  Speaker 1: happening well anywhere anywhere? I want to ask y'all something,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: man um. I got a roommate that's a path the
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: logical liar, you know. So I'm trying to be his friend,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: but it seems like he'll tell me something in a
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: few months later here took me something different, and he'll
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: forget the lie told and he'll never admit for lying.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: And I want to be the guy's friend. But you know,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: can would you be a friend with somebody that you

  Speaker 1: knew was lying to you? No? Independing what they're lying about.
• 2:58

• 3:02
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I'm one of those people. I like

• 3:06
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you I'm lying. You know what I mean,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: But it ain't nothing serious. For instance, he's got a
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: really nice car, you know what I'm saying, And he

  Speaker 1: told me his car was played off. So then a
• 3:14

• 3:27
  Speaker 1: those lines, don't it? Because you have to speak, that's right,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: and we got to speak. But like they say, it's
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: nothing lie that necessarily offends me. Still he assorts my
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: intelligence because I know it's the line. Damn. You know
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. You know why you upset? I'm gonna
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: tell you why you upset? You upset because you ain't
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: calling him on his lie. See, you can be friends
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: with anybody if you accept who they y'all. So, whenever
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: did he do do stuff like that, you gotta be like, man,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: shut your lie ass up. I know you lying. You
• 3:54

  Speaker 1: Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Charlemagne the guy.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: We are the Breakfast Club. We got some special guests
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: joining us today. We got who we got. We got
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Charlie Walk and Stephan Man's welcome me. Thank you very
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: much for having us. Now, Charlie Walk, if people don't
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: know who you are, let's start off in the you
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: do some of the history. It's some of the things
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: that you did in this this thing we call the
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: music industry. You know. I started off for early, like
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: when I was at Columbia Records of eighteen. My first
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: job was to work with like LLL cool j Into
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Slick Rick into new Kids in the block. So I
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: got the sense of like, real artist development, real artists
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: did the work. That's sort of been the way it was.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: When we met Destiny's Child, Beyonce was fourteen. There were
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: five girls in Destiny's Child. I don't know if you
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: guys at the beginning, none there were three. Wow, So
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: we got to see when Beyonce walked in the room
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: with the mom and dad at fourteen, you were in
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: the presence of greatness. You knew it before, no, no, no,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: right before all the hits. Yeah. So I always say
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: ours are born, not made. And I think one of
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: the reasons why we're here today is we're talking about
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: like this crazy TikTok thing where everyone thinks they can
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: cheat and cut the line right and go like this
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: and pray to God something happens. But the real stars
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: do the work. I mean, look at you. How long
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: it take you? Right right? Did you do the work?
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Did you just go on TikTok and say, hey, I'm
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: the start. So I was an intern. I kiss want
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: to wait in Boston wow, back in the day, because
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: I wanted to get into business, and I started working
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: with talent. The first thing was like new Kids. There
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: was no there's no MTV or YouTube or TikTok was
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: like FM radio was your only narrow lane. If you
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: couldn't get through that, no one heard you. So how
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: do you break, right, You got to go through. You
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: gotta go through community. And the biggest stars actually broken regions,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: right community. You look at the biggest rappers did the work.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: So what's happening now is you're just no one's developing talent.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: The labels are taking stuff off TikTok. You guys have
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: to play a lot of crap, right if you really
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: think about it, not sticky stuff, you play songs, but
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: how I'm an artist, you guys really get excited about.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: In the course of a year, it's gotten down to
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: very low numbers because of sort of that TikTok thing
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: where people just going up and throwing you know, hail
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Mary's so, you know, but back, you know, back in
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: the day we did that and then in the last
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: many years, you know, Ariana Grande at the Weekend. The
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Weekend was a big part of my life at the
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: beginning when we were trying to figure out how to
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: take like the Prince of Darkness but haven't play wide
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: but still stay within brand. And so we were part
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: of like the transition of like kiss Land that album too,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Can't Feel My Face, And that was a really great
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: thing to like have someone that created his own brand.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: But how do you figure out how to get the
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: stadiums and arenas. I think the biggest stars do that,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: and I think that's why, you know, we worked with
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: a guy like Stefan. We met him at twelve. If
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: you heard the audio that was sent to us at twelve,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: you knew the kid had pitched perfect tone. And then
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: you have to sort of like imagine and manifest the future.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: What's he going to look like at fifteen or now
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: sixteen or seventeen. And if you get in early enough
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: and you developed a talent and you don't chase the song,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: you chase the artists, you end up but you know,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: real career, this is kind of like where I'm at
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: today thinking about it takes longer, you don't make money
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: right away, but at the end of the day you
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: end up in a stadium in arena. Damn. So it's
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: the fun. I gotta be pressure for you right right here,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: and all I got. I got this pressure. I mean,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: I'm from South Africa. My parents moved here just for
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: me to do this, so I got pressure from there.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: I got pressure from this. But you know, I think
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: that's when I do best. Honestly, what made you come here?
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Because you know the South African music scene is over
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: the last ten years, it's so huge, so big, so
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: many stars. So I made you say, you know what
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave that scene and come to the US. Yeah.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: I got signed in South Africa when I was like
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: nine or ten years old. I was super little. I
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: met this record label over there and I sang in
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: front of like ten thousand people. Like three days later
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: I opened the show. It just went crazy in South Africa,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: and I was like, you know what, Hollywood's the entertainment
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: capital of the world. Let me and my whole family,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: my little sister, I'll just go over there and try it. Literally,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: let's just take a gamble. Let's go try And I'm
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: so thankful for my parents for that. You know, my
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: parents believes in me enough to just go gamble, like,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: just go see if if anything happens, and it did.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: What's this science behind real stars? Well, first of all,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: they have to want it more than you. Okay, they're
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: the CEO of themselves. They have vision, they're not puppets,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: and they have a work ethic like you've never seen.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Taylor Swift is the most intense, incredible, focused artists I've
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: ever seen in the world. When I met Beyonce at fourteen,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: she it was it wasn't like fun. You don't go
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: and have fun with the artists. It was serious art
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: conversation about the music and what it's going to be
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: and what the brand's gonna be. And they always would say,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: like the general thesis is and artist is a brand.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: A brand is a promise. What's your promise? And they
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: knew their promise. Sobody, parents call me and hit me
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: up on DM my kid TikTok. TikTok's fine, but it's
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: TikTok is not the platform that's going to break you.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: It's you and your art right, TikTok's reels, all these
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: things come and go. It's the content that you're feeding
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: into those platforms that's gonna snackable fifteen or thirty seconds
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: of great that's gonna maybe go viral if you did
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: the work right, it's not gonna be TikTok. So so
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: that's I try to preach that more than ever. And
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: he hates TikTok. He he doesn't, he doesn't care about
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: it because he's chasing his art, not the song in
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: the moment to be goofy. I'm more far more interested
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: in in my craft and being better at what I
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: do every single day than and especially when when I
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: post a TikTok and it's like actual good stuff that
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: I do when I take time to do a cover
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: does worse than me doing some stupid lipsync trend or
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: some you know, some stupid thing. So you guys understand,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: like you have to be goofy on TikTok, like it
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: forces you right, right, you have to being goofy. And
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: this kid, I'm not being goofy like you have to
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: do obscure goofy things to get into the algorithm to
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: possibly be in the four you page to go to
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: go viral, right, goofy like he doesn't want to do
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: a goofy I'm not going to get in a fight
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: about it. So he's just gonna stick to chasing the
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: artist versus chasing the song. And you know, not being
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: a one hit wonder. And those one hit wonders are
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: like cleaning our apartments, not like what do we do?
