Bonnet Pride ( Ms Pat found er of VP Records)

it is Tuesday. It is. To think about it for a second, almost forgot. I thought it was Monday. To correct you, like today's Monday. It's definitely Tuesday. How was your long Maorial weekend? Yeah, I'm all right now. You know, I'm in Oklahoma and it's been a one hundred years since the Tulsa massacre, so I know we'll talk about that this morning. Oh. Yes, it's been a lot of events around um the Tulsa masket this weekend. You participated in anything, I'm sure that's why you out there right. Yeah.

It started yesterday with the candlelight vigil, because the Tulsa massacre actually started at ten pm May thirty first and went on for about twenty four hours. They said, it's one of the worst cases white supremacy, a massacre that happened in America. Yeah, and it happened. It happened twice and Tulsa from that mistaken Yeah, it happened twice. There's two different times, two different times they built up their

infrastructure only to have it destroyed. But white supremacy. They said up to three hundred lives were lost, even though officially it was thirty seven people according to records that were killed. But they said a lot of the missing bodies were dumped in the nearby river and Arkansas River. But there are three survivors from that night who are still alive. By the way, Yes, they all over one hundred,

right then they all testified recently. Yeah, because obviously it was one hundred years ago, so they would have to be over a hundred. Duh. Yeah. One thing, it's a little bit of matter, Okay, all right, Jesus. But I mean that is ran though, that you have three people all over one hundred, who all lived through something like that. You know. What I mean is imagine just what that stays with you forever, just having witnessed that one woman, Viola Fletcher, SE's one hundred and seven years old now

and never been compensated for it. That's the other. It's never been compensated. They said, imagine if you were starving and they gave you a picture of some food. Lord, have mercy, Lord have mercy instead of actual food. All these promises. So we'll talk about that this morning, of course. How was your weekend? Weekend was cool? I went to South Carolina. I was in South Carolina for like twenty four thirty six hours something like that. So that's always refreshing.

And then you know, just later on it did nothing. Caught up on all my talk shows. I caught up on Zweed this weekend. I watched a little bit of Sam Jay And what else did I do? I was just reading mind of my business, that's all. Yeah. I saw a little Sam j. Also, I want you to go see Donna La Carolines, Dona Arlings. I saw you. I saw you. I saw you in the paper too.

I'm sure we'll talk about that in Rumor Report. Sure, I think all you in page six they made it a way bigger deal than it was, but it was funny with a couple of yes but radio icons. Yes, Miss Jones and Wendy Williams showed up towards the end of the show and surprised everyone. Eddie, we got any guest today? No guests today? Okay, no guests, So we got front page news next. What we got you, Well, let's talk about this TUSA massacre and what happened one

hundred years ago today. All right, it's the world most dangerous want to show to breakfast club Yep, it's the world knows dangerous wanting to show to breakfast clubs. Charlomagne and God Angela y dj Envy is off today It's time for front Praige news. What we got you, Well, employers are allowed to require that employees to take a COVID nineteen vaccine, and they can also legally provide incentives

like cash to workers who do take it. Yeah, they're starting to walk a lot with just a whole vaccination marketing promotion thing, though, I mean everything is vaccine. Something. I was driving in I saw a sign that said vaccum scratch. People say vaccine wax, Like everything I gotta be vaccine something vaccine scratch. Yeah, I don't want to shame. I don't want to shame people who don't get vaccinated either. It's a personal decision. I don't think anybody should force

you to do it. Yeah, which everything don't have to be a vaccum something, is all I'm saying. They do make it harder though, if you don't get it. They make it really hard to move around and do certain things, you know, go places if you're not vaccinated. So I think that alone is incentive. It's also kind of not fear to people who got it early on, and now there's all these incentives, like I didn't get a lottery ticket, Well, you got it because you did what you thought was right.

