• 15:28
  Speaker 14: she was the one and she wasn't it. But you're
• 15:30
  Speaker 14: talking about the other side of it, which I appreciate
• 15:32
  Speaker 14: that we don't.
• 15:33
  Speaker 13: We don't hear that.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: For sure. For sure, you gotta you gotta want it,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: You gotta want it, definitely.
• 15:40
  Speaker 15: When did you realize what made you want to do
• 15:41
  Speaker 15: it at that particular moment, in that particular time.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: So this has always been a dream of mind. I
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: always knew I was gonna do this, you know what
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, because the household I grew up in was
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: it was a lot of dysfunction, you know, and I
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: knew that's not what I wanted. I know, I wanted
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: to have a two parent household because that's what I
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: wish I had, you know what I'm saying. I knew
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: I wanted to be married and carry myself a certain
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: way because that's what I wish I saw coming up.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: So growing up for me was a kind of like
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: a lot of what not to do, and that made
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: me want to do this.
• 16:12
  Speaker 9: That's breaking generational curses.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: My brother.
• 16:13
  Speaker 9: They said, if you come from a broken home, make
• 16:15
  Speaker 9: sure a broken home don't come from you.

• 16:51
  Speaker 1: couple of people I want to just shout out with that,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: my sister to her, we do certain things that kind
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: of heal traumas, you know, like sit down with certain
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: medicines and just get that stuff, release all that stuff.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Would you do? DMT shrooms.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Tell us about that experience.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Man, it was powerful, Man, it was super powerful.
• 17:14
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: It's it's something in us right that already knows what
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: to do with the medicine once it's inside you, and
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: it does exactly what it's supposed to do, you know
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And it just works perfectly. You know
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. The medicine is perfect for you. It's
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: kind of like a facial recognition on your phone. Once
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: you get inside your body and it just unlocked things.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: You feel me. And the thing about it is once
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: it teach, once you learn what it teaches you, or
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: once it show you whatever you need to see. Because
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: it works for everybody individually different ways. It's on you
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: to remember this stuff.
• 17:48
  Speaker 9: You did you de talk beforehand and like, because you
• 17:51
  Speaker 9: set your intention and all of that.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for sure we did it. It was very
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: ceremonial how we did it, you know what I'm saying.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Like it was a room that we was in. You
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: couldn't even bring certain technology devices in here. You couldn't
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: even step in here if you was in a certain
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: frequency light. Be super positive when you step in this room.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: We want to keep this energy a certain way.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: Did you poop envoment on yourself as well?
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: They said, that's that's no, that's that's that's what the
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: duck flower. I ain't did that one yet.
• 18:17
  Speaker 13: It's different kinds, different types to do.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it turned you onto it?
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Who turned me onto it? My wife turned me onto it? Really? Yeah,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: you can't do it with you at you No, but
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: she knew about it and she was like, we should
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: do this together. Did it make you anxious? No, it
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: ain't made me anxious at all. It just it just
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: it just made me like it just woke me up
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: to a lot of stuff. It woke me up to
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: not only how powerful we are, but how certain things
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: shouldn't even bother us, and how great life can be
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: once you see it a certain way. Did you see God? Yeah?
• 18:51
  Speaker 9: Everybody doesn't tell.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Me the Yeah for sure, thousand what it looked like.

• 19:15
  Speaker 1: an angeler And I asked like, well I can't hear

• 19:30
  Speaker 1: me up to God like like let's go see him,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: And you were having conversations like this while you were.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because I'm asking. I'm a person who asked a
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: lot of questions, so I'm asking a lot of questions.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Where we're going.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: What's that? You know what I'm saying.
• 19:44
  Speaker 9: People told me when you do it, it's not you
• 19:46
  Speaker 9: don't feel like high. It's like you're fully aware of
• 19:48
  Speaker 9: where you are, you someplace else.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Because it's it's not high. It's not high. It's like
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: imagine you going into like a body of water. You
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, And your purpose of going in
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: here is to come out with some u some knowledge,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So you're not getting eye as.
• 20:03
  Speaker 13: Long as you can't wait.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: For me like four. But for everybody it's different. Though.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: One thing about Ayawaska, it's not gonna let you go
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: into it's ready to let you go like you're gonna
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: get everything you need to get. Damn, you're not in
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: no type of control.
• 20:17
  Speaker 9: You did it for multiple days and just that we
• 20:19
  Speaker 9: did two days when you come down and did like okay,
• 20:23
  Speaker 9: you know it's just like done.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Like yeah, you know you out of it, really, you
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: know you're out of it?
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Could you do it again?
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: Oh?
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: This is a one time thing. This is something you
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: only do once.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: No, you do it again, you do it again.
• 20:33
  Speaker 13: But this is nothing that you It is not something
• 20:35
  Speaker 13: that you do like like I do shrewms all the time.
• 20:38
  Speaker 13: This is not something that you just do like that.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, yeah it ain't. It ain't nothing you
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: do recreational. You're not even gonna want to do it recreation,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: right because it's like that was deep, you know what
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. You're gonna face some stuff like that was powerful,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But see what with the
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: psilocide and like this s rooms and stuff like that.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: With that, do I feel like that's like a heart medicine.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: It just makes you like happy and make you you
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: able to smile at things stuff like that.
• 21:02
  Speaker 14: Yeah, But like even with my experience on you know,
• 21:05
  Speaker 14: the Silo simon, I've had like come to moments as
• 21:09
  Speaker 14: well even with that, So I would like to do
• 21:10
  Speaker 14: ioas I just don't feel like it's a time for
• 21:12
  Speaker 14: me yet because like to Charlomagne's point, you got you'll
• 21:15
  Speaker 14: know when you have to do it.
• 21:17
  Speaker 13: I'm excited to do it.
• 21:18
  Speaker 8: And I hear.
• 21:19
  Speaker 14: But I've had like some of the things that you're
• 21:22
  Speaker 14: talking about. I've had that with shrims, Like I've been
• 21:25
  Speaker 14: on shrooms and I've been my mother. I've been my
• 21:29
  Speaker 14: grandmother who's passed. I've been my little sister. I've been
• 21:32
  Speaker 14: my dad, and I could see generations and generations before me,
• 21:37
  Speaker 14: like stuff like that.
• 21:38
  Speaker 13: And that's only on shroms. So I can only imagine
• 21:41
  Speaker 13: how the I is.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, No, that's deep. That's deep. Even what they say.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: You go through generations of people and you can heal
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: like generational traumas through the medicine. Yeah.
• 21:50
  Speaker 9: Yeah, you did a therapy too, like any just regular
• 21:52
  Speaker 9: therapy sitting down.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: With a psychiatrist or no, I ain't did that. I
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: ain't did that. So everything has been plant based you. Yeah,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: that's dope, man, that's dope. That was the last question.
• 22:04
  Speaker 15: So when you when you do go through the ceremony,
• 22:06
  Speaker 15: are you sitting down, are you laying down? Are you
• 22:08
  Speaker 15: sitting in you know?
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: So for me, they made me sit up, like sit down,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: and for the women that was in the room, they
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: laid down. They gave me the option to lay down.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Though have you have you wanted that to reflect in
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: your music in any way yet It hasn't yet because
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: it ain't really the creat the creativity and music, and
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: that hasn't bridged it for me.
• 22:29
  Speaker 9: A lot of people tell me when they do it,
• 22:30
  Speaker 9: you know, the things that they experience, you may not
• 22:34
  Speaker 9: want to share. You know, they tell you to write
• 22:36
  Speaker 9: it down in a journal, but you probably wouldn't want
• 22:38
  Speaker 9: to share that with the world just yet.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Maybe yeah, yeah, I mean I ain't really It wasn't
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: really nothing that was worth sharing. And one thing I learned,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: like like how you say like people wouldn't want to
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: share certain things because they are shamed of it. Shame
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: was a big lesson when I was under the medicine,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, because just growing up I
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: always cared about like what people think and all that.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: One thing that the medicine talk is like, it is
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: nothing to ever be a shame though, because anything about you,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: you didn't ask for it, but it's perfect for you,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: so you should never feel shame.
• 23:06
  Speaker 15: Did you see anybody that that passed away. Did you
• 23:07
  Speaker 15: see your manager? Did you see pm B at the time.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: I didn't see them too, but I did see some
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: other people who passed away though, for sure.
• 23:15
  Speaker 13: Damn wow from the album now you'reascar.
• 23:18
  Speaker 9: That was good though, because he gave some healing tips.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: But you know what I mean.
• 23:21
  Speaker 9: But once again, you got to do it when it
• 23:23
  Speaker 9: calls you. That's not something you just say, Oh, I
• 23:25
  Speaker 9: need to go out there and heal. Like no, when
• 23:27
  Speaker 9: it calls you to it. And you got brought to
• 23:29
  Speaker 9: it by people that you trusted love, So that's a
• 23:31
  Speaker 9: whole different ball again.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Well the album Coney Island T's Coney Island is out

  Speaker 1: Is there another level? I don't know.
• 31:34
  Speaker 12: It's pretty hard to beat that one, and it's going
• 31:36
  Speaker 12: to be pretty hard to beat that number. So man,
• 31:39
  Speaker 12: I'm just I'm just really happy, blessed. You know, I
• 31:42
  Speaker 12: worked really hard in Las Vegas to tell a story
• 31:46
  Speaker 12: about my culture where I come from, and being able
• 31:49
  Speaker 12: to share that with the rest of the world, you know,
• 31:52
  Speaker 12: was really a monumental moment in my career, in my life.