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Like what are you doing that? Ship? I well, no move.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: We got more with Charlie Walk and Stefan Bans when
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. We are to Breakfast Club. We're still kicking
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: it with Charlie Walk and Stefan Man's welcome charmage. How
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: much does it cost to break a great artist. It's
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: still a cost, right, a lot of money. And I'll
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: tell you why. So it's years number one, right, do
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: we agree it's years money? Okay, He's got to eat,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: he's got to travel, he's got to have a crew.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: And I don't mean an entourage, but I mean we
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: have an amazing publicist, We have amazing stylists, we have
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: hair and makeup, we have studios, we have people that
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: are you know, betting on him sharing in the future
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: revenue of songwriting and production. But I would say it's
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of three
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: or four years. And so so you know, you have
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: to So what I do with our company is we
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: deploy capital to fund and we become partners with the
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: artists and uh and we're making the bet and by
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: the way, we better be right. I apologize for the
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: damage I've cost. And that's about American Ato. You are
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: on American Idol, right, Yeah, when I was, oh man,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: I was so stressed out. Apparently American Idols twenty one,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: which is crazy. It's the twenty first season I went on.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: I was approached by American Idol that asked me to
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: go on the show, and I went on an audition.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: You know, it's Katie Perry, Luke, Brian Lionel, Richie. And
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I usually don't get too nervous, and if I get nervous,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: it's super like internal. I don't usually show it, but
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: I remember I was like, no, it's good. Like it's
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: just me singing in front of three people in a room,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: like I'm just gonna look at them. Usually that's where
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: I feel like I thrive. And I look at I
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: walk into this room and I'm like so nervous, Like
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: I walk in and like I have a water right now,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Like I needed water so badly. I was so scared
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: that they were gonna pick up my mouth being drawing
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: on the mic. Like I wanted to ask right, like
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: if you're from a small town, you don't got no connections,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: you know, no no real money then best, but you
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: got a lot of talent you wanted those What do
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: you do to get an opportunity with somebody like you child?
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: You mean, how do you get someone's attention that? Actually
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: I could do it. I think what stops me is talent.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: You know, It's like it's like, how do you stop
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: the scroll on Instagram what makes you? And you're going
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: you know, you guys lying in bed at now you
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: wake up in the morning, you're going to getting ready
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: to do the big morning show, and you're scrolling through
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: your stuff and you get producers and but you're looking
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: for something to inspire you. What stops you to make yourself?
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about that. It's the same exact thing.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: So if something stops me, I stop and really pay
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: attention to why did that? If that stops me, I
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: try to be in the mindset of I represent everybody, right.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: It's not about like me having an ego. It's like
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: if I'm feeling it, my temperament for I hit record
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: or start and I'm representing everybody. My mindset as hot
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: as a play wide. So for me, the way people
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: like find me, they hit me on DM and I
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: look through every DM and I listen. We pay attention.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: You got to be in the culture, right. I try
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: to be timeless about it, like I'm an og but
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: I try to be I try to be in the
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: culture by listening to I don't want to say younger people,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: but people that are in it that I respect. If
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: you said to me if you pull me aside after
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: him and say, Charlie, I'm telling you my cousin Janey
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: just sent me something that's amazing, Like I haven't seen this.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: I would like stop what I was doing and go
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: maybe go see her right now. It's like I'm like
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: that because like you're connected and you're not. You would
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: not normally say that to me unless you felt it right.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: You just never know when great can happen at anytime.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: So the idea is if you if there's greatness, it
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: somehow finds its way. I see you got to gatar there.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: You're acting like you want to do something about you

• 24:03
  Speaker 1: I did a record on this Harrod fraud album I did.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Then I named the record Jermaine Duprey because it reminded
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: me of when I've seen Bro on MTV cribs, so
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: it made me speak on it. Named the record after him,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: and then he heard it and he hit me. I
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: was like, just come to the studio, like you should
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: come through, like let's do a record. Well what I
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: thought was just come do a record, but then we
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: jammed up, like it fell right, and we never stopped working. Man.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Let's go back to that MTV cribs thing, right, because
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: you know nowadays and you see rappers doing that that
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: looked like this everybody flossing, But back then it really
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: used to inspire people. So what we're talking about that, yes,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: like dude had the icebergs, I don't just all the
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: stuff that was out of my reach and that time,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, And like they always see
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: it like hot kids like soft black panthers, like yo,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: you look like us, like this hit right here, you
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, So you could do it because
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: the onlyest people I ever seen on that was like
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: I keep telling them, how colden and then baman coming like,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: so how was it working with j D? It was like,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: you know, honestly, it was like a dream, bro, because
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: I've been in the game for a long time and
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: just on the outside look. And then that's one of
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: the people that I figured that was like somewhere else
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: that's out of space, you know what I'm saying. So
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: you speak on it. You know, if I named the
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: record Jermaine Dupre, I never thought I was gonna meet
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Jermaine Dupri or anything. That's why I let y'all never bet.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying, Like y'all both be outside, like yeah,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: but two different it's two different worlds completely, like he
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: and his group of people in the section may include
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: like who you want to just throw names around, all right,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: and it's me and the homies not gonna It's not
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: gonna happen, you know what I'm saying. So it's just
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: great that it did. And it's like when I thought
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: I was gonna go to the NFL the NBA, I
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: used to look on the back of the cards and
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: look at people's birthday and see who would be in
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: the league when I got there, you know what I'm saying,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: And like this, this is like that, just exactly like
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: that how I was working with currency. It's you know
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: what I was, Um, it's it's it's it's interesting because
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: I don't we never talked about songs like usually, I
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: talk about what we're gonna do prior to even making
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: a beat. He rolling up, I'm making a beat. I
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: don't know what's gonna happen. I don't even know if
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: he knows what's happening, but it just happened. We never
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: made one record where we talked about what we were
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: gonna do. It's just organically happened. So I felt like,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: you know, the first five records that I saw this happened,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, this is this is what organic I
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: guess feels like it means. Right by the time we
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: got to ten, I'm like, oh, okay, this is this
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: is really something different than than what I usually. You know,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: usually it's a process of like, we're gonna make a
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: song like this, and we need to make a record
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: like this, and we need to do this and put
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: this person on there. We ain't had none of them conversations,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: but we got to that process at the end of
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: the songs. You know, currency you've been out for so long,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: you put up so many records, and I feel like
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: the world is doesn't necessarily give you the credit you deserve.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: And the same thing with yourself. JD. Do you have
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: that those kind Yeah, we don't have the conversation like
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: but but we just it's an understanding like you know
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: that that's why we do what we do. But we
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: also noticed and notice what you did. We just keep putting,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: you know, putting the numbers up there. Work. I feel
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: like you have to do that when you're from the South, though, Yeah,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: if you want, if you want people to if you
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: want that and you have to do that, yes, you
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. If you just want to take
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: care of your family, pay the bills and ball out
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: on your own accord, then you don't have to do it.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Like I always say, like I still want to go
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: to Walmart and look for high wills and you know,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: I want to go in a ferrari or something. So
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: I work hard enough to do that, you know what
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. But I'm not worrying about the others that
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: come with it, because all the guys of noble always
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: be like, oh, I'm the king of New York hip hop.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Wayne didn't get into conversation, so he said he's the
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: best rapper. Yeah, Tia, I didn't get into conversation, so
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: he said he the king of the South. I feel
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: like when you're from the South, you have to say it.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: You have to. You have to. You know, the South
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: always gets slighted. It just just what it is. It's
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: not a it's not an old no, we don't it's
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: a true fact. It's we get not as much anymore.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: No really really, we just really got this really bad
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: recently at the Grammys. Yeah, yeah, no, No two live
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: crew listen, Luke Scotwalker is the reason that the parental
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: advisory sticker is on every rap record in the world. Right,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: how do you do hip hop fifty? And you do
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: not put the person who put that sticker on these
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: records on the show. If you're gonna slight Luke, They're
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: gonna always slight jamad debris because I'm saying I don't
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: think I did the parental advisory thing. I haven't done
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: anything that's that monumental too. This is this is forever
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: in hip hop. This was on your mixtapes. This is forever.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: This is something that everybody had to feel because of
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: what they did in Miami. And you can't put that
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: man on the show, right, That's a fact. Yeah. But
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: you have a look back and think about, you know,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: some of the things that you've created, right, like, because
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: it's a lot of this stuff came from the tree
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: of Jamaine dupre your Social death right, people that work
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: for you, that was intern people that you employed, and
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: you ever look back at that and be like, people,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: this is from my tree. Most people don't know. Yeah,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: we talked about by the way yesterday. We had a
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: listening party last night, but prior to that, we was
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: getting ready for listening party, was doing a photo shoot
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: and they was playing Never Scared right, and he was
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: like why. He was like, why are they playing this song?
