Speaker 1: Good morning.
0:30
Speaker 4: Good morning.
0:31
Speaker 2: How you feeling?
0:31
Speaker 3: I'm going to tell you something. I was dreading saying
0:33
Speaker 3: the yo-yo-yos this morning because it's very hard for me
0:35
Speaker 3: to open my mouth because yesterday I had to go
0:37
Speaker 3: to the dentist. Get some work done.
0:39
Speaker 2: I love a day when you can't open that mouth.
0:41
Speaker 3: And my mouth wouldn't get numb for nothing. My mouth
0:46
Speaker 3: wouldn't get numb for nothing.
0:48
Speaker 1: Really?
0:48
Speaker 2: So they had to stick you a hell of a time.
0:50
Speaker 2: All the needles, I know that hurt.
0:51
Speaker 3: My dentist had to stick me with anesthesia at least
0:53
Speaker 3: 12 times, maybe 20.
0:55
Speaker 2: Did it hurt?
0:56
Speaker 3: Maybe 20. I'm ignoring the devil this morning. Did it hurt?
0:58
Speaker 3: What's your dentist's name?
1:00
Speaker 1: Maybe 20.
1:00
Speaker 3: Somebody out there.
1:01
Speaker 2: Doing God's work, okay?
1:02
Speaker 1: It's Wednesday.
1:03
Speaker 2: It feels like a Friday. Good morning, y'all.
1:05
Speaker 3: Now that the numbness is finally wearing off, Lord have mercy.
1:07
Speaker 3: I feel the devil in my jaw. I hear the
1:09
Speaker 3: devil in my ears.
1:11
Speaker 2: The devil's been in that jaw, baby.
1:12
Speaker 1: No.
1:13
Speaker 2: It's been on that big tongue, baby.
1:14
Speaker 3: Good morning, everybody. Hey, Lauren LaRosa.
1:17
Speaker 5: Good morning.
1:18
Speaker 3: How are you?
1:19
Speaker 2: I am so good, y'all. It is my mother.
1:20
Speaker 3: How do you feel?
1:21
Speaker 6: Let me tell you, I woke up this morning so grateful.
1:23
Speaker 6: It's my mother's birthday.
1:25
Speaker 2: I thought you were her birthday mom. She didn't want
1:26
Speaker 2: to come.
1:27
Speaker 6: She didn't want to get up and come up here.
1:30
Speaker 6: She got her hair done yesterday. She's going out to her.
1:33
Speaker 6: My grandma and my brother are going out to dinner
1:35
Speaker 6: later tonight. And then this weekend, we're going to like celebrate, celebrate.
1:38
Speaker 6: But it's also my brother's birthday as well, too.
1:39
Speaker 2: He was born on my mom's birthday. Damn, she had
1:41
Speaker 2: a baby on her birthday.
1:42
Speaker 3: Yes.
1:45
Speaker 2: I try. I told her she can come up here.
1:46
Speaker 2: She wanted to do the lounge and stuff. But then
1:48
Speaker 2: she was like, I don't really feel like it.
1:50
Speaker 6: Yeah, she said she wanted to celebrate this weekend when
1:52
Speaker 6: I could kind of be like fully attentive.
1:54
Speaker 3: But you should have bought it. She's the only reason
1:55
Speaker 3: that we keep you around. She's a reminder. You know,
1:58
Speaker 3: I love her.
1:59
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
2:01
Speaker 3: Your mother was my friend before you.
2:02
Speaker 2: You know what? You're right. My mom was always like,
2:05
Speaker 2: it'll be fine. Send just this voice note, y'all. You
2:09
Speaker 2: know what?
2:10
Speaker 7: You're right.
2:10
Speaker 6: But yeah, I woke up feeling grateful. Like my mom
2:11
Speaker 6: has like I was thinking about it this morning, like
2:13
Speaker 6: her fight. I talk about it a lot, like her
2:15
Speaker 6: being a cancer survivor. Birthdays be different now because it's like, man,
2:19
Speaker 6: like we really we had to like really have faith
2:22
Speaker 6: to get here.
2:23
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
2:23
Speaker 6: And my brother, he's just my brother. So I'm just
2:26
Speaker 6: always grateful for him being on the straight and narrow. So, yeah,
2:28
Speaker 6: I feel good today.
2:29
Speaker 3: Listen, we got an icon joining us today.
2:36
Speaker 2: Who is it? Who is it?
2:37
Speaker 3: Your favorite rapper ever.
2:38
Speaker 8: Oh, my God.
2:39
Speaker 3: Okay, Busta Rhymes will be joining us.
2:41
Speaker 1: He's got a new album.
2:43
Speaker 3: Diligence 2, with J Dilla. You know, he always pays
2:46
Speaker 3: homage to J Dilla, but they decided to put out
2:49
Speaker 3: Diligence 2, which is a project that's majority produced by
2:53
Speaker 3: J Dilla. So Busta Rhymes will be joining us. And
2:56
Speaker 3: speaking of icons, man, and speaking of appreciating life, we
2:59
Speaker 3: lost an icon yesterday.
3:01
Speaker 1: Yes. Yes.
3:02
Speaker 3: Country music legend Dolly Parton.
3:04
Speaker 1: Yes.
3:04
Speaker 3: Oh, wow. Okay, she transitioned yesterday.
3:06
Speaker 1: Yes.
3:07
Speaker 3: And, you know, Dolly Parton transitioned all races, all ages.
3:11
Speaker 3: She's just one of those rare superstars that everybody knows
3:15
Speaker 3: it feels like. You know, and I saw everybody, you know,
3:18
Speaker 3: posting yesterday. And I was thinking to myself, why did
3:21
Speaker 3: Dolly connect with so many people?
3:23
Speaker 7: I mean.
3:25
Speaker 3: Her breasts. Right. But then also.
3:27
Speaker 10: The fact that the girls used to be.
3:30
Speaker 3: I'm telling you that they were legendary. But also she
3:34
Speaker 3: made great music. And I think it's because she made
3:37
Speaker 3: an anthem for working class people. Nine to five is
3:41
Speaker 3: an anthem for working class people. So let's start the
3:45
Speaker 3: show with that this morning. OK, it's the Breakfast Club. OK,
3:48
Speaker 3: all those working class people don't matter. The hours, God
3:51
Speaker 3: damn it. Okay, if you're a working class person, you
3:53
Speaker 3: feel that record. All right, it's the world's most dangerous
3:55
Speaker 3: morning show, The Breakfast Club. DJ Envy, Jetson Larry, Charlamagne
3:58
Speaker 3: Tha God, LL Cool Bay, Lauren LaRosa is here as well.
4:00
Speaker 3: And it's time for Front Page News with Tamisha Brown
4:02
Speaker 3: from Howard University.
4:06
Speaker 11: Good morning, you guys.
4:07
Speaker 3: How y'all doing this morning?
4:10
Speaker 2: Good morning.
4:11
Speaker 8: Okay, well, speaking of nine to five, President Trump's tariff
4:14
Speaker 8: war with Canada could have some people worried about that
4:17
Speaker 8: nine to five. So we start this hour with a
4:19
Speaker 8: growing trade fight between the U.S. and Canada, and this
4:22
Speaker 8: one could eventually hit your wallet. So President Trump has
4:26
Speaker 8: imposed tariffs as high as 50% on some Canadian goods
4:30
Speaker 8: after trade talks between the two countries fell apart. Now,
4:33
Speaker 8: Canada is hitting back, raising tariffs.
4:36
Speaker 11: On about $ 20.
4:37
Speaker 8: Billion worth of American products, including everything from steel and
4:41
Speaker 8: appliances to dairy to clothing to farming.
4:44
Speaker 11: So what does all of this mean for your wallet?
4:46
Speaker 8: Well, think about your next car, that new refrigerator or
4:49
Speaker 8: the washer and dryer you've been meaning to replace. Many
4:52
Speaker 8: of the materials used to make those products come from Canada.
4:56
Speaker 11: Let's listen.
4:57
Speaker 12: President Trump underestimates us, and that's the biggest mistake. underestimating
5:02
Speaker 12: your opponent. He says he doesn't need Canada. I'd love
5:05
Speaker 12: to see, he wants to take our auto sector. I'd
5:08
Speaker 12: love to see him run cars without any oil. I'd
5:11
Speaker 12: love to see him try to grow vegetables and fruit
5:16
Speaker 12: and everything without the potash. I'd like to see when
5:20
Speaker 12: we have our critical minerals. Matter of fact, high-grade nickel,
5:25
Speaker 12: that 65% comes from Ontario. For their military, for their manufacturing.
5:31
Speaker 5: You sound a little more subdued than you did this
5:33
Speaker 5: morning on the radio when you said Donald Trump could
5:35
Speaker 5: kiss your ass. Did the Prime Minister ask you to
5:38
Speaker 5: tone it down a bit?
5:39
Speaker 1: No, he didn't.
5:40
Speaker 12: He wasn't against that. And I have a lot of
5:42
Speaker 12: real estate on my ass, so he has a lot
5:45
Speaker 12: of room to.
5:45
Speaker 1: Kiss my ass.
5:46
Speaker 3: Donald Trump is really not allowed to even play nine
5:49
Speaker 3: to five. He can't play nine to five. This is
5:50
Speaker 3: a nine to five. Dolly Parton did not make that
5:52
Speaker 3: record for him. OK, when she said, I swear, sometimes
5:54
Speaker 3: that man is out to get me. She was talking
5:56
Speaker 3: about people like Donald Trump. He does not care about
5:58
Speaker 3: working class people in any way, shape or form.
6:01
Speaker 8: Yeah, and this fight is getting personal. President Trump is
6:05
Speaker 8: now threatening to rename Lake Ontario Lake America. I don't
6:08
Speaker 8: know if you can do that, but that is what
6:10
Speaker 8: he said.
6:11
Speaker 3: Well, you want to jump in it and drown the
6:13
Speaker 3: way they drowning in, you know, bills right now.
6:15
Speaker 1: Right.
6:18
Speaker 8: And here's another really important part of this. So Canada
6:20
Speaker 8: is America's second largest customer. The two countries, they spend
6:24
Speaker 8: heavily on each other for things they buy and things
6:27
Speaker 8: they sell. And so at first, President Trump said, you know,
6:30
Speaker 8: as we just heard, that the U.S. doesn't need Canada.
6:32
Speaker 8: But maybe he thought about it because hours later he
6:35
Speaker 8: acknowledged that when it comes to some things, we actually
6:38
Speaker 8: do need them.
6:39
Speaker 11: Let's listen.
6:40
Speaker 3: We need aluminum in this country. We don't have it.
6:42
Speaker 2: We get it all from Canada for the most part.
6:45
Speaker 1: And we need it badly.
6:48
Speaker 2: Yeah.
6:48
Speaker 11: So there you have it.
6:50
Speaker 8: Canada says its tariff hikes will go into effect in
6:52
Speaker 8: about two weeks.
6:54
Speaker 11: So, yeah, guys, you know, this may be a trade
6:56
Speaker 11: fight between two governments.
6:58
Speaker 8: But if it keeps going, Americans will feel this everywhere
7:01
Speaker 8: from the car lot to the appliance.
7:03
Speaker 3: Can I ask a question? Because, you know, I totally
7:06
Speaker 3: forgot the plot. Why the hell are you asking Canada
7:09
Speaker 3: in a trade war again? Like what started this?
7:12
Speaker 8: That is a really good question. You know, President Trump
7:14
Speaker 8: has been on his implementing trade wars with different countries.
7:19
Speaker 8: And so they were.
7:21
Speaker 3: Who hurt his feelings in Canada? Somebody hurt his feelings.
7:23
Speaker 3: I'm trying to figure out what happened.
7:24
Speaker 8: I don't know who hurt his feelings, but I do
7:26
Speaker 8: know that Canada did not like what they were hearing,
7:29
Speaker 8: what President Trump was trying to do. And so Canada
7:31
Speaker 8: was like, we're not going to take this lying down.
7:32
Speaker 8: If you're going to do this to us, we're going
7:34
Speaker 8: to do this to you. I can say that it
7:35
Speaker 8: started here in America with President Trump, with him wanting
7:38
Speaker 8: to impose tariffs that Canada did not think was fair.
7:42
Speaker 8: And that they thought would hurt their economy as well
7:44
Speaker 8: as our economy.
7:45
Speaker 3: Gotcha.
7:46
Speaker 11: Yeah.
7:49
Speaker 8: And you guys know that saying that says, if I
7:51
Speaker 8: can't have it, nobody can.
7:52
Speaker 11: Well, this next story has a little bit of that energy.
7:55
Speaker 8: So President Trump has been fighting to put his name
7:58
Speaker 8: on the Kennedy Center.
7:58
Speaker 11: We've talked about this again before.
8:01
Speaker 8: But a judge has recently ruled that he can't do
8:03
Speaker 8: that without Congress. Now, no one is arguing that the
8:06
Speaker 8: Kennedy Center doesn't need repairs. But even people fighting Trump's
8:10
Speaker 8: plan acknowledge that the building does need work. But they're
8:13
Speaker 8: pointing out the timing. So Trump isn't getting his way
8:17
Speaker 8: on putting his name on the building. His administration is
8:20
Speaker 8: saying the building could eventually be torn down.
8:23
Speaker 11: So Justice.
8:27
Speaker 8: Department lawyers say without major renovation that Trump wants, the
8:31
Speaker 8: building could become unsafe and eventually need to be demolished,
8:37
Speaker 8: possibly replaced with an outdoor amphitheater.
8:40
Speaker 11: So this fight will go back before a judge tomorrow.
8:43
Speaker 3: But if they put his name on it, all is well.
8:45
Speaker 13: Yeah.
8:47
Speaker 11: It may all miraculously disappear. You know, Mimi, I have
8:50
Speaker 11: a question.
8:50
Speaker 2: I know the Kennedy Center is the Kennedy Center.
8:52
Speaker 1: Right.
8:52
Speaker 6: But like, why is it because he's been fighting about
8:55
Speaker 6: this for a long time? Why is it so important
8:58
Speaker 6: for him?
8:58
Speaker 3: Eagle. OK.
9:00
Speaker 1: Yes.
9:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
9:02
Speaker 8: And I think because he was ordered to take his
9:04
Speaker 8: name down. Now it's become, you know, you can't tell
9:06
Speaker 8: me to do that to the judge who had him
9:08
Speaker 8: do that. And so now here we are with him
9:11
Speaker 8: trying to figure out how to get it back on.
9:13
Speaker 8: And using this in a way that will do so.
9:17
Speaker 8: So they will head back to court tomorrow. And so
9:19
Speaker 8: we'll stay tuned to see what happens in court. But
9:22
Speaker 8: Congresswoman Joyce Beatty, she's actually been in front of this
9:25
Speaker 8: and trying to fight this.
9:26
Speaker 11: So we'll see. And coming up at 7, guys, police.
9:30
Speaker 8: Say the man accused of chasing people through the streets
9:32
Speaker 8: of Philly in that creepy mask has been found. We'll
9:35
Speaker 8: tell you where they caught him and what is now,
9:39
Speaker 8: where he's now headed on his way to.
9:41
Speaker 11: So we'll do that in seven.
9:43
Speaker 3: All right. It's get it off your chest time.
9:46
Speaker 10: 1-800-585-1051.
9:47
Speaker 3: You can call up right now and tell us why
9:48
Speaker 3: you're stressed. Or you can call up and tell us
9:50
Speaker 3: why you're blessed. Okay. It's the world's most dangerous morning show,
9:52
Speaker 3: The Breakfast Club.
9:55
Speaker 1: This is your time to get it off your chest.
9:57
Speaker 8: 800-585-1051.

12:09

12:13
Speaker 3: Stacey, Stacey.
12:14
Speaker 13: Stop, man. Stacey, do not.
12:15
Speaker 7: It's getting too personal.
12:16
Speaker 3: Exactly. When Stacey starts talking about people with dead family members,
12:19
Speaker 3: I don't like that. That's not what we do.