• 31:56
  Speaker 12: You know, I've said many times, you know, I turned
• 31:59
  Speaker 12: Vegas to atlant where I was able to introduce the
• 32:02
  Speaker 12: entire world to what Atlanta is, to turn the world
• 32:04
  Speaker 12: to Atlanta for that moment, for those fifteen minutes. So
• 32:07
  Speaker 12: I'm just really happy that everything happened the way that
• 32:09
  Speaker 12: it did. I'm happy that jay Z and Dez reached
• 32:12
  Speaker 12: out to me to do it. I'm happy that Hamis
• 32:14
  Speaker 12: shot it the way that he did, happy that Alkaman,
• 32:16
  Speaker 12: Jones and Hamish work together and pass people who put
• 32:20
  Speaker 12: all of it together to look like it was. I'm
• 32:22
  Speaker 12: happy to out my choreographers and dancers and you know,
• 32:25
  Speaker 12: contortionists and tumblers, little John Ludacris, Alicia.
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: Keys Her where I am.
• 32:34
  Speaker 12: Everybody came through and was able to be a part
• 32:37
  Speaker 12: of it, you know, because it's a thirty it's a
• 32:39
  Speaker 12: thirty year plus you know, celebration for me, absolutely, and
• 32:43
  Speaker 12: it was hard as hell to put all of those
• 32:46
  Speaker 12: thirty years into fifteen minutes, but I did it, and
• 32:49
  Speaker 12: I was able to introduce people to, you know, the
• 32:52
  Speaker 12: culture of the past. You think about everything that Vegas
• 32:54
  Speaker 12: has offered over the last two years to me, but
• 32:56
  Speaker 12: everything that it represented in the past. You noticed the wardrobe,
• 33:00
  Speaker 12: the fact that I kind of took people through what
• 33:02
  Speaker 12: I would consider a past, present and future experience just
• 33:06
  Speaker 12: in time for me to you know, launch my tour.
• 33:08
  Speaker 12: But it was real deliberate, like the wardrobe was selected
• 33:11
  Speaker 12: to make you remember our glamours we were in those
• 33:14
  Speaker 12: times and how you know, going into you know, segregated
• 33:18
  Speaker 12: casinos and being able to not you know, fright, no,
• 33:21
  Speaker 12: as with normal people in those times. It was like
• 33:23
  Speaker 12: a thing of our pride being taken in that time.
• 33:26
  Speaker 12: So that was part of my storytelling. Like yo, I
• 33:29
  Speaker 12: really wanted to honor all of the people who had
• 33:32
  Speaker 12: had anything to do with us being in Las Vegas
• 33:34
  Speaker 12: from the beginning of what Las Vegas experience was, for
• 33:37
  Speaker 12: our black experience, bringing eight Spiece of Us into the conversation.
• 33:41
  Speaker 12: Cappus came out step with me, skate culture, all of
• 33:44
  Speaker 12: those things. It was a past present, future conversation now.

• 37:28
  Speaker 1: I gotta go back and watch you if you go back.
• 37:31
  Speaker 12: It's a it's an entire education that's happening right in
• 37:35
  Speaker 12: front of your eyes.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: I just think it's all.
• 37:37
  Speaker 14: Blown away from everything. It was like a party, and
• 37:39
  Speaker 14: it was like it was it was amazing.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: It was so much.
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: It was what we do, baby, Yeah, we get out
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: when we get out.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: We debated about it.
• 37:47
  Speaker 9: A lot of people said I was being a prisoner
• 37:49
  Speaker 9: of the moment, but I'm just talking about our first watch.
• 37:52
  Speaker 9: My initial reaction was that's the best half super Bowl
• 37:55
  Speaker 9: halftime performance I've ever seen. And so then the next
• 37:58
  Speaker 9: day I went through them and even with it, I'm like,
• 38:01
  Speaker 9: I don't see how you you can't say this isn't
• 38:03
  Speaker 9: the best for me? The top five is you, Michael Jackson,
• 38:07
  Speaker 9: Beyonce the first, well, I think it was the first
• 38:09
  Speaker 9: Beyonce when she brought Deathtney's Child out. Yeah, Prince and doctor.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: Dream Snow, I appreciate that game.
• 38:15
  Speaker 9: We got more with us. You're coming up, so don't
• 38:17
  Speaker 9: go anywhere. It was the most dangerous morning short of
• 38:18
  Speaker 9: Breakfast Club. Yes, he was more dangerous morning to short
• 38:20
  Speaker 9: to Breakfast Club. Charlamagne God here, Jessa Larrus is here,
• 38:23
  Speaker 9: and Usher checked in with us Man to talk all
• 38:26
  Speaker 9: things super Bowl and his marriage and all of that
• 38:29
  Speaker 9: Good Stuff is a new album that's right coming home.
• 38:32
  Speaker 9: So let's talk to Usher right now on the Breakfast Club.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: Why didn't things work out with Justin Bible?
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: You know what they did work out with Justin?
• 38:41
  Speaker 12: You know, I honored and and and and recognized that
• 38:44
  Speaker 12: my brother. You know, I think that it might have
• 38:48
  Speaker 12: been the fact that he was just you know, wanting
• 38:51
  Speaker 12: to tell a different story right now, and I understand that.
• 38:55
  Speaker 12: But we did have a brief conversation, and you know,
• 39:00
  Speaker 12: we're gonna do something else in the future. But there's
• 39:03
  Speaker 12: no love lost or anything like that. I think that
• 39:06
  Speaker 12: it's a lot of pressure for the super Bowl, obviously
• 39:08
  Speaker 12: for me to put together the show, so I reached
• 39:10
  Speaker 12: out to everybody. Justin wasn't the only person that I
• 39:13
  Speaker 12: actually spoke to about doing the super Bowl, but the
• 39:17
  Speaker 12: moment was maybe for later, he's gonna play the super Bowl.
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: I'll go ahead and give you that in the future.
• 39:24
  Speaker 12: I profess that over his life and over his time,
• 39:27
  Speaker 12: because he has a career that deserves it.
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: But it just didn't happen. But that doesn't mean it's
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: not going to What.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: Was Chris Brown ever, for consideration, that was another rumor
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: about that.
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: No, I didn't. I did not reach out to Chris Brown, Okay, okay.
• 39:43
  Speaker 9: Is there anybody else? Is anybody else?
• 39:44
  Speaker 8: You know?
• 39:45
  Speaker 9: I want that There was always there was a rumor
• 39:47
  Speaker 9: that you and Chris had a little kerfuffle.
• 39:50
  Speaker 12: It's all good, man, you know, it's it's it's actually,
• 39:54
  Speaker 12: you know, always going to be something that you're gonna hear,
• 39:57
  Speaker 12: you know, issues between me and that man.
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: We're good.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 40:00
  Speaker 9: If anyone else you wanted on stage with you but
• 40:02
  Speaker 9: things didn't work out.
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: I can't give you all of that. Tell me I
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: wish I could. I can't give you that exclusive.
• 40:10
  Speaker 12: If you hear it, by the way, I will confirm it,
• 40:12
  Speaker 12: but I will not. Okay, I'm not going to tell
• 40:14
  Speaker 12: you everybody I reached out to. I reached out to
• 40:16
  Speaker 12: some hitters. I was listening, I was curating. I was
• 40:21
  Speaker 12: curating what would be one of the greatest Super Bowls
• 40:24
  Speaker 12: of all time, and it actually turned into that because
• 40:27
  Speaker 12: of who I reached out to.
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: I felt like her.
• 40:29
  Speaker 12: She is an amazing artist, but even more amazing guitarist,
• 40:34
  Speaker 12: and I wanted the world to see her as the.
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: Rock star or rock and soul star she is.
• 40:40
  Speaker 12: And Alicia obviously reached out to because we had, you know,
• 40:44
  Speaker 12: my boot, and I wanted the world to see her
• 40:47
  Speaker 12: as a glamorous start that she was.
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: Dak. I dreamt her vision and I always started flowing
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: huge dress that would go over the entire stadium.
• 40:57
  Speaker 12: It's like I just got this this very I'm just
• 41:00
  Speaker 12: real specific about handling, handling our icons the way that
• 41:04
  Speaker 12: they need to be handled, and we need to do
• 41:06
  Speaker 12: that more often. We can get into the mess, yes,
• 41:10
  Speaker 12: and we can absolutely get into the mess to God,
• 41:12
  Speaker 12: you know what I'm saying, But Yo, we got to
• 41:14
  Speaker 12: handle our icons the right way.
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: We gotta make we lift them up on God. You
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: understand what I'm saying. But the way that Jay reached out,
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: hold on and say is the way that Jay reached
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: out because he.
• 41:25
  Speaker 12: Understood, Yo, this is a moment for the culture. We
• 41:28
  Speaker 12: have to preserve our icons in the same way. Don't
• 41:31
  Speaker 12: let the mess bring our icons down because we don't
• 41:34
  Speaker 12: get them back and we don't get a chance. Like
• 41:37
  Speaker 12: we all human and we all go through things and
• 41:39
  Speaker 12: we all want to experience things. But we gotta handle
• 41:42
  Speaker 12: high icons the right way. You know, the rock stars
• 41:45
  Speaker 12: they handle each other the right way, you know, they don't.
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: We don't get caught up in the boy and we shouldn't.
• 41:52
  Speaker 12: Let's stop that. Let's let's let's lift our icons up.
• 41:55
  Speaker 12: Let's make certain that we keep them preserved. HI at
• 41:58
  Speaker 12: the highest place, in the best wardrobe, on the biggest stage,
• 42:03
  Speaker 12: in the biggest moment being seen, because they'll surely.
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: Forget about us. And if you helped him, and if
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: you help them forget about us, they'll do it quicker,
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 42:13
  Speaker 13: You know, So I just wanted us say I apologize,
• 42:17
  Speaker 13: but you said.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: What I said.
