- 3:54Speaker 11: What's going on?
- 3:55Speaker 12: Yeah?
- 3:55Speaker 10: The Secret Service open fire you soday. I don't know
- 3:57Speaker 10: if you guys saw that all over the news.
- 3:59Speaker 11: Listen to the report.
- 4:01Speaker 13: The Secret Service agent opened fire last night after encountering
- 4:04Speaker 13: three people who are allegedly trying to break into an
- 4:07Speaker 13: unmarked Secret Service vehicle in Washington. Source to say this
- 4:11Speaker 13: agent is assigned to protect President Biden's granddaughter Naomi, who.
- 4:16Speaker 12: Was not with the agent when the incident occurred.
- 4:18Speaker 13: A spokesperson for the Secret Services, no one was struck
- 4:22Speaker 13: and the alleged offenders fled the scene.
- 4:25Speaker 9: Oh, the Secret Service did their job. I didn't know
- 4:26Speaker 9: they could open fire just for, you know, somebody trying
- 4:28Speaker 9: to break into a car, break it.
- 4:30Speaker 2: To a car. That's what I was going to ask.
- 4:31Speaker 5: But not only that.
- 4:31Speaker 8: Secret Service supposed to be like the best shooters out there.
- 4:34Speaker 8: So the fact that there was three of them and
- 4:36Speaker 8: nobody got hit kind of concerns me a little bit too.
- 4:38Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 4:39Speaker 11: I thought of that too. He I was like, it
- 4:40Speaker 11: seemed like they would have.
- 4:41Speaker 2: Hit somebody, especially what maybe they wasn't trying to hit him.
- 4:45Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 4:46Speaker 11: Well, the three people are still flaeing in a red car.
- 4:48Speaker 10: And just to give you some additional facts, Washington has
- 4:51Speaker 10: seen a significant rise in carjackings and car thefts just
- 4:54Speaker 10: this year long. Police have reported seven hundred and fifty
- 4:57Speaker 10: car jackings this year. More than six thousand reports are
- 5:00Speaker 10: stolen vehicles. So this is a real issue. They've also
- 5:03Speaker 10: had some previously some representatives who also you know, have
- 5:08Speaker 10: had their cars broken into by armed assailants.
- 5:11Speaker 12: You know.
- 5:11Speaker 10: But it's a lot going on in Washington. They said
- 5:14Speaker 10: the rise of crime has been up more than forty
- 5:16Speaker 10: percent just this year long.
- 5:17Speaker 9: So who investigates the secret Service because the story doesn't
- 5:22Speaker 9: quite sound right, like, you know, it feels like it
- 5:26Speaker 9: would require just a little bit more peeking behind the
- 5:28Speaker 9: curtain just to see what actually happened in this situation,
- 5:31Speaker 9: you know what I mean. Somebody trying to break into
- 5:32Speaker 9: a car, y'all decide to shoot, nobody gets hit, and the.
- 5:36Speaker 2: People get away.
- 5:37Speaker 9: It's a little a little bit of an investigation, a
- 5:42Speaker 9: little bit concerned a little bit.
- 5:43Speaker 2: Let's just see if this just holds up.
- 5:45Speaker 10: That's all that's all they did say they are investigating,
- 5:48Speaker 10: but like you said, who is investigating them?
- 5:50Speaker 11: And then who's investigating the investigators?
- 5:52Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, when they say they'd be investigated, who's investigating?
- 5:57Speaker 11: Right, Well, it just says authorities. Authorities are that.
- 6:01Speaker 2: That just means they're investigating who did the robbery? Who
- 6:05Speaker 2: is a red car? That's what they're looking at.
- 6:06Speaker 9: And then when they say protecting Biden's granddaughter, granddaughter, but
- 6:09Speaker 9: the granddaughter wasn't there.
- 6:10Speaker 2: Right, that's what say, So why would you open fire
- 6:12Speaker 2: unless they were open firing on you?
- 6:14Speaker 9: This is why you gotta have an investigation. The's one
- 6:16Speaker 9: of them stories that if I was to tell it,
- 6:18Speaker 9: people wouldn't be holding it, you know, saying.
- 6:19Speaker 2: People be asking questions.
- 6:21Speaker 8: That's how I feel when I heard When I heard it,
- 6:23Speaker 8: I just feel like Secret Service they're trained, you know,
- 6:25Speaker 8: supposed to be the elite, and if they're shooting, they
- 6:28Speaker 8: should be hitting the target. And this is why it's
- 6:30Speaker 8: important to read too, because you see the headline, right,
- 6:32Speaker 8: this headline is secret Service agent protecting Biden's granddaughter opens fire.
- 6:38Speaker 8: But y'all telling me that the granddaughter wasn't even she wasn't.
- 6:40Speaker 2: It was just a call.
- 6:41Speaker 9: They just was trying to break into the car. But
- 6:43Speaker 9: all of these headlines make it seem like they were
- 6:44Speaker 9: protecting the granddaughter. The granddaughter was there in the moments.
- 6:47Speaker 9: They were really.
- 6:47Speaker 2: Protecting the Ford Explorer or whatever type of car it was.
- 6:51Speaker 10: Maybe they thought, maybe they would they could do something
- 6:53Speaker 10: to this floor. I don't know, put put something in
- 6:55Speaker 10: the bomb.
- 6:56Speaker 11: I mean, I don't know.
- 6:57Speaker 5: I got this.
- 6:58Speaker 2: I need, I need, I need a more thoroughly instigation.
- 7:01Speaker 10: Well, hopefully, hopefully the Metropolitan Police Department can use some information,
- 7:05Speaker 10: because that's what they said they're doing. They are investigating,
- 7:07Speaker 10: and the facts and evidence in the case would be
- 7:09Speaker 10: independently reviewed by the United States Attorney's Office.
- 7:13Speaker 11: So we'll see how they work out. They couldn't find
- 7:15Speaker 11: crack in the White House, so I don't know.
- 7:16Speaker 2: Hold on now, I'm looking at it now.
- 7:18Speaker 9: And the API says the agents assigned and protect Naomi
- 7:20Speaker 9: Biden were out with her in the Georgetown neighborhood late
- 7:23Speaker 9: Sunday when they saw the three people breaking a window
- 7:25Speaker 9: of the park and unoccupied that suv.
- 7:27Speaker 2: So she with them and not with me. I'll say
- 7:29Speaker 2: she wasn't well, she wasn't in the car. What car?
- 7:33Speaker 2: The car they was breaking into. There was no threat
- 7:36Speaker 2: to her.
- 7:36Speaker 8: That's what they were saying, that they were breaking into
- 7:37Speaker 8: a car, that she wasn't there that meeting there meeting
- 7:41Speaker 8: in the car. There was no threat to the young lady.
- 7:44Speaker 8: M I investigated, inspect the gadget. They just need to
- 7:49Speaker 8: see a little water. That's all right, Well that is.
- 7:51Speaker 2: Front page news. We see you out there at the
- 7:54Speaker 2: rock the bells cruise.

- 8:38Speaker 5: How you doing AJ?
- 8:39Speaker 14: What up?
- 8:39Speaker 2: Getting off your chest? Hey?
- 8:42Speaker 14: So I just wanted to speak in reference to the
- 8:45Speaker 14: shooting when it comes to Secret Service, so I'm I'm
- 8:49Speaker 14: there for it, and I used to be stationed up
- 8:51Speaker 14: that way. So they treat those vehicles as if they're
- 8:54Speaker 14: government property. So like if you try to fill a
- 8:57Speaker 14: government flank, like on a base, gonna shoot at you
- 9:01Speaker 14: because you're going near with that property.
- 9:03Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking.
- 9:03Speaker 9: I'm seeing the details now they're saying that it was
- 9:06Speaker 9: the vehicle was part of the protective detail for President Biden,
- 9:10Speaker 9: your granddaughter.
- 9:11Speaker 14: Yeah, so they gonna shoot that with You can't you
- 9:14Speaker 14: can't even really supposed to go.
- 9:15Speaker 8: Near those vehicles, man, Nah, I get a plane, because
- 9:19Speaker 8: you could take a plane and crash into anything. But
- 9:22Speaker 8: and the fact that they missed though, that that's kind
- 9:24Speaker 8: of scary too, right, because they Secret Service they.
- 9:26Speaker 2: Maybe maybe they tried to miss. Maybe they weren't trying
- 9:29Speaker 2: to hit them.
- 9:29Speaker 14: Yeah, I think they were probably you know, it's like
- 9:31Speaker 14: those warning shots, Yeah, just to get you away.
- 9:35Speaker 8: I'm shocked that they let him get away though, but
- 9:37Speaker 8: they probably couldn't leave by his daughter to apprehend him,
- 9:39Speaker 8: so they you know, they still got to protect Biden's daughter.
- 9:42Speaker 2: It ain't just them. This is a detail. How many
- 9:44Speaker 2: people think it wasn't on that detail?
- 9:46Speaker 8: Probably probably three or three vehicles, four vehicle vehicles. You
- 9:50Speaker 8: ever seen Have you ever seen a secret service detail
- 9:53Speaker 8: for a granddaughter though?
- 9:54Speaker 2: Bruh?