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, that's my artist and he was like, wow,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: like this all right? I was like, what played this?
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Is this like so so deaf? Like all right? So
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: they played the ones you know for sure they're supposed
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: to play, like after by Wile Bounce with Me went off,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: came up right, So I was like, oh, they're just
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: mixing it up, like playing some stuff I knew that.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that. I didn't know that. And then
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: when he was talking to me about that, the young
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Blood drecord came up. Yeah, Little John Yeah, and I
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: was like, so this one too, you know what I'm
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: saying that fuck me? I'm like, I didn't even know.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Like he was like, yeah, now they would sign them. Yeah,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: a little John used to work for Jimmy dupri Yeah,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: this is the tree that you this stuff. That's what
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. If he don't know this, I don't know
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: what he was in the restaurant with escaping them in
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: the video. That's all I knew. I was like, did
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: all that? I know, I'm saying, that's the ones I knew.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: I didn't know. I didn't know that he that he
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: did that album for young Blood and I had no idea.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: You knew the franchise boys right now? Yeah, I know
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: all the people didn't see me if you hear me, Yeah,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: so you know what I'm saying. But I didn't know.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that. So it's crazy because they put
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: this list out of executives. I think yesterday or whatever,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: the thing was like the top ten CEOs, and somebody
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: was asking me, do I think I should be high
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: on the list, and I'm you know, I don't care
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: about that list, but I should be hired. But because
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: I'm sure they did the exact same thing he's doing,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: they not even factoring in half of the artists. That's
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: that's come from this tree that you speak up. But
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: history has to matter, right, because you know, you can't
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: have a mount Rushmore of Atlanta without JA. Yeah, but
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: you know, so if Atlanta, if the way people real knew, right,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: they're gonna put the architects of New York on. You
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: gotta put the architects of Atlanta on. Yeah, I just
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: think that, you know, modern day Atlanta is so hip
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: hop and I was doing both, you know what I mean.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: I got I'm responsible for a lot of R and
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: B that comes from Atlanta, and I'm responsible for a
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: lot of hip hop from Atlanta. And I feel like
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: the mind set them now when they talk about it,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: CEO today, it's all hip hop. It's all hip hop.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: So even in that space, people try to like, I
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: didn't know you did, Anthony Hamilton, you know what I mean,
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: It's like you try to move out a lot of
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: the things and it's it's it's just a I think
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: it's just people just not living in the arrows or
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: just not knowing if you don't see me, because it's
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: crazy because I'm the only person that I feel like
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: if I put my tag on the record, they know,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: but if I don't say nothing, I just try to
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: be straight CEO and just like I'm putting out records,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: people don't ever mention me doing them songs. Projects like
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: this is something you feel like you got something to
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: prove what this project? Yeah? No, I mean I feel
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: like I feel like this, this project is really who
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: I am. This record, this project is really what where
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: I actually come from. This is rat this is what,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: this is how I started. It's a reminder to let
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: people know that though, because I think, like I said,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: when people start talking about Jamine the pre the first
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: name that come out of people with Mariah Carry or Usher.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: I'm a hip hop guy, you know what I mean.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: I write songs, you know, with the gift that God
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: gave me. But I'm I'm from the hip hop world,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: and that's what it did. All right. We got more
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: with Jermaine dupri and Currencies, So don't move. It's the
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: breakfast club the morning. I think everybody's DJ n V
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Charlemagne the Guy. We are the breakfast club. We're still
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: kicking it with Currency and Jamaine Duprie. All right, what
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: makes you work with with new artists like we've seen
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: you did Division's album. What makes you say, you know what,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna dive into some of the new artists that
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: are not mine as well. I mean that's how I always.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's always, that's what I did always. I mean,
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: I Usher became a staple of mind because I did
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: the same thing as I did with Division. When I
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: did Usher, nobody you know us the face was gonna
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: drop Usher. It was like Jermaine either works, so all
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: of y'all it's out the door, like you know what
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: I mean. So it's like I've always been that guy
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: to just like y'all believe in the artists. I like
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: the artists. Let's go on the studio. I don't even
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: look at it like that. And I had to do
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: that at first. But then when I did R. Lennox
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: and her record went number one, I was like, why
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: am I not doing this for all these other artists
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: out here? They need it. It ain't even like a
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: thing that I'm doing for me. They need it. They
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: need somebody in the studio with them that can help
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: them take them to the next level. When you hear
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: the conversation, like when you hear him say Usher versus
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Chris Brown in the verses, I think Chris is dope,
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: but I think Usher got nuclear weapons. I just think
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: it's a difference between the twenty Usher would come with
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: and the twenty Chris would come with. How do you
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: feel about that? I mean, I think it's like hip hop.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: It's like currency, right, he got way more records than
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: a bunch of people, Right. I think that's where people
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: look at it. They think about how many records Chris
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: has and how many times they hear him. You hear
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Chris one hundred million times more than you hear Usher.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: So I think that's where people start basing verses on.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: You're speaking on songs. People don't even listen to songs
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: past thirty minutes. Right. I were watching my daughter player
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: record and the verse don't even get done. She don't
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: get through sixteen bars. She's going to another song. Right.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: They don't measure the songs like you're saying. So I
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: feel like the young generation they all gonna say Chris
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: Brown because they're not measuring how big the songs are.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: But if you're a song person, you know for sure
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: what's up. Yeah, So you think I should watching me
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: with I'm just saying, you know, if you're a song person,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: having them songs as mine. So I'm fighting for my records. Yeah,
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Now I want to ask currency to You've been independent
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: for a long time. Yeah, yeah, that break that back
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: from my success, like really everything that anybody like really
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: like no, the bread. Anytime I got picked up money,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: it was all through the independent thing. You're independent. You
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: have to do everything yourself. You have to play, pay producers,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: pay clearances everything. Yeah, does that get tiring? No, I
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: got I got my home boy. You know what I'm saying, Musa, dude.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: You know we like split everything. So it's easy as
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: long as you get out your own weight and handle
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: it and stop comparing yourself to other people in these situations, like,
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: just just do your work. When you look up, you
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, you realize what you've done and
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: where you at. I was gonna ask you what made
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: you create? Just like the clothing brand? Well, I always
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: was into like fashion, I always want to like put
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: stuff on and some was not out some ideas that
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: then I miss a lot of clothing line stopped doing
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: stuff that I liked, and I was a I know
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: what to do. We'll just do our own and keep
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: it in that vein of the stuff I missed and
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: that's what it works out for. Oh yeah, it's surprised
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: with the amount of support you get from the clobal
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: long Yeah, I see it everywhere like I have a model,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: So I have a model. I am. I am? Nah, bro,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: you are a great spokeshed person for the brand. I
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: have a mottel bottom. So look, man, I am surprised
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: on places where I don't expect to see it. And
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: you could tell like that didn't know that they're having on.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: It's not like some kid gave it to his mom
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: and she's a grocery store. I'm talking about people in
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: the note such as yourself. We have it on like
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: like Nas after he wins the Gramm. He's got the
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Jet Life jacket on, and like a lot of them
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: had a freestyle that went everywhere and she had the
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Jet Life letting them in jacket on. So it's like,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: even though I'm not in those rooms, I'm still in
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: those rooms. It's tight because they know what I mean,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: you know, so they bring it everywhere whether they feel
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: like I should be at anyway. So it's tight. So
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: how'd you get a love for frontiture? I like the
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: chill and it's all about finding like comfortable chilling stuff.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: So we're gonna make our own the same reason like
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: I didn't necessity, the same reason we did Jet Life clothing.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like we need better stuff
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: to chill on. So I'm gonna feel the void. You
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: be sitting in the couch like this. I don't like
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: I don't like this. Mother, ye get them like, you
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: know what this not? This's not really kicking on. So
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: we're working on it. You know what made your name
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: the album? I mean the records. Well, it's a rivalry
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: between the Falcons and the Saints. This is a real thing, right.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: For the longest, when we first started working, I was like,
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna do an album. Once we got
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: passed the first Sin songs, I kept thinking in my head,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: if we're gonna do an album, we have to make