13:51
Speaker 7: Okay.
13:51
Speaker 14: I usually watch on Netflix if I have to work,
13:54
Speaker 14: but I'm on the clock this morning.
13:56
Speaker 7: That's why I'm calling.
13:57
Speaker 14: And my name really not Alicia, but I'm going to
13:59
Speaker 14: say my job company name.
14:01
Speaker 3: Smart.
14:03
Speaker 1: Smart. Smart woman.
14:04
Speaker 3: What's up, Alicia?
14:05
Speaker 15: I'm so irritated.
14:07
Speaker 1: Okay.
14:07
Speaker 14: I get a text this morning telling me I really
14:09
Speaker 14: got to get sure they ain't come see me. I
14:11
Speaker 14: come in the office, they show me a video saying
14:14
Speaker 14: I don't have on a seatbelt, but clearly I have
14:16
Speaker 14: on the seatbelt. It's just not tight.
14:19
Speaker 3: What do you do?
14:19
Speaker 2: She a driver. I drive.
14:21
Speaker 7: I drive.
14:22
Speaker 14: In Atlanta.
14:24
Speaker 2: Okay.
14:25
Speaker 14: I got on a seatbelt. Why are y'all trying to
14:28
Speaker 14: give me a red-eyed view infraction when.
14:30
Speaker 9: I got it on?
14:31
Speaker 14: Because it's not tight.
14:32
Speaker 13: Like.
14:33
Speaker 14: I got other stuff to worry about. I got a
14:34
Speaker 14: sick child at home. I'm a single parent. I don't
14:37
Speaker 14: give a damn about this seatbelt, baby.
14:40
Speaker 3: Well, that's the point. They know you don't give a
14:42
Speaker 3: damn about the seatbelt. They want you to give a
14:43
Speaker 3: damn about it.
14:43
Speaker 2: No, but she had it on. It just wasn't visible
14:46
Speaker 2: for them. No, it was visible.
14:49
Speaker 10: It was visible.
14:49
Speaker 14: They just said it wasn't directly on my shoulder.
14:53
Speaker 2: Oh, you didn't have it on the right way.
14:55
Speaker 3: You had it behind you?
14:57
Speaker 2: No, it was in front of me.
14:58
Speaker 14: It was across me. I kid you not.
15:02
Speaker 10: It was under her arm and it's supposed to go
15:04
Speaker 10: over her shoulder. They wanted to go over her shoulder.
15:07
Speaker 14: It was not under my arm, baby. It was across
15:10
Speaker 14: my shoulder.
15:11
Speaker 3: Respectfully, are you a big girl?
15:13
Speaker 14: I don't want to. I'm not.
15:15
Speaker 3: Okay. I'm just asking because sometimes.
15:18
Speaker 14: I'm a tired girl and I want to lean it
15:20
Speaker 14: back a little bit.
15:21
Speaker 1: Gotcha.
15:21
Speaker 14: But I'm definitely not big.
15:22
Speaker 3: Because the C-Bucks can get hit in the rolls when
15:24
Speaker 3: you're big.
15:25
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
15:25
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
15:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:27
Speaker 14: I guess they want me to gain some weight then
15:29
Speaker 14: because I don't know what's going on, but they've been
15:31
Speaker 14: irritating me.
15:31
Speaker 1: So what happened?
15:32
Speaker 3: How did y'all resolve it? What happened?
15:34
Speaker 2: Did you get rolled out?
15:36
Speaker 5: Uh-uh.
15:36
Speaker 14: I walked out because I'm not going to sign it.
15:39
Speaker 3: They can send it back. Oh, you just walked out.
15:41
Speaker 1: On him, huh?
15:41
Speaker 2: Girl, now what if you don't have no damn job?
15:43
Speaker 7: Not like that now.
15:45
Speaker 14: Not like that now. But I told people I was
15:46
Speaker 14: going to send it back and review it because I'm
15:48
Speaker 14: looking at the seatbelt.
15:49
Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
15:50
Speaker 7: We both look at it. Like, I don't get it.
15:53
Speaker 2: Well, I hope everything work out, queen.
15:55
Speaker 13: Yeah.
15:56
Speaker 2: I hope it do, too.
15:57
Speaker 14: Send me some money then, Charlemagne.
15:59
Speaker 1: Ah!
15:59
Speaker 2: Your jaw.
16:01
Speaker 3: My jaw hurts.
16:03
Speaker 1: You got a job.
16:04
Speaker 2: You working a nine to five.
16:06
Speaker 7: Have a good day, Alicia.
16:07
Speaker 2: Have a good day, boo.
16:08
Speaker 3: That's get it off your chest. We do that every
16:10
Speaker 3: morning at the same time. And another thing we do
16:12
Speaker 3: every day, the latest with Lauren LaRosa.
16:13
Speaker 2: Yes, we do.
16:15
Speaker 6: This morning, we're going to take some time and send
16:16
Speaker 6: some love to Dolly Parton's family, but also talk about
16:19
Speaker 6: a lot of the celebrities that are pouring out their
16:21
Speaker 6: tributes and their experiences with her. And some of the
16:24
Speaker 6: things and ways that she's paid for them in country music.
16:26
Speaker 3: I think I'm sick of that, by the way.
16:28
Speaker 12: Why?
16:28
Speaker 3: I'm sick of people making people's death about them. You
16:32
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying? But what if it's... It's all
16:34
Speaker 3: about the interaction you had with the person as opposed to,
16:38
Speaker 3: you know, celebrating the person in their life.
16:40
Speaker 6: I can understand what you're saying, but what if it
16:42
Speaker 6: is to show the character of the person that people
16:45
Speaker 6: might not always, like, know because you don't... I've never
16:48
Speaker 6: interacted with Dolly Parton.
16:49
Speaker 3: I've never interacted with her neither, but I'm very aware
16:51
Speaker 3: of all the charity work she did, especially in and
16:53
Speaker 3: around Nashville.
16:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
16:55
Speaker 3: But I'm also 48 years old. I was born in 1978. So,
16:58
Speaker 3: like I said, Dolly Parton is one of those people
17:00
Speaker 3: who transcended all races like she's just one of those
17:03
Speaker 3: stars everybody knows like the michael jackson the dolly part
17:07
Speaker 3: like dolly's in that category you know and.
17:10
Speaker 10: Even when we just had k michelle up here she
17:11
Speaker 10: was saying like how she played an instrumental part of
17:13
Speaker 10: her career too because she's the only one like well
17:16
Speaker 10: one of the very few people that reached out and
17:18
Speaker 10: helped her yeah and welcomed her into the country.
17:20
Speaker 3: Music she was on beyonce's country album you know what

17:54
Speaker 1: I want to be like you. LL Cool Bay.
17:55
Speaker 3: Talk to me.

Speaker 1: LL Cool Bay. Lauren LaRosa. Young Trigon.
18:19
Speaker 2: I don't even know what that means. Good morning, y'all.
18:21
Speaker 6: So yesterday it was announced by Dolly Parton's family that
18:26
Speaker 6: she has passed away at age 80.
18:29
Speaker 2: Let's take a listen to the video that they posted
18:31
Speaker 2: announcing her passing.
18:33
Speaker 3: Hey, everyone.
18:33
Speaker 4: My name is Brian Seaver, and I'm representing the Parton
18:36
Speaker 4: and Owens family today announcing the passing of my Aunt Dolly,
18:40
Speaker 4: Rebecca Parton Dean. This video announcement is something Dolly asked
18:43
Speaker 4: of me years ago. It is an honor, an honor
18:46
Speaker 4: that is mixed with absolute pride and great sadness. But
18:49
Speaker 4: sadness lies with us, not with Dolly. Dolly has lived
18:52
Speaker 4: in the light. Dolly opened doors not just for me,
18:55
Speaker 4: but for her entire family to reach the potential we
18:57
Speaker 4: didn't even know was possible. Dolly also opened doors for
19:00
Speaker 4: generations of singers, musicians, and dreamers from every walk of life.
19:03
Speaker 4: She never saw a door she couldn't open, and the
19:06
Speaker 4: doors she opened made and changed history. Our family and
19:09
Speaker 4: the team she has entrusted with her legacy will work
19:11
Speaker 4: diligently to ensure her spirit will live with us forever.
19:14
Speaker 4: Dolly called me and said she wants to rest in
19:16
Speaker 4: a beautiful bed of plush cotton because after a life
19:19
Speaker 4: wearing heavy rhinestones, she finally deserves to be comfortable and
19:22
Speaker 4: have some rest.
19:23
Speaker 3: Rest in peace, Aunt Dolly. May God bless Dolly Parton.
19:26
Speaker 3: And may God bless you all. She will always love you.
19:29
Speaker 5: Aw.
19:30
Speaker 3: Man, rest in peace, Dolly Parton. I don't know why
19:31
Speaker 3: 80 feels so young. But really, 80 is overtime because
19:35
Speaker 3: the average life expectancy is 79. But 80 does feel
19:39
Speaker 3: so young nowadays.
19:41
Speaker 6: And I think for Dolly Parton, it feels young because
19:44
Speaker 6: even though like she had been going through like different
19:45
Speaker 6: health things that she had talked about, I think it
19:47
Speaker 6: was like last week or so. Dolly World, her amusement park,
19:51
Speaker 6: they opened up a new ride and she was supposed
19:52
Speaker 6: to be there, but she appeared via video. So she
19:55
Speaker 6: had to like make a statement, basically telling her fans
19:57
Speaker 6: that like, you know, she gets a little dizzy, dehydrated.
19:58
Speaker 2: So she was just taking a break. She was out
20:01
Speaker 2: here doing things.
20:03
Speaker 6: I don't know what she was dealing with, but she
20:05
Speaker 6: said that it was something that she neglected while she
20:07
Speaker 6: was taking care of her husband, Carl.
20:09
Speaker 2: So, she's been kind of like making up and taking
20:11
Speaker 2: better care of herself.
20:12
Speaker 3: And also think about that, you know, her husband passed
20:14
Speaker 3: away last year. And they were together 60 years. So,
20:17
Speaker 3: you know, that's the other thing. Like, you know, they
20:19
Speaker 3: always say when a couple's been together that long, when
20:21
Speaker 3: one leaves.
20:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, because sometimes you can die from a broken heart.
20:24
Speaker 6: Yeah, but every time something seemed like if she had
20:27
Speaker 6: canceled a show or... couldn't show up somewhere she would
20:29
Speaker 6: post a video to her instagram letting us know what's
20:31
Speaker 6: going on still looking amazing sounding good as well too
20:34
Speaker 6: so she was a lot you know full of life
20:35
Speaker 6: so i think that that's why it feels a little
20:37
Speaker 6: bit young for her as well too but when you
20:39
Speaker 6: talk about paving the way for people and artists there
20:41
Speaker 6: are a lot of people right now that have just
20:43
Speaker 6: been pouring out their love and support and just memories
20:46
Speaker 6: of dolly parton i saw uh beyonce uh post in
20:49
Speaker 6: honor of her and we know that dolly parton supported
20:51
Speaker 6: beyonce a lot in the country music space she says
20:53
Speaker 6: dolly you were the barometer the north star bold and
20:56
Speaker 6: brilliant talented and tenacious You taught so many lessons on
20:59
Speaker 6: how to be uniquely oneself. I'm grateful for your art,
21:01
Speaker 6: your heart, your generosity, your humor, your entrepreneurship. I'm honored
21:04
Speaker 6: that I had the privilege to work with you.
21:06
Speaker 10: You're an angel who has made this world a happier
21:07
Speaker 10: place because of your joyful art.
21:09
Speaker 2: You are truly one of One of one respect. I'm sorry.
21:12
Speaker 2: Rest peacefully.
21:13
Speaker 6: And then I know, too, I saw Dionne Warwick pour
21:17
Speaker 6: out a tribute.
21:18
Speaker 3: Dolly Parton.
21:19
Speaker 1: Yeah.
21:20
Speaker 2: Reba McEntire.
21:20
Speaker 10: Like so many people just taking a moment to send
21:23
Speaker 10: her some love and well wishes and share their times
21:26
Speaker 10: and thoughts.
21:26
Speaker 3: A lot of their stars that, you know, have their,
21:31
Speaker 3: I guess, niche followings within their stars that transcend every race,
21:35
Speaker 3: every demographic, every age. Dolly Parton was one of those stars.
21:40
Speaker 3: Absolute icon in every sense of the word.
21:42
Speaker 1: Like, I don't remember.
21:44
Speaker 3: a world without Dolly Parton. I know that sounds crazy.
21:47
Speaker 1: No.
21:47
Speaker 3: Since I was a kid, I knew who Dolly Parton was. Totally.
21:50
Speaker 6: And we're different generations and I feel like we would
21:53
Speaker 6: feel the same way.
21:53
Speaker 13: Yes.
21:54
Speaker 2: And listen, I was told I'm... See the... I had
21:58
Speaker 2: no idea. Just before I really... The hair, the boobies.
22:01
Speaker 2: I really knew about like... You know, I was like, oh,
22:03
Speaker 2: they definitely are related.
22:05
Speaker 3: I can see why you say that.
22:05
Speaker 2: Yes. Well, rest in peace to Dolly Parton.
22:09
Speaker 16: Yeah.
22:10
Speaker 2: All right, y'all.
22:11
Speaker 6: So we are going to shift gears a bit. Yesterday,
22:14
Speaker 6: we were talking about Soraya, I'm sorry, and Joey Badass.
22:17
Speaker 10: Lord, y'all keep on playing with this girl's name. Envy
22:20
Speaker 10: calls her Soracha, you call her Soraya. He called her
22:23
Speaker 10: Shania yesterday.
22:25
Speaker 2: I keep wanting to say Soraya, I think because of
22:27
Speaker 2: the way her name is spelled, but Soraya. Soraya.
22:29
Speaker 6: Yeah, so yesterday there was a story that broke. And
22:31
Speaker 6: I think this is something that we could have kind
22:33
Speaker 6: of pointed to ourselves. But there was a story, TMZ
22:36
Speaker 6: did a story about what led to that big explosion
22:38
Speaker 6: that we saw online.
22:39
Speaker 2: It was the final moment.
22:41
Speaker 6: And what they're pointing to, according to sources close to her,
22:44
Speaker 6: is the phone call. So for those of you guys
22:46
Speaker 6: who don't remember, Soraya posted a phone call that she
22:48
Speaker 6: says that Joey Badass was having with another woman.
22:51
Speaker 2: Let's take a listen to that phone call.
22:53
Speaker 1: This is your son's grandmother.
22:55
Speaker 7: The empathy to have is that she's embarrassed. You have
22:58
Speaker 7: to realize that she's like, I was a kid, I
23:01
Speaker 7: had a childhood. People are asking me when I'm getting married.
23:04
Speaker 3: Now I'm not going to be with him anymore.
23:06
Speaker 7: And it's just like, you know, it's embarrassing.
23:08
Speaker 2: And she's taking it out.
23:09
Speaker 7: On you instead of dealing with the fact that, like, it.
23:12
Speaker 10: Is so crazy because I hate to get, I hate
23:14
Speaker 10: to say this to people because it's so, like, existential,
23:17
Speaker 10: but it's like, everything is finite.
23:20
Speaker 7: In the end. So just f * * * you
23:22
Speaker 7: out of your head. Like, whatever part it means to you.
23:25
Speaker 2: So we know who this girl is? No, they don't
23:27
Speaker 2: point to who the girl is.
23:28
Speaker 6: But what they're saying is that this phone call is
23:30
Speaker 6: what was the icing on the cake for her.
23:33
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
23:34
Speaker 6: After this phone call, she decided that she was going
23:36
Speaker 6: to end the engagement and that she she's alleging or
23:40
Speaker 6: believes that this woman is a person that Joy Badass
23:42
Speaker 6: was not just having like friendly conversation with, but he
23:45
Speaker 6: was actually sleeping with.
23:46
Speaker 1: So.
23:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, I really feel like I shouldn't be listening to
23:49
Speaker 3: any of this. Like, I don't want to hear people's
23:50
Speaker 3: private lives anymore. Like, I don't want to hear people's
23:53
Speaker 3: bad moments anymore. I really don't see what you gain
23:55
Speaker 3: by putting that out there.
23:58
Speaker 2: Please.
23:59
Speaker 3: I know.
24:00
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just saying it's going to happen until
24:02
Speaker 2: the end of time.
24:03
Speaker 10: So as long as you're up here on this radio
24:05
Speaker 10: and Lauren is doing the latest, you're going to hear
24:06
Speaker 10: people's business.
24:07
Speaker 2: They'll finish delivering the business.
24:09
Speaker 3: But that right there is a choice.
24:11
Speaker 7: It is.
24:11
Speaker 3: Putting that out there, that's a deliberate choice.
24:13
Speaker 10: Yeah, she made the choice to do that, but she
24:15
Speaker 10: also is hurting and upset and she just had the
24:17
Speaker 10: baby and she is embarrassed.
24:20
Speaker 3: And that's why this is the worst thing for you,
24:22
Speaker 3: this phone, when you are emotional. Like, don't take your
24:25
Speaker 3: emotions to the internet. Take a deep breath.
24:27
Speaker 2: But how else do you think she found out about
24:29
Speaker 2: all this? Through the phone, through the internet.
24:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, but don't make it public.
24:33
Speaker 2: It's already public.
24:34
Speaker 1: That was already public?
24:35
Speaker 2: She just made it even more public.
24:36
Speaker 8: Oh.
24:37
Speaker 2: Their relationship was public.
24:39
Speaker 6: If she popped out with a whole nother man and
24:41
Speaker 6: Joey just went about his way and popped out with
24:42
Speaker 6: a whole nother woman.
24:43
Speaker 2: They'd be coming for her.
24:45
Speaker 6: At some point, somebody would have had to say something
24:47
Speaker 6: about somebody.
24:47
Speaker 3: But I don't owe y'all all of that.
24:49
Speaker 2: You don't owe us all of this, correct?
24:50
Speaker 3: They don't live stream when they have sex.
24:52
Speaker 2: I'm just saying.
24:54
Speaker 3: Now that's too much.
24:55
Speaker 2: That's too much. Oh, God, bro. Y'all know what's crazy, though?
25:00
Speaker 10: People are starting to pull back up a lot of, like,
25:02
Speaker 10: Joey badasses, like, old tweets. They in my comments going crazy, honey,
25:07
Speaker 10: because I had my tape. between Nasha and Raisa Kanan,
25:09
Speaker 10: because I was talking about their characters.
25:11
Speaker 2: We know I was just playing.
25:12
Speaker 10: But everybody keeps saying, like, yo, Joey already said that
25:15
Speaker 10: he did.
25:16
Speaker 2: Not want to be monogamous. He wanted to be polyamorous.
25:18
Speaker 2: He wanted to have two wives with two separate families
25:20
Speaker 2: in two separate places.
25:21
Speaker 6: But he said, and he literally said that meeting her
25:24
Speaker 6: and being with her changed his mind about that.
25:27
Speaker 2: That's what I thought. And he wanted, he was engaged.
25:29
Speaker 2: But again, we haven't even heard from him either. That's
25:31
Speaker 2: another thing as well. I don't think we will. He
25:32
Speaker 2: doesn't seem like the type that are like.
25:34
Speaker 10: go online and try to maybe he sit down with
25:37
Speaker 10: the right interview but uh there was a tweet in
25:40
Speaker 10: 2022 where he had tweeted that tristan thompson he said
25:42
Speaker 10: tristan thompson gotta stop being a sorry a n word
25:46

25:57
Speaker 3: don't know if that if joy and uh what's her
25:59
Speaker 3: name Soraya. You don't know if Julia Soraya was having
26:02
Speaker 3: those conversations?
26:03
Speaker 6: No, what I'm saying is, is the fact that she
26:05
Speaker 6: went to the internet and did all this stuff and
26:07
Speaker 6: now people are resurfacing these tweets and basically being like, girl.
26:10
Speaker 2: You should have known. Trying to prove to her, like, yo,
26:12
Speaker 2: when somebody shows you who they are, believe them.
26:14
Speaker 6: It's no way that that's helping her broken heart by
26:16
Speaker 6: people being like, girl, well, what did you think? Like,
26:19
Speaker 6: she kind of put herself in a position now where
26:21
Speaker 6: she got to see all this again.
26:22
Speaker 3: Because of her decision to make all of this public.
26:25
Speaker 2: Yeah.
26:25
Speaker 3: Which she shouldn't have done.