- 15:25Speaker 8: Tamar Braxton.
- 15:28Speaker 2: Names or you've gossip? Beat? Is the rumor report? I mean,
- 15:34Speaker 2: I guess we're on the Breakfast Club. This is where
- 15:35Speaker 2: the tea spells right right now.
- 15:37Speaker 8: Yesterday were reported about Tamar Braxton performing and her inviting
- 15:41Speaker 8: Krashaan Rock to come on.
- 15:43Speaker 2: Stage with her.
- 15:44Speaker 8: Allegedly, there was an altercation after she performed, and they're
- 15:47Speaker 8: saying that her backup singer slash hairstylist got punched in
- 15:51Speaker 8: the face of end and chipped his tooth.
- 15:55Speaker 2: Well, she chipped his tooth. She chipped his tooth allegedly.
- 15:57Speaker 8: So now Tamar Braxton is actually speaking out of what
- 16:01Speaker 8: actually happened.
- 16:02Speaker 24: When I say what happened to him, he got us
- 16:03Speaker 24: alted at my show, and it was by Kushon. Number one,
- 16:08Speaker 24: I care about my team. They're all of my friends.
- 16:12Speaker 24: And Kushan was definitely someone that I invited, someone that
- 16:15Speaker 24: I actually, you know, looked at from Afar as like
- 16:19Speaker 24: a younger sister. She's from Baltimore, and then she was rowdy.
- 16:23Speaker 24: You know, I didn't judge her because of that. You know,
- 16:25Speaker 24: I felt for her on so many occasions, and I
- 16:28Speaker 24: just felt like, oh, this was somebody I wanted to
- 16:30Speaker 24: meet to, you know, possibly take under my wing. And
- 16:33Speaker 24: so that's really all it was. I didn't call Kushon
- 16:35Speaker 24: to open up for me, but when she was in
- 16:38Speaker 24: my dressing room, we do a torque off portion, right,
- 16:41Speaker 24: and I was like, oh, it'll be cool if you
- 16:43Speaker 24: if the DJ played is a vibe and you came
- 16:45Speaker 24: out and did a vibe like the people, you know,
- 16:47Speaker 24: Baltimore sisters. And that's really what I was thinking.
- 16:51Speaker 9: How come we even never seeing Krishan rock and handcuffs,
- 16:54Speaker 9: like all this fighting she supposedly be doing but never
- 16:57Speaker 9: getting locked up. Is it because she's a woman, Because
- 17:00Speaker 9: folks feel sorry for her because mentally and emotionally you
- 17:03Speaker 9: can clearly see that you know she's unstable.
- 17:06Speaker 2: Like, what is it?
- 17:06Speaker 9: Because if she's putting hands on people like this, only
- 17:08Speaker 9: one or two things gonna happen. She's gonna end up
- 17:10Speaker 9: in jail or somebody end up hurting her in a
- 17:12Speaker 9: real way. And I wonder why do people keep going
- 17:15Speaker 9: to social media with these statements. Go to law enforcement,
- 17:20Speaker 9: Tell law enforcement what it is so she can get arrested.
- 17:22Speaker 9: Because as long as they are no consequences of the
- 17:24Speaker 9: air actions, she's gonna keep going.
- 17:26Speaker 8: Well, I think what happened was I think somebody said
- 17:28Speaker 8: that it didn't happen, so they're saying that it did.
- 17:30Speaker 2: Well.
- 17:30Speaker 8: We actually hear from the gentleman that got allegedly punched
- 17:34Speaker 8: in the face. He was actually at the dentist's office
- 17:36Speaker 8: at that time getting his teeth fixed, and he was
- 17:39Speaker 8: on live.
- 17:40Speaker 12: What's happened to him?
- 17:40Speaker 21: For no reason?
- 17:42Speaker 16: I was attacked for no reasons.
- 17:44Speaker 12: And then she's telling me, don't get on live.
- 17:46Speaker 25: But no, like all the assumptions on how people feel
- 17:50Speaker 25: and what people think they know, I am not gonna
- 17:53Speaker 25: hear right now.
- 17:54Speaker 16: I have to get my teeth fixed.
- 17:57Speaker 25: My teeth have to be fixed. And that's what's happening
- 18:00Speaker 25: right now. So don't kid only line saying what didn't happen.
- 18:04Speaker 25: It didn't happen, And no, I'm not going to show
- 18:07Speaker 25: my face. My face is tow us.
- 18:10Speaker 16: So right now I have to.
- 18:11Speaker 12: Get teeth sticks.
- 18:12Speaker 23: That someone damage.
- 18:15Speaker 11: The anger or whatever the issue was wasn't towards me.
- 18:19Speaker 25: So that's why I'm saying I was attacked for no any.
- 18:23Speaker 2: Saying stop going live. I agree, go to the police.
- 18:26Speaker 9: You can go to the you can go live after
- 18:27Speaker 9: you go to the police and go on live and
- 18:29Speaker 9: tell everybody you went to the police.
- 18:31Speaker 2: But Tamar, need to go to the police. What's the
- 18:33Speaker 2: person name.
- 18:33Speaker 5: Who got it?
- 18:34Speaker 2: James, right, James Wright.
- 18:35Speaker 9: Need to go to the police, like you know, like
- 18:37Speaker 9: go to the police and report these alleged crimes because
- 18:41Speaker 9: that's what they are, right right. Well, also, Tamar said,
- 18:44Speaker 9: Tama said, you know, she embraced Kashan because she was rowdy.
- 18:49Speaker 9: Rowdy is cool until she's being rowdy with you and yours. Right,
- 18:52Speaker 9: you know what I'm saying. You embraced it and you
- 18:54Speaker 9: like it until you know that person is being ready
- 18:56Speaker 9: with you and yours.
- 18:57Speaker 2: I don't think she said she was like.
- 18:58Speaker 8: I think she was saying that she was trying to
- 18:59Speaker 8: get for a shot or a chance, or trying to
- 19:03Speaker 8: kind of be like a bigger sister.
- 19:04Speaker 9: Well, if you want to see how somebody's gonna treat
- 19:06Speaker 9: you eventually, just watch how they treat other people.
- 19:08Speaker 2: Welcome Sean Rock.
- 19:09Speaker 8: Of course, she deactivated all her pages, her Instagram and Twitter,
- 19:12Speaker 8: so she deactivated everything.
- 19:15Speaker 9: I just don't see why people aren't going to the
- 19:18Speaker 9: police they report these alleged crimes.
- 19:21Speaker 8: Now fifty cent he's narrating Lil Wayne and two Chains

- 23:39Speaker 8: Remember when Kobe they said he was gonna be out
- 23:40Speaker 8: for a long time, he went to like overseas or
- 23:42Speaker 8: did some blood thing where they mixed the blood and
- 23:44Speaker 8: put it back in your systems.

- 23:56Speaker 2: Giants fan.
- 23:57Speaker 5: So it is what it is.
- 23:58Speaker 2: Man, All right, let's jump right into it.
- 24:00Speaker 8: Let's talk about the Mississippi man that was buried without
- 24:03Speaker 8: the family's knowledge.
- 24:05Speaker 11: Yeah, remember we talked about this.
- 24:06Speaker 10: Attorney Crumb called into the show and explained, you know
- 24:08Speaker 10: what happened with Dexter Wade where there was an update. Now,
- 24:11Speaker 10: just to refresh everyone's memory, that is the guy that
- 24:13Speaker 10: died after being hit by police suv by an off
- 24:17Speaker 10: duty officer.
- 24:18Speaker 11: He was buried and did not let the mother know.
- 24:20Speaker 5: Well.
- 24:21Speaker 10: His body was exhumed on yesterday, and once again they
- 24:24Speaker 10: screwed over this family. Guys, they did not notify the
- 24:28Speaker 10: family they give them the correct time. While Dexter ray
- 24:31Speaker 10: Waits remains were released on Monday, his family said officials
- 24:35Speaker 10: failed to honor the agreed upon time approved by the
- 24:38Speaker 10: county attorney for exooming the body. It happened hours before
- 24:42Speaker 10: it was supposed to happen. So the family is pissed
- 24:44Speaker 10: because once again they took something from her. Let's listen
- 24:47Speaker 10: to missus Wade what she had to say.
- 24:49Speaker 2: Y'all talk him out the ground. Y'all put him in
- 24:52Speaker 2: the ground, but not my permission. But I don't have
- 24:55Speaker 2: no permission.
- 24:56Speaker 23: That's how the system went.
- 24:58Speaker 7: That's what I'm living and I'm living in Mississippi and
- 25:03Speaker 7: this is what I got to day all with that, I.
- 25:06Speaker 5: Don't even matter.
- 25:08Speaker 2: Yeah, that's horrible, man.
- 25:09Speaker 9: You know we always say that, you know, people should
- 25:11Speaker 9: be able to rest in peace. But it's not just
- 25:13Speaker 9: the person that's passed away, you know, what about you know,
- 25:16Speaker 9: the person's family. You know, the person's family needs peace
- 25:19Speaker 9: of mind too. You can't have peace of mind if
- 25:21Speaker 9: you got to constantly go through this.
- 25:22Speaker 2: I just listen to what she said, buryed him, dug
- 25:24Speaker 2: his body up, buried him again. Like damn.
- 25:29Speaker 10: Well, they are doing an independent optopsy to see, you know,
- 25:33Speaker 10: what happened with mter Wade. They certainly don't want to
- 25:35Speaker 10: just take the police's word for but that is just
- 25:38Speaker 10: absolutely disrespectful, you know, not have their family, you know,
- 25:42Speaker 10: be able to be there. The minister was there, you know,
- 25:44Speaker 10: wanted to be there, you know, as to show some
- 25:47Speaker 10: type of decency and respect. So this is just sad
- 25:50Speaker 10: to hear all the way around.
- 25:51Speaker 2: Absolutely right. Well, let's talk about HONDI, you know.
- 25:54Speaker 10: Just want to give an update on this. You know,
- 25:56Speaker 10: we hear a lot about strikes and people want to
- 25:58Speaker 10: know what happens after. So this is a win for
- 26:02Speaker 10: those that did go on strike. Automaker Honda joined Honda
- 26:05Speaker 10: and Toyota and raising factory worker wages after United Auto
- 26:09Speaker 10: Workers reached their agreement with Detroit Automakers. They said it
- 26:12Speaker 10: we'll raise the factory workers paid by twenty five percent
- 26:15Speaker 10: in twenty twenty eight, matching the general wage increase one
- 26:19Speaker 10: by the UAW during that period. So about one hundred
- 26:22Speaker 10: and forty six thousand members are voting on new contracts