• 42:21
  Speaker 14: I apologize for helping out the mess because he's talking
• 42:26
  Speaker 14: to him. He's very intentional. He's very intentional about the
• 42:29
  Speaker 14: stuff that he's saying, and he keeps saying mass and
• 42:31
  Speaker 14: just and I understand. So I apologize, But did you
• 42:36
  Speaker 14: know Jermaine Duprie was going well.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: At Yeah, y'all didn't keep Jamae Duprix in the highest.
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: Of Absolutely, we did know.
• 42:42
  Speaker 12: Jermain knew exactly what he was wearing it and you
• 42:45
  Speaker 12: know what he should because that's that's his story and
• 42:48
  Speaker 12: that's what's dope. Like the reality is the first time
• 42:51
  Speaker 12: we saw Michael n glitterary socks, we laughed the first
• 42:54
  Speaker 12: time we start Prince with his cheeks out, we all
• 42:56
  Speaker 12: laughed and we thought that it was funny until it
• 42:59
  Speaker 12: became his moment. It that's his moment we're just looking
• 43:01
  Speaker 12: at That's true, but it's cool. Y'all look at it
• 43:04
  Speaker 12: however you want. I see something that's going to continue
• 43:07
  Speaker 12: to grow. It's all about how you look at life, man, It's.
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: How you look at it.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll just know this.
• 43:15
  Speaker 12: Just know that you definitely have the influence to determine
• 43:19
  Speaker 12: how people choose to look at things.
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: So frame in the right direction. Because our icons matter.
• 43:27
  Speaker 9: And that's why I say, is an icon who should
• 43:29
  Speaker 9: always be treated in touch. I'm telling me and the
• 43:31
  Speaker 9: dream had this convo and I don't know why. It
• 43:33
  Speaker 9: just stuck with me that night when the dream said,
• 43:35
  Speaker 9: I'm like, yo, the dream is right. We have to
• 43:36
  Speaker 9: celebrate the legends that we have now. I really think
• 43:39
  Speaker 9: it's because y'all still here.
• 43:41
  Speaker 12: It's not just that it sure as sure as technology
• 43:45
  Speaker 12: becomes obsolete, you know, you could assume that music and
• 43:49
  Speaker 12: the spirituality that's inside of it will too, but it won't.
• 43:52
  Speaker 12: It'll always be there. But why not celebrate the people,
• 43:55
  Speaker 12: not just what they made? Let's celebrate them and let's
• 43:58
  Speaker 12: make them feel love because they gave something. They dedicated,
• 44:01
  Speaker 12: they made you feel something. They made you fall in love,
• 44:04
  Speaker 12: they made you happy, they made you smile, they gave
• 44:06
  Speaker 12: you energy, they gave you something that you needed in
• 44:09
  Speaker 12: that moment.
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: So why not continue to lift them up.
• 44:11
  Speaker 12: That's why at every show you see me bringing the
• 44:14
  Speaker 12: artists that I know have been influential.
• 44:16
  Speaker 8: To my stage.
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: I ain't hiding them. I'm not trying to make them
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: look bad.
• 44:20
  Speaker 12: I'm like, no, let's make them look great. Let's continue
• 44:22
  Speaker 12: to lift our own people up. Let's lift each other up.
• 44:25
  Speaker 12: Let's continue to push each other up. Just you know,
• 44:28
  Speaker 12: I stay on you, leyo, do it better? Come on,
• 44:32
  Speaker 12: do it better?
• 44:32
  Speaker 13: Yes, lift me up there, I got you.
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna keep pushing you. I'm gonna make you great.
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: I want you to be great. That's it. That's all
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: I want. I want greatness for our people. I won't
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: I won't. I want our people to make certain that
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: we know we are great.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, you know what I'm saying.
• 44:49
  Speaker 9: You know, have you seen some of your old moments,
• 44:52
  Speaker 9: like when you was on stage with Nicki Minaj and
• 44:53
  Speaker 9: you was head button or ass.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: Why would you saw Why would you sawing hinge?
• 44:57
  Speaker 12: In that moment, By the way, it was just making
• 45:00
  Speaker 12: you see, you gotta go to you gotta go to Jamaica.
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: That was just the moment that was that was fun.
• 45:05
  Speaker 12: And by the way, it was me playing my bass,
• 45:06
  Speaker 12: so I would have probably bumped my shoulder on my hand,
• 45:09
  Speaker 12: you know what I'm saying.
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: But I had my base in my hands I was playing,
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: so I just kind of bopped off a body a
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: little bit.
• 45:14
  Speaker 12: And if you go back and look at the video
• 45:15
  Speaker 12: you'll understand because I did it there the first time.
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: That was a little bit of Jamaican coaching.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: It was all being out like I think.
• 45:23
  Speaker 12: I think I was reaching a big when I spacked
• 45:25
  Speaker 12: her though I shouldn't spect it, but I shouldn't did that.
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: See you gotta lift up man, you know, I mean,
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: I was lifting.
• 45:34
  Speaker 9: And I always wondered to what was what was your
• 45:36
  Speaker 9: reaction to the Boondocks episode about you man?
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: That keeps coming up, That's been coming up all week too.
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I hate Regina about that and they you know,
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: they they crazy.
• 45:48
  Speaker 12: It was It's funny, but I guess that's that's the
• 45:50
  Speaker 12: truth of the other side of what happens.
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: That's the Usher effect. I guess I don't know.
• 45:57
  Speaker 13: Most talked man, that is who you are.
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I appreciate that.
• 46:03
  Speaker 12: But hey, in no way anything that was done there
• 46:08
  Speaker 12: should have been viewed as bad or in any way
• 46:14
  Speaker 12: perverted or anything like that. No, it was literally about,
• 46:17
  Speaker 12: you know, having having fun because of a song that
• 46:21
  Speaker 12: me and Alisha made many years ago, and we celebrated
• 46:24
  Speaker 12: because of the legacy of it, and no disrespect to
• 46:28
  Speaker 12: anybody or anything like that.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: Have you in Swiss and Alisha shared a laugh about it.
• 46:32
  Speaker 12: All of me absolutely laughed about it. It's crazy how
• 46:34
  Speaker 12: people pick they handle. It's all about how you present things, man,
• 46:39
  Speaker 12: But it's all of One of my shout outs, shout
• 46:42
  Speaker 12: out to the Dean Collection.
• 46:43
  Speaker 4: Y'all get out to Brooklyn and check out the check
• 46:45

  Speaker 9: This year we got more with us are coming up,
• 46:48
  Speaker 9: so don't go anywhere. The was the most Dangerous morning
• 46:50
  Speaker 9: short of Breakfast Club. Yeah, the onl Mos dangerous morning
• 46:52
  Speaker 9: short of Breakfast Club. Charlamagne to God Here, Jessa Larius
• 46:55
  Speaker 9: is here and Usher checked in with us man to
• 46:58
  Speaker 9: talk all things super Bowl and his marriage and all
• 47:01
  Speaker 9: of that good stuff is a new album that's right
• 47:03
  Speaker 9: coming home. So let's talk to us right now on
• 47:06
  Speaker 9: the Breakfast Club.
• 47:06
  Speaker 13: Tell us about your Black Love and Atlanta TV show.
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: Oh It's coming.
• 47:12
  Speaker 12: I think that we as artists, there's a price that
• 47:14
  Speaker 12: we all have to pay in entering this industry. And
• 47:18
  Speaker 12: most of the time we either sell off our publishing
• 47:21
  Speaker 12: or either we don't we don't retain it because it's
• 47:23
  Speaker 12: not an option too, or either we don't value it
• 47:26
  Speaker 12: because it doesn't have value in theory.
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: But what the value becomes is something that people have
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: already recognized. A story, a song.
• 47:33
  Speaker 12: Storytelling is something that I've always done. So what I
• 47:35
  Speaker 12: did is I've taken the songs of the masters that
• 47:39
  Speaker 12: I don't own, and I reframed them into now something
• 47:42
  Speaker 12: that is a narrative piece that you'll be able to see.
• 47:45
  Speaker 12: So you already know what the story is, and you
• 47:47
  Speaker 12: know what the crescendo of the story is. But here's
• 47:50
  Speaker 12: just another way of you flipping. You know, a hustler,
• 47:54
  Speaker 12: you know what I'm saying, if you want to call
• 47:56
  Speaker 12: it a hustle. But the reality is I own the idea,
• 47:59
  Speaker 12: but I don't necessarily own the IP, so why not
• 48:02
  Speaker 12: go after some other portion of it to use it
• 48:04
  Speaker 12: to storytell?
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: How does it make sense?
• 48:06
  Speaker 9: It makes How does it feel to have coming home
• 48:08
  Speaker 9: speaking and out of the field, have coming home on
• 48:10
  Speaker 9: your own label?
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: That's amazing?
• 48:13
  Speaker 9: You know.
• 48:14
  Speaker 12: I'm really hoping that it continues to pave the way
• 48:18
  Speaker 12: and show, you know, artists who have been in this
• 48:21
  Speaker 12: industry for you know, thirty plus years, that no matter
• 48:25
  Speaker 12: you know, how long you may be in it, you know,
• 48:28
  Speaker 12: keep going, keep going.
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: Keep striving, find great partnerships.
• 48:32
  Speaker 12: Because it's really a result of having an amazing partnership
• 48:35
  Speaker 12: with La and also to Larry Jackson that makes it
• 48:38
  Speaker 12: what it is. But you know, thirty years after signing
• 48:44
  Speaker 12: my first deal and having now come back as an
• 48:47
  Speaker 12: independent artist and having the type of reaction to my music,
• 48:51
  Speaker 12: I don't take that lightly.
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: I do appreciate the love.