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: something that speaks to that rivalry because we ain't supposed
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: to be cool when that game come on, right, So
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: we can't act like we don't know this, Like this
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: is something that you know. If you're from Atlanta, you
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: know that. If you're from New Orleans, you know that, right.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: So then we both start trying to find out why
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: it's a rivalry. But then it's also a love there.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: It's a love that you know. If you're from Atlanta,
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: you talk about going to Essence Fest in January, it
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: don't happen till July. Right, this is something we prepare
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: for the top of the year. People like, yeah, you know,
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: they're getting their clothes ready in January to go to
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: New Orleans. And I feel like it's vice versa when
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: people come to Atlanta for the games from New Orleans.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: They come out there and they have a good time.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: They love the city. So it's a love hate situation.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: I think the one thing that brings that love and
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: that hate together is the essence fest right. So it
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: was just only right. And then once we got to
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: bounce the record, and it was to bounce in the vibe,
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: and he had never wrapped over a record like that.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: Now that he's a full fledged professional artist, it just
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: made sense to bring all of that in and not
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: leave one piece of that out. I think brings every
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: piece of shut. The fact that the first time you
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: heard Get the gag, oh yeah, I heard it at
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: a party and that's when he first heard. So, you
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: know the way my mind work, I'm like, no, that's it.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: The gabble dropped right now, that's the name. That's the
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: name of it. Get. That's a New Orleans classic round Yeah.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: I told him, like it's in the fiber of all
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: the music that ever came out after it from New artists.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Everybody who rapped has wrapped over that beat. Like the
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: first rap you ever wrote was over that, I promise.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Like in the club you ever been to, you could
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: have been eleven years old. They knew you could wrap.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: That was the beat they put on for you, just
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: cana rap and you had to wrap over that straight up? Jad,
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: did you create one or six apart? Yeah? I mean
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: you know, see the funny part about this is that
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm a CEO, right, so this this goes
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: into the world of like what we're just talking about.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: If you don't see jamn ain'ty pre working, you don't
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: see me doing what we gotta do, You're not gonna
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: believe anything that happens, right, Okay, So when I brought
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: the kids from the rap game, he remember this, He
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: was like, nobody want to see no kids? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: out of here. Yeah. Because I'm saying that's that's what
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: That's what's happened, right, So that's the same thing that's
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: happened here. If you what I should say is JD congratulations. Again,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: nobody says that. Don't want it said the same congratulations,
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: But I'm saying I say that to say that if
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't have brought them here. Y'all saw the kids.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: You've seen them from scratch before there was ever anybody
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: if you didn't see it, and nobody else, and people
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: have forgot about that show at this point. And I said,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: I created a TV show that introduced you to lotto.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: Somebody would challenge that. Somebody would challenge you and say, no,
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: you didn't. So it's the same thing I saw MTV TRL.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: I drive at I see all these kids outside on
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: in Tom Square, and I'm like, damn, why black kids
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: don't have a show like this? Right meanwhile, I'm making
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: the Bow Wow record and I'm like, BT needs to
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: do this now. If they had this idea and they
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: mind prior to me saying this, then God blessed them.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: But I'm saying, what artists was they gonna launch that
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: show with? Because I provided the artists that made that
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: show what that show became. It wasn't no Chris Brown
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: before Bow. It wasn't no Little Romeo before baut It
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: wasn't no littles. And I think somebody got mad at
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: me for saying the little because I disagree with that.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: It was a little kid. It was a little John.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: I don't generate. I'm clearing this up. I meant the
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: littles of his era, not the little John's. Yes, a
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: little person forever. I'm just saying, I'm talking about all
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: of little Romeos Zane like who I mean, I don't know,
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, these people that came that
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: bow lane. That's what I meant. But if people don't
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: realize that, you know, that's why people don't even understand
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: that I'm the one who gave Biwaw the name is
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: the one those six apart, BT didn't give him that name,
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: So why would I name him that, You know what
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, why would I put that in a
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: verse to say I missed the one those six in
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: part I didn't want the credit for one th six
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: and part right, I'm not even saying. I'm not speaking
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: on it now about me wanting the credit, but I
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: know that that's what happened. So people can take however
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: they want to take it. All right, we got more
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: with Jermaine dupri and currency, so don't move. It's the
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: breakfast Club in the morning. Morning, everybody's dj n V.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: Charlemagne the guy. We all the breakfast Club we're still
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: kicking it with Currency and Jermaine dupri Charlomagne, I don't
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: understand you and all the relationship be Yeah, why don't
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: you just grab and put him in the headline, give
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: him a nugget and then y'all family. When he says
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: things like he regrets signing to you, it's like your
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: JD made you a superstar. You know. It's the same
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: thing I said. Kids up today and this generation of
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: hip hop, we have a lost appreciation for thing. And
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: that's why I said about being with currency. Everywhere I go,
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: I'm seeing people don't have appreciation for hip hop and
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: that has become a thing in the hip hop now too.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: I appreciate the things that came and got you to
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: this space. And because he was it was like it's
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: a father figure to him. Yeah, but I know he
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: was like his son. I feel like the outside world
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: makes you not appreciate that. That's what I'm saying. It's
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: that's what it does. It's it's the hip hop world
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: that we live in right now. Don't appreciate you for real.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: Like when I wore the hot top fade the other
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: day in the video, right it's people on there that's
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: so much more concerned with me thinking that I want
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: to wear this at my age and saying I'm going
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: to a midlife crisis as opposed to looking at it
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: and saying that's what hip hop did. Right. Hip hop
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: may do any and everything, and we never had a problem.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: We never questioned it. It was because it was hip hop. Now,
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: if you do something that hip hop makes you do,
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: or if you even try to, there's no appreciation for it.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: And I think that's what that is. And I feel
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: like Wow is in that space where he has to
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: deal with you guys, he has to deal with younger guys,
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: and the media definitely don't appreciate nothing until it's until
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: it's over with. But it's just certain people like I'm
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: never gonna fight with Right, and we can fight behind
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: the scenes. I'm never gonna fight with Clue, Right, That's
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: that's my brother. I'm never gonna fight with Fab. Even you,
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna fight with you. You know, we could
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: get into an argument, but it just seems something else
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: was there, which is just hard to understand because I mean,
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: I don't fight that fight argue, you know what I mean?
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't. I mean I only I don't
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: reason to argue. I mean, I feel like I understand it.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: I understand that's what I'm saying, But you don't understand
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: it because you haven't had to deal with a person
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: that has to go through this. This a rapper, right,
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: you're a rapper. You say this, you're a rapper, and
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: people challenge you. If you write your lyrics, people challenge
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: you on this, people challenge you on that. It's hard
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: for a person to actually deal with that if you're
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: not prepared for me, Like, I don't give a little
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: body will say about me because I know what I
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: do and I know I'm out doing everything the damn
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: that everybody else is doing, so I'm not even paying
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: no attention to it. But the majority of people, they
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: can't deal with it. That's why the instagram is where
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: the instagram is because every time somebody says something, people
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: are right, and that's I feel like that's where he is.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: He gets caught up in that, and he's got caught
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: up in that a lot without me being around. He
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: got caught up in that they created or what the
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: baou challenge. I wouldn't have part of that, right, How
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: do you deal with that as a person, he had
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: to deal with it and you killed him. Right, it's
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: just listening to it, you know what I'm saying. You
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. And it's like when a person
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: is dealing with that, they become they just get tight.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: They want to you know what I mean. So then
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: you want to try to like make it seem like
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: you got it on you hand, you got it all
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: on you know, it's you got it, it's your it's
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: my thing. So it's like it's just a situation where
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta know how to deal with it.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: And you don't get coaching by this. I didn't teach
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: him how to deal with that part of life, but
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: he asked to know. Somebody eventually gonna do that to
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: him too, and they do do it like people will
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: take away act has just always been on Instagram like Superstar. Yeah,
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's what I'm saying. There's no appreciation for
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: anything in hip hop anymore. Damn you feel that we
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: currency to no as he's saying it, I'm peeping around
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: like that. That is, they just wipe that all out.