- 27:39Speaker 8: does that title meet?
- 27:41Speaker 3: You know?
- 27:42Speaker 1: Essentially, it's about, you know, putting those parts of our
- 27:45Speaker 1: of our of ourselves, of our of our past. You
- 27:49Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, that are no longer going to service,
- 27:51Speaker 1: are no longer going to service in the same way,
- 27:53Speaker 1: to to a different use, you know what I'm saying,
- 27:55Speaker 1: to a better use.
- 27:57Speaker 2: Right.
- 27:57Speaker 1: So that's that's what it's about. Really, it's a it's
- 28:00Speaker 1: a self help memoir of sorts.
- 28:02Speaker 2: Yeah, the art of becoming who we are.
- 28:05Speaker 9: I always wonder why did it take us so long
- 28:08Speaker 9: to discover who we actually are?
- 28:11Speaker 5: I mean, you know, it's it's it's a process, you
- 28:14Speaker 5: know what I mean.
- 28:15Speaker 1: It's it's it's valleys and peaks, and I think it's uh,
- 28:18Speaker 1: you know you you you you arrive at and understanding
- 28:21Speaker 1: of who you are, you know, uh, over time.
- 28:24Speaker 5: So it's really no shortcut, you know what I'm saying.
- 28:26Speaker 5: It's a It's a lot of people that think you
- 28:29Speaker 5: can go from A to Z, but you gotta go B.
- 28:33Speaker 2: C, D, E, F G first.
- 28:36Speaker 9: And it teaches you too that you know, everything is parallel,
- 28:39Speaker 9: like there's really nothing behind you absolutely.
- 28:42Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
- 28:42Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and and and this book is about that too.
- 28:45Speaker 1: It's about you know, accepting uh the present, you know
- 28:49Speaker 1: what I mean. It's just you know, living, uh, being
- 28:51Speaker 1: more intentional.
- 28:52Speaker 5: About about your presence. So yeah, that's that's that's why
- 28:56Speaker 5: I'm at with it.
- 28:56Speaker 8: Could you get a chance to deal with all the
- 28:59Speaker 8: trauma before you put it in his book? Or was
- 29:00Speaker 8: it some of it was releasing that trauma by writing
- 29:03Speaker 8: this book.
- 29:04Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of the trauma, you know, it was
- 29:06Speaker 1: it was addressed in during the process, you know, and
- 29:10Speaker 1: that's that's what made it, you know, just like this
- 29:13Speaker 1: was my therapy. It was really, you know, a cathartic
- 29:16Speaker 1: sort of experience, and more so than I'd expected. I mean,
- 29:19Speaker 1: you know, you know your your history, right, but when
- 29:22Speaker 1: it's laid out there, you know what I mean, when
- 29:23Speaker 1: you have it on on the Q cards and you
- 29:26Speaker 1: know what I mean, and you're reading it, uh you
- 29:29Speaker 1: know in a linear sort of way.
- 29:31Speaker 5: I mean, it just hits different man, It hits it
- 29:33Speaker 5: hits differently.
- 29:34Speaker 1: And it was something that uh, my co author, Jasmine
- 29:37Speaker 1: Martin was able to, uh to employ like a tool
- 29:41Speaker 1: she was able to use during this process that it
- 29:43Speaker 1: really hit me hard when I was reading one of
- 29:45Speaker 1: the final drafts of the book and it was you know,
- 29:48Speaker 1: she was able to speak. There's an a side section
- 29:52Speaker 1: where you hear, you know, my mother, like you hear
- 29:56Speaker 1: my mother's perspective, and uh, the way she was able to, uh,
- 30:00Speaker 1: you know, just to approximate my mother's perspective and her voice,
- 30:03Speaker 1: That's what really really hit me hard in the process.
- 30:06Speaker 8: Did you did you have a question your faith as
- 30:08Speaker 8: a kid growing up because you talk about so much
- 30:10Speaker 8: death in your life and all the stuff that you've
- 30:13Speaker 8: been through. Did you ever say, you know, what, does
- 30:15Speaker 8: this really exist? Is there really a God or whoever
- 30:18Speaker 8: you believe it? Did you have a question your faith
- 30:19Speaker 8: at all?
- 30:20Speaker 5: I did?
- 30:20Speaker 1: Yeah, There's definitely been times, you know when you I've
- 30:23Speaker 1: questioned my faith, uh, you know, or I mean just
- 30:28Speaker 1: on the existential tip, you know what I mean, Like,
- 30:31Speaker 1: if there's a god, you know, how could all of
- 30:34Speaker 1: this you know, loss and trauma and death, Uh, you
- 30:38Speaker 1: know exists. It's some of the stuff that I write about.
- 30:41Speaker 1: How how was the world this ugly? If you made
- 30:43Speaker 1: it in your image. Man, you know what I'm saying.
- 30:45Speaker 1: That's one of my bars from a song called Dear God.
- 30:47Speaker 1: But yeah, to answer your question.
- 30:49Speaker 2: Definitely, how did you get that back?
- 30:51Speaker 8: And the reason I asked is if you don't know,
- 30:52Speaker 8: when you read the book, you find out that you
- 30:54Speaker 8: lost your father at a young age, you lost your.
- 30:55Speaker 2: Mom at a young age as well. Both have murdered.
- 30:58Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, murder.
- 30:59Speaker 2: So how do you get that faith back.
- 31:01Speaker 5: Through the arts?
- 31:03Speaker 1: Visual art, which was my gateway, you know, into music,
- 31:07Speaker 1: and and that's that's what really saved my life.
- 31:09Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. It was a game changer
- 31:11Speaker 5: that I would have been on the I was already
- 31:13Speaker 5: on it. I was on that path.
- 31:14Speaker 1: And you know, me meeting quest love when I did,
- 31:16Speaker 1: which you know I talk about in the book, and
- 31:19Speaker 1: just getting on that musical trajectory of the arts is
- 31:22Speaker 1: what really save me.
- 31:23Speaker 22: Now.
- 31:24Speaker 9: I know you was a baby when your father was
- 31:26Speaker 9: tragically murdered, when the teenager when your mother was were
- 31:29Speaker 9: you able to process that pain in the moment or
- 31:33Speaker 9: was that something that.
- 31:33Speaker 2: You dealt with as you got older.
- 31:35Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's something that I'm still dealing with.
- 31:38Speaker 1: I definitely was not able to process it in the moment,
- 31:42Speaker 1: you know, no matter how hard I tried, right, you know,
- 31:44Speaker 1: I wanted to feel all the emotion that that you
- 31:47Speaker 1: you know, you expect you would expect one to feel
- 31:50Speaker 1: when you experienced that sort of loss, But I mean
- 31:52Speaker 1: for me, it was I mean, it took forever before
- 31:55Speaker 1: I was even able to shed a tear about, you know,
- 31:58Speaker 1: my mother's murder, you know. And I think it's just
- 32:01Speaker 1: because it was so many layers of callous and and
- 32:04Speaker 1: scar tissue to sort of work through.
- 32:06Speaker 5: And that's what that's what this book is about.
- 32:08Speaker 1: It's about that armor that you know, at one point
- 32:11Speaker 1: in time, it might it might serve as a defense mechanism.
- 32:14Speaker 5: It might you know, protect you.
- 32:16Speaker 1: But as we move through life and you get into
- 32:18Speaker 1: different spaces, you start to interact with different people, and
- 32:21Speaker 1: you know, you're now you in these different dynamics, they
- 32:23Speaker 1: no longer service in the same way.
- 32:25Speaker 2: What about vengeance and revenge like, how do you ultimately
- 32:28Speaker 2: let let that go?
- 32:30Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, yeah, I'm I feeling I definitely feel
- 32:34Speaker 1: like I have. It's uh, that's that was just a
- 32:36Speaker 1: wise move. I think I definitely came to to to
- 32:39Speaker 1: understand as a young person, when I was still a
- 32:42Speaker 1: teenager that uh, you know, holding on to uh to
- 32:46Speaker 1: to negative energy in that way. You know, it's just
- 32:49Speaker 1: as as detrimental to you know, the beholder as it
- 32:53Speaker 1: is to whoever you're trying to project it upon.
- 32:56Speaker 5: So yeah, yeah, I've never really sat.
- 32:58Speaker 1: With uh you know, the old vengeance in that way,
- 33:01Speaker 1: you know what I mean as far as like in
- 33:04Speaker 1: the in my dad's case, uh, it was it's still
- 33:07Speaker 1: it was never a solve murder. But in my mom's case, uh,
- 33:11Speaker 1: you know, they they they apprehended someone shortly after and
- 33:15Speaker 1: uh you know, we went through the trial and everything,
- 33:17Speaker 1: and you know, he received a sentence and then there
- 33:20Speaker 1: was a mistrial of it all and he was we
- 33:22Speaker 1: had to sit through it again. So I sat through
- 33:24Speaker 1: actually through my mother's murder trial twice, you know. And
- 33:27Speaker 1: but in that you know, once it, once it was done,
- 33:31Speaker 1: it was something that I had to let go of,
- 33:33Speaker 1: you know what I mean, in order for me to
- 33:34Speaker 1: be able to move forward.
- 33:35Speaker 8: So and you still had love for for feeling regardless
- 33:38Speaker 8: of everything that happened, YEA. That gotta be tough too.
- 33:40Speaker 1: Absolutely, yeah, yeah, I have, I absolutely have love, you know,
- 33:44Speaker 1: for for Philadelphia, that's that's the place that made me.
- 33:46Speaker 1: But you know it's also it's one of those you know,
- 33:48Speaker 1: it could make you, it could break you, you know
- 33:50Speaker 1: what I mean. And it's the city of brotherly love.
- 33:53Speaker 1: That love has always been a tough.
- 33:55Speaker 5: Love, you know.
- 33:56Speaker 8: All Right, we got more with Black Thought when we
- 33:58Speaker 8: come back, don't move.
- 33:58Speaker 2: It's the Breakfast Club, Go Morning.
- 34:00Speaker 8: Everybody is DJ Envy Charlamagne, the guy we all to
- 34:03Speaker 8: Breakfast Club. I was still kicking it with Black Thought, Charlamagne.
- 34:06Speaker 8: Is there anything you learned about your parents writing this
- 34:10Speaker 8: book that you previously didn't know, especially your father.
- 34:13Speaker 1: There's not much that I really learned about my father
- 34:16Speaker 1: that you know, hadn't already been told to me. But
- 34:20Speaker 1: one thing that I really had to deal with in
- 34:22Speaker 1: writing this book was I had to, you know, just
- 34:25Speaker 1: sit with the level of grace that.
- 34:27Speaker 5: My mother had extended to me as a young person.
- 34:29Speaker 1: I burned the house down at the age of six,
- 34:31Speaker 1: which is sort of where the book begins.
- 34:33Speaker 5: And you know, I just knew I was in for it.
- 34:36Speaker 1: I thought I was in trouble and you know what
- 34:38Speaker 1: I mean, just guilt and you know, all those feelings
- 34:41Speaker 1: were sort of you know, bubbling, uh, you know, like running.
- 34:45Speaker 5: Through my body. And my mom came home.
- 34:47Speaker 1: Obviously, our only concern was, you know, safe, everybody was safe, right,
- 34:51Speaker 1: and yeah, just you know, the the grace that she
- 34:54Speaker 1: extended at that time, and it was just really surprising,
- 34:57Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And it was a beautiful thing,
- 34:59Speaker 1: and it just gave me a different sort of insight
- 35:01Speaker 1: into who she was and in retrospect, you know what
- 35:04Speaker 1: I mean now, you know, as an adult, just to
- 35:06Speaker 1: go back and relive it. Yeah, it just gave me