• 48:53
  Speaker 12: I do appreciate the fact that people you know, that
• 48:56
  Speaker 12: gravitating towards the music, that they're interested in it, that
• 48:59
  Speaker 12: they it connects with their lives as it has connected
• 49:02
  Speaker 12: to mine.
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: And this is just the next chapter installation of my life.
• 49:08
  Speaker 9: Ruin is one of my favorite songs off the album.
• 49:10
  Speaker 14: Oh my god, you knew I was going to say
• 49:11
  Speaker 14: that because I'm the one to put you on with
• 49:13
  Speaker 14: the song us should anyway?
• 49:14
  Speaker 13: I love Ruined what Feels? And I was going to
• 49:17
  Speaker 13: ask you.
• 49:19
  Speaker 14: It is my favorite's one of my favorite songs, but
• 49:21
  Speaker 14: it is the one that I do my makeup to
• 49:22
  Speaker 14: every morning.
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: What was that to give you a whole book of youse?
• 49:27
  Speaker 4: I love that. I love your EU.
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: Thank you?
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: Who did you?
• 49:32
  Speaker 13: Who inspired that song? No, he's not, He's just Usher.
• 49:38
  Speaker 13: It's Usher that I want to know who inspired ruined?
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: Life inspired ruined?
• 49:45
  Speaker 12: You know the idea that you know we can be
• 49:48
  Speaker 12: in relationships that you know can can change your perspective.
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: You know, you can open yourself up, you know, especially
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: for men. You know what I'm saying. It's like, you
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: know how hard it is to get my heart to open.
• 49:59
  Speaker 4: And then when it you know, this one, it killed me.
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: It pushed me back. It made me look at every
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: woman differently until I met my daughter. And then she
• 50:09
  Speaker 4: ruined me in a different.
• 50:10
  Speaker 12: Way because she's like spoiled and all the things that
• 50:14
  Speaker 12: she should be at her three year old as a
• 50:16
  Speaker 12: three major.
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: She she ruined me.
• 50:20
  Speaker 12: But you know, before that The song ideally is about
• 50:24
  Speaker 12: when you're in a relationship with somebody who you know,
• 50:28
  Speaker 12: you try to you try to get it right, and
• 50:30
  Speaker 12: then you just can't. And it's like you just you
• 50:32
  Speaker 12: don't look at it. You don't look at any relationship
• 50:35
  Speaker 12: the same because of that one until you meet the
• 50:39
  Speaker 12: one who replaces that love in your heart.
• 50:42
  Speaker 4: That's why I shot the video the way that I did.
• 50:44
  Speaker 13: Yes, and that is I bet you you can see
• 50:45
  Speaker 13: the video. It's a really really nice visual.
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: I really love it.
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 50:51
  Speaker 12: The completion of that is is the joy, the joy
• 50:54
  Speaker 12: that my wife gave me and giving me my first daughter.
• 50:57
  Speaker 12: You know, I love my boys, don't get me wrong,
• 51:00
  Speaker 12: But every man who has a daughter, he understands what
• 51:03
  Speaker 12: I'm saying when I say that daughters change you.
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: I got full.
• 51:07
  Speaker 4: They replace it, They replace a love that you can't explain.
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 51:12
  Speaker 9: When you talk about relationships, Ussha and you talk I
• 51:14
  Speaker 9: saw when you talk about being in toxic relationships throughout
• 51:18
  Speaker 9: your life, can you admit to yourself that you might
• 51:19
  Speaker 9: have been toxic once at some point?
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: Absolutely?
• 51:22
  Speaker 12: Okay, absolutely, you know uh and and it's obviously in
• 51:26
  Speaker 12: the music to say so, But I think that We
• 51:29
  Speaker 12: all are a product of what experiences we had as
• 51:32
  Speaker 12: kids and what our idea of love is and what
• 51:35
  Speaker 12: we you know, we perceive to actually be healthy love
• 51:38
  Speaker 12: that might not necessarily be access is something that all
• 51:43
  Speaker 12: you know people do have.
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: But you know, is it better to have a.
• 51:47
  Speaker 12: Ton when you really, you know, should really love yourself first?
• 51:51
  Speaker 12: You know, all of those I mean, it's I was
• 51:53
  Speaker 12: taught to be a player. You know what I'm saying,
• 51:55
  Speaker 12: Hey player from the him Malayas. You know what I'm
• 51:56
  Speaker 12: saying was I was killing them, you know what I'm saying.
• 52:00
  Speaker 4: But you know.
• 52:04
  Speaker 9: This man is a minute man.
• 52:07
  Speaker 12: Yeah, you know what I'm saying and probably turned down
• 52:10
  Speaker 12: more than I could ever choose to say. But I'm saying,
• 52:13
  Speaker 12: like to be real toxic is something that I think
• 52:17
  Speaker 12: we all got to individually work through.
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: And I did.
• 52:22
  Speaker 4: I did it. You know, in a matter of about
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: five to six years of my life.
• 52:26
  Speaker 12: Things changed because I changed because at my forty, my
• 52:30
  Speaker 12: forty at the year changed my perspective and it made
• 52:33
  Speaker 12: me want something more.
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: It made me want to love myself more.
• 52:36
  Speaker 12: It made me want to be a better person, hopefully
• 52:40
  Speaker 12: for my children, so that they didn't have to be
• 52:42
  Speaker 12: toxic in their lives.
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: You know. But I think that all of it is,
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: you know, kind of you know, living and learning.
• 52:53
  Speaker 9: That's interesting you say that, because I feel like when
• 52:55
  Speaker 9: you made that change, and we didn't even know you
• 52:57
  Speaker 9: made that change, that's when it seemed like you started
• 52:59
  Speaker 9: to get your flowers in a real way. That's when
• 53:01
  Speaker 9: things started to shift, like the residency and everything started.
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: Around that time.
• 53:05
  Speaker 9: So that says a lot. You did the work on
• 53:07
  Speaker 9: yourself and it came back to you in life.
• 53:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we all can't. We all should.
• 53:13
  Speaker 12: And part of it is is wanting to uh that
• 53:17
  Speaker 12: belief and unwavering commitment to what you believe in your
• 53:23
  Speaker 12: mind no matter what life is presenting you or what
• 53:25
  Speaker 12: people may say about you. That doesn't matter what you
• 53:29
  Speaker 12: feel about you matters.
• 53:31
  Speaker 4: What I say I am is what matters. I'm a
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: ruler in my own mind.
• 53:35
  Speaker 12: I'm a king and I am building a kingdom in
• 53:38
  Speaker 12: my own mind, and that is all that matters, no
• 53:41
  Speaker 12: matter what may be said, no matter what anyone could
• 53:44
  Speaker 12: choose to say.
• 53:46
  Speaker 4: What I say matters.
• 53:47
  Speaker 12: What I say goes in my life, and I am
• 53:50
  Speaker 12: the architect of my own destiny. You know what I'm saying,
• 53:53
  Speaker 12: and that's just something you.
• 53:54
  Speaker 4: Got to you gotta remember, you gotta you gotta remind
• 53:57
  Speaker 4: yourself of that every day, young man.
• 53:59

• 55:08
  Speaker 2: If you're like into the breakfast club.
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: This time for Donkey of the Day.
• 55:15
  Speaker 14: Donkey, I'm a Democrat, so being Donky of the Day
• 55:19
  Speaker 14: is a little bit of a mixed so like a
• 55:21
  Speaker 14: donkey here today.
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: Club.
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: Now I've been called a lot of my twenty three
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: years that Donkey of.
• 55:30
  Speaker 13: The Bay is a new wife.
• 55:32
  Speaker 9: Yes, Donkey to day goes to a former where the
• 55:35
  Speaker 9: music at Eddie can't. Okay, now we're talking. Go to
• 55:38
  Speaker 9: a former target worker from Virginia named by zen Bear
• 55:43
  Speaker 9: I think that's his name, who has been sentenced to
• 55:45
  Speaker 9: a whole century in prison, one hundred years. I have
• 55:47
  Speaker 9: no idea why judges be playing with people like that, Like,
• 55:50
  Speaker 9: what is the point? Just sentence me to favil Okay,
• 55:53
  Speaker 9: just sentence me to for all of eternity. Matter of fact,
• 55:57
  Speaker 9: just let me ask the judge a question. Judge, am
• 55:59
  Speaker 9: I ever getting out and the judge can simply say
• 56:01
  Speaker 9: no period. Okay, anything sounds better than one hundred years.
• 56:05
  Speaker 9: My brain can't even process that. If it judge gives
• 56:07
  Speaker 9: you one hundred years, you should automatically be granted permission
• 56:10
  Speaker 9: to run and swan dive over the desk at that judge. Okay,
• 56:13
  Speaker 9: that's when you're supposed to make those kinds of leaps.
• 56:16
  Speaker 9: But once again, as I tell y'all every other day,
• 56:18
  Speaker 9: life is about choices. Okay, Destiny is not a matter
• 56:21
  Speaker 9: of chance. It's a matter of choice, and Bazin Barr
• 56:23
  Speaker 9: made a very poor choice. Now, today's donkey of the
• 56:26
  Speaker 9: Day is a teachable moment because so many people have
• 56:29
  Speaker 9: been faced with the challenge that Bizin was faced with.
• 56:32
  Speaker 9: So many people every day who listen to the Breakfast
• 56:34
  Speaker 9: Club have had to deal with what Bizin has had
• 56:37
  Speaker 9: to deal with. Okay, but I bet you handled it
• 56:39
  Speaker 9: better than he did. What are you talking about, cause Challah? Well,
• 56:42
  Speaker 9: let's go to A seven's ABC seven News. ABC seven
• 56:45
  Speaker 9: dues on your side for the report polease knew it?