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: Do you feel like people don't have appreciation you hip hop?
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: I feel like appreciation for what brought what brought them
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: into it? Like what me? Did you want to do it?
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: That's all? You know what I'm saying, It's not it's
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: not why why you want to do it? Everybody's doing
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: it now like the same reason everybody started selling friendship puppies,
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: like they just wanted to get money. It's just a flip,
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. There's not no real loving
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: and you're selling friendship puppies. Yeah, people see that. That's
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: the way, Like that's the new dope. So they're like,
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: let's just do this right quick. Now. Let me ask
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: you a question. J D and pup are supposed to
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: do versus who you got your money? I roll with
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: j D at basically based on all of this that
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: I'm finding out, like oh you did this, you did that,
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: Like yesterday, I had like a revelation. I'm like, I
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: don't know how this would actually look when you're reigning
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: these artists, like people gonna be the same way. I
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: was shocked, and I think I'm fun in the game.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: I know everything you know I was saying, but I
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: was like knocked on my ass. Yes, that's what it's
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: gonna be. A whole arena of people like, oh you
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: know he did? Oh wait, all right, well yeah, I
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: don't know. Goddamn you know like that that's what's gonna happen.
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: That's the way I see it, straight up. Like, I
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know how many records puffle bring
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: out that. I'm going back. I know that I think
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: I know every he did. I think I know it.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: You know, So how do you feel about it, j
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: Because a lot of people don't, don't. I actually see it.
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: I see the chart, right, you know what I mean.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: It's like, but like you said, it's not only the records,
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: it's also the what that record did for the culture, right, Yeah,
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: you know. I mean I was, like I said about
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: the Chris Brown thing. I believe that in versus world
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: people won't give it to us because of the way
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: the mindset it's been, you know, been treated. We've done
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: that battle in him with kids, Like with kids like
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: like twenty five, twenty six, Usher Catalog still risk timeless
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: to them because their parents were listening to us. Oh
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: I forgot about Oh I forgot about it. I didn't
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: know seven o'clock get around. Yes, I mean I'm the underdog.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: I'm not even tripping on that though I'm the underdog.
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: That's not true though I'm not and that and that thing. Yes,
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: it was the veggest card I think. Yeah, you know,
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: everybody like the favor would be you know what he
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: would be, that he would be the underto I'm talking
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: to me that people would haven't paid attention the No
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: they haven't. But that's what I'm saying. I'm not underdog
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: because it's like people who everybody they sit around, they
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: say he can't match up, and they only talking about Big.
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: That's it. How long I've been saying that. That's all
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: he said. You just say big, he said rap. That's
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: why I say this should be an R and B
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: remix versus take out the Road because you can't beat
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: the biggest records because it not only because they're great
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: records in nostalgia, BIG's immortal. Yeah, that's that's That's the
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: only reason why people say he can't match up because
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: they're talking about Big, Biggest Big. But I'm saying it's
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: if it was a fight. I don't go into the
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: fight thinking I'm not gonna get punched. You know what
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, it's just when I throw mind and when
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: he throw is that's what it is. It ain't about
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: he got punches. I got punches too. You know what
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. It is what it is. Is it gonna
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: happen for real? Or is it just talk? No, it's
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: gonna happen. It's bigger than what people think. What we
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: want to do is bigger than what what everybody's thinking about.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: And we want to make sure that you know it
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: come across the way it's supposed to come acros. Y'all
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: do it. You gotta do figure out how to do two,
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: because you can't just do one in Atlanta, Atlanta, in
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: New York. You gotta got to pick a neutral Locationlotte
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: or something. You gotta do what you gotta do. Atlanta,
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: gotta do Atlanta, you gotta do New York. You gotta
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: do Apolo, And you gotta do R and B in remixes.
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: Do R and B in one city, hip hopping another.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: And see the problem with the remixes. I saw somebody
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: saying this the other day, Half a Bad Boy remixes.
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: I didn't right to the Big Popper remix. I did
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: it right right the Total and Keith Burry, I did
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: it right Total first record that ever came out, got
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: brad On on it. Right, It's how do you score that?
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: How do you score that? You gotta drop those out.
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: You can't drop them out, That's what I'm saying. It's like,
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: you know, so you do the rema. But I saw
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: somebody saying but in New York, we ain't played that
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: JD remix, And I was like, oh, okay, my remix. Yes,
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: we did the Biggie the Big Papa remix. Did I don't.
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying I'm seeing people say that on Twitter.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: But either way you do it, it's gonna be a
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: fight whether we in New York or were in Atlanta.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: Either way, what came first? Was it we invented the
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: remix bad Boy album or the definition of a remix
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: Social Death album. I think mine was coming first, and
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know which one came out. Yeah,
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean the remix thing has always been
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: a battle between us. But it's interesting, like I said,
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: because Puff was using me for remixes. It's not like
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: I was challenged for him. Back then. It was like,
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: go to Jad and get a remix for Big Papa.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: Go to Jad and get a remix for a total.
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: All right, we got more with Jermaine dupri and Currency,
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: so don't move. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning. Yea,
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: we are the breakfast Club. We're still kicking him with
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: Currency and Jermaine Duprix, Charlavage. I always wondered how much
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: influence did you and Atlanta have on Big, because you know,
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: we saw we saw y'all in Big videos, a lot
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: of all Big in y'all videos, and I remember hearing
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: somebody said Big. I think it was jails. Somebody said
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: Big was gonna move to Atlanta at one point. We're
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: trying to everybody in Atlanta. I mean, well, I don't
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: know about that, but he and I spoke, Me and
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: him talk all the time because we was on tour,
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: was Me, Bratt and Craig Mack. We was all on
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: tour and we was doing like the Chitland Circuit, and
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: in that Chitland Circuit run, Craig Mack was the hottest,
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: then Bratt and then Big, and Big was frustrated with
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: the fact that his records weren't as popular as Functified
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: and Flavoring at the time. And that's actually how I
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: got to do the remix because Big felt like he
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: needed me to get into that space where Bratt was.
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: The record was out during that time Juicy in New York,
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: the Chiland Circuit, the Chitland Circuit round where we lived
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: at in Atlanta. It hadn't caught yet. So, like I said,
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: the flavoring you didn't functified. And then Juicy, I mean
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: people with it, but they weren't head over hills and
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: it was driving him crazy, and he talked to me
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: every day about doing a remix, and I finally did
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: Big popa remix, and then that's when we did the
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: B side with him at Bratt. He came to Atlanta.
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: And when he came to Atlanta, yeah, he probably you know,
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: because I brought him to College Park. He came to
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: my hood and did that song, so he probably soaked up.
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: I need to move out here. That's basically the same
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: thing that happens to everybody when they come out. There's
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: one last day thing. You see what young Jock said
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: about you and did he said? The difference between you
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: and did he is that did he understands marketing? And
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: that's what he got over well, I think he said
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: that did he took his artist tree him as an
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: artist more serious than me. Um, he's right, I'm all
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: about making a new artist. I'm all about putting Oh,
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: I was all about putting out artists. You know, even
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: like this this album, man Currency got. I'm rapping on
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: the record, but I'm not rapping all over the record,
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: because you know what I mean. That's that's who I am.