- 35:08Speaker 1: different take on on my mother as a person, you know.
- 35:11Speaker 2: And you understood in the magnitude of what happened at
- 35:13Speaker 2: the age of six, I don't.
- 35:16Speaker 1: I don't know that I really understood the magnitude the
- 35:17Speaker 1: way I knew I'd done something that you know, I mean,
- 35:22Speaker 1: there was no turning back from you know what I'm saying.
- 35:24Speaker 1: It was something that I couldn't undo and uh, and
- 35:27Speaker 1: it felt, you know, super serious. But I think in
- 35:29Speaker 1: that moment, I just shut down, Like that was my
- 35:32Speaker 1: you know, my my knee jerk response, My my reflex
- 35:35Speaker 1: was I just shut down, and you know, I just
- 35:37Speaker 1: I walked down the stairs, like there wasn't a fires,
- 35:41Speaker 1: you know, And yeah, I guess it gives you a
- 35:44Speaker 1: different insight too into your children, right yeah.
- 35:47Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, And so do you do you give that
- 35:50Speaker 8: grace to your kids because you know, as as a parent,
- 35:53Speaker 8: you know a lot of times when your kids do something,
- 35:54Speaker 8: the first reactor is to get mad, to get upset,
- 35:56Speaker 8: and you want to scold them so they don't do
- 35:58Speaker 8: it again. But you got to go back to when
- 36:00Speaker 8: he was six, Yeah, and you did something way worse
- 36:02Speaker 8: than IM sure any of your kids have ever done.
- 36:04Speaker 2: So how does that affect how you parents your kids?
- 36:07Speaker 1: It absolutely does, And you know it's something that I
- 36:10Speaker 1: just have to remain mindful of, you know, because in
- 36:12Speaker 1: the moment, it's not easy, you know what I'm saying.
- 36:13Speaker 1: I remember a couple of years ago, Uh, my son,
- 36:17Speaker 1: he he did something like where I think he left
- 36:20Speaker 1: the water running like for a long time up in
- 36:23Speaker 1: one of the bathrooms. Long story, short hole, like the
- 36:26Speaker 1: ceiling of a whole room in my house wound up
- 36:29Speaker 1: falling through. You know, when it was tens of thousands
- 36:33Speaker 1: of dollars in damage and you know, long insurance claim
- 36:38Speaker 1: and you know, we were jacked up for a long
- 36:39Speaker 1: time because of it. But yeah, you know, in that moment,
- 36:43Speaker 1: it's like, yo, that's when I have to you know,
- 36:45Speaker 1: be mindful of of that grace. But you know, I
- 36:47Speaker 1: definitely I got to catch myself because you know, I'm
- 36:50Speaker 1: also a disciplinarian, you know, So.
- 36:54Speaker 2: Are you a disciplinarian like your like like the older
- 36:57Speaker 2: people that raised us, Because.
- 36:59Speaker 8: I always wonder there was a fine line for what
- 37:01Speaker 8: we received, Yes, between discipline.
- 37:07Speaker 2: Seventy something.
- 37:09Speaker 1: It's a delicate balance, you know what I'm saying. I've
- 37:12Speaker 1: never been teamed spare the rod, you know what I'm saying.
- 37:15Speaker 1: But I'm more lenient now and more you know, I
- 37:20Speaker 1: extend more grace now.
- 37:22Speaker 5: I'm more forgiving now, you know than ever.
- 37:25Speaker 9: You know what makes you feel like now is the
- 37:27Speaker 9: time to write a memoir? When somebody approaches you and
- 37:29Speaker 9: it says, hey, we'd love for you to write a memoir.
- 37:32Speaker 9: You know, you got to open up and raally revealed
- 37:34Speaker 9: things you probably never revealed.
- 37:36Speaker 2: What made you want to do it?
- 37:36Speaker 5: Nothing just because you know I was.
- 37:40Speaker 1: I was excited for that in the process, right, I
- 37:42Speaker 1: was excited to you know, like what that experience might
- 37:46Speaker 1: hold for me. You know what I'm saying, just being open,
- 37:49Speaker 1: accessible and vulnerable in a way that I hadn't before
- 37:52Speaker 1: in my art.
- 37:53Speaker 5: You know, hip hop is.
- 37:56Speaker 1: Founded upon so much you know, my cheese mo and
- 38:00Speaker 1: braggadocio and you know, just larger than life winn.
- 38:03Speaker 5: It takes all. Yeah, you know that.
- 38:06Speaker 1: Sometimes it gets exhausting, you know what I mean, when
- 38:10Speaker 1: you've done that, when you've had to put up you know,
- 38:12Speaker 1: such a you know, like a one dimensional.
- 38:16Speaker 5: Perspective of of of of yourself and of your art
- 38:19Speaker 5: and of your identity. Uh, you know, for such a
- 38:22Speaker 5: long time.
- 38:23Speaker 1: Sometimes it's you know, I mean they say that about
- 38:25Speaker 1: people who lie, right, You tell a lie for a
- 38:27Speaker 1: long time, and then it's like you know when when
- 38:30Speaker 1: when the truth shall set you free?
- 38:32Speaker 5: Right? So this is this is that sort of sort
- 38:34Speaker 5: of thing playing out for me. And uh.
- 38:36Speaker 1: I would meet fans who've been rocking with me for
- 38:38Speaker 1: such a long time and they would say, you know,
- 38:40Speaker 1: for all of roots and music that you know I've
- 38:43Speaker 1: acquired and all your lyrics, I know, front to back,
- 38:46Speaker 1: I still feel as though I don't know, you know,
- 38:49Speaker 1: black thought, I don't know to try to as a person,
- 38:52Speaker 1: and that that's always been by design just because of
- 38:55Speaker 1: you know, my introversion.
- 38:56Speaker 5: So I felt like at this edge of my career
- 38:59Speaker 5: you know, you know, and acts three of whatever it
- 39:02Speaker 5: is that that.
- 39:03Speaker 1: I'm doing as a creative, you know what I'm saying,
- 39:05Speaker 1: I've passed that threshold of fifty years, you know, so
- 39:09Speaker 1: this is the only place sort of left to go
- 39:11Speaker 1: is within myself as an artist. So this is sort
- 39:14Speaker 1: of the final frontier. And it's something I've always held
- 39:17Speaker 1: near and there because I'm so private, you know. So
- 39:20Speaker 1: I've I've been you know, really uh possessive in private
- 39:24Speaker 1: with my story. But I feel like now at this
- 39:26Speaker 1: point in time, and you know, just with as many
- 39:29Speaker 1: people who have followed me and who look up to me,
- 39:31Speaker 1: and you know, the idea of being a role model
- 39:34Speaker 1: of it all, I think this is the time in
- 39:37Speaker 1: which it would it would be you know, of of
- 39:39Speaker 1: the most value and serve the most people.
- 39:42Speaker 2: So as an artist, the memoir unlocks something that music has.
- 39:46Speaker 22: It.
- 39:47Speaker 5: Yeah, it has for me.
- 39:48Speaker 1: It has for me, you know, I've been able to
- 39:50Speaker 1: just tap into you know, telling my story in a
- 39:53Speaker 1: different way.
- 39:54Speaker 2: I love this line. Our lives are our response to
- 39:58Speaker 2: the call of our childhoods. What does that line mean
- 40:01Speaker 2: to you?
- 40:01Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you know, it's it's about having having
- 40:04Speaker 1: to go through it to get to it, you know
- 40:06Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Essentially, while we always got to go
- 40:09Speaker 1: through it, why black people got to go We're not
- 40:11Speaker 1: the only ones that gotta go through you know. Yeah,
- 40:13Speaker 1: we're not the only ones that gotta go through it.
- 40:14Speaker 1: But yeah, I think that's that's that's that's what it
- 40:17Speaker 1: speaks to. You know, it's about a wisdom that you
- 40:21Speaker 1: know you can only arrive at.
- 40:22Speaker 5: You know what I mean.
- 40:23Speaker 1: It's it's about a journey to that wisdom, and sometimes
- 40:27Speaker 1: it's about being wise enough to realize that, uh, you know,
- 40:30Speaker 1: the journey is just gonna take you back to where
- 40:31Speaker 1: you begin.
- 40:32Speaker 9: I love reading memoirs now because I love to hear
- 40:34Speaker 9: how people you know, cope with, you know, their inner child.
- 40:37Speaker 2: Because I do not know why.
- 40:39Speaker 9: The older you get, it feels like you're in a
- 40:41Speaker 9: child is crying out for more and more help. And
- 40:44Speaker 9: especially when you do start doing the work, when you
- 40:46Speaker 9: do start going to therapy, sitting with spiritual leaders, you know,
- 40:50Speaker 9: dealing with plants, whatever, it is.
- 40:52Speaker 2: It's like you're in a child to start screaming out
- 40:54Speaker 2: for help.
- 40:55Speaker 1: Well, they talk about our emotional response to just things
- 40:58Speaker 1: in the world and how, you know, the way we
- 41:02Speaker 1: respond to things, you know, is something that we usually
- 41:05Speaker 1: developed before the age of seven or eight, you know
- 41:07Speaker 1: what I mean. So it's it requires a conscious effort,
- 41:12Speaker 1: you know what I mean, in order to to train
- 41:14Speaker 1: your body, to condition yourself to to respond to the world,
- 41:17Speaker 1: to respond to any sort of stimuli in a different
- 41:20Speaker 1: way than you would as a child.
- 41:22Speaker 5: You know what I mean. So that's what they call,
- 41:24Speaker 5: you know, the work. So this is this is part
- 41:25Speaker 5: of that.
- 41:26Speaker 1: This is uh, this is me doing doing my work
- 41:28Speaker 1: to work through my and and it's the beginning of it.
- 41:31Speaker 1: This book is only you know, this is uh, this
- 41:33Speaker 1: is me as a young person.
- 41:34Speaker 5: It's uh. By the by the end of the book,
- 41:36Speaker 5: I think I'm still I'm in high school, you know.
- 41:39Speaker 8: All right, will on move. We got more with black
- 41:41Speaker 8: Dot when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good
- 41:42Speaker 8: morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Charlamagne to die. We
- 41:46Speaker 8: are to Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with black Thought.
- 41:48Speaker 8: I was gonna ask with the roots, when you guys
- 41:51Speaker 8: created the roots, When did y'all start making money. And
- 41:53Speaker 8: the reason I asked is because it was new, Like
- 41:55Speaker 8: when when when the roots came out? It was something
- 41:57Speaker 8: that hip hop hasn't seen on that platform or respected
- 42:00Speaker 8: on that platform.
- 42:01Speaker 2: So when did the routes finally break through? And was like, nah,
- 42:03Speaker 2: this is hip hop's bad?
- 42:05Speaker 5: I want to say around you know, two thousand and six.
- 42:09Speaker 8: So was it hard to always, you know, break into
- 42:12Speaker 8: a market sell it to a promoter because I just
- 42:14Speaker 8: remember the route so early on and just like this
- 42:16Speaker 8: is just so different, and sometimes a hip hop different
- 42:20Speaker 8: is hard to break through.
- 42:21Speaker 5: It was very hard for us.
- 42:22Speaker 1: It was you know, super difficult to us because we
- 42:26Speaker 1: didn't really look or sound or feel like an anything
- 42:30Speaker 1: else that was that was happening. So it was a
- 42:31Speaker 1: lot of a you know, we always had to prove
- 42:33Speaker 1: ourselves right and and you know, I mean it took
- 42:37Speaker 1: so long for us to even break even financially, and
- 42:42Speaker 1: that's something that just came over time, you know, just
- 42:45Speaker 1: paying those dudes on the road, you know what I'm saying, Like,