• 56:47
  Speaker 16: For a judge's sentence see an Alexandria man to one
• 56:50
  Speaker 16: hundred years in prison after he killed his coworker in
• 56:54
  Speaker 16: a target parking lot in Bailey's Crossroads. Back in twenty
• 56:57
  Speaker 16: twenty one, twenty five year old bos And Berry killed
• 57:00
  Speaker 16: Hernan Levia. During the trial, prosecutors argue that Barry planned
• 57:05
  Speaker 16: the murder after his coworker took his lunch from the
• 57:08
  Speaker 16: office fridge. Days later, Barry attacked the victim and stabbed
• 57:12
  Speaker 16: him several times after their work shift. Barry plead guilty
• 57:16
  Speaker 16: to first degree murder in October.
• 57:19
  Speaker 17: Lunch, bro, you killed someone because they stole your lunch
• 57:24
  Speaker 17: out of the fridge at work, because they stole your
• 57:28
  Speaker 17: food out of the refrigerator.
• 57:30
  Speaker 9: I understand sometime life is about principle. Okay, I get it.
• 57:33
  Speaker 9: He thought you was soft. You had to show him otherwise.
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: But now what You.
• 57:38
  Speaker 9: Killed someone over lunch only to go to prison and
• 57:41
  Speaker 9: end up being someone snack And you gave it because
• 57:44
  Speaker 9: what else do you have to do over the next
• 57:45
  Speaker 9: one hundred years? And he's only twenty five, little young tender. Okay,
• 57:50
  Speaker 9: I'm telling you. People are sick out here all right.
• 57:53
  Speaker 9: Folks need psychiatric help. So many people that are walking
• 57:56
  Speaker 9: amongst us need to be under somebody's care. They need
• 57:59
  Speaker 9: to be medical. I don't know what this man was
• 58:01
  Speaker 9: dealing with. I don't know what he was going through
• 58:03
  Speaker 9: or whatever it was. This situation puts him over the edge.
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 58:07
  Speaker 9: You don't just go zero to sixty over a sandwich,
• 58:10
  Speaker 9: all right. This must have been a meal his grandmother
• 58:13
  Speaker 9: or mother cook, and he bought the leftover with him
• 58:15
  Speaker 9: to work. This had to be some sort of comfort
• 58:17
  Speaker 9: food like this food had to have some sentimental value, okay.
• 58:21
  Speaker 9: That he had to be something that this man was
• 58:23
  Speaker 9: looking forward to. And you had the audacity to steal it,
• 58:27
  Speaker 9: eat it, and then just come back to work like
• 58:30
  Speaker 9: it's all good. Called the man to snap.
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 58:33
  Speaker 9: I can't believe I have to say this, but I
• 58:35
  Speaker 9: don't care how disgruntled you are. There is not a
• 58:38
  Speaker 9: chicken salad anywhere on this planet that's good enough to
• 58:41
  Speaker 9: take somebody's life and get a century in prison. I
• 58:44
  Speaker 9: don't even know if he was eating chicken salad, But
• 58:46
  Speaker 9: wouldn't it be ironic if he did all of this
• 58:48
  Speaker 9: for a toss salad only to end up in prison
• 58:51
  Speaker 9: tossing salads for the next one hundred Yes, listen to me, though, man,
• 58:55
  Speaker 9: it's a lot of things that's interesting to me about
• 58:57
  Speaker 9: this story. But one that stands out is he thought
• 59:01
  Speaker 9: about this when you read the report, he thought about this.
• 59:04
  Speaker 9: It's a premeditated murder. He didn't look in the fridge
• 59:07
  Speaker 9: and see his lunch was stolen. He went home, okay
• 59:10
  Speaker 9: and said, well, he didn't just look in the fridge
• 59:13
  Speaker 9: and see his lunch was stolen, and then you know,
• 59:16
  Speaker 9: confront the man right there. He went home and said
• 59:18
  Speaker 9: he spent the next few days plotting his revenge.
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: Think about that. He went home for three days.
• 59:25
  Speaker 9: And plotted his revenge. And this is why I think
• 59:27
  Speaker 9: like meditation is so important, breathing exercises, having someone to
• 59:31
  Speaker 9: talk to you.
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: Mean to tell me.
• 59:33
  Speaker 9: Over the course of three days, he couldn't let go
• 59:35
  Speaker 9: of the fact that his tuna sandwich got stolen, his
• 59:38
  Speaker 9: homemade pizza peanut butter jelly sandwich got took and he
• 59:41
  Speaker 9: couldn't shake that off. This man had severe anger issues
• 59:45
  Speaker 9: that he never got the help for. And that is
• 59:48
  Speaker 9: the moral of the story. Anger resembles fire, and like
• 59:51
  Speaker 9: the fire, if you keep feeding it, it will get
• 59:54
  Speaker 9: stronger and harm you. If you stop feeding anger with
• 59:57
  Speaker 9: your attention, it will fade away. This man held this
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 9: for three days. Not one of those days did he
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 9: have lunch. One lunch after the lunch that God stolen
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 9: will remind him that lunch goes on.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: He was moving like he only had one.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 9: Lunch to live, and that's not how lunch works. Listen,
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 9: we must be willing to let go of the lunch
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 9: we planned so as to have the lunch that is
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 9: waiting for us, not you basing, no, no, no. The
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 9: lunch that is waiting for you right now is two
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 9: mixed grain sandwiches, one roast beef relish and salad, our
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 9: tomato mayo and salad, one egg mayonnaise in salad, and
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 9: one serving a fresh fruit. That's what's waiting for you
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 9: for the next hundred years. Dinner gonna go crazy, though,
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 9: one maybe two blue vein sausages. Okay, that beef whistle
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 9: you gotta blow on because it may be too hot. Okay,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 9: you don't even want to see that custard luncher for dessert. Okay,
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 9: please give bazen Bear the biggest he hull crazy world
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 9: are we living in, y'all? Mister breakfast Club, Good morning.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 15: The Breakfast Club, owing everybody, It's the j Envy Jess
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 15: Hilariy Isshalla mean the guy we are the Breakfast Club.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 15: We got a special guest in.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: The building, the legendary Jermaine dupri Yeah.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what's having up, Jenny going on? Now let's talk
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: about Freakney, this Freaknick documentary.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 15: Now, when making this documentary, you had tons of ladies
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 15: and men scared that they were going to see their pictures,
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 15: their asses on the screen. But it was it was
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 15: well done. It wasn't done in a disrespectful way. It
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 15: was it was so explain to it this documentary.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 18: How it came out, Yeah, I mean it came about
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 18: I think Luke was trying to do this initially, and
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 18: then they started having conversations about it, and Luke said,
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 18: you know, he can't do it if I wasn't involved.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: And then when they came to talk to me about it,
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: I said the same thing to them.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 18: I'm like, well, I wouldn't do this if wasn't involved,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 18: and they like, well we got Luke, so we got you,
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 18: and I'm like yeah. So it went from there and
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 18: then it just kind of just started moving pretty fast.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 18: And then I just wanted to make sure that the
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 18: story was told from all perspectives because the people that
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 18: was concerned about the ass is showing and all of that.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 18: They don't understand how young I was when Freak Nick
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 18: was actually popping. So my perspective of Freaknick wasn't that perspective.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 18: I ain't see all that because I wasn't able to
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 18: get into the clubs and all of this type of stuff.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 18: So my perspective was I was part of the street traffic.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 18: I was out in the streets, I was dancing outside
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 18: the cars. I was on Pea Street. I was that
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 18: was that was a part of freak Nick, and I
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 18: saw other people saw Luke got a different story than
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 18: other people. So it's just really important for me to
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 18: see make sure that we made you see everybody's different perspective.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 18: How much did y'all have to water to duck down
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 18: because of this laying mass cancel culture.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: Era that none?
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 18: Because I mean you, I feel like, ultimately what people
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 18: don't understand is this is black culture.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: Are you embarrassed by culching?
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 4: Like?