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: I'm a producer first, and I've always been that way,
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: and I think that that's you know, that's one thing
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: that he was saying. But even the jock was signed
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: and Social Death for one day before that Bad Boy
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: deal and Block and Block switched it and they went
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: to bad Wood. I didn't do that he signed. If
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: he signed, I'm saying he was signed because the person
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: who produced the record was signed to me as a producer,
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: signed the Social Defensive producers. So I wasn't even pressing
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: because I'm like, I know this is my song. We
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: was that virgin at this time. I'm like, I know
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: this song is coming over here. It's easy, right, And
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: I had already had the franchise. Well he's having all
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: the success. I'm like, it's no way, possibly you don't
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: give us this record. If you find the first version
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: of It's Going Down, it says social deaf at the
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: beginning of the record. So I was cool, like clearly, like,
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: oh we got this. I went to sleep, woke up
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: the next morning. How did that happen? I didn't actually
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: sign him, right, It's like, you signed to me. I
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: know you're gonna do the right thing for song, and
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: you already don't say social deaf at the beginning of
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: the record. So I'm like, oh, it's got my tag.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: It's got a tag on it. Already, were cool. I'm
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: gonna go to sleep, you know what I mean. So yeah,
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: it was that. That was that situation when it's going down.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: But you ever go back and think about the fight
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: that you had to do that, I think a lot
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: of people don't know which opened the doors for a
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: lot of those Southern artists. That's what it's. That's one
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: of the other statements I said in the interview that
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: people was like, jermin' it's all cap jaman, it's just
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: cat And I'm like, all right, listen. It was a
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: time in New York when Southern rappers was not on
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: the radio at one, two, three, four, or five o'clock
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: in the afternoon. Right, and I was frustrated. I'm like,
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: you know what, we gotta figure out how to get in.
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: I hired Envy to introduce me to the streets in
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: New York and move around to people to see my
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: face and beat more out here. Nobody from the South
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: beat the streets like me, you know this, right, And
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: the way that we beat the streets and we made
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: never scared a permanent state record in New York. We
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: put Cameron Buster runs and we did everything to make
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: sure that the South was, you know, represented well in
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: this town. And then the Young Blood's record, and these
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: two records became so popular in New York alone that
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: you heard them like there was Atlanta. To me, that
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: was the beginning of all of these other records being
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: heard on the radio the way they heard today. And
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: I remember they told JD they like me. Yeah, they
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: told JD to take the franchise boys off, just leave it,
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: Jamae dupree bout in the brack. That's the only way
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: that they were gonna spin it in the wo with
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: everybody's selling their catalogs. You think, y'all too whatever, think
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: about selling y'all. I understand how why people do it.
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So I don't know. They
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: call me with four hundred millions, all right, you know
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: how many generations of us are gonna be okay off
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: this four hundred tickets? You know, maybe we'll do it.
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm waiting for all my reversions, y'all.
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: Don't hear people talk about that much. But I'm waiting
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: on mine because everything that came out of ninety two
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: is coming back to me one hundred percent. Everything that
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: came back in ninety three, ninety four is coming back
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: to me one hundred percent. I wrote one hundred percent
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: of all of the Escape records. I wrote one hundred
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: percent of Chris Cross, I wrote one hundred percent of
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: usher my Way. When they come back, when they come back,
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: because you'll have a deal with Sony as a publishing situation,
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: but the reversions, it comes back to me, and I
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: don't have a deal with them. So when the reversions
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: come back and somebody walk up and they got that
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: ticket heat, and you know it might be it might
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: be a conversation explaining that Jad because you've always been
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: the CEO. So I didn't like, even with writers, you
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: have to give over some of the publishing now you
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: make you make a publishing deal when you were younger.
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: I made a publishing deal when I was like, what nineteen,
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: That's when that's when I got my money they gave me.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: You know, you give them million dollars. That's the first
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: million dollars I got from that, Sony. It's like a
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: fifty fifty split publishing situation. I've been over there since
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: I was nineteen, which is a long time. But you know,
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: they get all the songs, so all the songs that
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: you make, they go into this thing and you and
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: you know, I recoup two three times. Right. I could
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: have left a bunch of times, but I stayed by
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: the way when I started writing songs to hear that
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: in twenty five years you get your reversions or whatever.
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: I never even thought i'd make it that long. So
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: I'm saying I'm here. I'm past that point at this
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: point now. So now I'm like, come on, oh, last question,
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: WV escape who opens up? You just heard that discussion
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: this week? Yeah, I heard it was pretty sticky. I
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: went here for both of y'all. Think about on the
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: records they got if I was still if I was
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: still like the front running mindset of escape. I would
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: have escape it open because the pain that they're gonna
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: put in before you know, coming coming after escape is hard.
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: They really can sing, right, so it's like, and I'm
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: not saying as WV can't but oh yeah, I'm not
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: saying they can't sing. I'm just saying I've always had
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: that mindset. I've all always had that mindset about me
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: as an entertainer, like, let me go first, because I
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: feel like it's harder for the person to figure out
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: what they gotta do afterwards. I remember saying jay Z
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: saying he went on after DMX one night and DMX
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: took his shirt off and he started pouring water on him,
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: and he was backstage like, man, what the I'm gonna
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: do when I come out there? That is the mindset
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: that you had right until you get out then and
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: the crowd make it different, but put that pressure on
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: the person to make them sit back there and try
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: to out what they're gonna do when they come out.
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: That's what I would do. Yeah, I think I think
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: they should do different markets s WV, New York, certain
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: areas I think they should close, but Atlanta escape out
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: of closing Atlanta yeah, I wouldn't even argue about it.
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: I just because I don't I personally feel like that
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: closing first thing. I feel like that's just all it's mental.
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: I remember going to the Triple Threat concert and it
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: was Albi sure BBD and I want to say, Bobby Brown, right,
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: I love all of them. BBD was busting Bobby Brown ass.
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: You know for the time period that they came in,
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: Bobby brought you know, he did he had to do
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: and pulling up the rib. But I'm just saying them
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: being where they were, it wasn't a bad slot. It's
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: not a thing that I was thinking about, like, damn,
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: BBD should have closed. They was killing it. I mean,
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: poison was at the height and poison at the time
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: when I saw this, it felt like they should have closed.