Speaker 17: Good.
27:21
Speaker 11: Okay, so we start this hour with.
27:25
Speaker 2: It's out of Florida.
27:27
Speaker 8: A mother and her two-year-old daughter were killed after being
27:30
Speaker 8: struck by lightning.
27:32
Speaker 11: This happened just moments after getting out of their car.
27:35
Speaker 8: Police say that it happened over the weekend near Fort Lauderdale.
27:38
Speaker 11: So the mother, her name is Kenya Glasgow. She was
27:41
Speaker 11: 31 years old.
27:43
Speaker 8: Her and her daughter were found lying on the sidewalk.
27:45
Speaker 8: The little girl, the two-year-old girl, was a twin. Her
27:49
Speaker 8: other sister was not hurt. Witnesses, they say that they
27:53
Speaker 8: saw an orange flash outside the window.
27:56
Speaker 11: Let's listen to one witness.
27:58
Speaker 3: I heard this large lightning strike. I saw an orange
28:00
Speaker 3: glow through my window. My son said, Dad, there's a
28:03
Speaker 3: lady on the floor.
28:04
Speaker 7: She got hit.
28:05
Speaker 2: And I almost didn't want to believe him.
28:07
Speaker 3: And I looked in my window and I saw a lady.
28:13
Speaker 3: That's rare, right? How often do people get struck by
28:15
Speaker 3: lightning and die?
28:16
Speaker 8: I'm glad that you asked because to put this in perspective,
28:19
Speaker 8: the odds of being struck by lightning any given year,
28:22
Speaker 8: they're less than.
28:24
Speaker 11: One in a million.
28:25
Speaker 2: One in a million. You wouldn't have thought that.
28:28
Speaker 3: Growing up where I grew up. Growing up in Moscow
28:30
Speaker 3: and South Carolina, boy, whenever it would rain heavy and
28:32
Speaker 3: thunderstorm and lightning, they always told us we was getting
28:34
Speaker 3: struck by lightning. You couldn't be on the phone.
28:36
Speaker 2: Right.
28:36
Speaker 3: You had to turn off everything, turn off TV, had
28:38
Speaker 3: to sit still in one place.
28:40
Speaker 2: My grandma is still like that.
28:41
Speaker 8: Damn.
28:41
Speaker 3: For real?
28:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, she don't care about storms. Lightning is definitely dangerous, though. Yeah,
28:46
Speaker 2: I've heard.
28:47
Speaker 10: Basically, yeah, like in Florida, I've heard it when I
28:50
Speaker 10: was living in California a lot. I don't know if
28:51
Speaker 10: for some reason I would hear that people were getting
28:53
Speaker 10: struck in Florida a lot because of the storms and
28:55
Speaker 10: how close they are to the trees.
28:57
Speaker 8: Yeah, I thought that, you know, I'm not saying they
29:00
Speaker 8: were making that up, but clearly, you know, there's some.
29:02
Speaker 2: Truth to these things. I don't know if they was
29:04
Speaker 2: making it up or not. I used to hear it
29:05
Speaker 2: a lot.
29:05
Speaker 13: Yeah.
29:06
Speaker 3: My grandma would be on the phone if it thundered
29:08
Speaker 3: too loud, she'd hang up.
29:08
Speaker 1: I'm hanging up.
29:09
Speaker 3: And don't drive.
29:10
Speaker 1: None of that. No. Yeah.
29:14
Speaker 11: All of that, all of that.
29:15
Speaker 8: And that's because this family, they were rushing, they were
29:17
Speaker 8: trying to get out of the rain. The first responders,
29:19
Speaker 8: they said that they were trying to perform CPR. They
29:23
Speaker 8: rushed the mother and the daughter to separate hospitals, but
29:26
Speaker 8: neither of them survived. Now their husband, the father, he
29:30
Speaker 8: is also speaking out. Let's listen to what he said.
29:32
Speaker 17: My daughter, my wife, amazing, amazing people, amazing people. My wife,
29:39
Speaker 17: the biggest heart in the world, the biggest heart in
29:41
Speaker 17: the world, puts everybody before herself.
29:44
Speaker 1: Everybody.
29:46
Speaker 2: Jesus, I can only imagine his pain.
29:49
Speaker 17: Right.
29:49
Speaker 8: It happened right in front of me as you're coming
29:51
Speaker 8: home trying to get out the rain. A very, very
29:53
Speaker 8: sad story. Police say that they are. Yeah, they are
29:57
Speaker 8: investigating exactly what happened. But from all accounts, it was
30:01
Speaker 8: a lightning strike. And you guys remember the man who
30:05
Speaker 8: was running around in Philly chasing people with that creepy
30:07
Speaker 8: Chucky looking mask?
30:09
Speaker 3: Yes.
30:10
Speaker 11: Okay, well, he has been caught in Las Vegas.
30:13
Speaker 8: So 22-year-old Zymir Hughes, he was taken into custody on
30:19
Speaker 8: Tuesday night, last night by U.S.
30:21
Speaker 2: Marshals.
30:22
Speaker 8: Police say earlier this month he was chasing people around
30:25
Speaker 8: downtown Philadelphia. He scared possibly between 15 to 16 people
30:30
Speaker 8: within an hour. In one case, police say that he
30:33
Speaker 8: walked up to a woman who was jogging and asked her,
30:36
Speaker 8: was she ready to die? She ran away screaming for
30:39
Speaker 8: help and seriously injured her leg. Police believe that he
30:43
Speaker 8: may have been doing all of this for attention on
30:45
Speaker 8: social media.
30:47
Speaker 6: Here's what U.S.
30:50
Speaker 8: Marshals had to say when they captured him.
30:53
Speaker 2: Let's listen.
30:54
Speaker 18: He fled Philadelphia on August 19th from Trenton Mercer Airport
30:58
Speaker 18: in Ewing, New Jersey to Orlando International.
31:01
Speaker 3: He then flew from Orlando to Harry Reid.
31:04
Speaker 18: International in Las Vegas. After being profiled on the news
31:08
Speaker 18: August 28th, he changed his location in Las Vegas and
31:13
Speaker 18: hid at an apartment complex in southeast Las Vegas for
31:16
Speaker 18: the past five days. Marshals from the Nevada Task Force
31:20
Speaker 18: established surveillance on the suspected apartment complex today. And at
31:24
Speaker 18: 8 p.m., Hughes was arrested without incident.
31:30
Speaker 2: Yes.
31:31
Speaker 8: So the other twist to this is that they say
31:33
Speaker 8: he was a Las Vegas resident and believe he may be.
31:36
Speaker 8: He may have been in Philly visiting family when all
31:40
Speaker 8: of this happened. So he's now being held in Nevada,
31:43
Speaker 8: waiting to be extradited back to Philadelphia, where he is
31:47
Speaker 8: expected to face charges of terroristic threats, harassment, and simple assault.
31:55
Speaker 8: We will see what happens with that.
31:57
Speaker 3: I'm still tripping off this story you told about the
32:00
Speaker 3: mother and daughter being struck by lightning. Did you look
32:03
Speaker 3: it up? Yes, the way my anxiety is set up now.
32:05
Speaker 2: You know me, dude.
32:06
Speaker 3: Now I got to add that to the list. But
32:07
Speaker 3: it's like they say the odds of being hit are
32:09
Speaker 3: less than one in a million and almost 90% of
32:11
Speaker 3: all people struck by lightning survive.
32:14
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
32:15
Speaker 3: Over 90%. Oh, my God.
32:17
Speaker 13: Wow.
32:17
Speaker 1: I don't know.
32:18
Speaker 8: And it was so sad. Two little twin girls. So cute.
32:21
Speaker 8: So cute. You know, and now one of them is gone.
32:25
Speaker 3: Her name is Kenya Glasgow. Glasgow. A Glasgow. Rest in peace,
32:29
Speaker 3: Kenya Glasgow. Sending your family healing energy, man. That is horrible.
32:33
Speaker 1: Horrible.
32:34
Speaker 11: Very, very sad. Very, very sad.
32:37
Speaker 8: And our last story today, Target is apologizing for pulling
32:41
Speaker 8: a kid's Halloween costume after people online said it looked
32:44
Speaker 8: too similar to a racist caricature of black people.
32:49
Speaker 11: Have you guys seen this? I'm sure you've seen it
32:51
Speaker 11: by now.
32:51
Speaker 2: I've seen it.
32:51
Speaker 10: I've seen Viola Davis upset about it. I've seen a
32:54
Speaker 10: few celebrities upset about it.
32:55
Speaker 2: Yes, yes.
32:56
Speaker 8: So the costume shows a black child wearing black gloves,
32:59
Speaker 8: a mask with a wide, exaggerated smile.
33:02
Speaker 11: Which people online are comparing to the old minstrel shows.
33:04
Speaker 8: Now, Target, they are apologizing, saying, we got this wrong,
33:08
Speaker 8: and admitting the costume should have never been sold.
33:09
Speaker 11: But you're right, Jess.
33:11
Speaker 8: People like Viola Davis, she came out, she wrote that
33:14
Speaker 8: she does not accept their apology and that she doesn't understand,
33:19
Speaker 8: they don't understand the impact and the pain and the
33:21
Speaker 8: dehumanization of this image and the foundation that has been
33:25
Speaker 8: committed against my people, is.
33:27
Speaker 11: What she wrote.
33:28
Speaker 8: So.
33:30
Speaker 11: It's a it's a it's a thing.
33:31
Speaker 8: Now, this is also coming as Target is, you know,
33:34
Speaker 8: Target boycott is happening with the rollback of the DEI efforts.
33:37
Speaker 11: And some people are saying this is exactly.
33:40
Speaker 8: Why black people are or should be boycotting boycotting Target.
33:45
Speaker 2: Almost definitely.
33:46
Speaker 3: Well, the problem with this costume is what was it
33:48
Speaker 3: supposed to be?
33:49
Speaker 1: A clown?
33:50
Speaker 2: It looked like it was supposed to be a pumpkin, right?
33:51
Speaker 1: Man.
33:52
Speaker 3: I don't know.
33:53
Speaker 2: Is that what it was supposed to be? I don't know.
33:55
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. Like, you can't even explain it. Like,
33:58
Speaker 3: what was it supposed to be?
33:59
Speaker 2: Yeah.
34:00
Speaker 13: I don't know.
34:00
Speaker 2: Did y'all ever see that series, Us? Yes, I did.
34:03
Speaker 2: That's what it looks like. Like, a play on some
34:05
Speaker 2: racist BS. That's what it looks like. That's all right.
34:08
Speaker 1: Yeah.
34:09
Speaker 11: But I want to know where were the parents because, like.
34:14
Speaker 2: Would you let your son dress up in that?
34:16
Speaker 8: Yeah, because Landon used to do stuff with Target back
34:18
Speaker 8: in the day, like back to school. You get to
34:20
Speaker 8: see what your child is putting on before they take
34:22
Speaker 8: the picture and all the things.
34:23
Speaker 11: I'm going to be honest with you.
34:25
Speaker 3: I thought that was AI this whole time. I mean,
34:27
Speaker 3: I knew that there was a controversy, but when I
34:29
Speaker 3: saw the picture, I'm like, that can't possibly be. Exactly.
34:31
Speaker 3: He doing the whole, you know, the whole thing.
34:33
Speaker 1: The whole minstrel Sambo pose.
34:35
Speaker 2: The stance.
34:35
Speaker 7: The stance and everything.
34:36
Speaker 13: Exactly.
34:37
Speaker 2: He had everything. That's what I'm saying.
34:39
Speaker 7: He had everything.
34:39
Speaker 2: And they know exactly what's going on.
34:41
Speaker 10: That's why I'm glad that Viola Davis rejected their apology.
34:45
Speaker 2: Like, man, y'all know what's up. Y'all have already shown
34:47
Speaker 2: us who y'all are and that y'all don't care about us. Oh,
34:50
Speaker 2: circus clown.
34:51
Speaker 1: Okay.
34:51
Speaker 12: Keep it.
34:52
Speaker 13: Yeah.
34:52
Speaker 2: Keep it.
34:53
Speaker 1: Yeah.
34:54
Speaker 8: So the company Target, they said that they are investigating
34:57
Speaker 8: how this got approved in the first place. But, you know,
35:00
Speaker 8: a lot of people have a lot to say about
35:03
Speaker 8: this costume and why it was even up in the
35:05
Speaker 8: first place.
35:06
Speaker 2: Investigate.