- 42:47Speaker 1: you start at one point touring and then you're able
- 42:50Speaker 1: to sort of get your stock up just through when
- 42:53Speaker 1: you keep coming back. You know what I mean, so
- 42:54Speaker 1: we were able to sort of build on on on
- 42:57Speaker 1: that relevance and it was wild. It was like when
- 42:59Speaker 1: we finally hit a point, you know, six o seven,
- 43:02Speaker 1: you know where we felt like, yeah, you know, all
- 43:04Speaker 1: of these years of two hundred plus days on the
- 43:07Speaker 1: road started to pay off. That's when you know, there
- 43:10Speaker 1: was a whole seismic shift in the way people started
- 43:13Speaker 1: to receive you know, people were receiving music and you know,
- 43:16Speaker 1: concert tickets and all that thing.
- 43:18Speaker 5: It was, you know, we went through a revolution with
- 43:21Speaker 5: the you know, streaming and that whole thing.
- 43:24Speaker 1: So and then that's when the Tonight show opportunity presented
- 43:27Speaker 1: it stuff and that's what made it make sense. It
- 43:29Speaker 1: was like, you know, we had just reached finally reached
- 43:31Speaker 1: the we hit a stride and and everything was changing.
- 43:34Speaker 2: You know.
- 43:35Speaker 5: So yeah, that that in that uncertainty, uh, you know,
- 43:39Speaker 5: the consistency of.
- 43:41Speaker 1: The day job and that platform that it would it
- 43:44Speaker 1: would represent, you know, it looked really good.
- 43:46Speaker 8: Was there a particular moment was it was it a
- 43:48Speaker 8: Jay Z using y'all a lot, or like, was it
- 43:51Speaker 8: a particular moment that called that shift?
- 43:55Speaker 5: You know when we started to make some bread.
- 43:57Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, it get recognized by enough to where
- 44:00Speaker 9: the tonight show was like y'all want that?
- 44:02Speaker 5: Well, you know, yeah, I think it was just over time, man.
- 44:04Speaker 1: You know, we you know, we've been around for I
- 44:09Speaker 1: mean blessed enough to have been around for such a
- 44:11Speaker 1: long time that you know. A good example is, you know,
- 44:14Speaker 1: there's a festival that takes place in in in Denmark
- 44:19Speaker 1: and Copenhagen every year. It's called Ross Guilder, and uh,
- 44:22Speaker 1: you know, we started playing at ross Gueld.
- 44:25Speaker 5: Before we were even you know, allowed on the actual
- 44:27Speaker 5: festival grounds.
- 44:28Speaker 1: Like we were you know, two tenths you know, out
- 44:31Speaker 1: on the main strip right and you know, we we
- 44:34Speaker 1: worked our way up from you know the outskirts to
- 44:37Speaker 1: the tent, you know, right on the borderline to you know, uh,
- 44:40Speaker 1: you know, third and fourth stages until we came back
- 44:44Speaker 1: and we were able to headline, you know with it
- 44:47Speaker 1: was the Roots in Bruce Springsteen co headliner. So you know,
- 44:51Speaker 1: but yeah, that was over you know what I'm saying
- 44:52Speaker 1: many years and it's like Ross Guilder isn't like we've
- 44:56Speaker 1: done that around the world, you know what I mean,
- 44:59Speaker 1: just because we've been able to keep up appearances. So yeah, yeah,
- 45:02Speaker 1: I guess we just paid our dues, you know. Yeah,
- 45:05Speaker 1: and then once we got you know, we got into
- 45:07Speaker 1: Late Night and we started doing that thing. It definitely
- 45:10Speaker 1: represented a change in our career where we haven't been
- 45:12Speaker 1: able to tour in that same way. So, yeah, everything
- 45:15Speaker 1: that we had done up until that point, it's just
- 45:18Speaker 1: been a blessing. And this is the sort of thing
- 45:19Speaker 1: where we probably had taken it for granted and we'd
- 45:22Speaker 1: be able to do it forever, but you know, here
- 45:23Speaker 1: we are and now, yeah, it's uh, it's just more
- 45:27Speaker 1: of a blessing and just a greater opportunity when we
- 45:29Speaker 1: do get to go out and still touch the fans
- 45:32Speaker 1: in that way.
- 45:33Speaker 9: Now, now, when you decided to write about the altercation
- 45:36Speaker 9: you had request love.
- 45:37Speaker 2: Yeah, back back in the nineties. You have to ask
- 45:39Speaker 2: him if you could speak on that.
- 45:40Speaker 1: No, I didn't have to ask him because he's written
- 45:43Speaker 1: about it in one of his books, and it's the
- 45:46Speaker 1: sort of thing that you know, like, that's my brother,
- 45:48Speaker 1: So I mean, I know if it's good or not,
- 45:50Speaker 1: you know.
- 45:51Speaker 9: And also that's it's like to me, those are best relationships.
- 45:54Speaker 9: Oh yeah, if you can have, if you can fight
- 45:56Speaker 9: and then get over it.
- 45:57Speaker 5: Yeah, hey man, Yeah.
- 45:59Speaker 1: Family, you know, it really takes it takes it takes
- 46:02Speaker 1: love for somebody to to get you that upset, right,
- 46:05Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Only my my loved ones
- 46:08Speaker 1: have ever really been able to get me that ribbed up, right,
- 46:11Speaker 1: So it's it's this there's something in that.
- 46:13Speaker 5: But yeah, you know, I was.
- 46:15Speaker 2: We were all kids at that point.
- 46:17Speaker 22: You know.
- 46:17Speaker 1: Now now I'm an adult, so I would I would,
- 46:19Speaker 1: I would have doubt with that situation a completely different way.
- 46:21Speaker 2: How long did y'all not speak?
- 46:23Speaker 5: I mean we lived together, maybe we didn't speak for
- 46:25Speaker 5: the train ride home, but.
- 46:26Speaker 2: It's like once we got back, and how was that
- 46:32Speaker 2: that had to be uncomfortable? Awkward? Like, bro, yeah it was.
- 46:35Speaker 5: It was definitely. You know it was awkward. It was uncomfortable.
- 46:39Speaker 1: You know, it's the sort of thing that I would
- 46:41Speaker 1: laugh about, you know, almost most immediately, Like that's just
- 46:44Speaker 1: where I come from, you know what I'm saying. You
- 46:46Speaker 1: get into a little thing, you know, we settled it
- 46:48Speaker 1: and then it's funny. But yeah, with in our mayor's case,
- 46:52Speaker 1: it just wasn't you know what I'm saying. But you're like, Noah,
- 46:54Speaker 1: that it wasn't funny like yeah, uh, but yeah, we
- 46:59Speaker 1: were able to you know obviously move past it, and
- 47:02Speaker 1: I think, yeah, we're stronger for it.
- 47:04Speaker 5: People ask me about, you know, how.
- 47:06Speaker 1: We remain together and work together and you know, been
- 47:09Speaker 1: business partners on so many different levels for such a
- 47:11Speaker 1: long time. And I think it's because we got like
- 47:14Speaker 1: that out of the way, you know, like early on,
- 47:17Speaker 1: and be able to you know, just focus on the
- 47:19Speaker 1: art in the business.
- 47:20Speaker 9: You know, for for many years Chapter twelve, doing the work.
- 47:24Speaker 9: What kind of work do we need to do to
- 47:26Speaker 9: find out who we really are? Like what worked for
- 47:29Speaker 9: Black thought?
- 47:30Speaker 1: I think, you know, it's it's confronting, it's confronting you know,
- 47:34Speaker 1: our demons, you know, head on. And this, like I said,
- 47:38Speaker 1: this is this represents the beginning of me you know,
- 47:41Speaker 1: doing doing a lot of that work.
- 47:43Speaker 5: But did it's still you know, very very far more
- 47:46Speaker 5: to go?
- 47:46Speaker 2: Was it Therapy?
- 47:48Speaker 12: Was it?
- 47:48Speaker 14: Yeah?
- 47:49Speaker 1: That's part of it, you know what I'm saying, A
- 47:51Speaker 1: couple's therapy. Uh, you know, therapy you know for myself,
- 47:54Speaker 1: therapy for my children. You know, these are the sort
- 47:58Speaker 1: of things, these are the sort of tools that are
- 48:01Speaker 1: at our disposal to embrace and you know when it's good,
- 48:05Speaker 1: it's great, you know what I'm saying.
- 48:06Speaker 5: So I try to utilize all that.
- 48:08Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm a big proponent of therapy.
- 48:09Speaker 5: Absolutely.
- 48:11Speaker 2: Could you be Black Thought without being from Philly?
- 48:13Speaker 5: No, I don't think so. I don't think so. Yeah,
- 48:16Speaker 5: I think you're so much of of of who I am.
- 48:19Speaker 1: You know, so much of my identity of is associated
- 48:23Speaker 1: with my philadelphianness, you know. Yeah, and it's the sort
- 48:29Speaker 1: of place that I had to grow up, you know,
- 48:32Speaker 1: Black Thought. I couldn't I couldn't have been Black Thought
- 48:35Speaker 1: if I haven't hadn't been working, you know, as long
- 48:38Speaker 1: as I have, and you know, I got a job
- 48:41Speaker 1: in second grade that was a you know, that was
- 48:44Speaker 1: a very Philadelphian thing, right, Yeah.
- 48:46Speaker 5: So I don't think.
- 48:47Speaker 1: I don't think the balance of you know, the love,
- 48:51Speaker 1: but that tough love. I don't think I would have
- 48:52Speaker 1: been able to receive that, you know, from any other community.
- 48:55Speaker 2: And the name black Thought, Yeah, where exactly did that
- 49:00Speaker 2: derived from?
- 49:00Speaker 1: It derived from you know, my my, my time as
- 49:05Speaker 1: a visual artist and uh, you know, just dealing with
- 49:09Speaker 1: paints and you know, just the color palette. I realized that,
- 49:13Speaker 1: you know, so much more went into you know, arriving
- 49:17Speaker 1: at the color black.
- 49:17Speaker 5: You know what I mean, Uh than than one would think.
- 49:20Speaker 1: There's so many different nuances and colors, other colors that
- 49:23Speaker 1: go into you know, arriving at the color black. So
- 49:26Speaker 1: that's sort of what it would it began as, and
- 49:28Speaker 1: over time it's it's evolved into something, you know, that
- 49:32Speaker 1: has taken far, far greater meaning you know both I
- 49:37Speaker 1: guess to me and and to you know, to people
- 49:39Speaker 1: who support me. So yeah, at the time, I didn't think,
- 49:43Speaker 1: you know, I wasn't thinking of black thought as the
- 49:46Speaker 1: concept of people, you know what I'm saying.
- 49:49Speaker 5: But that's sort of what what has come to mean.
- 49:51Speaker 2: Absolutely, yeah, well man, black thoughts book man.
- 49:54Speaker 8: That's right, Cycle Selsycle Sel, We appreciate you for Jordanus said,
- 49:58Speaker 8: what do you want people to get out of this book?
- 50:00Speaker 2: If they if they can get one thing out of it,
- 50:01Speaker 2: what do you want them to get out of this?
- 50:03Speaker 1: You know, if if if one person is able to
- 50:05Speaker 1: see themselves, you know, better understand themselves or better understand
- 50:09Speaker 1: you know, their path, their their lived experience, if this
- 50:13Speaker 1: is going to be you know, an entree into someone
- 50:15Speaker 1: else being able to start to work through their stuff.
- 50:19Speaker 1: And you know, shed some of those layers of of
- 50:21Speaker 1: armor that are no longer useful, you know what I mean,
- 50:25Speaker 1: those layers of callous and and and scar tissue. Then
- 50:28Speaker 1: not yeah, then it's it's it's a win. And I've
- 50:31Speaker 1: already you know, experienced that. You know, I've already had
- 50:34Speaker 1: some of those conversations. So I feel this book has
- 50:36Speaker 1: already been helpful.