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: But you know, when Bobby came on and tender Roni
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: and all these records came, when you realize why he
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: was the closer, right, So I just feel like me,
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: I look at that performance slot thing different. All right, Well,
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, make sure you pick up the albums
• 58:06

• 58:50
  Speaker 1: The Breakfast Club bitches Donkey and Lella Lease. She's twenty
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: six years old and she's a Canadian woman who into
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: the nineteen was convicted of impaired driving that led to
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: a massive explosion in London. Y'all might have forgot are
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: never heard of Daniellow, but she played guilty of four
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: accounts of impaired driving and she would send us to
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: three years in prison. In twenty twenty one, can I
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: refresh your memory? Let's go to CETV News for the
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: report Police twenty two year old Daniella Lee's faces a
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: dozen charges connected to the blast that rocked the Old
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: East village mid August. Police faces charges including impaired operation
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: over eighty milligrams causing bodily harm and four counts of
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: criminal negligence causing bodily harm. On August fourteenth, emergency crews
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: responded to the Woodman Avenue address for a collision. Once unseen,
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: responders noticed the smell of gas, and within minutes the
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: house exploded. Police believe the vehicle hit a gas line
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: one it collided with the home. Now, roughly one hundred
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: homes had to be evacuated and seven people were injured,
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: including multiple first response Jesus Christ. Well, you know, we
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: live in the world where nobody holds themselves accountable for nothing. Okay,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: nothing is never default of the person, all right. Blame
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: always has to go to someone else. So Daniella is
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: blaming someone else for this. She's actually filing a lawsuit
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: against Ovations Ontario Food Services, alleging that the company shares
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: some of the liability for civil lawsuits filed by the
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: victims of the blast because they served her alcohol. Yeah,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: she's blaming it on the alcohol. I can't make this
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff up. Let's go to SEETV news for
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: the report. Police the kitchen or woman behind the wheel
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: and an impaired driving crash that destroyed and damaged several
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: homes in London is suing the company that served her
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: at Budweiser Gardens that night. Daniella Leiz is facing a
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: number of civil lawsuits in relation to the August twenty
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: nineteen crash and says Ovations Ontario Food Services should share
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: liability now CTVS. Chris Simpson is joining us Now with
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: more this story. Krista. Before the crash, Lees was at
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: a concert Ricardo. The statement of claims says, among other things,
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: the company served her alcohol, didn't monitor how much she
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: was drinking, let her drink more than she should have,
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: and ejected her from the venue without making sure she
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: was not going to drive impaired. In October twenty twenty,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: Lees pleaded guilty to four counts of impaired driving causing
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: bodily harm, ultimately being sentenced to three years in prison.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: Lee's lawsuit against Ovations Ontario Food Services says the crash
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: would not have happened if the company had not been negligent.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: You know I came up in an era when drinking
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: and driving with a choice. Okay, you can drink, you
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: can drive, you can drive. Are you can drink, but
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: you cannot do both. Okay, we had so many reminders
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: not to drink and drive. You know, South Carolina had
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: the Highway to dieways commercials. I don't know if they
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: were national. I think they might have been national Virginia
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: had to drive sober or get pulled over, though one
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: might have been national too, I don't remember. But remember
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: the buzz driving is drunk driving campaigns. I know the
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: Texas Texas had the faces of drunk driving ads. I mean,
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: don't drinking drive was literally drilled into our brains since
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: day one. Okay, not to mention this happened in twenty nineteen,
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: all right. The rideshare revolution has been happening for a
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: long time. Okay, the lifts, the Ubers of the world.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: There was somebody you could have called Dan Yellow. Now,
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. We know that some bars can
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: be held liable when they know a person is intoxicated
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: and they keep serving them. I don't know if this
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: is one of those situations. Okay. The lawsuit is saying
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: that they knew she was intoxicated, and did not train
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: a supervised staff, serving alcohol, and put profit above safety.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know if all that is true. I don't
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: know if all that has proven. All I know is
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: that in the drunk driving case, the primary defendant is
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: the drunk driver. Okay, we live in a society where
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: nobody wants to be held accountable for their actions. It's
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: always somebody else's fault. She's better off saying the devil
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: made me do it. Okay, if you're gonna blame somebody,
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: blame Satan, Lucifer Bezel, Bob Trump, whatever you call the devil,
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: she might as well have put the blame on that
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: evil entity, because all that is more believable and makes
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: more sense. But at the end of the day, we
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: are all accountable for ourselves, simple as that. Accountability breeds responsibility.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: So whatever you see someone doing something as irresponsible as
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: Daniella did, it's because she's probably a human who has
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: never been held accountable for anything she's ever done in
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: her life. Okay, that three is in prison she's serving
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: right now is the first time she's probably ever been
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: held accountable for her actions. And of course she doesn't
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: want to take full responsibility. Well, kids, always remember ninety
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: nine percent of all failures come from people who have
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: a habit of making excuses. Safe to say, Dan Yellow
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: falls under that ninety nine Please let Ruby mind give
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: Dan Yellow leise the bigga see hall heh heh, you
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: stupid motherfuck? Are you dumb? All right? Well, thank you
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: for the donkey today. Because the Breakfast Club, Good morning,
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club Power one O five one, the Breakfast Club,
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: Your mornings will never be the same an angry outburst
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: or like lose your temper while you're fasting, or like
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: spoils your fast. You know, it's really just about like
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: going from the inside out. And I do want to
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: say that I think this year is also like really
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: significant because yesterday we just commemorated the twenty year anniversary
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: of the US invasion of Iraq. And having that also
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: kind of come into this moment from some woman's day,
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: I think it's so powerful because, you know, the war
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: on Iraq, I think is like the biggest modern day
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: example of how devastating media misrepresentation can be for communities
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: like ours, like minorities that are underrepresented. When we allow
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: other people to tell our stories or speak on our
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: behalf like they did with Iraq for example. You know,
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: we're saying that they had these weapons of mass destruction
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: that we had to go in and, you know, like
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: save the world from and lo and behold. Obviously one
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: of the biggest blunders in American history. There were no
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: weapons of mass destruction, and we ended up going into Iraq,
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: the home of one of the oldest modern civilizations and
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: the history of mankind, and completely obliterating the country based
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: on total misinformation. And a lot of that misinformation was
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: representing Muslim women as being oppressed and we had to
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: go in there and rescue them. We had to go
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: in there and liberate them and save them. And I
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: started Muslim Girl because it's our way of talking back
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: that we show Muslim women have a voice of our own.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: There's no such thing as being a voice for the voiceless.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: It's about empowering people to use their voices for themselves,
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: you know, like who gets to tell our stories? Who
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: who gets to hold the pen? What about action? Though
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: you're a time of person, you actually went out there
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: ran for Congress. I feel like sometimes this generation only
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: wants to be on social media and it's just words.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: I don't think so, you know, I think I think,
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: especially when you're born into it, it's really powerful to
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: have that fluency. You know, Like modern technology today is
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: its own language. And a lot of people talk about
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: like armchair activism. Right You're like you're sitting at home,
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: you're tweeting about things whatever or whatever. But all those tweets,
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: all the shares, all all the things that you really
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: talk about online. That shifts public opinion, and public opinion
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: is powerful, you know. Public opinion is what decides if
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: we're gonna do, like publicly support going to war with
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: a country that we've never even heard of before, people
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: that we've never even met before. Public opinion is what
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: decides if we're going to really give a damn about
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: human rights. Public opinion is what's going on right now
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: with with what's happening with Trump. I mean we're also
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: talking about today Trump might get indicted. He might become
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: the first president in American history to get indicted. I
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: think that happens. You don't think it's happening. No, I
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: don't think this country will. I would truly know how
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: to punish that level of whiteness and that level of privilege. Yeah,
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: and I don't if if he ever dug it and
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: diet it won't be potty charged in New York maybe
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: maybe Georgia. Yeah, you know, I still think Merritt Garland
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: should be first, you know what I mean, But I
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: don't I don't see you maybe though, you never know.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: How you talked about Islamophobia, right, Is it gotten better?
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: Is it gotten worse from the last time we spoke
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: to you? Good question. I think that when you don't
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: have a psycho like Trump in office, it kind of
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: makes people feel like the urgency isn't there anymore. You know,
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: when you have someone literally launching a Muslim band and
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: sing an entire group of people can't enter the country,
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: obviously it's gonna you know, flare off like the alarm bells, right,
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: And then when you have a president like Biden in office,
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: it kind of makes people think like everything's cool again
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: and all of that. But I think what Trump taught
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: us is that the hate is there. Minorities have been
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: talking about this for generations, that racism exists, you know,
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: like we didn't need a racist to come into office
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: to prove that to anybody. But what he did was
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: really let it come out and the open now it's
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: just going back underground again. Doesn't mean it's not there,
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean that it does not still nely to be addressed.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: Absolutely does. Um is making his way up to New
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: York right now because they think that they're god about
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: to get into bad. Yeah, they have what is they
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: having a drive through? What's like a drive to They're
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: gonna be driving from Long Island the mega cars. There's
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: hundreds of them. They're gonna be driving from Long Island
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: out to think. What made me think about it is, Uh,
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: every time I see a movie or they talk or
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: they talk about nine to eleven, I just wonder how
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: crazy does it get for you? Because I think TMZ's
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: doing a fifth Plane movie and they talk about the
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: fifth plane that was hijacked and nobody talks about And
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: I was wondering, damn, every time that comes up, there
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: is it you get stairs when you go to the airport,
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: do you feel like they pull you to the side,
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: Like does it get worse every time? Oh? My god, yeah,
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: especially like when you're living in New York. For me,
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: most of my life, like the anniversary of nine to
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: eleven was like all right, I gotta wrap my headscarf
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: for different ways so that people don't realize that it's
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: like a Muslim scar I gotta like hot, of course,
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: like it's it's scary, It gets really scary. And you know,
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: even with like the group chat with my friends, like
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: guys like you know, be on alert. You know, every
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: time there's like a mass shooting in the news, we
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: all collectively hold our breath praying that it's not a
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: Muslim because we know that we're all going to pay
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: the price for it. Meanwhile, obviously, like the number one
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: you know, profile of like mass shooters are like white man,
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: yeah exactly, and like they like you don't see the
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: collective paying the price for that. You don't even see
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: like the government making any moves to address that. Meanwhile,
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: like you know, nine to eleven happened, and ever since,
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: we have to take off our shoes when we walk
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: into the airport, you know. And also I think a
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: huge part of it too is just the way that
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: we're represented, you know, like you when you think of
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: the idea of like who these hijackers are, what a
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: terrorist is, they're men that look like my father, my brothers,
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: my cousins. You know, like people that are just stereotyped
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: and grouped into one huge monolith. And when you do that,
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: that's how you can dehumanize an entire population of people.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: Was still kicking with a Monnie, So don't move. It's
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: to breakfast Club. Good morning, Armagna. We all to breakfast Club.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: We're still kicking with a Monnie. Charlomagne. Well, we all
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: get excited when we see ourselves represented in the arts, right,
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: like TV film, I wondered for you, did Miss Marvel
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: do anything for you? Being you know, set in Jersey.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: First of all, I am this Marvel brown Jersey girl
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: with superpowers. Okay, but yeah, I mean it was really
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: cool because Muslim Girl became the first Muslim media to
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: ever cover a Marvel red carpet when we covered the
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: premiere of Miss Marvel. So it was like a really
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: beautiful full circle moment. And I think that those are
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: the stories we need to see. Are you kidding me?