36:44
Speaker 1: Nah, it's good to be here. I'm super duper excited
36:49
Speaker 1: and proud and happy in this moment with this new album.
36:53
Speaker 1: And I'm getting right to it. Please. It's something I
36:57
Speaker 1: can't even describe in words because we did a listening
37:00
Speaker 1: session last night.
37:02
Speaker 5: Oh, man.
37:03
Speaker 1: And I had the blessed opportunity to be able to
37:05
Speaker 1: fly in Dilla's family.
37:07
Speaker 16: Ooh.
37:08
Speaker 1: Oh, wow. And they come to the stage at the front.
37:11
Speaker 1: And I got a role in the front. Because there's
37:14
Speaker 1: a moment in the way the show was curated where
37:18
Speaker 1: the most iconic producers of the culture pulled up to
37:22
Speaker 1: speak on Dilla's way, his technical process, and how he
37:26
Speaker 1: creatively contributes.
37:28
Speaker 3: Who was there?
37:29
Speaker 1: Primo, Pete Rock, 88 Keys, 9th Wonder.
37:32
Speaker 13: Mm-hmm.
37:33
Speaker 1: Lars Professor, Havoc, Mobb Deep, and they all sitting in
37:37
Speaker 1: the front row like Avengers. And I'm on the stage
37:42
Speaker 1: and they're right in the front row, so I'm looking
37:44
Speaker 1: at this the whole night, because we played the album
37:46
Speaker 1: before we got to their segment. When the Yancey dynasty
37:52
Speaker 1: was introduced to the stage, when I tell you I
37:56
Speaker 1: cried uncontrollable tears of joy, because me and Dilla... And
38:03
Speaker 1: his family, we've been involved with each other for 30 years.
38:09
Speaker 1: Only one I've ever met besides Dilla was Ma Dukes.
38:13
Speaker 1: So to see them for the first time, knowing that
38:15
Speaker 1: they've been a part of this journey for 30 years,
38:18
Speaker 1: this year, though. So, like, I'm celebrating literally five album
38:22
Speaker 1: anniversaries right now. So the first Leaders of the New
38:25
Speaker 1: School album came out in 91. And then the Low
38:27
Speaker 1: End Theory album with Tribe came out, which is the
38:29
Speaker 1: second Tribe album, that came out in 91. So Scenario...
38:33
Speaker 1: And Oh My God turns 35 this year. Then my
38:36
Speaker 1: first solo album, The Coming, is 30 years. And then
38:41
Speaker 1: the Genesis album is 25 years. And then The Big
38:44
Speaker 1: Bang is 20 years. And that shit came out June 13th,
38:48
Speaker 1: the day that the Knicks won the fucking chip for
38:50
Speaker 1: the first time in 53 years. The same day. With
38:53
Speaker 1: New York shit and Touch It on it. So Dilla
38:56
Speaker 1: is on three of those five albums. This year is
38:59
Speaker 1: the 20-year anniversary of Dilla's transition. The fucking Grammys... is
39:03
Speaker 1: airing on Dilla's birthday.
39:05
Speaker 3: Wow.
39:06
Speaker 1: This is a divine alignment like no other. There's some
39:09
Speaker 1: shit that's greater than man manifesting right now. So it's like,
39:13
Speaker 1: to be in this moment, it's surreal because it's just like,
39:16
Speaker 1: it's been my man, my brother, my friend, 30 years.
39:20
Speaker 1: He's been gone for 20. I continued to work with
39:23
Speaker 1: him since his transition. I'm going to leave him off
39:26
Speaker 1: with no project. And the first Diligence we put out
39:30
Speaker 1: in 07 just as a mixtape and gave it away
39:32
Speaker 1: for free just to tribute his life. So this is
39:36
Speaker 1: 19 years later that Diligence 2 was coming. And I'm
39:42
Speaker 1: on my first interview since then. Why the 25th?
39:46
Speaker 3: Because most albums drop on Friday nowadays.
39:48
Speaker 1: Why did you.
39:48
Speaker 3: Choose to do it?
39:50
Speaker 1: I wanted to drop this album when the Tuesdays was
39:54
Speaker 1: the traditional release date. And I also felt like this
39:58
Speaker 1: moment was more important than allowing it. I wanted it
40:02
Speaker 1: to be an isolated, standalone moment. I don't want to
40:06
Speaker 1: deal with the cluster of everything that releases on Fridays.
40:10
Speaker 3: And Thursday nights.
40:11
Speaker 1: So I felt like this project deserved that attention, that
40:16
Speaker 1: standalone moment, and It just felt like the right thing
40:20
Speaker 1: to do.
40:20
Speaker 3: Mathematics is God. What's the power of born God?
40:22
Speaker 1: Why? Because now it's born, Almighty.
40:23
Speaker 7: That's right.
40:24
Speaker 1: Come on, God body. Talk that shit. Now, it's again, like,
40:30
Speaker 1: and big shout out to my Dukes. Big shout out
40:32
Speaker 1: to Ella J. Big shout out to Dilla's beautiful daughter,
40:36
Speaker 1: the princess. They are still in New York. And we're
40:40
Speaker 1: going to get up and probably do something nice this evening,
40:42
Speaker 1: like a dinner or something, and just vibe and talk
40:44
Speaker 1: old Dilla stories and celebrate last night. But I ain't
40:47
Speaker 1: going front, man. Everybody just know, like, when you hear
40:50
Speaker 1: this music, it's something that, it's not possible to do
40:55
Speaker 1: this unless you was being literally blessed with what I
40:58
Speaker 1: was gifted with. 300 beats, right? Almost 300.
41:01
Speaker 3: Almost 300.
41:02
Speaker 13: Yeah.
41:03
Speaker 1: You cannot create a moment like this unless you was
41:06
Speaker 1: gifted with what I was gifted with.
41:08
Speaker 3: Have you ever stopped to think why he gave you
41:10
Speaker 3: that much production?
41:13
Speaker 1: I started to feel like I needed to kind of, like,
41:15
Speaker 1: come to the realization of that recently. I didn't think
41:18
Speaker 1: about it before that. I just think, you know, he
41:21
Speaker 1: f * * * ed with bus rhymes. He liked
41:22
Speaker 1: how I spit on his s * * *. Here, here, here, here, here.
41:25
Speaker 7: Right.
41:25
Speaker 1: But after a while, I started to feel like maybe
41:30
Speaker 1: he knew something and saw something in the way that
41:33
Speaker 1: he seen how I appreciated his music, how I loved
41:37
Speaker 1: his production, how I loved his work, how I loved
41:39
Speaker 1: him as a friend, a human being. Like, I'm a
41:42
Speaker 1: big up, I got a big up common real quick.
41:45
Speaker 1: During the time when I was making the Big Bang
41:47
Speaker 1: album on Aftermath, I was living in L.A. the three
41:50
Speaker 1: years of making that album. And Dilla was living in L.A. too.
41:55
Speaker 1: But why I'm bigging up Common is because Common got
41:58
Speaker 1: him the crib that he needed to be at and
42:01
Speaker 1: live in to be closer to the specialist to treat
42:04
Speaker 1: his lupus illness.
42:05
Speaker 3: Wow.
42:06
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? And Common moved into the
42:08
Speaker 1: crib and lived with him. and brought my dukes there.
42:13
Speaker 1: So when I was getting the bulk of the beats
42:16
Speaker 1: towards his decline, it was at this beautiful home.
42:20
Speaker 2: Yeah.
42:21
Speaker 1: So I would come to the crib, because he would
42:24
Speaker 1: make me come to the crib. It wasn't no emailing
42:26
Speaker 1: me no beats. It wasn't no, I'm going to send
42:28
Speaker 1: you some shit. Come to the crib. So I come
42:31
Speaker 1: to the crib, and the shit that was so mind-blowing
42:35
Speaker 1: to me was his moms kind of evolved into his engineer. Mm-hmm. So, like,
42:41
Speaker 1: you would come in the crib, and the living room
42:44
Speaker 1: was as soon as, like, you walked in the door.
42:46
Speaker 1: But then there was the dining room. They left the
42:48
Speaker 1: dining room empty and made it his studio. And then
42:51
Speaker 1: after the dining room, you go to the bedrooms and
42:53
Speaker 1: the bathroom in the back of the crib, right? So
42:55
Speaker 1: you come in the crib, and Ma Dukes would be
42:57
Speaker 1: on the couch, and she's watching TV. Once you get
43:01
Speaker 1: in there, you greet and kiss moms, hug Ma Dukes.
43:03
Speaker 1: She's watching TV. You get past the living room, and...
43:08
Speaker 1: You look in that dealer from the living room. So
43:10
Speaker 1: he got the beat machine set up. He got the MPC.
43:13
Speaker 1: He got the SB-12, two beat machines. The closet, the
43:16
Speaker 1: coat closet, from the ceiling to the.
43:19
Speaker 3: F * * * ing.
43:19
Speaker 1: Floor, alphabetical order, every single vinyl in existence that he
43:25
Speaker 1: would use to sample and chop to make his beats.
43:28
Speaker 1: So his moms, like if he needed a certain record,
43:32
Speaker 1: he'd tell his mom to go get this record, and
43:34
Speaker 1: she would go in there and flip through the alphabetical order,
43:36
Speaker 1: pull it, bring it to him, and then he'll tell
43:39
Speaker 1: his mom what machine he was going to work on
43:42
Speaker 1: or he wanted to work on. And she would get
43:44
Speaker 1: behind that and put the wires and the plug-ins and
43:47
Speaker 1: all of that or switch it to the other machine.
43:50
Speaker 1: And then she would go back to the couch and
43:52
Speaker 1: watch whatever soap opera she was watching and Dilla would
43:54
Speaker 1: get to cooking in the headphones. Who the is going
43:57
Speaker 1: to try to pass me a spliff in front of
43:58
Speaker 1: my dudes one time? I ain't smoked no weed in
44:04
Speaker 1: front of no parent before.
44:05
Speaker 2: What did she say?
44:06
Speaker 1: Right. She couldn't say nothing because I hid behind the wall.
44:13
Speaker 3: The industry's obsession with budgets killed some of hip-hop's imagination
44:17
Speaker 3: when it came to videos. Because people felt like because
44:20
Speaker 3: they had limitations with resources, you know, I don't know.
44:23
Speaker 3: Maybe they felt like they couldn't make the type of
44:25
Speaker 3: creative videos y'all were making.
44:26
Speaker 1: See, I ain't going to front. I definitely feel like
44:29
Speaker 1: it had some sort of effect. Because even for me,
44:31
Speaker 1: for a second, I was like, shit. we can't spend
44:34
Speaker 1: this money no more like this. You know what I'm saying?
44:38
Speaker 1: Sylvia had us used to these million dollar budgets because
44:41
Speaker 1: she saw the vision that we had and she believed
44:44
Speaker 1: in us. Like Sylvia Rome, man, when I tell you
44:47
Speaker 1: she was like the lifeline of me and Missy becoming
44:52
Speaker 1: the Avengers that we became, I have to super duper
44:57
Speaker 1: big up Sylvia every time I get the opportunity to.
45:00
Speaker 1: she made it a lot easier for us to dream
45:03
Speaker 1: and imagine. When that stopped and the change happened, yeah,
45:09
Speaker 1: it us up for a second. Because, you know, we
45:12
Speaker 1: knew that we couldn't go as far as going where
45:15
Speaker 1: we was going with the creative. Like, I was using
45:17
Speaker 1: digital domain, which was the special effects crew that did
45:20
Speaker 1: the Titanic movie for the Janet joint. You know what
45:23
Speaker 1: I'm saying? Like, the just came off of 10 Oscars
45:26
Speaker 1: at that time for Titanic.
45:28
Speaker 3: So.
45:29
Speaker 1: that bag to have that special effect was so out
45:32
Speaker 1: of control that once that lifeline got cut you definitely
45:38
Speaker 1: had to find another way to be super creative because
45:42
Speaker 1: you know you can't let the legacy not feel like
45:44
Speaker 1: it's not continuing to evolve in the same direction that
45:48
Speaker 1: technology didn't make it easier technology made it easier but
45:53
Speaker 1: That's a really recent thing.
45:55
Speaker 3: Got you, got you, got you.
45:56
Speaker 2: So it was way more expensive to do the technology then?
45:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, because when the budgets got cut, there still wasn't
46:01
Speaker 1: no AI shit.
46:02
Speaker 3: Right, right.
46:03
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? There still wasn't no AI shit.
46:05
Speaker 1: So it was like, what's the way to get the
46:07
Speaker 1: dope special effects off that me and Missy was doing? Mm-hmm.
46:11
Speaker 1: even though there wasn't no AI. You still had to
46:13
Speaker 1: find these incredible effects companies and effects production and crews.
46:19
Speaker 1: And then you also had to find those hungry new
46:22
Speaker 1: that just wanted to have Busta and Missy name on
46:25
Speaker 1: their resume. So they wanted to sacrifice to be a
46:29
Speaker 1: part of the legacy. And you stumbled on a few
46:32
Speaker 1: of those and it was a blessing because it was
46:34
Speaker 1: bringing some unbelievable to the table that literally would have
46:38
Speaker 1: still cost a monster bag to do. But That bag
46:42
Speaker 1: just wasn't smart to spend even if you still had it.
46:44
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying?
46:45
Speaker 2: You got a music video.
46:46
Speaker 10: You and Janet Jackson's music video is in the Guinness
46:48
Speaker 10: Book of World Records for the most expensive hip-hop video
46:51
Speaker 10: ever made.
46:51
Speaker 6: Like, I don't even think people can fathom a $ 2. 4
46:53
Speaker 6: million budget for one video.
46:56
Speaker 2: Like, that's insane.
46:58
Speaker 7: And also.
46:59
Speaker 6: I don't know if an art, I mean, I say
47:01
Speaker 6: all artists, but it would be hard for me to
47:03
Speaker 6: think that an artist would even understand how to allocate
47:06
Speaker 6: that budget in a way that made like business sense.
47:09
Speaker 6: You spend money on a lot of things nowadays with
47:12
Speaker 6: these artists.
47:12
Speaker 2: It's like a starter pack, like the chains and all
47:14
Speaker 2: this stuff.
47:15
Speaker 6: But you talking about finding AI companies and doing research
47:17
Speaker 6: and finding new video.
47:19
Speaker 2: Like that was a lot of knowledge that.
47:20
Speaker 1: You had to have.
47:21
Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
47:22
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. But we was also blessed with the incredible opportunity.
47:27
Speaker 1: experts in those spaces.
47:29
Speaker 5: When you got.
47:30
Speaker 1: A Hype Williams, it's like a cheat code. You know
47:33
Speaker 1: what I'm saying?
47:34
Speaker 3: Yeah.
47:34
Speaker 1: When you got a Sylvia Roan who believe in your
47:37
Speaker 1: dream the way she did and she was in a
47:39
Speaker 1: position of power to make the decision to push the
47:43
Speaker 1: launch button on the missile for you to really explode
47:47
Speaker 1: and blow the way you're supposed to. Sylvia Roan was
47:50
Speaker 1: there for us. And then, you know, we also came
47:53
Speaker 1: from a time where it was cool to be smart.
47:57
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? It was cool to have
47:58
Speaker 1: knowledge of self. It was cool to be Zulu Nation.
48:01
Speaker 1: It was cool to be, you know, 5%. It was cool. Like,
48:04
Speaker 1: and it was almost an accountability that came with that.
48:07
Speaker 1: It's like, if you didn't represent the culture, if you
48:10
Speaker 1: claim you had knowledge of self, you got your ass whooped.
48:12
Speaker 2: Yeah.
48:13
Speaker 1: And it was real accountability to represent a conscious effort
48:18
Speaker 1: to strive for perfection or deal with some sort of righteousness.
48:21
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? That kind of forced you
48:23
Speaker 1: to also be about your research skills. Due diligence. Pun intended.
48:27
Speaker 1: Diligence two out now. But, you know, it was really
48:31
Speaker 1: important that you was going about s * * *
48:34
Speaker 1: in the way that the community that you came from
48:37
Speaker 1: at that time raised you to move and shake. And
48:42
Speaker 1: that's the type of s * * * that we on.
48:44
Speaker 1: That's why he over here talking about mathematics to me.
48:46
Speaker 1: He know I got knowledge of self. I know he
48:47
Speaker 1: got knowledge of self. It's like, how many guests can
48:50
Speaker 1: you do that s * * * with when they
48:51
Speaker 1: pull up? You know what I'm saying? S * * *
48:53
Speaker 1: was going platinum with Fight the Power.
48:56
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying?
48:58
Speaker 1: That shit don't happen no more. So it's like, at
49:00
Speaker 1: that time, it was an amazing time to actually be raised.
49:03
Speaker 1: That village that it took to raise a child was
49:07
Speaker 1: very impressionable, man.
49:08
Speaker 3: A lot of that literature was a part of hip-hop
49:11
Speaker 3: culture as well. Like, you had to read from the gods.
49:13
Speaker 3: You had to read the autobiography of Malcolm X. You
49:15
Speaker 3: had to read, you know, A Message to the Black
49:17
Speaker 3: Man by Elijah Muhammad.
49:18
Speaker 1: How to Eat to Live. How to Eat to Live.
49:19
Speaker 7: Absolutely.
49:20
Speaker 3: Were part of the culture as well.
49:22
Speaker 1: Yeah. It was very much... It was so much a
49:24
Speaker 1: part of the culture that it was cool to actually...
49:27
Speaker 1: It was almost not cool if you didn't know that.
49:30
Speaker 7: Mm-hmm.
49:31
Speaker 1: You actually look like, you was the 85%.
49:34
Speaker 3: The Mr.
49:36
Speaker 1: Begar believe in a poison animal eater, the slave to
49:39
Speaker 1: the mental death and power. He's led in the wrong direction,
49:41
Speaker 1: hard to be led in the right. And you didn't
49:43
Speaker 1: want to be categorized as that. So it's like, motherfuckers
49:47
Speaker 1: really was on some, I want to sponge up information.
49:51
Speaker 1: Even if he wasn't a part of the nation. Even
49:53
Speaker 1: if he wasn't a part of the Zulu nation. You
49:56
Speaker 1: still wanted to sponge up some shit because it was
49:58
Speaker 1: just really cool to be a smart man. and have
50:01
Speaker 1: some intellect and be able to speak from an informed
50:04
Speaker 1: place in just general conversation. So like what Sia's saying,
50:09
Speaker 1: these books and this knowledge was shared and very much
50:13
Speaker 1: present in the music.
50:14
Speaker 3: That's right.
50:16
Speaker 1: Because it was the to be able to say that
50:18
Speaker 1: with a badge of honor, like, yeah. I know some shit.
50:23
Speaker 3: He said, Farrakhan's a prophet. I think you ought to
50:25
Speaker 3: listen to him. As many times as my dad used
50:28
Speaker 3: to try to get me to sit down and watch
50:30
Speaker 3: Minister Farrakhan speeches, when Chuck D said that, he was like, oh,
50:33
Speaker 3: I got to pay attention. That's what my pops be
50:34
Speaker 3: trying to get me to listen to. And then when
50:35
Speaker 3: Biggie said, deep like the mind of Farrakhan.
50:37
Speaker 1: Oh, my God. Crazy, yo. Oh, my God. It's crazy.
50:41
Speaker 1: And it was a beautiful and a necessary time. And
50:44
Speaker 1: it really do need to get back to all of that.
50:46
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? More so now than that time.
50:49
Speaker 1: Because this bugged the fuck out right now. This shit
50:53
Speaker 1: look crazy right now, yo.
50:55
Speaker 3: What?
50:55
Speaker 13: Yo.
50:57
Speaker 1: Is trying to figure out the exit plan for real. Like,
50:59
Speaker 1: what the * * * * are we doing? Like,
51:01
Speaker 1: what are we doing? This * * * * bug, yo.
51:03
Speaker 1: So it's like, you know, get back to the research
51:05
Speaker 1: and start doing what y'all need to do to understand
51:08
Speaker 1: how to become your best self, especially in these times, yo.
51:12
Speaker 10: Now, as far as, like, verses, right, there's no rapper,
51:15
Speaker 10: I feel, that could even * * * * touch
51:17
Speaker 10: you ever, ever.
51:18
Speaker 2: Can he shine your boots?
51:20
Speaker 1: Right?
51:22
Speaker 10: But it's only right that you go against your sister, Missy. Like,
51:25
Speaker 10: you and Missy would have to do a verses.
51:27
Speaker 1: I tried that. We actually tried that.
51:29
Speaker 3: Yeah.
51:30
Speaker 1: For me, when it's a versus, it's a battle to me.
51:35
Speaker 2: Where'd y'all try that?
51:35
Speaker 1: On the tour? I can't pop my schnoll. We actually
51:37
Speaker 1: tried to do a versus. There was conversation that started.
51:43
Speaker 1: It was significant money. It was an incredible opportunity. And
51:47
Speaker 1: it just, I don't know exactly what the reason was
51:50
Speaker 1: why it didn't happen. But even with that, like we
51:54
Speaker 1: was going to do it where it was.
51:56
Speaker 2: Like, Gotta be visual too.
51:57
Speaker 1: The visuals.
51:58
Speaker 2: Yes, that's the whole point.
51:59
Speaker 1: The outfits.
52:00
Speaker 13: Yes.
52:01
Speaker 1: The performances. But it didn't happen. I don't know why
52:05
Speaker 1: it didn't happen, but me personally, Missy is not someone
52:08
Speaker 1: that I would prefer to do a versus with.
52:11
Speaker 2: Okay.
52:11
Speaker 1: Because I can't talk to her.
52:13
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
52:15
Speaker 1: There's no talk with my twin. That's my female twin. Yes,
52:21
Speaker 1: it is. My sister, my heart, I love her beyond description.
52:24
Speaker 1: So it's like, There's never a slight possibility of popping
52:30
Speaker 1: to Missy. The way I would want to in a verse. Yeah.
52:33
Speaker 1: With a mom.
52:34
Speaker 3: There's only one other person, but they're not even alive,
52:36
Speaker 3: God bless their dead. You and ODB would have been crazy.
52:39
Speaker 1: Oh, wow.
52:41
Speaker 3: ODB versus. Damn. That would have been crazy.
52:44
Speaker 2: Damn.
52:45
Speaker 1: Super stupid. Yeah. Super stupid. And I'm talking the ODB
52:50
Speaker 1: before he went to jail.
52:52
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, absolutely.
52:53
Speaker 1: That versus would have been insane crazy.
52:57
Speaker 3: Yeah.
52:57
Speaker 1: And I ain't even going to lie, yo. There's a
53:00
Speaker 1: story with me and ODB that I like to share
53:02
Speaker 1: with my friends, but. And I got to share, I
53:06
Speaker 1: love Aeson so much. Let me tell you how genius
53:09
Speaker 1: this man was. They had this venue called Hot Rod.
53:13
Speaker 1: And this was back in like the 80s, late 80s,
53:17
Speaker 1: super early 90s. And they did an event there for
53:20
Speaker 1: the 5% Nation of the Gods and Earths. And Kane
53:24
Speaker 1: was headlining. I believe Poor Righteous Teachers is there. Grand Nubian.
53:29
Speaker 1: Prince Rakim before he became the RZA.
53:31
Speaker 7: Mm-hmm.
53:32
Speaker 1: And the genius before he came to GZA. Long story short,
53:36
Speaker 1: after the concert, after the performances, rather, the gods had
53:40
Speaker 1: to build before they could leave. So we outside. RZA
53:45
Speaker 1: and GZA and Old Dirty, they kind of was the
53:48
Speaker 1: ones that was the PhDs. They was the ones that
53:52
Speaker 1: acknowledged 120. So it's like they was the super smart
53:56
Speaker 1: and powerful gods in the cypher. And they controlled the cypher.
54:02
Speaker 1: But there was a moment where somebody said that they
54:05
Speaker 1: knew a certain level of lessons and you got to
54:08
Speaker 1: show and prove that you know them. And it didn't
54:11
Speaker 1: play out well for this particular individual. And old Dirty
54:16
Speaker 1: started going crazy, but not going crazy on a beef level.
54:20
Speaker 1: He was going crazy on a science, high science level.
54:23
Speaker 1: Like the way he was swiftly quoting the degrees and
54:28
Speaker 1: then dealing with the show and proves of these degrees
54:30
Speaker 1: and making sure that people understood in the cypher how
54:34
Speaker 1: serious you got to deal with representing this culture a
54:37
Speaker 1: certain way. You got to experience the genius and the
54:41
Speaker 1: brilliance in O'Dirty, even though he still had that same
54:45
Speaker 1: wild out charisma. So, fast forward, when Woo Blue and
54:52
Speaker 1: RZA set up for all the artists to go to
54:54
Speaker 1: separate labels, O'Dirty come to Elektra. So I'm on Elektra.
54:58
Speaker 1: And I'm still trying to figure out how to approach
55:01
Speaker 1: this solo artist. I signed the deal in 93. 94? 93.
55:07
Speaker 1: I put out my first solo album in 96. Old
55:10
Speaker 1: Dirty album came out in 95. He dropped his shit
55:14
Speaker 1: before me. We going to New Orleans to this convention
55:18
Speaker 1: called the BRE. I don't know if y'all remember that.
55:21
Speaker 1: But they had this convention in New Orleans called the
55:23
Speaker 1: BRE convention. And this is where, like, it was like,
55:28
Speaker 1: How Can I Be Down.
55:29
Speaker 3: Okay.
55:30
Speaker 1: F * * * ing Jack the Rapper. You know,
55:33
Speaker 1: New Music Seminar. It was like that. But this BRE
55:36
Speaker 1: convention is in New Orleans and we get there and
55:41
Speaker 1: the hotel lobby is stupid. Like, it's packed crazy because
55:45
Speaker 1: every label, every artist, every entourage is staying in the
55:50
Speaker 1: same place. And a lot of the showcases that was
55:52
Speaker 1: happening in this convention was happening at the hotel. So...
55:58
Speaker 1: While we waiting for the, before we even leave New York,
56:01
Speaker 1: Elektra put me and O'Dirty in the same limo. O'Dirty
56:04
Speaker 1: plays the Return to the 36 Chambers. O'Dirty is, he's
56:09
Speaker 1: still him and I'm getting shot. So he plays the
56:14
Speaker 1: album on the way to Kennedy Airport and I'm listening
56:17
Speaker 1: to this and I'm like, I'm looking at this and
56:20
Speaker 1: I'm like, Like, he made me a little nervous. Like,
56:24
Speaker 1: this s * * * sounded so incredible. I was
56:26
Speaker 1: looking at this s * * * like a little uncomfortable. Like,
56:29
Speaker 1: what the f * * * am I going to
56:31
Speaker 1: do to follow this wild s * * * that
56:34
Speaker 1: he's doing on this album? And I'm really f * * *
56:36
Speaker 1: ed because what he did was, it just sounded so
56:39
Speaker 1: incredible to me. So he got a bulletproof vest on.
56:44
Speaker 1: We go to the metal detector and I'm behind him.
56:47
Speaker 1: So he's in front of me. He get through the
56:49
Speaker 1: metal detector. He go through it with the vest on.
56:52
Speaker 1: Security at the airport, they call about, whatever police they call,
56:56
Speaker 1: about 15 of these motherfuckers show up. So they surround Dirty.
57:00
Speaker 1: You just see Dirty.
57:04
Speaker 3: You just see it.
57:04
Speaker 1: It's like he's just wowing. What?
57:09
Speaker 13: What?
57:10
Speaker 1: Like he's just blocking on everybody. Them times. It ain't
57:14
Speaker 1: even cool to have security, so we moving around, no security,
57:17
Speaker 1: no nothing. He got a bottle of Wild Irish Rose
57:20
Speaker 1: in a brown bag with the vest on, fresh from
57:24
Speaker 1: getting shot, still healing from that, and get through with
57:27
Speaker 1: all of it. Obviously, different times. The Wild Irish Rose
57:32
Speaker 1: get on the plane, the bulletproof vest get on the plane,
57:35
Speaker 1: he don't take it off. We ain't first-class budget, so
57:38
Speaker 1: we in the back of the plane. Old Dirty get
57:41
Speaker 1: behind this old man. This man look like he about
57:43
Speaker 1: 78 years old. He's white. He's sitting in his chair
57:46
Speaker 1: minding his business. Old Dirty know every old school classic
57:50
Speaker 1: from R & B to soul. He get to singing
57:53
Speaker 1: in his s * * * here. He going crazy
57:58