All right. Now, let's talk about the Tulsa massacre that happened in one hundred years ago today. It started last night May thirty first, and then went on for about twenty four hours. Now, there are still three people who are alive that remember the Tulsa massacre. That's when angry white male I set out undercover nightfall and Tulsa, Oklahoma to kill black people and to destroy black America's economic mecca. It was over thirty streets in Greenwood and Tulsa. That

was a thriving black community. They called it the Black Wall Street. And it's been one hundred years since that massacre happened. Over three hundred people were killed, even though on record it's only thirty seven people and one hundred and seven year old Viola Fletcher is actually speaking out about what that night was like. The night of the massacre, I was awakened by my family. I was sold. We had to leave, and that was it. I will never forget the violence of the white mom when we live

for our home. I still see black men sin being shocked, Black bodis line in the street. I still smell smoke and see far I still see black businesses being burned. Here the screams I have lived through the massacre every day. Country may forget this history, but I cannot. I'll tell you what if they can't get reparations for what happened in Toulta, no hope for the rest of us, because that was so egregious and obvious, and it was just a hundred years ago and folks are still alive from

that massacre. They can't use their typical excuses, Oh you can't pay goals, so, oh you weren't a slave. Those folks are still alive and still have not gotten compensation. Right, there were about nine thousand black people who lived in and around Green With Avenue before the massacre. They said at least twelve hundred and fifty black homes were destroyed, in addition to other commercial businesses. So it was a

bunch of different factors like racism. Of course, it was a landlust by the railroads and industrialists for which the community sat, jealousy over the success of black people, expansion of the Ku Klux Klan, and the form of Tulsa Tribune. So there you haven't. Yeah, I just read an article that Germany paid Nambia one point three billion for crimes committed by Germany and what is now Nambia. So it's really no excuse not to compensate, you know, the people

who lived through the Massaca and Tulsa. And I was watching the local news here because I'm in Tulsa right now. They said Joe Biden is supposed to be coming here today around one pm. For what I mean, there's a lot of events. Yeah, I'm saying, but it's like you're the president. That's what I'm saying to your president of

the United States of America. If you show up to places like that, it should be because you're actually going to do something, not for photo ops and just to say you were there and tell us how bad the crime was. We know how bad the crime was, but what are you going to do about it? Yeah, I mean, there's all these services happening today, So I'm just praying

and hoping that as they're bringing more attention. I was watching the news yesterday and they were saying how there was a lot of shame and even discussing it, and that's why a lot of people don't learn about it in school, because no one wanted to really discuss it. It

It was like a shameful part of history. You know, America's got a lot of those America's got a lot of you know, trauma that they called the people that I'm sure that they don't want to discuss the same reason they don't want the sixteen nineteen project in schools. All right, Well that is your front page news. And you know the Washington will just beat the seventy sixers yesterday, so they lead the series three to one, and the

Jazz beat the Memphis Grizzlies. Utah leads that series three to one, and of course our Brooklyn Nuts are going to be playing tonight. They're actually leading that series against the Celtics three to one, and the Trail Blazers versus the Denver Nuggets that's tied at two and two. Yeah, I don't think the Wizard is not leading the series in Philly Arty. Oh no, Phillies. I'm sorry, Phillies leading Phillies leading through to one. Okay, now they're leading through

to one. Got you got you? Got you all right? Get it off your chests one, one hundred and five and five one oh five one. If you got something you want to get off your chests all if you want to simply tell us why you're blessed, reach out and touch us right now. It's the world most dangerous. Want to show to breakfast club, the breakfast club. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether

you're man. Hear from you on the breakfast club. You got something on your mom Yeah, it's the world most dangerous. Want to show the breakfast club. Who's this yo? Charlotte Man, tid Peace King, how are you doing? Brother? I'm in a perpetual state of struggle. That's not what I called the violet Listen. I like that answer because it was an honestanding. Yes, an understands it. Don't take it as a statement of sorrow. Man, you gotta struggle to move forward.

I mean just answering the question. You gotta feel your fields. Brother, I'm not mad. Just don't stay there. But what's happening that black? Okay? Hey if Angeline, so listen. I'm of the belief, based on truth, that if we would, if we would teach accurate history and accurate civics in this country, we would have no need or not even be compelled

to teach critical race theory. And it's that reason that I questioned the value of critical race theories, because a critical study of the accurate assessment of the facts in this country, or what how this country has behaved in a negative and positive way for its citizens would give you what you need to an honest study and delivery

of history and civics. So I hope that at some point this becomes more of a topic of conversation on your broadcast, because while I don't I'm not knocking its existence right now, I am saying that it's being put in place that has much more value, and that's a that's a critical study of the accurate assessment of facts of history and civics in this country so that we can move forward. But but I mean, no, I agree with you. But that's why you need critical race theory.