- 52:54Speaker 2: it's not a rap album.
- 52:55Speaker 22: Is.
- 52:56Speaker 2: I believe it's instrumentals. I'm not taking that's what that's what.
- 53:02Speaker 2: That's what it says, right, it says reveals, it has
- 53:05Speaker 2: no bars and no boundaries. Yeah, so I believe it's instrumentals.
- 53:10Speaker 9: I'm not mad at it though, And the reason I'm
- 53:12Speaker 9: not mad at it is because Andre three thousand owes
- 53:14Speaker 9: us nothing and it's given us everything. We know who
- 53:17Speaker 9: Andre three thousand is. Would people love to hear a
- 53:20Speaker 9: hip hop solo album from Andre three thousand?

- 55:05Speaker 8: back there publishing.
- 55:06Speaker 2: You got that clip when he was up here.
- 55:08Speaker 4: It was more of of me just evolving as a businessman.
- 55:13Speaker 12: You know.
- 55:14Speaker 5: It was the right thing to do.
- 55:16Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying that it was the right
- 55:17Speaker 4: thing to do in this if it wasn't for like
- 55:19Speaker 4: these people that you know have have helped me with
- 55:23Speaker 4: all of these records.
- 55:24Speaker 5: Everybody.
- 55:24Speaker 4: If there's anything you know what I'm saying that like
- 55:27Speaker 4: like like that that you know, just just doing the
- 55:30Speaker 4: right thing. That's just with the frequency that I'm in
- 55:33Speaker 4: and so that was done two years ago, so it's
- 55:36Speaker 4: not like two years Yeah, two years ago I had
- 55:39Speaker 4: a signed and then the lawyers had to work everything
- 55:41Speaker 4: out because it's not an e it's not a it's
- 55:43Speaker 4: not an easy thing.
- 55:44Speaker 22: Well.
- 55:45Speaker 8: B five was on the way in Miami podcast and
- 55:47Speaker 8: they said they didn't get none of their publishing rights.
- 55:49Speaker 9: Diddy was in the news first decision to return publishing
- 55:52Speaker 9: rights to Bad Boy artists.
- 55:53Speaker 2: Did B five benefit from that? That's a discussion.
- 55:56Speaker 27: We didn't hear anything, We didn't get no calls or
- 55:59Speaker 27: nothing like that. That but with a camera, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 56:05Speaker 27: we went published it too. We were so young at
- 56:07Speaker 27: the time. We didn't understand the business of it. But
- 56:09Speaker 27: you know now it's like looking back, like damn, Like
- 56:12Speaker 27: you know why our names wasn't on the credits, you
- 56:14Speaker 27: know what I mean?
- 56:15Speaker 28: Why?
- 56:15Speaker 5: Why? Why?
- 56:16Speaker 2: Where the percentage is that with a pub at you
- 56:18Speaker 2: know what I mean? Back then, you know, we were thirteen,
- 56:23Speaker 2: there was really no one to step in place and
- 56:25Speaker 2: be like yo, like where's the split sheet? Sat like
- 56:27Speaker 2: make sure he gets this percentage?
- 56:29Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
- 56:30Speaker 2: Maybe did he forgot?
- 56:31Speaker 5: Maybe did he forgot?
- 56:32Speaker 9: B five was on Bad Boy listen, I'm sure Diddy
- 56:34Speaker 9: will return to publishing when he remembers B five was
- 56:37Speaker 9: on Bad Boy.
- 56:38Speaker 2: We just reminded everybody, no disrespect to BE five. But
- 56:41Speaker 2: I don't remember any B five records.
- 56:42Speaker 9: I am almost positive that, you know, when they're sitting
- 56:45Speaker 9: around and they're talking about, you know, bad boy artists
- 56:49Speaker 9: and who should get what? I guarantee you B five, Like, oh,
- 56:52Speaker 9: don't forget about B five, I promise you, so listen. Yeah,
- 56:55Speaker 9: now that they remember, give five publishing back, all right,
- 57:00Speaker 9: the owns day publishing. It had to be like somebody
- 57:01Speaker 9: as an adult because they were kids, so they had
- 57:04Speaker 9: to be an adult that owned it.
- 57:05Speaker 8: They couldn't own it, right, And this is no disrespect
- 57:07Speaker 8: to BE five. And every time you say no disrespect,
- 57:09Speaker 8: that means disrespect. But it's B five publishing worth anything
- 57:12Speaker 8: because I don't remember them having a huge record or
- 57:16Speaker 8: a huge hit. And I could just not know because
- 57:18Speaker 8: I wasn't a BE five fan. But I just don't
- 57:20Speaker 8: know if the value of that publishing, and especially split
- 57:23Speaker 8: with the members, I have no idea. And last that
- 57:25Speaker 8: I just want to say, Patty Leabelle and Cardi B