Speaker 1: can't move. He calling to get somebody to call. Attendance
58:04
Speaker 1: to stop. Old D.B. from singing in his hair. ODB
58:08
Speaker 1: would take a break. When they come pull up on him,
58:10
Speaker 1: he get to singing in his mom's ear again. We laughing,
58:14
Speaker 1: bugging the fuck out. We get to New Orleans. We
58:17
Speaker 1: get off the plane. We waiting for our hotel room keys.
58:20
Speaker 1: It's taking mad long because the lines. We started a
58:23
Speaker 1: cypher in the lobby. This is literally on the net
58:26
Speaker 1: with me and Old Dirty and Rampage. We spitting in
58:29
Speaker 1: the lobby. We get the room keys. We go upstairs.
58:32
Speaker 1: Everybody get fresh. ODB show is first. We come downstairs.
58:36
Speaker 1: We're getting the showcase. ODB perform on a stage, and
58:40
Speaker 1: the whole stage is lined with mirrors. So he walk
58:44
Speaker 1: on the stage to Isaac Hayes' Walk On.
58:47
Speaker 3: This shit is incredible.
58:48
Speaker 1: This music's sounding super like the most incredible theme music
58:52
Speaker 1: for him to walk out to. He get on stage.
58:56
Speaker 1: I guess he ain't like the way the reaction was.
58:58
Speaker 1: Mind you, this shit is super lit, but it wasn't
59:00
Speaker 1: enough for him. This motherfucker said, what the shit's going
59:04
Speaker 1: on in here? I'm not satisfied. We're going to do
59:07
Speaker 1: this again. Leave the stage. Start the intro over. Do
59:11
Speaker 1: the same walk back on the stage. Go straight into
59:15
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Zoo. This is a tornado. When I tell you
59:19
Speaker 1: the first song, he don't do none of the before that.
59:23
Speaker 1: First song is Brooklyn Zoo. the place up, but he
59:28
Speaker 1: couldn't even get to, like, the eighth bar. He'd get to, like,
59:30
Speaker 1: fourth or the sixth bar. He'd turn around, he saw
59:33
Speaker 1: himself in that mirror. That n * * * a
59:35
Speaker 1: didn't perform no more. That n * * * a
59:38
Speaker 1: went to his reflection.
59:39
Speaker 3: Damn.
59:45
Speaker 1: Yo, a song went to his reflection and started f * * *
59:50
Speaker 1: ing playing with his reflection. And he had a hype
59:54
Speaker 1: man named Buddha Monk. Buddha had to do the whole
59:58
Speaker 1: song for Old Dirty. When the hook come at the end,
1:00:02
Speaker 1: shame on you. That's the only part of the song
1:00:07
Speaker 1: he did besides the little four to five bars he
1:00:09
Speaker 1: did up top. That whole he was playing with his reflection.
1:00:12
Speaker 3: That's crazy.
1:00:13
Speaker 1: And that moment, that ODB is the ODB that I
1:00:18
Speaker 1: would have loved to do a verse with.
1:00:20
Speaker 3: This is my last question. One of my favorite rap
1:00:24
Speaker 3: songs ever. It's Why We Die. BMX, Jay-Z, Busta Rhymes,
1:00:29
Speaker 3: produced by Swizz. What was the inspiration for that record?
1:00:32
Speaker 1: It actually wasn't produced by Swizz. That wasn't Swizz?
1:00:34
Speaker 3: Mm-mm.
1:00:34
Speaker 2: Who was that?
1:00:35
Speaker 1: It was a rough rider. Big up Pete Killer. That
1:00:37
Speaker 1: sounded like Swizz. Yeah, he was a rough rider producer. So,
1:00:42
Speaker 1: you know, at that time, that was the winning sound,
1:00:44
Speaker 1: and they was all on that shit together somewhat. But
1:00:46
Speaker 1: Pete Killer, Big Up Pete Killer, he produced that record.
1:00:50
Speaker 1: First of all, super big up to Hov, super big
1:00:52
Speaker 1: up to DMX. Rest in peace to the dogs, my brother.
1:00:56
Speaker 1: When I got the opportunity to record that song, it
1:00:58
Speaker 1: was definitely a bucket list moment for me. That's the
1:01:01
Speaker 1: first time that I seen somebody spit without writing nothing.
1:01:05
Speaker 7: Hov.
1:01:06
Speaker 1: Hov. First time I saw that was at that moment.
1:01:10
Speaker 1: DMX recorded his version, Atlanta. Big up to Eric Nix, too.
1:01:15
Speaker 1: Violator family. He had to chase DMX around for like
1:01:18
Speaker 1: four days straight. four-wheeler bikes with him and all type
1:01:22
Speaker 1: of to get that verse from dog dog dog lived
1:01:27
Speaker 1: he lived you know i'm saying like he's going to
1:01:30
Speaker 1: enjoy himself he's gonna drive without a license he's gonna
1:01:33
Speaker 1: get on the four-wheelers he don't give a he's gonna
1:01:36
Speaker 1: live and eric nicks had to go and do all
1:01:39
Speaker 1: of that with him to get dog to finally come
1:01:41
Speaker 1: to the studio to do.
1:01:42
Speaker 3: It godly verse too oh my god unbelievable See, Ghost clearly,
1:01:47
Speaker 3: even though most don't hear me, he went crazy.
1:01:49
Speaker 1: Wild on it.
1:01:50
Speaker 3: He went crazy.
1:01:51
Speaker 1: Black. And he wasn't even satisfied with the rhyme. Like,
1:01:55
Speaker 1: when he heard it finished, when it came out, he
1:01:59
Speaker 1: was like, why I put that shit out? I wanted
1:02:01
Speaker 1: to do my verse over. What's wrong with y'all?
1:02:05
Speaker 3: Oh, he didn't know Jay was on it.
1:02:07
Speaker 1: I don't know if he knew Jay was on it
1:02:08
Speaker 1: or not, but he wanted to re-spit his verse. I
1:02:11
Speaker 1: think Nix told him Jay was getting on it, but
1:02:13
Speaker 1: I don't think he heard Jay's verse. Mm-hmm. but he
1:02:16
Speaker 1: still wanted to spit it over. So he didn't get
1:02:19
Speaker 1: that chance and he definitely said what he said, but
1:02:21
Speaker 1: that verse, like you, like how you say it is, godly,
1:02:26
Speaker 1: I could not hear what the he wanted to say over.
1:02:29
Speaker 1: That's how sick that verse was to me too.
1:02:31
Speaker 3: I was ugly, so I robbed. No one loved me. God,
1:02:34
Speaker 3: like he was going black.
1:02:36
Speaker 1: He blacked on it. Blacked the out. And that moment
1:02:41
Speaker 1: led me to making so many other moments Musically, I
1:02:44
Speaker 1: got records with Dog that the world ain't hear yet. Wow. Wow.
1:02:49
Speaker 1: I definitely do. Obviously, for me, though, before I even
1:02:52
Speaker 1: think of doing anything with it, I want to make
1:02:54
Speaker 1: sure that, you know, give it to the estate. Swiss,
1:02:57
Speaker 1: you know, in case they want to do something with it,
1:02:59
Speaker 1: they got to have first dibs. I got a verse
1:03:02
Speaker 1: that Prodigy actually came and did for me in person.
1:03:06
Speaker 1: Rest in peace, Bandana P, Mobb Deep. He spit on
1:03:11
Speaker 1: something for me before he transitioned. And when I found
1:03:14
Speaker 1: out the last Mob album was happening, which was incredible
1:03:18
Speaker 1: to me, I sent it to Have It. Wow.
1:03:20
Speaker 2: I love that.
1:03:20
Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, Have It. I don't know if you heard this,
1:03:23
Speaker 1: but he did this for me before he transitioned here.
1:03:27
Speaker 1: And whatever you want to do with it, do it.
1:03:28
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? That's just, you know, that's
1:03:31
Speaker 1: just how I try to make work. Because I know
1:03:36
Speaker 1: they're going to know. what the best way is to
1:03:39
Speaker 1: use that. You know what I'm saying? I'm going to
1:03:41
Speaker 1: always make sure that if I get the opportunity to
1:03:44
Speaker 1: use it, I'm going to make it beautiful as I can.
1:03:47
Speaker 1: But ain't nobody making P sound as ill as Havoc
1:03:51
Speaker 1: is going to make P sound. You know what I'm saying?
1:03:53
Speaker 1: Ain't nobody, nobody don't know how to do that better
1:03:56
Speaker 1: than Hav. So it's like, you know, and same, same,
1:04:00
Speaker 1: same when it come to dog with Swiss to me,
1:04:02
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying? Nobody can't make dog sound
1:04:04
Speaker 1: better than Swiss to me. And maybe I'm just biased,
1:04:07
Speaker 1: but that's just what it is.
1:04:08
Speaker 3: How did you know that you wanted Doze on that
1:04:10
Speaker 3: type of introspective record, though? You wanted JNX on Why
1:04:14
Speaker 3: We Die.
1:04:15
Speaker 1: I didn't know that I wanted... I didn't even really
1:04:17
Speaker 1: know if that record was going to happen at that time.
1:04:22
Speaker 1: Because they both were super scorching out here. And when
1:04:28
Speaker 1: we did the record, I knew Dog would have leaned
1:04:31
Speaker 1: to it because Dog was already on that type of time.
1:04:34
Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
1:04:35
Speaker 1: But I knew Hov, he's like water. Hov, he spills
1:04:41
Speaker 1: and takes shape to anything that, when it comes to
1:04:43
Speaker 1: subject matter and topics, he could go anywhere you want him.
1:04:47
Speaker 1: Anywhere you would think you would want him to go,
1:04:50
Speaker 1: he can go there. So I took a rolling of
1:04:54
Speaker 1: the dice with asking him to do it. And when
1:04:58
Speaker 1: he did it, I was just grateful because I was like,
1:05:01
Speaker 1: I was interested to hear what his perspective was going
1:05:03
Speaker 1: to be. I kind of expected with dog perspective. I
1:05:06
Speaker 1: knew it was going to be pain with dog. I
1:05:08
Speaker 1: knew it was going to be pain with dog, but
1:05:11
Speaker 1: I wanted to, I was interested to hear Hov's perspective.
1:05:14
Speaker 1: And when I heard it, it was amazing to me too.
1:05:17
Speaker 3: They say the good die young and the hood where
1:05:20
Speaker 3: I'm from.
1:05:21
Speaker 17: Yeah.
1:05:21
Speaker 1: I didn't know the bars better than me. You remember
1:05:24
Speaker 1: the bars better than me or my? You hitting them perfectly. Obviously,
1:05:31
Speaker 1: it's a testament to how much you really f * * *
1:05:32
Speaker 1: ed with that record.
1:05:33
Speaker 3: Oh, and I love that record.
1:05:34
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, my brother.
1:05:36
Speaker 2: We kept you long enough.
1:05:37
Speaker 1: We did.
1:05:38
Speaker 2: And the music video is out now.
1:05:41
Speaker 1: This woman, Busta Rhymes, J Dilla, my brother, rest in peace, King. D'Angelo,
1:05:48
Speaker 1: my brother, rest in peace, King. And I ain't even
1:05:50
Speaker 1: gonna lie, I gotta add this fact. This one f * * *
1:05:53
Speaker 1: ing fact. 48 hours before last week, Wednesday. Friday we
1:05:59
Speaker 1: turned in the music Sunday I found out one sample
1:06:01
Speaker 1: got denied clearance we fixed that and then the album
1:06:04
Speaker 1: came out at midnight on Monday last Wednesday get a
1:06:09
Speaker 1: call from Jimmy Jam that him and Terry Lewis wanted
1:06:13
Speaker 1: to add some keys to the me and D'Angelo record
1:06:15
Speaker 1: wow and it's so crazy to know that I never
1:06:20
Speaker 1: would fathom in my wildest dreams that the caliber of
1:06:26
Speaker 1: creative that Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis is, I wouldn't
1:06:31
Speaker 1: even think to ask them to do something. Because some
1:06:35
Speaker 1: certain just be seeming unreachable. You know what I'm saying?
1:06:40
Speaker 1: But to have them offer to contribute to this body
1:06:43
Speaker 1: of work is also a testament to me of how
1:06:46
Speaker 1: special this magic that me and Dilla was able to
1:06:49
Speaker 1: put together is resonating with others, yo. So I got
1:06:54
Speaker 1: Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis on this woman by the
1:07:00
Speaker 1: dragon and D'Angelo and J Dilla, Jimmy Jam and Teddy