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: Do you know what impact that would have had on
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: me growing got if I saw a Marvel superhero that
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: I could resonate with and connect with. Actually, there was
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: this really interesting conversation that I had with Seanda Rhimes
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: about Gray's anatomy, and she was talking about how that
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: showing these diverse women of color within the medfield, it
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: directly correlated with like a skyrocketing of women of color
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: entering into medicine, you know, and like studying that. So
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: just think the effect it has when Muslim girls, for example,
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: only ever see your reflection of themselves in the media
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: as oppressed as victims, as tortured, as angry as terrorists.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: You know, imagine what happens when you see a positive
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: reflection of yourself in the media around you. What that
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: can do as a society. Now I see on the
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: sheet that says you blame Charlemagne for the worst first
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: date ever? God, what happens? That's what it says. When
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: the see says, why do you blame Charlemagne for the
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: worst first date ever? This is gonna take me out
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: of by Ramadan vibes right now. I don't know, I
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: don't know. Yeah, no, I definitely blame you first date
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: I've ever been on. For sure? What happened? I met?
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: I met this really nice, you know, nice Muslim Arab man.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: Want to take me out on a day? I'd like
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: a beautiful career in profession. I'm like all right, dope,
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: Like this is gonna be good. It's gonna he's gonna
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: take me out on a nice day whatever. First very
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: first conversation, he's like, yo, like, you know, I discovered
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: what my calling is in life. You know everyone has
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: a calling and I discovered mine. I'm like, oh, like,
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: you know, that's amazing. What is it? He's like, I'm
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: gonna quit my job and become a rapper. And this
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: is his like next trajectory, Like he's like, that's how
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna make a million bucks. That's like whatever, proceeds
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: to hold me hostage in his car for twenty minutes
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: that night, took me listen to his like crappy music
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: are you with? Like the auto tune like super Low,
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: like did not sound like him whatsoever. I'm just like, bro, like,
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: do not quit your job please, like Jesus. And then
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: I'm not planning on like talking to him ever again
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: because it's just like a miserable like whatever. And then
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: he actually had the audacity to like DM me afterwards,
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: like yo, so like, um, I know like you and
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: Charlotmagne are cool. Do you mind sending him my music?
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: I know gonna want to work with me this and not.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: So I'm like, why you took me out on this
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: like torturous day. You know, Wow, you might have missed
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: your blessed listen Muslim like finding a good Muslim man
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: today and like you know, from my background from whatever
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: my age group, like they are far and few between.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: So I felt likes it Like I used to want
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: to rap, and it took my man, doctor Robert Evans,
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: who's a mentor of mine. He told me I sucked
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: as a rapper, and he said you should focus on
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: radio and being an executive. That's literally stupid rap name. Man.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: Before that, my rap name was Disney man Winkle. But
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: what exactly or something I've never heard? When all it
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: takes it for somebody to say you suck? All you
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: had to do with her? That brother, he sucks as
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: a rapper. He'd left it alone. Y'all been happily after?
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: Are you kidding? Like? No, I wonder what it was nice? Yo.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: After he's already like quitting his job and changing his
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: entire life for this dream of his. I'm not gonna
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: shatter a young man's like aspirations like that. I mean,
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: that's the thing. He was like a commercial pilot. I'm like,
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: he's gonna take me on some nice dates. It's gonna
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: be fun. Like man, no, man, Jesus wow, man, Like
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: you're leaving that for this. He probably went back disappointing.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: He probably went back to fly. I sure it's all hope,
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: so Yo hit Himani up king Yo. But but but
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: after thirty days, you know, like once Ramadan, once Ramadan has,
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: you know, you usually went to the White House too
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: to see the doctor Joe Biden. Yeah, how was that? Yeah,
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: I know it was. It was really great. It was
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: really awesome. Um, she was delivering the International Woman of
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: Perige Awards, So we got to see some of the
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: most influential women on the planet and you know, like, oh,
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: come into DC to the White House to get these
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: awards for exceptional things they've done. It was pretty cool
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: to see like so many women from different backgrounds represented there.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: You know, there's one woman who gave a speech. She
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: was actually the Senator from Malaysia and she was the
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: only awardee that was given the chance to like share
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: some remarks and to see her, you know, stand out
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: of her her wheelchair to speak in front of the
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: first Lady and the Secretary of State blinken and start
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: her speech with a Salama lacom speA ponio. You know,
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: it's definitely a moment for me. Do you feel like
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: that administration is doing enough for Muslims? Of course not, Yeah,
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: definitely not. When I think about how the last administration
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: did all out of salt on Muslims, I feel like,
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: you know that that that pushback against that should be
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: just allowed from the new administration. I don't even think
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: they do enough to protect the people who worship in Congress.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing. I mean, we're literally seeing attacks on
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: Congress right now that really just parallel the silencing happening
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: on a mass scale. I mean, look at what happened
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: to congresswoman and hand Omar, first African born congress person
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: for Sumali born, and she was on the Foreign Affairs Committee,
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: and the Republicans removed her literally probably like the most
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: useful voice that we have in the government to sit
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: on a committee like that, and now like the entire
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: committee looks like, you know, just like the same white
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: man over and over and dun and who scroll there
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: like committee page. You know, I think what's really important
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: is for our communities to come together, you know, like
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: I'll never forget when the Muslim band started, Right, I'm
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: thinking about this a lot as we reflect on like
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: the war in Iraq and how the cycle repeats itself,
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: you know, how, like how what happened with Georgia Liebhich
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: repeated itself with Trump for my community. And I was
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: in this group chat with like all the American Muslim
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: leaders from like national organizations and stuff like that, and
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: as soon as the Muslim band happened, they're all like texting.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: One of the first texts was like where are our
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: black brothers and sisters? We need them to stand with
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: us right now and stuff like that. And you know,
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: my immediate thought was, well, Mike Brown just got shot
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: a few years earlier, Like where was the Muslim community
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: to stand with our black brothers and sisters at that time? Right?
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: It's like for us, and especially when you think about,
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: you know, like where non black Muslims are and they're
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: disconnected with the Black community. It's so important because we
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: inevitably need each other. You know, the weather always changes,
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: and every time it's they're they're coming for one of us.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: So the only way is like we have to when
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: when that moment that opportunity to presents itself for us
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: to step up, be an ally, have each other's backs.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: It's always on us to be the first ones to
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: do it because it's gonna come back around and we're
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: gonna need that hand extended as well. Or we appreciate