- 1:00:59Speaker 8: an apartment complex called the Reserve at La Vista for.
- 1:01:03Speaker 2: No reason other than she had bought them. Let's go
- 1:01:05Speaker 2: to WSB channel two for Threeport police.
- 1:01:07Speaker 30: We now know investigators believe fireworks sparked the first flames
- 1:01:11Speaker 30: that grew through this apartment complex, eating through entire rows
- 1:01:15Speaker 30: of units, leaving hundreds homeless.

- 1:01:23Speaker 12: I showed people who.
- 1:01:24Speaker 6: Lived here the mugshots of the two people police say
- 1:01:27Speaker 6: lit the fireworks on the rooftop of the apartment building,
- 1:01:30Speaker 6: Charnell Gunn and Robert Stokes. The complex is called the
- 1:01:34Speaker 6: Reserve at La Vista Walk. The alarms started sounding around
- 1:01:38Speaker 6: ten thirty Friday night.
- 1:01:40Speaker 2: Banging door, get out, it's a fire, there's a fire outside.

- 1:01:47Speaker 6: officers lives here and lost all of his belongings and
- 1:01:50Speaker 6: his cat. We continue to meet new people on the street.
- 1:01:53Speaker 2: Who lost everything.
- 1:01:54Speaker 6: Some like Miles Wilson, were trying to find a place

- 1:02:00Speaker 6: jailed for doing this have a roof in bed tonight,
- 1:02:03Speaker 6: unlike them.

- 1:02:37Speaker 8: the desire for desires, all right. These two desired to
- 1:02:40Speaker 8: do something, and since they had nothing else to do,
- 1:02:42Speaker 8: they decided to go shoot fireworks.

- 1:02:45Speaker 9: I thought to myself, what drug could they have possibly
- 1:02:47Speaker 9: possibly been on? And then it dawned on me. Probably none.

- 1:10:03Speaker 8: talk to my child and let them know, ain't no
- 1:10:05Speaker 8: good gonna come to you if you're not doing right

- 1:10:16Speaker 2: I wouldn't snitch on my kids.
- 1:10:18Speaker 8: But we've had this conversation in my household, and my
- 1:10:22Speaker 8: wife feels like if Logan, who was my nineteen year old,
- 1:10:25Speaker 8: was cheating on his girlfriend, uh, my wife probably wouldn't
- 1:10:29Speaker 8: have f for Logan anymore.
- 1:10:30Speaker 2: She would give my opportunity.
- 1:10:32Speaker 8: She would talk to him, have a conversation with him,
- 1:10:33Speaker 8: and if he continued to do it, my wife wouldn't
- 1:10:36Speaker 8: mess with him. No, more and my wife like she
- 1:10:39Speaker 8: was probably snitch on him. I think my wife would
- 1:10:40Speaker 8: snitch on them, absolutely, positifically. I think my wife would
- 1:10:42Speaker 8: snitch on them. Yeah, absolutely, I think she would. I wouldn't,
- 1:10:45Speaker 8: but yeah, I get it. Would definitely snitch on him
- 1:10:47Speaker 8: if she had a conversation with him he continued to
- 1:10:49Speaker 8: do it, playing with that girl's heartstrings and playing with
- 1:10:51Speaker 8: that girl's heart My wife would definitely.
- 1:10:53Speaker 9: I mean, the reality is, like I said, the infidelity
- 1:10:55Speaker 9: is gonna catch up, Like the infidelity is gonna catch
- 1:10:58Speaker 9: up to you, like you know, I don't know. I
- 1:11:00Speaker 9: never met a person who cheated forever. At some point,
- 1:11:03Speaker 9: the cheating will catch up, you know, to you. And
- 1:11:06Speaker 9: when it does, you know, like I said, I'll just
- 1:11:08Speaker 9: be there to tell my child. I told you so,
- 1:11:10Speaker 9: I don't. I don't condone the cheating in any way,
- 1:11:12Speaker 9: shape or form, just because I know where that leads.
- 1:11:14Speaker 9: I've seen, you know, too many marriages, you know, including
- 1:11:18Speaker 9: my parents. You know, great marriages were not great marriages.
- 1:11:21Speaker 9: But marriage is ruined because of infidelity.
- 1:11:24Speaker 2: Correct, you know? Yeah, so I wouldn't, but I know
- 1:11:26Speaker 2: my wife would. Hello, who's this bella? Hey BELLA, good morning.
- 1:11:29Speaker 11: Good morning, Good morning Bella.
- 1:11:32Speaker 20: Okay, so when I snitch on my tie, on my kid,
- 1:11:35Speaker 20: I'm not snitching all my kids. But at the same time,
- 1:11:38Speaker 20: I'm not going to help you, Like if your girl
- 1:11:40Speaker 20: or your man comes and ask me, I'm not going
- 1:11:41Speaker 20: to say anything. So if they can read between the
- 1:11:43Speaker 20: lines and they pick up on my silence, but I'm
- 1:11:46Speaker 20: not gonna help, I'm not going to snitch.
- 1:11:48Speaker 9: To that, I should say.
- 1:11:49Speaker 8: Okay, yeah, like I said, it's I know for a
- 1:11:52Speaker 8: fact my wife would definitely snitch absolutely positives.
- 1:11:55Speaker 2: I'm not. I'm not gonna stitch it on because my wife,
- 1:11:57Speaker 2: she's not playing the cheating game.
- 1:11:58Speaker 14: I think.
- 1:11:58Speaker 9: I think the dynamics are different and with uh with
- 1:12:00Speaker 9: with with with women involved, you know what I'm saying,
- 1:12:03Speaker 9: because you know, at the end of the day, that's
- 1:12:04Speaker 9: you know, your son's mom, but then you know that's
- 1:12:07Speaker 9: still her.
- 1:12:08Speaker 8: I would assume daughter in law, correct, you know, and
- 1:12:11Speaker 8: she's not. She's not gonna want to see that. She
- 1:12:13Speaker 8: knows what that feels like. She knows what it feels
- 1:12:15Speaker 8: like to be on the receiving end of that. So yeah,
- 1:12:17Speaker 8: I'm sorry she would say something.
- 1:12:18Speaker 2: Danny.
- 1:12:19Speaker 8: Yes, Hey, now you find out that your son is

- 1:12:57Speaker 12: See.
- 1:12:57Speaker 18: The thing is is I was raising an honest system.
- 1:12:59Speaker 18: So so either way, you're not gonna treat nobody else's
- 1:13:02Speaker 18: child like that because I wouldn't want nobody to treat
- 1:13:05Speaker 18: them like that. So I'm teaching my children to be
- 1:13:07Speaker 18: honorable people. So get your life together, because if you don't,
- 1:13:11Speaker 18: I will easy way or hard way.