Speaker 3: It's Busta Rhymes. It's the Breakfast Club.
1:07:25
Speaker 1: Yes, sir.
1:07:26
Speaker 5: Till I die.
1:07:28
Speaker 1: It's time for donkey of the day.
1:07:30
Speaker 3: There's a bunch of donkeys out here.
1:07:34
Speaker 2: It really caught me off guard.
1:07:36
Speaker 3: We live a life where we bite our tongue based
1:07:38
Speaker 3: off who we may offend. We never would say it.
1:07:39
Speaker 7: You are a donkey.
1:07:40
Speaker 3: That is why Charlemagne is here.
1:07:48
Speaker 1: Some Donkey of the Day's just saw themselves. On The
1:07:50
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club.
1:07:51
Speaker 3: Okay, Shia, we'll be giving Donkey of the Day to
1:07:53
Speaker 3: you today. Well, Donkey of the Day for Wednesday... Thank you, Taylor.
1:07:56
Speaker 3: Donkey of the Day for Wednesday, August 26th goes to Target. Target, Target, Target, Target.
1:08:01
Speaker 1: What are we doing?
1:08:03
Speaker 3: Okay, I have a question for the whole Target company.
1:08:06
Speaker 3: When is the last time you all actually hit what
1:08:09
Speaker 3: you were aiming for?
1:08:09
Speaker 2: Okay.
1:08:11
Speaker 3: Who in your front office keeps making the mistakes they're making? First,
1:08:15
Speaker 3: it was the 2023 Pride Month backlash. Then you scaled
1:08:18
Speaker 3: back your DEI programs. You ended your three-year racial equity
1:08:22
Speaker 3: action and change program. I think it was called the
1:08:24
Speaker 3: REACH program. That aimed to address racial disparities. You eliminated...
1:08:29
Speaker 3: uh specific numerical hiring and promotion goals for minority employees
1:08:33
Speaker 3: all of that led to a boycott in his 2026
1:08:36
Speaker 3: and target still seems to not be able to get
1:08:39
Speaker 3: it right okay if you haven't heard target had to
1:08:41
Speaker 3: pull and apologize um a costume a children's clown costume
1:08:47
Speaker 3: that some critics say looks a lot like black imagery
1:08:51
Speaker 3: from minstrel shows let's go to abc 7 for the
1:08:53
Speaker 3: report please.
1:08:54
Speaker 16: Well, Target is pulling children's Halloween costumes after critics say
1:08:57
Speaker 16: it resembled blackface.
1:08:59
Speaker 10: The company is now apologizing and investigating how they say
1:09:02
Speaker 10: the costume made it onto store shelves.
1:09:04
Speaker 2: Here's ABC's Sophie Flay.
1:09:07
Speaker 16: This morning, Target is apologizing and removing a children's Halloween
1:09:10
Speaker 16: costume after it was widely criticized as racist. The images
1:09:14
Speaker 16: of the costume are being compared to racist caricatures, evoking blackface.
1:09:19
Speaker 16: Target now acknowledges the costume should have never been for sale, saying,
1:09:31
Speaker 16: Removing the costume is an important first step, and we
1:09:34
Speaker 16: are looking closely at how this happened.
1:09:36
Speaker 3: We're cutting up cars today.
1:09:38
Speaker 16: It comes one year after the company's controversial move to
1:09:41
Speaker 16: roll back its diversity, equity, and inclusion policies. which sparked
1:09:45
Speaker 16: protests and boycotts by shoppers.
1:09:48
Speaker 3: We need to hold larger corporations accountable.
1:09:52
Speaker 16: One Minneapolis area business leader claims this new costume controversy
1:09:56
Speaker 16: is an indirect result of Target's DEI decision last year, saying,
1:10:00
Speaker 16: you rolled back diversity, so who's in the room now
1:10:02
Speaker 16: to say, hey, this is wrong?
1:10:04
Speaker 3: That's right. That is right. Now, see, anytime we start
1:10:08
Speaker 3: talking about racism in America, people immediately run to the extremes. OK,
1:10:12
Speaker 3: people say, see, Target is racist. They don't care about us.
1:10:15
Speaker 3: They intentionally made a racist costume. I don't know. I
1:10:19
Speaker 3: doubt it. I don't think they would intentionally make a
1:10:21
Speaker 3: racist costume. But to me. That's not the argument. The
1:10:24
Speaker 3: question I would ask Target is this. How does an
1:10:27
Speaker 3: image carrying this much American racial history make it through
1:10:30
Speaker 3: a modern corporation's design, merchandising, photography, marketing, and approval process
1:10:37
Speaker 3: without somebody recognizing what it is? Okay, sounds to me, Target,
1:10:41
Speaker 3: like y'all need some DEI. All right, this is a
1:10:43
Speaker 3: perfect example of what people misunderstand about diversity. Sometimes diversity
1:10:48
Speaker 3: in a room isn't about political correctness and checking boxes
1:10:51
Speaker 3: it's simply about having somebody present who recognizes something the
1:10:54
Speaker 3: rest of the room clearly missed okay you wouldn't have
1:10:57
Speaker 3: to apologize after the fact target if you had people
1:11:00
Speaker 3: in the room who can recognize these blind spots in
1:11:03
Speaker 3: the first place okay one thing i've learned about corporate
1:11:05
Speaker 3: america is a lot of them just don't have a
1:11:08
Speaker 3: clue i mean just culturally clueless and sometimes something can
1:11:12
Speaker 3: be racially offensive without the person responsible waking up that
1:11:16
Speaker 3: morning saying you know what Let me disrespect these niggas today, okay?
1:11:20
Speaker 3: And that is what makes this Target situation interesting to me, okay?
1:11:23
Speaker 3: You got this children's Halloween costume called the Kids Glows.
1:11:26
Speaker 3: under black light circus clown. I don't even know what
1:11:29
Speaker 3: the hell that is.
1:11:30
Speaker 1: Okay.
1:11:30
Speaker 3: It's, it's modeled by a young black boy. He got
1:11:32
Speaker 3: the black gloves. He got the black face cover and
1:11:34
Speaker 3: he got the big exaggerated toothy grin, just showing all
1:11:37
Speaker 3: 32 of his teeth. He got the little hat on
1:11:40
Speaker 3: and he even, you know, got the, I was trying
1:11:43
Speaker 3: to run from massive, but got frozen in place.
1:11:45
Speaker 14: Post.
1:11:45
Speaker 1: Okay.
1:11:46
Speaker 3: Hard to say that wasn't intentional. Okay. Whoever designed this costume,
1:11:49
Speaker 3: whoever did this imagery had to be inspired by sample.
1:11:53
Speaker 1: Okay.
1:11:53
Speaker 3: They had to know the history of blackface fashion. in
1:11:56
Speaker 3: minstrel shows all right target pulled it they apologized they
1:11:59
Speaker 3: said they got it wrong they said the costume was
1:12:01
Speaker 3: offensive and it should have never been sold and that's
1:12:03
Speaker 3: the point but what i want to know is how
1:12:07
Speaker 3: did you get it this wrong this wasn't somebody selling
1:12:10
Speaker 3: costumes out the trunk of a nissan ultima this is
1:12:13
Speaker 3: target okay think about how many humans had to see
1:12:17
Speaker 3: this thing before it ended up online and in stores.
1:12:20
Speaker 3: As I said earlier, somebody designed it. Somebody had to
1:12:22
Speaker 3: approve the design. Somebody bought the inventory. Somebody had to
1:12:25
Speaker 3: select the model. Okay. Somebody styled the photo shoot. Somebody
1:12:28
Speaker 3: took the pictures. You know how people take the pictures
1:12:30
Speaker 3: and tell you to make those poses. Somebody looked at
1:12:32
Speaker 3: those pictures. Somebody approved those pictures. Somebody uploaded those pictures
1:12:36
Speaker 3: to a website. And apparently nobody anywhere in that process said,
1:12:40
Speaker 3: Hey man, this is going to piss black people off.
1:12:43
Speaker 3: Nobody said, does this black child look like he's dressed
1:12:47
Speaker 3: as a minstrel character? That's the conversation, because in this era,
1:12:51
Speaker 3: a lot of racism survives because nobody in the room
1:12:54
Speaker 3: recognizes the reference. And that's why knowing history matters. OK,
1:12:57
Speaker 3: blackface wasn't simply white people painting their faces black for laughs.
1:13:02
Speaker 3: Minstrel shows spent decades. Generations exaggerating black features in speech
1:13:06
Speaker 3: and movement and personality to portray black people in a
1:13:09
Speaker 3: certain way. They wanted us to look stupid and lazy
1:13:11
Speaker 3: and ridiculous and just naturally inferior, okay? Those images weren't
1:13:15
Speaker 3: harmless entertainment. They helped teach America how to look at
1:13:19
Speaker 3: black people and how to treat black people. And when
1:13:21
Speaker 3: an image has been used to degrade people for more
1:13:23
Speaker 3: than a century, you don't get to erase all that
1:13:26
Speaker 3: history simply by calling the character a circus clown, okay?
1:13:30
Speaker 3: That's the uncomfortable thing about symbols. You don't control... everything
1:13:33
Speaker 3: a symbol means just because you didn't know it's history
1:13:37
Speaker 3: a swastika isn't suddenly just a interesting geometric design because
1:13:42
Speaker 3: somebody skipped history class no no no no no no
1:13:45
Speaker 3: no now back to the diversity aspect Target, y'all need
1:13:49
Speaker 3: to know the Trump administration isn't going to be an
1:13:51
Speaker 3: office fellow. OK, it's time for y'all to have some
1:13:53
Speaker 3: balls and put diversity back on the front screen.
1:13:55
Speaker 1: All right.
1:13:56
Speaker 3: Diversity isn't about filling quotas. You can't just check the
1:13:59
Speaker 3: box and go home. You need diversity in the room
1:14:01
Speaker 3: for perspective. OK, you need people in the meeting saying,
1:14:05
Speaker 3: I know y'all don't see what I see, but let
1:14:06
Speaker 3: me explain why some people are going to see this
1:14:08
Speaker 3: differently and be offended by it. That's valuable, okay? And
1:14:12
Speaker 3: Target rolling back parts of its DEI commitments. I can't
1:14:16
Speaker 3: help but connect that to what happened here. Can I
1:14:19
Speaker 3: prove that eliminating DEI caused this costume to make it through? No,
1:14:23
Speaker 3: but I can say this is exactly the type of
1:14:25
Speaker 3: blind spot. diverse perspectives are supposed to help you catch.
1:14:29
Speaker 3: And I'll be the first to say the purpose of
1:14:31
Speaker 3: diversity isn't to guarantee that nobody ever gets offended because
1:14:34
Speaker 3: diverse groups can miss stuff too. But the purpose of
1:14:37
Speaker 3: diversity is to reduce the chances that an organization like
1:14:41
Speaker 3: target can look directly at something and collectively fail to
1:14:44
Speaker 3: see what millions of other people will recognize as soon
1:14:47
Speaker 3: as it hits the worldwide Negro net.
1:14:50
Speaker 1: Okay.
1:14:50
Speaker 3: Because the most dangerous ignorance isn't always what you don't know.
1:14:53
Speaker 3: Sometimes it's not knowing that, that you don't know now
1:14:58
Speaker 3: target says they're investigating i don't know what They need
1:15:01
Speaker 3: to investigate. Okay, but Target, I want to challenge you.
1:15:04
Speaker 3: I would like to challenge you, Target. Don't just find
1:15:06
Speaker 3: the employee, you know, who approved the costume and sacrificed
1:15:09
Speaker 3: them to social media. No, study the process. Study the room.
1:15:13
Speaker 3: Study who gets heard in the room. Study whose perspective
1:15:16
Speaker 3: is missing from said room. Because if 10 people looked
1:15:20
Speaker 3: at something and all 10 missed the same historical landmine,
1:15:25
Speaker 3: sometimes the problem isn't the 10 people. Sometimes the problem
1:15:29
Speaker 3: is is how you built the room. Please give Target
1:15:33
Speaker 3: the biggest CR. I don't know what y'all doing up there.
1:15:40
Speaker 17: Yo.
1:15:40
Speaker 7: Okay.
1:15:41
Speaker 10: You're culturally incompetent, too, if you think they ain't do
1:15:44
Speaker 10: this issue on purpose.
1:15:45
Speaker 3: Oh, I can't say that.
1:15:46
Speaker 2: Oh, no, they did.
1:15:47
Speaker 10: This was a scheme that a group of racist milk
1:15:49
Speaker 10: cricket crackerjacks sat in the room and they thought of.
1:15:52
Speaker 1: Maybe.
1:15:52
Speaker 8: Maybe.
1:15:53
Speaker 3: But I don't know that to be the case for sure.
1:15:55
Speaker 2: Like, how? It's deliberate, yo.
1:15:57
Speaker 10: You just literally, like, went through the whole description of it.
1:16:02
Speaker 10: They know exactly where it came from.
1:16:04
Speaker 3: I can't say that.
1:16:04
Speaker 2: Well, I can say it.
1:16:06
Speaker 3: I can only say it the way I just said it.
1:16:08
Speaker 3: So I'm not liable. Can't just be out here calling
1:16:12
Speaker 3: people that.
1:16:12
Speaker 2: It's on purpose. That's a group of racist people.
1:16:15
Speaker 3: I'm not mad at your opinion.
1:16:16
Speaker 2: Like, that's crazy.
1:16:18
Speaker 1: No.
1:16:18
Speaker 17: I don't know.
1:16:19
Speaker 2: I don't know.
1:16:20
Speaker 3: I don't know if they did it on purpose.
1:16:21
Speaker 2: They've never seen anything else look like that.
1:16:25
Speaker 3: Like, what?
1:16:26
Speaker 2: You see it and you instantly, as a black person,
1:16:29
Speaker 2: you're like, oh my God.
1:16:31
Speaker 8: Oh, 100%.
1:16:31
Speaker 2: Trauma triggering. Like, stop playing with me.
1:16:34
Speaker 3: That's why for me, the question is, how did y'all
1:16:37
Speaker 3: get it this wrong?
1:16:39
Speaker 2: The whole process.
1:16:40
Speaker 3: How did you get it this wrong? How did you
1:16:42
Speaker 3: miss that? Like, how does an image carrying this much
1:16:46
Speaker 3: American racial history make it through a modern corporation's design?
1:16:50
Speaker 6: You think that's what the investigation is, though? It's like
1:16:52
Speaker 6: at every tier, where are we missing the black people?
1:16:56
Speaker 6: Let's bring some back.
1:16:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, what is the investigation? What are we all doing
1:17:00
Speaker 2: in the room here?
1:17:00
Speaker 6: You said diversity isn't enough because sometimes, you know, people
1:17:05
Speaker 6: across the board can get it wrong. But I think
1:17:08
Speaker 6: you have to have people on the teams that are
1:17:10
Speaker 6: also empowered to feel like they can actually say.
1:17:11
Speaker 2: Something, too.
1:17:12
Speaker 3: Why wouldn't you say something? If they give you a title, right?
1:17:15
Speaker 3: If they give you a title and say, this is
1:17:16
Speaker 3: your job. Don't just sit there and let things go through.
1:17:19
Speaker 3: Your job is to speak up.
1:17:21
Speaker 2: That is great, but that does happen. There's a lot
1:17:23
Speaker 2: of us on these teams that are afraid.
1:17:25
Speaker 10: Of losing jobs, losing, you know, respect or value or whatever.
1:17:31
Speaker 2: Like, man, please.
1:17:31