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 18: Are you embarrassed that you went to a HBCU and
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 18: this is how y'all act? If that's how you feel,
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 18: then you should just change your color of your skin,
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 18: because this is that's life. In Atlanta, we got four,
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 18: you know what I mean. Where everywhere else got one,
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 18: y'all got Hampton and one.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: We have four of them.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 18: So if you put all of that energy in one place,
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 18: it's just what black culture is. Absolutely How did twenty
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 18: one Savage get to be a part of it? I
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 18: know that this was youall, Era, you and Uncle Luke,
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 18: but how did hook up it? Well, twenty one he
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 18: been doing his birthday party and the theme with his
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 18: birthday party is Freaknick, even for the past couple of years.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 18: So at first I was like no, but then you
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 18: know he lived Atlanta, he from well, I mean, you know,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 18: he's not from Atlanta, but he's from Base basically from Atlanta.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 18: So if you're from Atlanta, you felt the repercussions of
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 18: something from Freaknik at some point.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 15: It's crazy because you know, going to Hampton. Of course,
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 15: Freaknik created so many different gatherings right Philly, Greek Fourth
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 15: of July and Virginia Jones Beach, New York City. It
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 15: all started from Freaknick.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: But I just thought it was a party that a
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: party that was created just for people a while out.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: That's what I thought it was. When when you were
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: in college what you think it was.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 15: But the fact that it was created for students that
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 15: didn't have any money was something you want to break
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 15: that down because I thought it was created for a
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 15: whole different reason.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 18: Well, I mean, that's what I'm saying a lot of people.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 18: I didn't go to college, so I can't you know
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 18: what I mean. I didn't know that either. So the
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 18: the person that's watching this, that's probably me that didn't
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 18: go to college, that don't know nothing about that lifestyle.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 18: You don't understand that these kids that come from DC
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 18: or New York or wherever they come, they go all
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 18: the way to Atlanta. You think that they got money
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 18: to just fly back home on spring break and just
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 18: well back then, we didn't fly back. We would drive exactly.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 18: We didn't know what I'm saying. So it's like that's
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 18: another thing that that this documentary shows of how unmanual
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 18: we are as people. Unmanual, Yeah, unmanual, because we are
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 18: as people because you guys used to drive. Now, when
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 18: you think you're gonna see four girls from New York
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 18: getting a car and drive to Atlanta just to have fun,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 18: no way, it's never their lines ninety You know what
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 18: I'm saying, so it just shows you that type of stuff.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 18: And then like you know, so you you should see
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 18: that freak Nick is like, oh, these were some kids
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 18: that couldn't go home. They didn't know what their spring
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 18: break was gonna be. Like they watching all these white
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 18: kids go to go to then the beach and all this,
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 18: and they got money. But these kids are stuck in Lanta.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 18: It ain't got no money. So they threw a picnic
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 18: that turned into freak Nick. That's a that's an American
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 18: black history story.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, people weren't afraid to be broke back then.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean you have no trust trust to
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: be afraid.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 9: But no, nowadays, people confront right, so everybody can pretend
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 9: to something that you can pretend to have more than
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 9: you got.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: Nobody wants to.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 18: I mean they still they, you know they they I mean,
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 18: well you yeah, you know, I'll be saying, these girls
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 18: go to Tuloom and I'm sure they sharing rooms.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, didn't matter like that didn't you know what I'm saying.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 15: It didn't matter like you would go to you know,
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 15: Philly Greek or Fourth of July and Virginia and it'd
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 15: be seven of us in the room, and nobody thought
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 15: about it saying it wasn't we broke and be like,
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 15: oh you got the floor, you got the eye, you
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 15: take your quick shout.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: But that's what it was. It was all hanging out
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: as brothers. It didn't matter. That's why I thought it
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: was for me.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 18: That's why as we got into it, that's why I
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 18: was like, this has to come out because people we
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 18: don't see this in black culture. We just keep trying
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 18: to make it seem like everybody got money and everybody
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 18: do this and nothing. No, it was a time when
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 18: none of that mattered, right, And I I liked when
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 18: Jalen Rose was somethingbout how he got to Freaknick. He
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 18: took his cousin car something, and it was just like,
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 18: as long as I get a car, I'm out, we
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 18: get into Freaknick. And that was the same thing with me.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 18: When I was well six, Chambe, I had just got
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 18: my first car. My first car was a Valari, a
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 18: two door Valori. Probably listening don't even know what that is.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 18: But it was an ugly ass car that looked like
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 18: a Pacer mixed with something else, right, And I ain't
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 18: care what the car looked like. I just was able
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 18: to drive around Atlanta while this was happening, and that's all.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 18: That's ultimately what your The goal was, can you get
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 18: into the freaknick, Can you get into traffic? If you're
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 18: sitting at home and you can't get it, that's when
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 18: you're mad. But if you have a car, that's what all.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 18: That's all it was about.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 15: It's crazy how how how they easily canceled black events
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 15: right while you look at Daytuna Beach, you look at
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 15: Miami spring Break, you look at where the white kids
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 15: go for their spring break, and they wild out, they
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 15: get drunk, they fight, and all types of stuff. But
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 15: those events never get canceled. It seemed like they tried
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 15: to tame it, but they just totally canceled freaking it,
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 15: which is crazy.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: I mean they had to because it was bad.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 18: I mean it got to a point now And I'm
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 18: not talking about the misconduct with the guys and the girls.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about just the traffic and how the city
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: was dealing with it.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 18: Because ultimately, these guys that was at they school, they
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 18: started something. They never talked to the people in the city,
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 18: so the city had no idea what was actually happening.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 2: When it got out of control.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 18: They just start trying to control it the best way
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 18: they could, but they weren't even talking to the DC
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 18: Metro Club, right, So it's like at that point, it's
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 18: like Frankenstein. You're gonna created a monster and y'all can't
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 18: control this. You got the only thing you can do
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 18: is shut it down at least for a second and
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 18: try to see if y'all can figure out how.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: To make it work. Did it ever come back? We
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: tried a couple of years ago. Now I don't think.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 18: I mean, I think it could come back, you know,
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 18: if people really really sit down and figure out how
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 18: to make it into essence Fest, because that's basically what
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 18: it should have become. It should have become the essence
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 18: Fest of Atlanta, Right. But the traffic part of it
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 18: that was.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: The most of the people who go to others now
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: probably used to go to Freaking.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: All them black people was at Freaking.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 15: You just got to define the name because when people
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 15: hear the name Freaknick, they think it's gonna be a yeah.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: But I'm saying we can get past that. We got
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: Slutty Vegan now, I.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 9: Don't think it's too much cameras now, yeah, that's another thing.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: I think that that's that's the other thing. That's the
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: only thing I would say.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 18: If you go to Freaknick, now, you gotta put your
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 18: phone away because you have missed the girls dancing on
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 18: the cars, like the fact that you was driving down
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 18: the street and you were looking for everything. It's how
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 18: you saw freaking it. If somebody down there doing this,
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 18: you're gonna miss every So that's another thing you gotta
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 18: you know. And maybe the hype of it and people
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 18: saying it might make people want to see it. But
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 18: I just think people are so like attached to their
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 18: phones and they think everything is more important than their phone,
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 18: as opposed and seeing what's happening outside.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 9: And how come nobody ever focuses on some of the
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 9: women that went down there because they wanted to have
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 9: a good time, Like they wanted to go out there
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 9: and be loose and wild and liberated.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: Because you'reaking out.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 18: Oh yeah, we talked about that, Okay, we let the
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 18: girls talk about that, the show that they was grabbing
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 18: the dudes.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 19: You know.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: Ways both ways, we.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: Got more with Jamaine Dupre when we come back. It's
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 2: the Breakfast Club.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 15: Good morning morning, everybody, it's DJ Envy, Jesse, Hilari Charlamage,
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 15: the guy we are the Breakfast Club is still kicking
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 15: it with Jamaine Dupre.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 9: You think Uncle Luke's music helped our hurt Freaknick.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 18: It helped between Uncle Luke and Social Based All Stars.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 18: That's the soundtrack of Freaknick, you know what I mean.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 18: And it was like I also think now with Miami
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 18: shutting down spring Break and all that, it's the music.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 18: Nothing's making you dance, right, nothing making you jump on
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 18: top of the cars. You see people doing it, but
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 18: they doing it to music that don't really have that vibration.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 18: Right at Freaknick, the girls was dancing so hard and
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 18: the guys was dancing so hard. You ain't had time
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 18: to be worrying about nobody deside, Like the energy level
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 18: was just too high, right, And I just think the
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 18: Loop music, like I said, the social debase. Also, the
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 18: music was making you dance in a different space and
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 18: it made you think about you was like this and
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 18: it wasn't You don't have time to be like hey, no, no,
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 18: you know what I mean. We ain't come down here
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 18: for that. We came down here to see these girls.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 18: Let's go see these girls. It's almost like the mentality
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 18: of a man when you go to the strip club. Right,
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 18: I go to strip club every week. You go to
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 18: the strip club. Guys don't come in the strip club
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 18: looking for me. They come in the strip club to
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 18: see the girls.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 18: That was the mentality of Freaknick, And for some reason
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 18: that's that's kind of lost in the space that we
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 18: live in now.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: I just want to go see what other is wearing.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: We'll speaking of that.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 9: Speaking of that, if Freak Nick didn't come back to day,
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 9: would you wear the boss Baby outfit?
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: You were the super Bowl boss Baby outfit?
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: What was it?
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 9: What was what was the what was the inspiration behind
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 9: that outfit?
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: Gey?
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: First of all, I had on a tux seed though
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: with shorts very similar to what I.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: Have on to day.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: I have on a tie, a regular suit shirt and
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: I got on shorts.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 9: It's very boised men.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean everything.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 18: And it's Vegas, right, you know what I'm saying. It's
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 18: it's a super Bowl. It's the biggest event in the world.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: I could have went up there with the start jacket
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: and started hat How regularly is that?
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: Though?
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 18: Like I'm just saying, I think sometimes people don't realize, like,
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 18: I'm in an entertainment business and I'm getting ready to
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 18: do the biggest show of Usher's life, not in my life.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 18: I guess you want to say, We're going on the
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 18: biggest stage in the world and I should be wearing
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 18: a baseball cap and looking like a regular ass in
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 18: the streets.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: Nah.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 18: Nah, I mean that's that was the thought behind it, right.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 18: So it was more or less like a while ago,
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 18: like Enviewoman, we started this thing called the Ocean seven, right,
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 18: and it was me Usher, John ta be Cox All.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 18: We used to go to Vegas and we got dressed
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 18: and we'd be dressed up. So I wanted to actually
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 18: have a piece of that in what we was doing
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 18: that you know, we in Vegas. Like, you don't go
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 18: to Usher show. I seen you at Usher show. You
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 18: was dressed you and you know what I mean. You
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 18: don't go to Vegas with your football on. You just
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 18: don't do that like you did to get people talking. Basically, No,
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 18: I didn't do it to get people talking. I didn't
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 18: even think nobody was gonna pay no attention to it.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 18: I had on a tux seed though with a tie
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 18: in a regular shirt. The socks threw people off.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: They were talking about. They't they didn't care about the
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: tucks they were about.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 18: They were talking about the socks, right, and the socks
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 18: once again, the socks. I understand why if I keep
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 18: saying something about the socks because they do look like
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 18: I guess what they say the Bobby socks.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but they not did. I don't have nothing to
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: do with that. They don't look nothing like that once
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: you get up on the socks.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 18: Like I said, it's just I don't know. It's my
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 18: man's line, right. First of all, that's another thing for relse.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: My man ain't doubts man.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 18: Right, I don't notice it. So in support of my
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 18: homeboy line. I mean, I wasn't even thinking about it.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 18: You know, it just happened. But I mean, listen, I
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 18: put my first group out of nineteen ninety two. I
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 18: was trending in twenty twenty four. Yeah, y'all can say
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 18: what you want to say.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 9: Still got number one records. What did US's Super Bowl
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 9: halftime performance mean to you?