- 1:13:25Speaker 2: Are you stitching on your son or your daughter?
- 1:13:28Speaker 19: It all depends. I'm not really a big fun of mentioning.
- 1:13:33Speaker 19: But at the same time, I have four sons and
- 1:13:36Speaker 19: they have seen their mother in the past, you know,
- 1:13:39Speaker 19: go through the cheating teams with their dads, and so
- 1:13:44Speaker 19: they know that I'm not with the cheating. But if
- 1:13:48Speaker 19: my son is a good guy and he and he
- 1:13:52Speaker 19: has a girl that's out here doing this and this
- 1:13:54Speaker 19: and that, once, I've had to talk with him and
- 1:13:57Speaker 19: let him know either you leave her or get a
- 1:14:00Speaker 19: taste of her own medicine.
- 1:14:02Speaker 12: You know.
- 1:14:02Speaker 19: Sometimes I mean, it's not okay to cheat, I'm not

- 1:21:51Speaker 32: that I really kind of cut off a lot of
- 1:21:53Speaker 32: emotions and love, you know, from a lot of people.
- 1:21:55Speaker 2: I didn't.
- 1:21:55Speaker 32: I was isolated for a long time before I actually
- 1:21:57Speaker 32: started filming and then coming out of it, I had
- 1:21:59Speaker 32: to kind of I had to get used to being
- 1:22:01Speaker 32: around family members and friends and being normal and talking
- 1:22:04Speaker 32: about regular stuff.
- 1:22:05Speaker 2: It was like it was a whole different thing, and
- 1:22:06Speaker 2: therapy definitely helped me.
- 1:22:07Speaker 8: That's interesting. I mean, he had to play the bad guy,
- 1:22:11Speaker 8: you know, it's not like Michael Michael B. Jordan plays
- 1:22:13Speaker 8: a lot of villain roles.
- 1:22:14Speaker 9: But it's interesting about the kill Manger character is kill
- 1:22:16Speaker 9: Manga wasn't necessarily a.
- 1:22:19Speaker 2: Villain like kill Manga, not really.
- 1:22:21Speaker 9: He just he just felt like Wakanda had all the
- 1:22:24Speaker 9: tools and resources that could have liberated black people globally,
- 1:22:28Speaker 9: and he was absolutely right, and he wanted them to
- 1:22:29Speaker 9: step up and use you know, those tools and resources
- 1:22:32Speaker 9: to help black people all around the globe. He was
- 1:22:35Speaker 9: just willing to, you know, take out whoever didn't agree
- 1:22:38Speaker 9: with him to do about that, to do so when
- 1:22:40Speaker 9: he wasn't necessarily wrong with his intention.
- 1:22:44Speaker 2: Yeah, but he was kind of a villain. Took out
- 1:22:46Speaker 2: I wouldn't call it. It's hard. I wouldn't call.
- 1:22:47Speaker 8: I wouldn't call. I wouldn't call kill Mangoll. He took
- 1:22:49Speaker 8: out child Bolden.
- 1:22:50Speaker 9: He felt like Chad Bolden wasn't fit to be king,
- 1:22:52Speaker 9: but think about it, he was actually through bloodline right
- 1:22:56Speaker 9: rightfully able to challenge for the throne. So in combat
- 1:23:01Speaker 9: he took out Chad with Boseman, and he rightfully became king.
- 1:23:06Speaker 9: So it's you know what, I wouldn't call him the villain.
- 1:23:08Speaker 9: It's now he didn't sneak into Wakandi and cut Chad
- 1:23:10Speaker 9: with throat. No, he did it through ritual combat right
- 1:23:13Speaker 9: and one now we got to jump to bb Rexa.
- 1:23:15Speaker 8: Now bb Rexa had a conversation and she was talking
- 1:23:18Speaker 8: about who she likes more, Nicki Minaj or Cardi b
- 1:23:21Speaker 8: as a rapper.
- 1:23:22Speaker 28: I really do believe this that Niki is one of
- 1:23:25Speaker 28: the best rappers female rappers of all time.
- 1:23:28Speaker 2: She's definitely a lyricist.
- 1:23:30Speaker 12: She writes her own number one, number two. I just
- 1:23:34Speaker 12: feel like she's always.
- 1:23:35Speaker 17: Coming with.
- 1:23:37Speaker 5: Let me give it up for the woman in the
- 1:23:39Speaker 5: rap game period.
- 1:23:40Speaker 28: Let me just say I like Carti because with her
- 1:23:42Speaker 28: personality and I like how the real she is. But
- 1:23:46Speaker 28: like when Nikki, I just feel like the talent, the
- 1:23:51Speaker 28: writing talent, musicality, the artistry, untouchable.
- 1:23:56Speaker 11: Love Cardi, but we also know that Carti is not
- 1:23:58Speaker 11: writing ninety five.
- 1:24:01Speaker 2: That's a regular debate folks have all the time between
- 1:24:04Speaker 2: Nicky and Cardy.
- 1:24:06Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, I heard she called flak for that
- 1:24:09Speaker 8: she did. They they were upset about it. Seemed like
- 1:24:11Speaker 8: she was putting another woman down. I guess, but oh,
- 1:24:13Speaker 8: knock it off.
- 1:24:14Speaker 2: That's hip hop. That's what we do in hip hop
- 1:24:15Speaker 2: and hip hop.
- 1:24:16Speaker 9: We debate, you know, who's better, bottom line, point blank, period,
- 1:24:20Speaker 9: and those same kind The way people are talking about
- 1:24:23Speaker 9: Cardy and Nikki is the same thing people do with
- 1:24:25Speaker 9: Drake and Kendrake, you know, jay Z and nads back
- 1:24:28Speaker 9: in the day. It happens all the time.
- 1:24:29Speaker 5: This is what you do.
- 1:24:30Speaker 2: You debate hip hop.
- 1:24:33Speaker 9: That's equality, right because all I'm all I hear is
- 1:24:36Speaker 9: doing is talking about too dope rappers and who's better.
- 1:24:38Speaker 8: That's hip hop. Yeah, because she didn't put anybody down.
- 1:24:41Speaker 8: She didn't say this person was whack or this person
- 1:24:43Speaker 8: was better. She just says she likes this person because
- 1:24:45Speaker 8: of whatever reason, which is which is fine. And if
- 1:24:47Speaker 8: she said if you're mad because she said, you know,
- 1:24:49Speaker 8: Cardy doesn't right. People say that about Drake, right, They
- 1:24:53Speaker 8: question Drake's pen all the time. Okay, all right, Well,
- 1:24:56Speaker 8: that is your rumor report. Now when we I'm back,
- 1:25:00Speaker 8: Happy birthday to Boosey. Today is Boosy's birthday. We're gonna
- 1:25:03Speaker 8: start to mix off with some Boozy. Let me know
- 1:25:04Speaker 8: what you want to hear. We'll get your request in
- 1:25:06Speaker 8: eight hundred and five eight five, one oh five to
- 1:25:08Speaker 8: one and we'll do that.
- 1:25:09Speaker 13: Next.
- 1:25:09Speaker 2: It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Your
- 1:25:13Speaker 2: mornings will never be the same morning.
- 1:25:16Speaker 8: Everybody is DJ MV Charlamagne the God. We are the
- 1:25:19Speaker 8: Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building,
- 1:25:22Speaker 8: New York City Schools Chancellor David Banks.
- 1:25:25Speaker 2: Welcome, brother, I'm very happy to be here. Good morning
- 1:25:27Speaker 2: to you. Vothe Man. Happy to have you here.
- 1:25:29Speaker 30: Man.
- 1:25:29Speaker 9: If you don't know who David Banks is, he founded
- 1:25:31Speaker 9: one of the most successful and first public schools in
- 1:25:34Speaker 9: the country that serves exclusively young men of color, the Eagle.
- 1:25:38Speaker 2: Academy's right, we'll talk to us about the Eagle Academy.
- 1:25:40Speaker 2: How did that come to lake?
- 1:25:41Speaker 7: Well, listen, I was a member, been a long time
- 1:25:44Speaker 7: member of the one hundred Black Men Organization. It's a national,
- 1:25:48Speaker 7: international actual organization, but started in New York sixty years ago.
- 1:25:53Speaker 7: And uh, you know, we'd always worked to support our
- 1:25:56Speaker 7: kids in our schools and doing the right thing. But
- 1:25:59Speaker 7: when we started really looking at the data around what
- 1:26:01Speaker 7: was happening with young black men, we realized that we
- 1:26:04Speaker 7: needed to do so much more. And so many of
- 1:26:07Speaker 7: us had gone to the Millionaire in March years ago,
- 1:26:10Speaker 7: and coming out of that March, we came away with
- 1:26:13Speaker 7: a commitment that we had to go much deeper. And
- 1:26:15Speaker 7: that March is what really gave birth to the creation
- 1:26:18Speaker 7: of the Eagle Academy for Young Men. It was the
- 1:26:20Speaker 7: first all boys public school in New York City in
- 1:26:24Speaker 7: almost thirty years when we opened it.
- 1:26:26Speaker 23: Not a charter schools, not a private school.
- 1:26:28Speaker 7: It's regular New York City public school that really had
- 1:26:31Speaker 7: as its mission to try to help to enlighten and
- 1:26:34Speaker 7: transform the lives of our young men. And since that time,
- 1:26:38Speaker 7: I was the principal of the school in the Bronx.
- 1:26:41Speaker 7: Since that time, we've opened up an Eagle Academy in
- 1:26:44Speaker 7: every borough in New York. We've got one in Newark,
- 1:26:47Speaker 7: New Jersey when Corey Booker was the mayor, and Nowarky
- 1:26:49Speaker 7: assas to come there.
- 1:26:50Speaker 23: So we've got six schools over three thousand young men.
- 1:26:52Speaker 7: We graduated over three thousand young men and sent them
- 1:26:55Speaker 7: to colleges and universities all around the country, and it's
- 1:26:58Speaker 7: essentially been a beacon in a blueprint what you can
- 1:27:01Speaker 7: do to transform the lives of young men.
- 1:27:03Speaker 8: Do you think they should take out the quote unquote
- 1:27:05Speaker 8: zone school, right, because you know, when I was a
- 1:27:08Speaker 8: kid growing up in Queen's you know, usually the resources
- 1:27:11Speaker 8: were in the quote unquote towns with more money, right right,
- 1:27:14Speaker 8: So that's where everybody tried to go, whether they try
- 1:27:16Speaker 8: to get a fake address, or you know, they wanted
- 1:27:18Speaker 8: to do to Catholic school. I know my parents wanted
- 1:27:20Speaker 8: me to go to Edison or even Van Buren because
- 1:27:23Speaker 8: those schools were better than my zone school. So do
- 1:27:24Speaker 8: you think they should get rid of the quote unquote
- 1:27:26Speaker 8: zone school where they make you go to depending on
- 1:27:28Speaker 8: your zip code.
- 1:27:29Speaker 7: Well, first of all, right, now we have a lot
- 1:27:32Speaker 7: more choice of movement, particularly at the high school level.
- 1:27:36Speaker 7: Most kids do not have to simply go to their
- 1:27:38Speaker 7: zone school. There's a lot more movement where you don't
- 1:27:41Speaker 7: have to change your address, you don't have to do
- 1:27:43Speaker 7: all the other stuff to kind of sneak around the system.
- 1:27:47Speaker 7: We offer kids lots of other opportunities, but the reality
- 1:27:50Speaker 7: is that what we have to do is to ensure
- 1:27:53Speaker 7: that every school is a high quality school, so you
- 1:27:56Speaker 7: don't even need to do all of that sneaking around
- 1:27:59Speaker 7: in the first place, and that's where the real work
- 1:28:02Speaker 7: comes in.
- 1:28:02Speaker 8: One of my problems with a lot of the schools
- 1:28:04Speaker 8: is since you were a school chancellor, maybe you can
- 1:28:06Speaker 8: give us some insight on it. I feel like a
- 1:28:08Speaker 8: lot of the curriculums are old, right, And the reason
- 1:28:10Speaker 8: I'm saying that is a lot of you know, when
- 1:28:12Speaker 8: we were kids and our parents were kids, people made
- 1:28:15Speaker 8: money differently, right, But now a lot of these kids
- 1:28:18Speaker 8: are becoming millionaire wealthy, you know, Damn they're billionaires off
- 1:28:21Speaker 8: of things that I don't know if school teaches, whether
- 1:28:24Speaker 8: it's the social media bust and how to do things
- 1:28:26Speaker 8: on social media, whether it's little things as like you know,
- 1:28:29Speaker 8: these car wrapping companies that wrap the cars, and like
- 1:28:32Speaker 8: people are making millions off of that, or if it's
- 1:28:34Speaker 8: real estate or if it's whatever it may be. You know,
- 1:28:38Speaker 8: I don't see a lot of schools jumping in to
- 1:28:40Speaker 8: those curriculums. It seems like those curriculums are outdated and ancient,
- 1:28:44Speaker 8: and a lot of these students, it bought. It is
- 1:28:46Speaker 8: boring to them because what they're seeing online or what
- 1:28:48Speaker 8: they want to do is like, I don't want to
- 1:28:50Speaker 8: do this in school.
- 1:28:51Speaker 2: I want to do what I enjoy doing. And I
- 1:28:53Speaker 2: see a lot of times that you're not seeing that
- 1:28:54Speaker 2: in those schools.
- 1:28:55Speaker 7: Absolutely, brothers, So I couldn't agree with you more. It's
- 1:28:58Speaker 7: part of the reason why one of them major things
- 1:29:00Speaker 7: I focused on was the reimagining of the school experience
- 1:29:03Speaker 7: for kids. You can't do school like we did at
- 1:29:08Speaker 7: one hundred years ago, correct, even fifty years ago, I
- 1:29:11Speaker 7: twenty five years ago, right, Like the world has changed
- 1:29:14Speaker 7: and it is changing rapidly before our eyes, and it
- 1:29:18Speaker 7: is a major challenge for a bureaucracy as large as
- 1:29:22Speaker 7: a New York City school system, which is the largest
- 1:29:24Speaker 7: school system in the nation, right and by far it's
- 1:29:28Speaker 7: the largest.
- 1:29:29Speaker 2: It doesn't it's the most complicated too.
- 1:29:30Speaker 7: It is absolutely the most pop complicated the work that
- 1:29:34Speaker 7: we do. But it can change, but it needs vision.
- 1:29:38Speaker 7: It needs leadership that is courageous and bold, and that's
- 1:29:41Speaker 7: what we are.
- 1:29:41Speaker 23: Trying to do.
- 1:29:42Speaker 7: So you know, one of the things that we are
- 1:29:44Speaker 7: leaning into now we call bold futures creating career connected
- 1:29:49Speaker 7: learning for kids.
- 1:29:51Speaker 23: That idea that you just raised that school is boring.
- 1:29:54Speaker 7: That's the major reason why kids give up on themselves
- 1:29:56Speaker 7: this and it's not I'm just doing school. There's a
- 1:29:58Speaker 7: difference between schooling and educating. Educating really connects to relevance.
- 1:30:03Speaker 7: Why are we doing this? Kids ask that all the time.
- 1:30:06Speaker 7: Even when we were in school, we always said why
- 1:30:08Speaker 7: are we doing this?
- 1:30:09Speaker 2: Lesson?
- 1:30:09Speaker 7: And oftentimes you did not get good answers to those questions.
- 1:30:13Speaker 7: We're helping to provide much better answers. I created a
- 1:30:16Speaker 7: couple of programs that we're leaning into right now, our
- 1:30:19Speaker 7: modern youth apprenticeship programs and our future Ready programs. What
- 1:30:24Speaker 7: those are our career connected programs. To some degree that
- 1:30:27Speaker 7: what we all remembered as CTE programs, right except that
- 1:30:31Speaker 7: the old CTE programs were about or automotive shop, building cars,
- 1:30:36Speaker 7: doing wood shop. The career connected learning today is not
- 1:30:40Speaker 7: your grandfather's CTE stuff. Kids are coming out now with
- 1:30:44Speaker 7: the opportunity to step into real jobs even if they
- 1:30:47Speaker 7: didn't go to college. They can make six figure, six figure.
- 1:30:50Speaker 23: Salaries coming right out of high school.
- 1:30:52Speaker 7: So we're building a range of partnerships with the aviation industry,
- 1:30:58Speaker 7: the biotech industry, financial industry. JP Morgan Chase is paying
- 1:31:03Speaker 7: kids up to twenty five dollars an hour while they're
- 1:31:06Speaker 7: still in high school, where they go to school a
- 1:31:08Speaker 7: certain number of days and then they're actually working in
- 1:31:11Speaker 7: the industry for at least two to three days, where
- 1:31:14Speaker 7: we're merging school and the real world at the same time.
- 1:31:18Speaker 7: Then kids understand why you need to be focused in
- 1:31:20Speaker 7: this science class. It connects to something that's real and meaningful.
- 1:31:24Speaker 7: So we got thousands of kids that are doing that.
- 1:31:26Speaker 7: I would invite you to come and join us, you know,
- 1:31:28Speaker 7: come and visit what we're doing at some of these schools.
- 1:31:31Speaker 7: But my goal is to scale this work to very
- 1:31:34Speaker 7: significant levels so that kids get real world experiences. Kids
- 1:31:39Speaker 7: have an opportunity to get not only exposed of, but
- 1:31:41Speaker 7: to get paid while they're in high school and so
- 1:31:45Speaker 7: it prepares them. They get all the credentials that they
- 1:31:47Speaker 7: need when they graduate. So when they graduate and they
- 1:31:49Speaker 7: get a diploma, you can't have it being an empty
- 1:31:52Speaker 7: diploma that doesn't mean anything.
- 1:31:53Speaker 23: I want them to be able to.
- 1:31:54Speaker 7: Go to college if they want to go to college,
- 1:31:56Speaker 7: but I also want them to have the credentials to
- 1:31:58Speaker 7: step right into the world work.
- 1:32:01Speaker 23: We're doing that right now for all the reasons that
- 1:32:03Speaker 23: you just laid up.
- 1:32:04Speaker 9: You don't have an organization called the Mental Wealth Life.
- 1:32:06Speaker 9: And one of our biggest things that we want to
- 1:32:08Speaker 9: do is we want to get social and emotional learning
- 1:32:11Speaker 9: in public schools K through you know twelve.
- 1:32:13Speaker 2: What are they doing? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:32:15Speaker 7: First of all, let me tell you we would love
- 1:32:17Speaker 7: to work with you on that because there's a way
- 1:32:20Speaker 7: for us to take that work and really and really
- 1:32:22Speaker 7: scale it up, and particularly coming off of the pandemic,
- 1:32:26Speaker 7: there's a lot of work that is being done in
- 1:32:28Speaker 7: our schools in support of social emotional learning. You know,
- 1:32:33Speaker 7: I visited a school in Staten Island, like maybe in
- 1:32:35Speaker 7: my within my first two weeks of being in this position.
- 1:32:38Speaker 7: The school designed a wall and the wall represents and
- 1:32:43Speaker 7: it lights up. It's a wide range of the feelings
- 1:32:45Speaker 7: that you're having at any given moment in time, and
- 1:32:49Speaker 7: they designed it as a fun wall and you get
- 1:32:52Speaker 7: a chance.
- 1:32:53Speaker 2: To kind of walk along this wall.
- 1:32:55Speaker 7: There's a little path that you walk through and you
- 1:32:59Speaker 7: get to touch different parts of the world that reflect
- 1:33:01Speaker 7: the feelings that you're having and that moment, and the
- 1:33:04Speaker 7: folks in that school so get to observe that and
- 1:33:09Speaker 7: figure out who they need to try and support who's
- 1:33:11Speaker 7: feeling a certain way, because you have to remember, kids
- 1:33:13Speaker 7: don't always they won't always articulate how they're feeling at
- 1:33:18Speaker 7: a given moment. But this is another way for them
- 1:33:21Speaker 7: to kind of physically express where they are. They're feeling anger,
- 1:33:24Speaker 7: they're feeling happiness, or they're feeling joy, they're feeling sadness,
- 1:33:27Speaker 7: Like what is it that they're feeling? Because ultimately that
- 1:33:30Speaker 7: tips you into a place where somebody needs to sit
- 1:33:34Speaker 7: with you and say I'm here.
- 1:33:36Speaker 2: That's right, I'm here.
- 1:33:38Speaker 8: You know, next year when I do my Mental Wealth
- 1:33:40Speaker 8: ex Vocal, we just had it, I want to bring
- 1:33:42Speaker 8: like two hundred kids.
- 1:33:43Speaker 9: Man, we got to figure that out. How we just
- 1:33:45Speaker 9: have two hundred kids in attended charlam Mane. We could
- 1:33:48Speaker 9: do two thousand kids. Oh, I mean we did three
- 1:33:51Speaker 9: thousand people this year, right, you know, but I want
- 1:33:52Speaker 9: to have like always kids there. But I want to
- 1:33:55Speaker 9: do something specifically when we just have a bunch of
- 1:33:57Speaker 9: kids from New York just just there.
- 1:33:59Speaker 7: Brother, you all you got to do is let me
- 1:34:01Speaker 7: know where and when, and we will absolutely make it happen.
- 1:34:04Speaker 7: We would love to be in partnership with you on this.
- 1:34:06Speaker 7: When we go to the schools, the Mari and I,
- 1:34:08Speaker 7: we talk to kids. Mental health is one of the
- 1:34:12Speaker 7: major things that kids talk about, not just for themselves,
- 1:34:15Speaker 7: but for their friends, right because they care about their
- 1:34:18Speaker 7: friends and they can see the stuff that sometimes that
- 1:34:20Speaker 7: their friends are going through. And if we work in partnership,
- 1:34:23Speaker 7: we have an opportunity to truly impact the lives of
- 1:34:25Speaker 7: just let's do it.
- 1:34:26Speaker 23: Let's do it, man, I'm with you.
- 1:34:28Speaker 2: You have it, James. We appreciate you for joining us.
- 1:34:31Speaker 8: Thank you so much, brother, Thank you New York City
- 1:34:33Speaker 8: Schools Chancellor, and thank you brother. Now, Charlamaane, you've got
- 1:34:35Speaker 8: a positive note.
- 1:34:36Speaker 9: I do, Man, I have a positive note. And it's
- 1:34:38Speaker 9: really simple. Normalize talking highly about yourself. I rate no
- 1:34:44Speaker 9: small talk to self. Okay, normalized talking highly about yourself.
- 1:34:49Speaker 2: You deserve it. Breakfast club bites you don't finish
- 1:34:52Speaker 23: For y'all done,