Speaker 3: But that's why I said, that's why I said, even
1:17:35
Speaker 3: with the investigation, don't just investigate. Study the process. Study
1:17:38
Speaker 3: the room. Study who gets heard in the room. And
1:17:41
Speaker 3: study whose perspective is missing from the room.
1:17:44
Speaker 13: Yeah.
1:17:44
Speaker 3: Because if not, then you get situations like this. Y'all
1:17:48
Speaker 3: want to open up the phone lines of that?
1:17:50
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
1:17:50
Speaker 10: Because I'm so sick of, I'm sorry, we got it wrong.
1:17:53
Speaker 3: Let's open up the phone lines. Okay. 1-800-585-1051. Do you
1:17:58
Speaker 3: think Target was intentional with this costume? Do you think
1:18:02
Speaker 3: they intentionally wanted to piss black people off? Absolutely.
1:18:06
Speaker 2: I do.
1:18:07
Speaker 3: Well, let's discuss.
1:18:08
Speaker 2: I do.
1:18:08
Speaker 3: It's The Breakfast Club. It's Topic Time.
1:18:12
Speaker 1: Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The
1:18:16
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club.
1:18:22
Speaker 3: All right, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The
1:18:24
Speaker 3: Breakfast Club. DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God, Lauren
1:18:27
Speaker 3: LaRosa is here as well. Oh, there you go. You
1:18:29
Speaker 3: finally decided to join us. You went to the Colored
1:18:31
Speaker 3: Water Fountain?
1:18:32
Speaker 8: Oh!
1:18:32
Speaker 3: The Colored Water Fountain is all the way over there.
1:18:36
Speaker 3: You could have drank right there at the White Zone.
1:18:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, right. I got a brown soda. That's what I got.
1:18:41
Speaker 3: But I just gave Donkey of the Day to Target.
1:18:44
Speaker 3: If you haven't heard, Target is in yet another controversy
1:18:47
Speaker 3: because they put out a children's class costume that a
1:18:51
Speaker 3: lot of people are saying looks a lot like black
1:18:53
Speaker 3: imagery from minstrel shows, which it absolutely positively does. They
1:18:57
Speaker 3: already pulled it. They apologized. And I don't know. you know,
1:19:03
Speaker 3: if they were intentionally trying to be racist. But the
1:19:06
Speaker 3: question I have is, how does an image carrying this
1:19:10
Speaker 3: much American racial history make it through a modern corporation's design?
1:19:15
Speaker 3: There's too many checks and balances that go from this
1:19:19
Speaker 3: idea happening, photo shoot happening, to it being uploaded online for,
1:19:24
Speaker 3: you know, people not to say it's intentional. So Jess
1:19:26
Speaker 3: thinks it's intentional. Absolutely, I do. I don't disagree with
1:19:29
Speaker 3: that because I don't know how this happens.
1:19:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, like you said, it just goes through
1:19:34
Speaker 2: too many.
1:19:35
Speaker 3: Checks and balances.
1:19:36
Speaker 2: Checks and balances for somebody to not... And then who.
1:19:39
Speaker 10: who is buying this for their kids? Like who's buying,
1:19:42
Speaker 10: like who bought it? Who is buying it? I know,
1:19:44
Speaker 10: I know damn well it ain't the white, the white
1:19:46
Speaker 10: family is buying it.
1:19:47
Speaker 2: For their children.
1:19:48
Speaker 6: Do y'all think every black person looked at that and
1:19:49
Speaker 6: instantly thought about this?
1:19:51
Speaker 3: If you know history, yes.
1:19:53
Speaker 2: White people looked at it and knew what the F
1:19:55
Speaker 2: it was too, Lauren.
1:19:56
Speaker 6: I don't, I don't think, I think without context, there
1:19:59
Speaker 6: are some black people that would have looked at that
1:20:00
Speaker 6: younger that would have looked at that and might not
1:20:02
Speaker 6: have even.
1:20:02
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
1:20:02
Speaker 2: Now, now younger. Absolutely. I don't negate that. Absolutely. But like,
1:20:08
Speaker 2: come on. Come on. How do they even get in stores?
1:20:12
Speaker 2: How does somebody approve that?
1:20:14
Speaker 10: How many approvals? You know how many approvals they had
1:20:16
Speaker 10: to go through to even get to the store? What
1:20:18
Speaker 10: does the Target executive board, not executive board, but what.
1:20:21
Speaker 1: Does that look like?
1:20:22
Speaker 10: What would it be? That does not make sense to me.
1:20:26
Speaker 3: When you see Target roll back all these DEI initiatives,
1:20:29
Speaker 3: you're asking yourself, well, who the hell is in the room?
1:20:31
Speaker 3: You know what I mean? Like I said during Donkey
1:20:32
Speaker 3: of the Day, this is what people misunderstand about diversity.
1:20:35
Speaker 3: Diversity isn't you know checking boxes it's about having people
1:20:39
Speaker 3: present who recognize a lot of things that the room
1:20:42
Speaker 3: will clearly miss you know and this is one of
1:20:44
Speaker 3: those things that the room either clearly missed our goddamn
1:20:48
Speaker 3: target boy y'all got some explaining to.
1:20:49
Speaker 10: Do man i don't i'm telling you where would they
1:20:54
Speaker 10: get the design from like where even even before it
1:20:57
Speaker 10: gets to print Who saw this and was like, you
1:21:00
Speaker 10: know what?
1:21:00
Speaker 2: This would be a great.
1:21:01
Speaker 6: Halloween costume for little kids. Unless it's something that Target
1:21:05
Speaker 6: is creating themselves. You have buyers that go and buy it.
1:21:07
Speaker 6: And then they bring it. And then it should be checked.
1:21:10
Speaker 6: And then the photo shoots. And then it goes through
1:21:11
Speaker 6: all of the imaging before it hits the website. That's
1:21:14
Speaker 6: typically how it goes. y'all both said who was in
1:21:17
Speaker 6: the room.
1:21:17
Speaker 10: And then you were saying something a few minutes ago about, um,
1:21:21
Speaker 10: even if there are black people in a room, you know,
1:21:24
Speaker 10: some of us in a room, sometimes they're so afraid
1:21:27
Speaker 10: to speak up or they won't, you know, but it's
1:21:29
Speaker 10: their job to.
1:21:30
Speaker 3: Say something like, but it should be some white people
1:21:32
Speaker 3: in the room too. That'd be like, exactly. We don't
1:21:34
Speaker 3: need all this black lash. That's going to come from
1:21:36
Speaker 3: putting out this imagery that people are going to say
1:21:38
Speaker 3: are like, uh, menstrual shows. And that's why, you know,
1:21:41
Speaker 3: I completely understand what Jess is saying. And it's hard
1:21:43
Speaker 3: not to say that because, But I just don't think
1:21:45
Speaker 3: a corporation, a whole organization would intentionally make a racist costume.
1:21:51
Speaker 3: I think it's some people in the organization who would.
1:21:54
Speaker 1: Yes.
1:21:55
Speaker 3: But I don't think the whole organization would. That's why
1:21:57
Speaker 3: I think this apology was quick. And I think they
1:21:59
Speaker 3: pulled it quick. You know what I mean? But once again.
1:22:01
Speaker 3: How does an image carrying this much racial history, American
1:22:05
Speaker 3: racial history, make it through a modern corporation's design? I
1:22:09
Speaker 3: don't know.
1:22:10
Speaker 2: I swear I.
1:22:10
Speaker 10: Think the only reason that we got an apology is
1:22:12
Speaker 10: because they know that money is.
1:22:14
Speaker 2: About to be a dip in that bread. I'm looking
1:22:16
Speaker 2: at them. Let's just keep it.
1:22:18
Speaker 3: A buck for real.
1:22:19
Speaker 10: Who do you see in Target? Who is the big
1:22:23
Speaker 10: money spenders in Target?
1:22:25
Speaker 8: Us.
1:22:25
Speaker 1: I don't know.
1:22:25
Speaker 3: I haven't been there in a while.
1:22:26
Speaker 1: Have you?
1:22:27
Speaker 2: I'm just saying us. People still.
1:22:28
Speaker 3: You was there a couple days ago, right?
1:22:30
Speaker 2: Yo, come on, yo. He trying to get the boy out.
1:22:33
Speaker 1: People are still at Target.
1:22:35
Speaker 3: I did not have to.
1:22:36
Speaker 2: Go to Target to be married.
1:22:37
Speaker 3: I'm not going to party, yo.
1:22:38
Speaker 2: Chill. You don't go to Target no more? No, I
1:22:41
Speaker 2: don't ever have to go in the store. I order everything.
1:22:43
Speaker 2: And we know where everybody order from. But no, I
1:22:45
Speaker 2: don't order from Target, yo. Relax.
1:22:48
Speaker 1: Good morning. Who's this?
1:22:49
Speaker 7: Gus.
1:22:50
Speaker 1: Gus Wright.
1:22:50
Speaker 2: Good morning.
1:22:51
Speaker 3: Damn, I ain't heard of Gus in a long time.
1:22:52
Speaker 3: I thought they stopped the name.
1:22:54
Speaker 1: Gus in the 80s.
1:22:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's because you ain't been to Savannah long enough.
1:22:56
Speaker 2: You're right.
1:22:56
Speaker 1: What up, Gus?
1:22:57
Speaker 3: How are you, my brother? Hey, I'm doing good.
1:23:00
Speaker 13: I live in the DMV now because I just retired
1:23:02
Speaker 13: out of the Army. But I think those guys just
1:23:05
Speaker 13: got it wrong out of plain ignorance. You know, following
1:23:08
Speaker 13: somebody blindly who's driven by hatred and ignorance.
1:23:11
Speaker 3: You need the right people in the room if.
1:23:12
Speaker 5: You're going to be able to do things that you're
1:23:14
Speaker 5: just not adept at doing because you're walking life.
1:23:17
Speaker 1: Absolutely.
1:23:18
Speaker 3: I mean, listen, it is very hard for me to
1:23:20
Speaker 3: say a company as big as Target would intentionally do
1:23:24
Speaker 3: something like this. I mean, the pulling of the costume
1:23:27
Speaker 3: and the apology lets me know that. But I do
1:23:30
Speaker 3: have to ask, how does a company that big get
1:23:33
Speaker 3: it this wrong? You know, yet again, by the way.
1:23:36
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's one.
1:23:38
Speaker 5: Of them things, man, because, you know, my time in
1:23:41
Speaker 5: the service. Folks are like, man, how can you be
1:23:43
Speaker 5: so calm? You know, it's fiscal constraints.
1:23:45
Speaker 1: I grew up broke.
1:23:45
Speaker 5: Word on it. It ain't nothing to me to be
1:23:49
Speaker 5: able to make do.
1:23:51
Speaker 7: That's how I became an engineer.
1:23:52
Speaker 3: That's right. Thank you for calling, Gus.
1:23:57
Speaker 1: Good morning.
1:23:58
Speaker 3: Who's this?
1:23:59
Speaker 9: Good morning. This is Carrie Lynn. I live in Florida,
1:24:02
Speaker 9: but I'm originally from Jersey.
1:24:05
Speaker 3: Hey, what up, Carrie Lynn? Listen, do you think Target,
1:24:10
Speaker 3: do you think this was intentional? This costume?
1:24:12
Speaker 2: I really do.
1:24:13
Speaker 9: Because at the end of the day, it doesn't matter
1:24:16
Speaker 9: what generation you're from, whether if you're older generation or
1:24:20
Speaker 9: newer generation, all these movies out.
1:24:23
Speaker 14: Here, like even spoofs, Different world. We all covered that.
1:24:29
Speaker 8: Mm-hmm.
1:24:29
Speaker 9: So at the end of the day, when you thought
1:24:31
Speaker 9: of this costume, you already had this idea because you've
1:24:35
Speaker 9: seen it before.
1:24:36
Speaker 2: Right.
1:24:37
Speaker 9: And I don't know if they did.
1:24:38
Speaker 7: It for the giggles or for the culture.
1:24:41
Speaker 9: Nah, that's a no-go.
1:24:42
Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
1:24:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, listen, once again, it's hard to say
1:24:45
Speaker 3: that this wasn't intentional by somebody. You know, I can't
1:24:50
Speaker 3: put it on a whole company, a whole organization, but
1:24:53
Speaker 3: whoever designed this costume, whoever did this imagery, they had
1:24:56
Speaker 3: to be inspired by Stan Boyle. Like, you had to
1:24:58
Speaker 3: know the history of blackface and minstrel shows that put
1:25:01
Speaker 3: this whole photo shoot together.
1:25:03
Speaker 1: Exactly.
1:25:03
Speaker 10: We have shows, current, past shows, like, There's references of
1:25:08
Speaker 10: this everywhere.
1:25:09
Speaker 3: He was hitting the I'm running from Matthew.
1:25:12
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly.
1:25:12
Speaker 2: It was the pose. Exactly. The pose is crazy.
1:25:15
Speaker 3: Exactly.
1:25:16
Speaker 1: Good morning. Who's this? This is Tasha.
1:25:18
Speaker 2: Hey, Tasha.
1:25:19
Speaker 3: How are you?
1:25:20
Speaker 15: I'm doing good.
1:25:21
Speaker 12: How are you this morning?
1:25:22
Speaker 3: Bless black and holly favor. Where you calling from?
1:25:24
Speaker 15: From Houston, Texas.
1:25:25
Speaker 7: Okay.
1:25:27
Speaker 3: Do you think Target was being intentionally racist with this costume?
1:25:30
Speaker 15: I do, and I'm with Jess. I feel like we
1:25:33
Speaker 15: need to stop letting Target play in our face.
1:25:35
Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
1:25:36
Speaker 15: They keep doing stuff and then come with an apology
1:25:39
Speaker 15: and we come running back to their stores. They mean this.
1:25:44
Speaker 15: They have people in the room that are intentionally doing
1:25:47
Speaker 15: this stuff and then they know an apology will fix
1:25:50
Speaker 15: it and we'll come back.
1:25:51
Speaker 7: We've got to stop coming back to those stores.
1:25:53
Speaker 10: We'll stay out of Target for what? Three, four weeks
1:25:56
Speaker 10: at most and then we back in there.
1:25:57
Speaker 2: Not as a collective. We ain't even got that that
1:25:59
Speaker 2: I feel like.
1:26:00
Speaker 6: The Target boycott hasn't even been as strong as a
1:26:02
Speaker 6: collective as it should be if this is how it feels.
1:26:04
Speaker 3: The problem with the Target boycott, there was never no
1:26:06
Speaker 3: concessions made. And that's what needs to happen. Like Target
1:26:09
Speaker 3: needs to make some concessions, you know, to the black community. And,
1:26:12
Speaker 3: you know, they need to, you know, have more diversity.
1:26:15
Speaker 10: Mm-hmm.
1:26:15
Speaker 3: In target to reduce the chances that an entire organization
1:26:19
Speaker 3: can look at something like this and be like yeah
1:26:21
Speaker 3: put that through you know what i mean and then
1:26:23
Speaker 3: somebody catch it after the fact and pull it and
1:26:25
Speaker 3: then apologize um 1-800-585-1051 is target intentionally playing in our
1:26:31
Speaker 3: face let's talk about it oh shoot i'm sorry Well,
1:26:35
Speaker 3: they just told us you don't have... That means that
1:26:37
Speaker 3: Target must be a sponsor and they don't want us
1:26:39
Speaker 3: to talk about it.
1:26:40
Speaker 2: Hey, yo, that is not what that means. Shut up.
1:26:42