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: Everything?
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 9: As the architect, really the architect of us yet we're
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 9: being honest.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, everything, It means everything because when we made my way.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 18: The discussion that he and I had making that record
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 18: was that he wanted to get to that space, and
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 18: once he got to that space, he wanted people to
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 18: realize he did it his way. That's how that whole
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 18: album came about. So for me to be in that
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 18: seat and watch it go from my way to this,
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 18: I probably was the most proud. And then at the
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 18: same time, I mean, you know, he did six of
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 18: my songs on It's you know, it's not a bunch
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 18: of say crazy, They had six of these songs performed
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 18: on Super Bowl. I argue with somebody up here the
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 18: other day when when they heard Confessions, right, younger person
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 18: and they were like, yeah, he wrote confession. I was like,
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 18: you know, confessions about Jamine d that Jamaine the pre
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 18: wrote that that's factual.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so yeah.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 18: So I mean I wrote you Make Me Want to,
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 18: I wrote My Way, I wrote nice and Slow. I
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 18: wrote Confessions. I wrote you Got It Bad, I wrote
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 18: my Boo. I wrote all these songs. I mean, you know,
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 18: people be like breaking it down when they when they
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 18: talk about it and they say confessions, but nice and slow,
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 18: all these songs I wrote, you know what I mean, Like,
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 18: so it's just the story of Confessions, I think took
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 18: over and it was like I was that guy.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: I was the person that was in that position. But
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 2: it happened right when he broke up with Chili, so
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: people were just assumed that he was writing it about Chili.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 18: Yeah, but that was yeah for something. Yeah, And I
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 18: mean even when writing it, I didn't think about I
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 18: wouldn't even think about that. You know, you just go
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 18: to the studio, you write songs. It's not even about
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 18: I mean, sometimes you have a motive behind it. But
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 18: we was trying to just follow up.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 12: I know I was.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 18: I was trying to follow up you got it back.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 18: It just came off eighty seven to one and it
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 18: was a big album. So it was like, what y'all
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 18: gonna do this time?
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: Is us the biggest jewel in your crime?
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: Mariah Carey Song of the decade?
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that man Pasion was a monster.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I mean, he's definitely Well, let me
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 2: say this.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 18: Rolling Stone said that Confessions is the R and B
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 18: the number one R and B record of this twentyth
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 18: first century, right or twentieth century or whatever it is,
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 18: twenty first century. So I mean, if that's the if
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 18: that's a true statement, then I guess so, I mean
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 18: that's a big record, that's a big statement.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 9: Do you think Atlanta as a whole is getting documented properly?
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 4: No?
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 18: That's why another reason why I want to make sure
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 18: that this documentary gets the stage that is on. Shout
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 18: out to Hulu Disney mass Appeal for actually allowing us
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 18: to finally tell our story on this stage. Because just
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 18: the first story from the South that's ever been told.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 18: And when I say that, I said that at south
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 18: By Southwest, and people was like what And I'm like, what,
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 18: what's the what's the Atlanta story that you know? What's
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 18: the Southern story that you know? You from the South?
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 18: What stories do we have that people know about the South?
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 18: Besides atl is not a story of the South rise
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 18: and the culture hip hop. This is the first time
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 18: that we get a story about our culture and how
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 18: outcasts popped.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: How why you know, social death?
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: Oh damn?
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: Why Luke said bank head and scarred? What was the
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: reason for that?
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 18: Like you ain't never wondered? Like he from Miami, he
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 18: talking about bank here it bounce like why he was
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 18: saying that?
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: Freaknick? You know what I'm saying that?
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 18: And this the first time that, Like I said, the
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 18: South gets set that look, Hollywood never felt like our
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 18: stories was important.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 15: If Freaknick never happened, would Atlanta music blow up as
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 15: fast as it did, No, Because what's that little thing
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 15: with the you know when when when you put the
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 15: little roach trap down and the roaches get in there
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 15: and they go back to the They yeah, but I'm
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 15: saying the raid.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 18: But it's a little trap that they show on TV
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 18: and they take the food back to that.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: That's what Freaknick was for the South.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 18: People from Virginia, people from New York, people from Baltimore,
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 18: people from DC, people from everywhere came to Atlanta. The
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 18: DJs in Atlanta was playing bass music, so so that
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 18: Base All Stars, Luke Skywalker, blah blah blah blah. Kids
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 18: went back to their hoods saying, Yo, we was in Atlanta,
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 18: just they playing Atlanta.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: We was doing in Freaknik or they somebody saw the video.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 18: That's why the music spread that way, right, That's why
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 18: it spread it in so many places because these people
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 18: took it back home as if they had discovered some
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 18: new thing that wasn't happening in the house in the neighborhoods.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 18: And at that point, if five hundred people go back
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 18: to Virginia with their same mentality and it spread, then
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 18: Virginia starts sounding like Atlanta, right or whatever that's you know,
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 18: So no, it wouldn't. I think Freaknick was definitely our mixtape,
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 18: you know what I mean. Freaknick was our mixtape that
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 18: made people say, oh, it's going on down there. It's something,
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 18: you know what I mean. So that's definitely it. We
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 18: we I don't know what would have happened if we
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 18: you know, it would have been a slower pace.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: How we got more with JD.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 15: When we come back, it's the breakfast Club, The breakfast Club. Yeah,
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 15: when back we are the Breakfast Club. NVJS, Hilarius and
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 15: Charlamagne the guy, we're still kicking with Jamine Dupree, he's here.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 15: I got a question, how bad was it when the
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 15: labels it seemed like, you know, watching the doc I've
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 15: seen Craig mac performing, I've seen Biggie performing. How bad
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 15: was it when the label started touching Freakni? Did it
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 15: commercialize it to make it worse?
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: Not at all. No, it was all good.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 18: The concerts actually was helping because all these black people
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 18: in the park, smoking weed, drinking, doing whatever they want
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 18: to do, because if nobody was governing this, right, it
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 18: was just you know, y'all just want to go do,
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 18: go ahead.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: That's just how the city was open to it.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 9: And now you're about to turn around and do the
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 9: Magic City docu series, right, Yeah, Magic City in American Fantasy.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we know what it's.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 18: About, Yes, but it's also the same thing as a
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 18: story about Magic City that I don't think people know. Like,
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 18: the story of Magic City is so much more deeper
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 18: than just a strip club, right, and how Magic figured
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 18: out a way to make this one club a worldwide situation,
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 18: you know what I mean. And then people always keep saying,
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 18: they like, why is Drake involved? Because Drake is from
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 18: a different country and he wants to come to a
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 18: little bitty strip club in Atlanta. That's crazy. I don't
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 18: even know how you supposed to think about that, because
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 18: I'm not from a different country, but I'm saying to
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 18: be in a different country, we in the United States,
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 18: I don't want to go to I heard nothing about
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 18: nothing in Canada that make me want to fly there
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 18: on a Monday and be a part of it, right,
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 18: this place. Is that crazy that it's made people in
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 18: Toronto want to come to Atlanta on Monday.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: I think you have to hear about this.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 18: So it's just like I said, it's just highlighting things
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 18: that happened in the South that we haven't we haven't
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 18: had an opportunity.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 9: So what helped elevate the Atlanta music seemed more Freaknik
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 9: in Magic City?
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: Freaknik really yeah, okay, because.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 9: You always hear about records breaking in Magic City.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 2: And that was after the fact that by the way,
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: that's me saying that.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 18: That was that was something that I talked about once again,
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 18: Like I said, you got to remember, I wasn't in
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 18: the clubs in a eighty two, eighty three, eighty four.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 18: I couldn't get in no club. So I wasn't even
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 18: making music in eighty four. But so even at ninety
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 18: two when Crisscross came out, I still I was only nineteen.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 18: I still couldn't even get into Magic City. So that
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 18: period where I felt like the strip club became the
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 18: mixtape was a later nineties activity.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: Before that, freak Nick was running the show I saw you.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 9: I think it was with Gail King and Carrie Champion
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 9: and all them. You was talking about how if a
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 9: woman couldn't understand you being in the script.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: Club, she wasn't the woman for you.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So if that was a deal breaker off the
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: time of really.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 18: Yeah, because I'm saying like, I'm gonna use you just
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 18: as an example, if me and Jess was talking and
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 18: she came to Atlanta and I said, we're going to
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 18: Magic City tonight and then she was like, well, you know,
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 18: I don't really strip club. At that point, you you
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 18: have broke our synergy. You flew to Atlanta to stay
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 18: at my house while I go party with my homeboys.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 18: Now when you when I really nice house. But I'm saying,
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 18: but when I go to the strip as a woman,
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 18: her mind's gonna start doing this.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: I asked you to come with me so that your
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 2: mind wouldn't do that. But you want to stay at home.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 18: And wait till I get back, and then come back
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 18: possibly smelling like a strip club these questions.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 2: And then we're gonna have a beef.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 18: You it up from the jump or by allowing you
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 18: to just stay at home, I should have just made
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 18: you come. So I'm just saying, ultimately, if this is
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 18: part of your life, this is part of my life.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 18: So you got to know that that's happening, that's gonna happen.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 18: It's interesting because when I was dating Janet, I try
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 18: to not take her. I was going to ask you,
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 18: but I fought it for the longest. I wasn't in
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 18: the space mindset that I'm in right now. Because I didn't.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 18: I wasn't paying attention to it. Like the way I'm
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 18: telling you. I was thinking like, oh, if I take
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 18: her in, and when of them girls gonna tap me
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 18: on my shoulder that i'dn't been with and she gonna know.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 18: And then I was thinking about all the bullet Nah,
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 18: if this is what you do, what you did in
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 18: your past is your past.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 2: I'm with you.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 8: Now.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 18: Let me see what's happening. Why you want to go
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 18: there every Monday? That's what her question was.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: Did she understand after she went why you wanted to
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: be there every Monday? Yeah? Of course.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 15: Now what does JD get to tell his story and
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 15: goes through it so people can understand what you've did,
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 15: what you produced, the artists you've broken, and talent that
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 15: you created.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 18: I mean, I think the freak nick Dot helps that
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 18: helps me get into that space because for the longest
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 18: the South has been ignored. It's just what it is,
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 18: and I'm part of that cloth that's been ignored. You
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 18: gotta think at nineteen, I put out my first group
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 18: that everybody knows. I wrote and produced every line and
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 18: every beat in the music, and they first single a
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 18: top one hundred single.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 2: Right, how about Chris CRUs Kris Krust.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 18: If that was sports like football and basketball, they'd call
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 18: me a freaking nature right. But the fact that it
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 18: was the South, they treated us like we weren't even
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 18: hip hop, like that's some gimmick. So then it made
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 18: people ignore the fact that the person who ushered in
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 18: young people rapping, if it wasn't for them as a
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 18: young person, you wouldn't even know that it was possible
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 18: that you could have a record deal. Who else has
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 18: come out since bow Wow that you know? Bow Wow
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 18: was the only other person that did it, and I
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 18: put him out. So I'm just saying, it's the stories
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 18: have been ignored, so somebody, you know, at least we
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 18: get one story, and we got two stories hopefully that
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 18: you know from that, it'll it'll get in test space
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 18: so you can actually see it, and then people won't
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 18: have this misconception about what they have about me.
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 9: And you know, when people talk about you too, JD.
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 9: They got to talk about the fact that Mace thanks
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 9: you for being the first person to pay him is worth.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 9: You introduced Biggie, you know, to a land in a
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 9: lot of ways, and then so who knows how that
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 9: inspired him and JV with money anything. It was an
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 9: introduction to the South in a lot of ways. So
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 9: you got to get credit for that too.
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, but that's what I'm saying. It's like,
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 2: like I said, it's been ignored. That's all you can do.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 18: Like I said, if I was in New York, I'd
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 18: be the kid. I mean, even like today, you don't
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 18: know a person. Y'all don't have a person. They can
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 18: come up here this year that had its first number
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 18: one record in nineteen ninety two and got a record
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 18: that's number one today. You'll never you won't see nobody
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 18: else come up here to this station this year.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 9: Damn, that's actually true.
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: You won't know, not this year.
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 18: I mean I don't probably won't have it next year either,
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 18: But I'm saying no, my first number one record was
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 18: in nineteen ninety two. I have the number one R
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 18: and B record in the country today.
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 2: You relaunch your social death.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 15: Yeah, as far as label what artists you have or
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 15: you're looking for artists, I know you gotta go, but
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 15: are you looking for artists?
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 2: And are you putting the sign back up in Atlanta?
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 18: And that says, oh yeah, I'm putting a sign back up.
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 18: I'm not if I'm supposed to say this, but anyway
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 18: I can say, I'm gonna say it anyway. You know,
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 18: BMF comes to Atlanta or they're in Atlanta right now.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 18: You'll see in the BMF series that the sign codes
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 18: back up. And at that point when that happened, I
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 18: was like, okay, you know, as many as watch this,
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 18: I'm I'm gonna have to put this sign back up
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 18: because you know what I mean. So now we're gonna
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 18: put it back up on an artist heep. I'm looking
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 18: for new artists. It's just my you know, That's what
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 18: I wanted. I one of the space for me to
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 18: continue to keep putting out new artists. I love putting
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 18: out new artists. I'm not scared to put out new artists,
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 18: and I don't think nobody else could do it better
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 18: than me.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 9: When you paid Mace what he was worth.
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: Did you do that just the upstate? Did he?
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 8: No?
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 18: You know, when I pay people, I don't know. I
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 18: don't know that I'm paying them more than you know.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 18: You know, I don't have that conversation. I just go

• 1:25:24
  Speaker 18: you know, when I signed Harlem World, I wanted to
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 18: make the deal because Mace kept telling everybody in every

• 1:27:29
  Speaker 2: So you know, you take a.
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 19: Brand like something that's more famous, you know, like an
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 19: Uncle Nearest, our Uncle Nearest.

  Speaker 2: They've won multiple awards. They are one of the top,
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 2: you know, awarded whiskeyes.
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 19: But at the same time, we've been getting awards since
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 19: twenty sixteen when I first actually dropped Michia honey.
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 9: What is it about the honey flavor? I you've heard
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 9: about the honey fleet? Was that one in the middle, Yes,
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 9: let me the honey flavor? What about this one that
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 9: makes it stand up?
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 2: There's no honey flavored vodka on the market that has
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 2: the test of time. But that right there is the
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 2: product that I created. First.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 19: I didn't want to just go all the way on
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 19: the Tito's model, so I went with something that was
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 19: exclusive to me first, and and that's that's been the hit.
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 2: That's our flagship, and then we bought out.
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 19: Then then then I went to the to the unflavored,
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 19: which is also gluten free and kosher, And then I
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 19: went to to Cranberry and now in the spring of
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 19: the summer, we'll be releasing Mango and Passion.
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: And y'all you hooked up with the NBA too, right
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: in the seventy.
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 19: Six, Yes, seventy six, and I've done multiple spots with
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 19: the seventy six. Is it looks like via Ara Mark
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 19: will be programming in Wells Father Center coming for the
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 19: next season. Out'll be coming, which would be pretty good
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 19: again relationships, you know, doing good in the community.
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 2: We do a bunch of just a bunch of stuff.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 19: I sit on every single board, diversity board. I just
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 19: try to just do the best thing that I could
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 19: possibly do it from the community standpoint of it.
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 2: Now, is it proble?
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 19: Yeah, Like I said, you know, it's just like uh
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 19: owning your masters and being an independent you know, so
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 19: instead of my margins getting chopped out, our own distribution
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 19: and as a company, we owned distribution not only in Pennsylvania,
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 19: but we also owned distribution uh in New Jersey.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 15: Question, so why was it so difficult for Diddy? Didn't
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 15: and he had his own tequil it and it seems
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 15: like he couldn't get distribution. He couldn't do it himself.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 15: He was We've seen videos of him going liquor store
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 15: to liquor store, and it seemed like stores really didn't
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 15: want the product, right, because it was no distribution connected
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 15: to it. Why is it so difficult for people to
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 15: get their foot in the door, especially with him, because
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 15: you figured, like with him, it wouldn't be a problem
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 15: because he's Diddy And this was before the as you said,
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 15: car crash.
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 19: Right, So we're legitimately less than one percent of the market, right,
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 19: just being minorities, right, We're legitimately less than one percent
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 19: in the market. So again, it's the difference between what
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 19: baggage your cat, right versus Okay, here's the story of quality, right,
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 19: here's what our lineage is, Here's who our star face is,
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 19: and that's got to be the way people get connected.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 19: I'm not saying you know, obviously you know that that
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 19: people didn't want to be connected to Diddy, But there's
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 19: the the Diddy angle and then there's the product angle.
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 2: It's you and you got to be able to have
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 2: that separate.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 19: I always believe that if you're going to take the
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 19: product just because of the fact that I've got a celebrity,
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 19: how many times are you going to buy that after
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 19: the fact, you know, proposed quality. It's always about the
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 19: the you know, the value proposition got you.
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 9: And you're uh, you're you're connected with like music Fest.
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 19: Two music Fest, so we are now so music Fest
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 19: is uh, we need you to come out there and
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 19: should come into Allantown. So we connected with music Fest
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 19: roughly about about two three years ago. Became a small sponsor,
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 19: blew it out of the water. The next year we
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 19: removed another vodka sponsor that was there, got them out
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 19: of there. Then it was us and Jack Dame's for
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 19: the main stage, and then this year will we'll be
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 19: with a partner the I don't think that we can
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 19: say exclusive legally, but we are the partner that's programming
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 19: all of the vodka for North and South Side. MusicFest
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 19: does one point three million people a year, which is
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 19: which is an excellent opportunity.
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 2: Obviously to get liquid slips. That's been our model.
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 19: We want to be able to get liquid slips in
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 19: order to be able for people.
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 2: We feel like we can win hands down all the
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 2: way around by doing that.
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 9: We appreciate and you got a partnership with Lehigh Valley
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 9: Children's Hospital. Yes, how the hell did that work?
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 19: So we're not giving okay, but what we are, but
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 19: we are basically trading the sales for cocktails and it's
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 19: going back into our local children's hospital.
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 2: So that's a blessing.
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 9: Well man, how do how do we support Michigan?
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 19: I mean, look, we've got multiple ways. Our website is
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 19: Musica Premium Vodka dot com. Where still again, like I said,
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 19: we we kind of gave public goal friends just to
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 19: be able to get folks like us involved. But also
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 19: at the same time at drink Mishka is our handles
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 19: across social media, so all those things are good ways
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 19: to be able to kind of plug it and play
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 19: for us.
• 1:32:13