1:28:02
Speaker 6: number 17 on the Billboard chart. It's her first solo
1:28:05
Speaker 6: top 40 hit. It even surpassed City Girls' Act Up
1:28:09
Speaker 6: as the highest charting release of her career.
1:28:12
Speaker 2: So it's a big song for her, right?
1:28:14
Speaker 7: Wow.

1:28:20
Speaker 2: I'm like, yo, shut up. Yo, act up. No, act
1:28:23
Speaker 2: up is pinnacle. That was the anthem.
1:28:25
Speaker 3: I love act up. But you can tell act up
1:28:27
Speaker 3: ain't as big as spin that. I can lick my
1:28:30
Speaker 3: finger and hold it up in the air and know
1:28:31
Speaker 3: that act up.
1:28:32
Speaker 1: Really?
1:28:33
Speaker 13: What?
1:28:33
Speaker 2: Cut it out, yo. No, act up, though.
1:28:35
Speaker 10: It's because spin that is happening right now. But when
1:28:38
Speaker 10: act up was out, we was out. standing on wow
1:28:42
Speaker 10: okay well all right well okay so i said all
1:28:47
Speaker 10: that to say she's about to drop the remix and
1:28:49
Speaker 10: she has been teasing you know who is going to
1:28:52
Speaker 10: be on the remix who's not going to be in
1:28:53
Speaker 10: the remix um.
1:28:56
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:28:56
Speaker 6: So yesterday, she posted to her Instagram, and I printed
1:29:00
Speaker 6: out the photo for you guys.
1:29:01
Speaker 2: Some Goyard bag tags. Oh, that's what this is?
1:29:04
Speaker 3: Yes.
1:29:04
Speaker 6: These are tags that when you buy the Goyard luggage
1:29:07
Speaker 6: travel or even just your little bag.
1:29:09
Speaker 2: I like this. A little bag tag, right?
1:29:10
Speaker 15: Yeah.
1:29:11
Speaker 6: So these are supposed to be clues because Young Miami
1:29:13
Speaker 6: said in another Instagram post this week that she has
1:29:15
Speaker 6: two of the biggest spenders on.
1:29:17
Speaker 2: Spin that. So 305, I'm assuming, would be her in
1:29:21
Speaker 2: the pink.
1:29:22
Speaker 6: Now we have a green Goyard bag tag with a
1:29:24
Speaker 6: ski mask or a pooch-icey.
1:29:26
Speaker 2: Can I guess? Yes, you can. And a blue one
1:29:28
Speaker 2: with a diamond. So who do you got? Let's take
1:29:29
Speaker 2: a guess. Who do y'all think is going to be
1:29:30
Speaker 2: on the pink? Kodak Black. Because of the mask? Because
1:29:34
Speaker 2: of the shicey, yeah.
1:29:35
Speaker 1: Okay.
1:29:35
Speaker 2: And then he's from Florida. He's from right there in
1:29:37
Speaker 2: Broward County, I think, right? I don't know. I don't
1:29:40
Speaker 2: know where in Florida he's from. He's from.
1:29:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're from Miami.
1:29:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're from Miami. Yeah, that's what I thought. But
1:29:45
Speaker 2: what about the diamond in the blue?
1:29:47
Speaker 3: Trina. Oh.
1:29:49
Speaker 2: Diamond Princess.
1:29:51
Speaker 4: Oh, okay.
1:29:52
Speaker 10: Well, people think that I saw Trina. She a big spender?
1:29:56
Speaker 1: Yeah.
1:29:56
Speaker 7: Okay.
1:29:56
Speaker 2: You never saw that video where Trina be like, I'm
1:29:58
Speaker 2: not worried about the ballers. I got my own.
1:29:59
Speaker 14: Yeah.
1:29:59
Speaker 2: No idea. Big, big baller. But yeah, so people think Trina.
1:30:03
Speaker 6: I saw some people, of course, saying Drake again because
1:30:06
Speaker 6: Young Miami mentioned that she.
1:30:07
Speaker 2: Wanted to get Drake on the record. He's a big spender.
1:30:09
Speaker 2: He's a big spender.
1:30:10
Speaker 9: Yes.
1:30:11
Speaker 6: He's also having a really big streaming year. I saw
1:30:13
Speaker 6: that he's having one of the biggest streaming years in hip-hop.
1:30:15
Speaker 6: I saw Complex do that story yesterday, so that would
1:30:17
Speaker 6: be a good look for the song.
1:30:19
Speaker 3: Which one of these things would symbolize him?
1:30:21
Speaker 2: I would say maybe the blue with the ice.
1:30:24
Speaker 3: But the blue with the ice?
1:30:24
Speaker 2: I mean, the blue with the diamond. The diamond could
1:30:26
Speaker 2: be Ice.
1:30:27
Speaker 16: Iceman.
1:30:27
Speaker 2: Iceman.
1:30:28
Speaker 7: No?
1:30:30
Speaker 3: Nah, Iceman is the gay Marvel superhero.
1:30:32
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:30:34
Speaker 1: Bobby Drake. Lord.
1:30:35
Speaker 2: Oh, so Santana.
1:30:37
Speaker 3: Santana?
1:30:38
Speaker 2: Because you said the gay, um, is the gay superhero?
1:30:43
Speaker 3: Let me make sure this is a scheme ask and
1:30:46
Speaker 3: not an open butthole.
1:30:47
Speaker 2: Oh, gosh. Who is it? We don't know yet. It's
1:30:51
Speaker 2: a tease. She hasn't told us yet.
1:30:54
Speaker 3: Man, if she don't even drop that damn record.
1:30:55
Speaker 2: I want her to drop it so bad. I want
1:30:57
Speaker 2: her to drop it so bad. I thought it was Kodak. Yeah.
1:31:00
Speaker 2: But I would love to see Yak. I mean, I
1:31:02
Speaker 2: would love to hear Yak on Spinette.
1:31:03
Speaker 3: Me too.
1:31:04
Speaker 6: I would as well, too. But we'll have to wait
1:31:06
Speaker 6: and see. When the remix drops, we'll be back here
1:31:08
Speaker 6: to let you guys know.
1:31:08
Speaker 10: And y'all will hear, but, you know, we'll be talking
1:31:10
Speaker 10: about who was on it. And you know Kodak love
1:31:12
Speaker 10: him some Carisha Brown. You know, that's what he was
1:31:15
Speaker 10: calling her at one point.
1:31:16
Speaker 17: Yes.
1:31:17
Speaker 2: Now shifting gears a bit, Issa Rae.

Speaker 6: So yesterday it was announced that Issa Rae is returning

Speaker 3: I was like, what?
1:31:40
Speaker 6: From the perspective of men, because it's a male friendship series.
1:31:44
Speaker 6: So it's focused on a character named Menzel. He's a
1:31:47
Speaker 6: 30-year-old barber. He's aspiring to be a sports manager. And
1:31:50
Speaker 6: then his best friend, JB, is an up-and-coming boxer. So
1:31:53
Speaker 6: they navigate ambition, insecurity, loneliness, the whole double-edged sword of
1:31:57
Speaker 6: success within a high-stakes world of boxing in Vegas, which
1:32:00
Speaker 6: is kind of like a guy take on what Insecure was.
1:32:03
Speaker 6: Because you had Molly, you had Issa, and they were
1:32:06
Speaker 6: trying to figure out all of these... I'm successful.
1:32:09
Speaker 2: I'm dating.
1:32:10
Speaker 6: I'm trying to figure out family. So people are excited
1:32:12
Speaker 6: that she's returning with another show.
1:32:13
Speaker 2: Shout out to Issa Rae to HBO.
1:32:15
Speaker 3: I know she signed a deal with Paramount earlier this year, right?
1:32:20
Speaker 17: Yeah.
1:32:20
Speaker 3: And she's still in that deal. So, I think. So,
1:32:23
Speaker 3: for her to be doing something with HBO, I like
1:32:25
Speaker 3: seeing people get money everywhere.
1:32:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, same.
1:32:27
Speaker 3: So, that's one of the clues, Bob, for Issa Rae.
1:32:28
Speaker 2: Same.
1:32:30
Speaker 3: Issa's a great person, too. I don't know if Issa
1:32:33
Speaker 3: Rae gets enough credit for just how good of a
1:32:35
Speaker 3: human that she is. Issa does a lot of things
1:32:38
Speaker 3: for a lot of people and... doesn't ask for no
1:32:42
Speaker 3: credit for it in no way shape shape or form
1:32:45
Speaker 3: and i've seen her i judge people based on how
1:32:47
Speaker 3: they treat people that can't do nothing for them i've
1:32:49
Speaker 3: seen her do a lot for a lot of people
1:32:51
Speaker 3: that can't do anything for her because she's isa ray
1:32:53
Speaker 3: so salute to isa.
1:32:55
Speaker 6: Yo i love that i love hearing uh good people
1:32:57
Speaker 6: get good things coming she's a great human Well, in
1:33:00
Speaker 6: other news, speaking of good people and people getting things
1:33:03
Speaker 6: coming their way, it was announced yesterday that Lauren London
1:33:06
Speaker 6: is set to play Snoop Dogg's mom, Miss Beverly Tate,
1:33:09
Speaker 6: in the upcoming Snoop Dogg biopic.
1:33:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, this according to Deadline.
1:33:13
Speaker 6: So we have been talking a lot about the fact
1:33:15
Speaker 6: that the Snoop Dogg biopic, biopic, biopic, you said it
1:33:18
Speaker 6: right the first time. Biopic is coming in August of 2027.
1:33:21
Speaker 6: It'll be here August 6th. But yeah, Lauren London was
1:33:24
Speaker 6: announced yesterday as his mom, which I.
1:33:26
Speaker 10: Was confused because I'm like, I don't think of her
1:33:28
Speaker 10: as like, to play an older woman.
1:33:31
Speaker 2: It must be when Snoop is going to be young, young, young.
1:33:33
Speaker 3: Who says she's playing an older woman?
1:33:35
Speaker 6: Because the Snoop Dogg that we saw, well, the only
1:33:37
Speaker 6: person that we saw announced that Snoop Dogg.
1:33:39
Speaker 3: It's a biopic, Lauren.
1:33:40
Speaker 1: I know, but.
1:33:41
Speaker 10: So it's going to probably show him in different eras,
1:33:43
Speaker 10: and she could be giving him birth.
1:33:45
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
1:33:45
Speaker 3: How old you thought Lea Long was supposed to be
1:33:47
Speaker 3: when Michael was in the Jackpot?
1:33:48
Speaker 2: I literally thought about that. What the hell are you
1:33:49
Speaker 2: talking about? But even still, Lea Long is still older
1:33:51
Speaker 2: than Lauren. Yeah, and they made her... They made her.
1:33:54
Speaker 3: She got to be like 38, 39.
1:33:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, she not five. I guarantee you she probably not
1:34:01
Speaker 2: 40 yet. Yeah.
1:34:02
Speaker 1: You know.
1:34:02
Speaker 3: She's 41.
1:34:04
Speaker 2: Wow. I don't know, for real. But she look way,
1:34:06
Speaker 2: way younger. She does. But this is the thing. It
1:34:07
Speaker 2: would depend on the part of his life. Right, right, right.
1:34:09
Speaker 1: Yes, yes.
1:34:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, in the beginning.
1:34:10
Speaker 6: Now, you couldn't do a Snoop story without talking about Tupac.
1:34:14
Speaker 6: So yesterday it was also revealed that Cameron Jones is
1:34:18
Speaker 6: slated to play Tupac.
1:34:20
Speaker 2: Boy, they be letting anybody play my man. Cameron Jones.
1:34:24
Speaker 10: I printed out a photo for you too as well, Charlamagne.
1:34:27
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean. What do you mean, you mean?
1:34:30
Speaker 2: What you mean, Lauren?
1:34:31
Speaker 10: If you throw a bandana on him and, you know,
1:34:34
Speaker 10: you give him, like, the leather vest and the chain
1:34:37
Speaker 10: and the thug life.
1:34:37
Speaker 2: He would look like YG. He would not look like T-Pac.
1:34:40
Speaker 2: Stop playing. But he might be Lauren. He might prove
1:34:43
Speaker 2: me wrong.
1:34:45
Speaker 3: I can see what he could be from the Pac tribe. But,
1:34:47
Speaker 3: I mean, it's about capturing the essence and the spirit
1:34:49
Speaker 3: of Pac. You know, you don't got to look like him.
1:34:53
Speaker 2: I guess. I mean, it would be better. He look
1:34:55
Speaker 2: like a young Omar Epps.
1:34:56
Speaker 3: In here here's the thing man once anthony mackie played
1:34:59
Speaker 3: pock all bets off it don't even.
1:35:01
Speaker 2: Matter i don't think pock had to introduce himself in
1:35:05
Speaker 2: that moment anthony.
1:35:06
Speaker 3: Mackie as tupac or flex as michael jackson.
1:35:17
Speaker 17: Flex.
1:35:18
Speaker 2: Nah, y'all like your own Flex.
1:35:20
Speaker 1: Stop playing with Flex.
1:35:21
Speaker 10: I love Flex, but that Michael Jackson was, that Michael
1:35:24
Speaker 10: Jackson was the craziest thing I've ever experienced. And I
1:35:28
Speaker 10: was young watching that. During that movie, Michael Jackson was alive.
1:35:33
Speaker 10: So imagine what he felt watching it.
1:35:35
Speaker 3: God damn. This what y'all think of me?
1:35:37
Speaker 2: Exactly.
1:35:38
Speaker 6: All right, y'all. That's the latest for the hour.
1:35:40
Speaker 10: And I do want to mention Young Miami Spinner is
1:35:43
Speaker 10: back at 27 now on the Billboard Hot 100.
1:35:44
Speaker 6: I just want to correct myself. But still up there, though.
1:35:48
Speaker 6: Congratulations to her. But that was the latest with Lauren
1:35:50
Speaker 6: La Rosa for the hour. And it's brought to you
1:35:52

1:36:06

Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Happy birthday to Mother Teresa. She would
1:36:14
Speaker 2: have been 116. No, the hell she wouldn't have been.
1:36:17
Speaker 1: Shut up.

1:38:14
Speaker 3: In real life.
1:38:15
Speaker 2: He's such a great person.
1:38:16
Speaker 11: I'm trying to figure out how.
1:38:17
Speaker 2: Y'all met on MySpace?
1:38:18
Speaker 3: Met on MySpace way back in the day. We used
1:38:20
Speaker 3: to write for... Both of us used to write for
1:38:22
Speaker 3: Ozone Magazine. Duvall had a segment called... I think it
1:38:25
Speaker 3: was called Who I'm Hating On and mine was called
1:38:27
Speaker 3: The Chin Check. hmm And I used to do sketch,
1:38:31
Speaker 3: I used to do sketch and sketch, sketch and sketches.
1:38:34
Speaker 3: And he used to, what am I saying?
1:38:36
Speaker 1: I used to do sketch and sketches.
1:38:37
Speaker 3: And he used to do sketch and sketches. And so
1:38:39
Speaker 3: we just came together and started doing sketch and sketches together.
1:38:42
Speaker 2: Turn your ass up.
1:38:44
Speaker 3: We had a web series called Hood State of the Union.
1:38:48
Speaker 3: Way before people were doing this podcast stuff and all
1:38:51
Speaker 3: of that. We had a whole web series that we
1:38:53
Speaker 3: was putting on YouTube. And then both of us ended
1:38:55
Speaker 3: up getting signed to MTV because of that.
1:38:59
Speaker 2: See he was ahead of his time with a lot
1:39:01
Speaker 2: of stuff but some people I can.

1:39:12
Speaker 10: tell who he really really really eff with also you
1:39:15

Speaker 8: Tower.
1:39:29
Speaker 3: There is never any need to get worked up or
1:39:32
Speaker 3: to trouble your soul about things you can't control. Okay,
1:39:35
Speaker 3: save your energy. Stop judging.
1:39:37
Speaker 1: Let it go.
1:39:38
Speaker 3: Do not waste your time or worry on events you
1:39:40
Speaker 3: cannot change. External events do not demand our approval or anger.
1:39:44
Speaker 3: Ignore things outside of your influence instead of fighting them.
1:39:47
Speaker 3: That is a great quote from Marcus Aurelius. Okay, you
1:39:50