You need critical race theory because you know that the accurate history isn't being told. Well, I'm saying what we need is correct teaching of history and civics and push harder for that so that you don't put another label on top of it. Is then being compelled to put another label on top of that. I see what you're saying. And let me say this as I exit out. I've known about them, the Master and Tulsa since I was the summer before I turned six, and that goes back

to the seventies. And I knew some of those older people because I had family down there. They were in their seventies, they were in their twenties when when it happened to them, But they were in their seventies when I met them. Do you know they still haven't had their insurance claims paid out. That's discreet. Yeah, I mean that's what they that's what they're fighting for now. I agree with you, brother, manum, that's the minimum word. Thank you, brother.

I get it off your chest. If you want to call us right now and tell us why you're upset off you want to tell us why you're blessed, just reach out in touch one one hundred and five A five one oh five one.

Start off your morning the right way. Just reach out and touches. We got rumor report coming up you. Yeah, since we're talking about weight loss, let's

talk about Raven Simone. She's lost twenty eight pounds and for some reason, people are upset about her post. We'll tell you what it is, all right, we'll discuss It's the world most dangerous want to show to breakfast club. This is the rumor report with Angela. Years now, Naomi Yosaka has withdrawn from playing in the French Open, and she said it's because of her mental health. She said, the truth is I have suffered long bouts of depression since the US Open in twenty eighteen, and I have

had a really hard time coping with that. Anyone that knows me knows I am introverted in Anyone that has seen me at tournaments will notice that I'm often wearing headphones as that helps dumb my social anxiety. Though the tennis press has always been kind to me, and I want to apologize to all the cool journalists who I may have hurt. I am not a natural public speaker and get huge waves of anxiety before I speak to

the world's media. I get really nervous and find it stressful to always try to engage and give you the best answers I can. So here in Paris, I was already feeling vulnerable and anxious, so I thought it was better to exercise self care and skip the press conferences. I announced it preemptively because I do feel like the rules are quite outdated in parts, and I wanted to highlight that man drop on a cool box from Naomi Osaka. I feel a million percent. I don't give a damn.

Staying healthy is the most important thing that we all can do, and I'm glad that people are taking their mental health. That's serious. There's nothing more exhausting than being in your own head being overwhelmed by everything around you. I respect her for unplugging and dealing with the consequences of that unplugging. Well. She had to pay fifteen thousand dollars fine for refusing to attend mandatory post match press conferences at the French Open, and she withdrew from the

tournament on Monday because of that depression. In that post that I read to you now, so a Peers Morgan was going in on her and he was calling her a brat for refusing to speak to media in order to protect her mental health, and he also says she took a page out of the playbook of Meg and Harry. Yeah, somebody tells you they they're dealing with mental health issues and you respond by calling them a brat way to

go up here, that's the way to do it. And she's like, she just gave this whole thing about what she's been dealing with, about her anxiety and her mental health, and then he bullies her for that. She's what twenty three years old, and it's not like she was losing one. Hey. I respected for unplugging and dealing with the consequences of that unplugging that fine is just an investment in her mental health. That's the way I look at it. I

respect it, all right. Blair Underwood and his wife, desire DaCosta, have put out a joint statement about their divorce. They are calling it quits. They've been married for twenty seventy years. They said it would be they would continue to put their kids the best interests first. According to People magazine, they said, after a tremendous amount of thought, prayer, and work on ourselves individually and collectively, we have come to the conclusion to end our marriage that began twenty seven

years ago. It has truly been a beautiful journey. Okay, I know that sucks. I saw them together one time when I was in New Orleans eating at Naows. They're both very nice. You know, I wonder we get you to that point after twenty seven years, because you would think that like, after twenty seven years, there's nothing you can't work through. So I wonder to get you to that point. Well you just got I'm out all right now.

Raven Simone and her weight loss, let's discuss this. She's thirty five years old and she shared a video celebrating the fact that she lost twenty eight pounds pounds down. Check out the chin, babe. I got a whole different face going off. Just so you guys know, I am twenty eight pounds down. We started a little exercise journey together and we're still filming it. We're gonna share it with you guys as soon as it's all done. But I think it's to say it's kind of like transformative.

I mean, you see that jawline. Know right now it looks like I have a neck. You congratulation to her. I could stand there lose about fifteen my damn self. It was her and her wife, Miranda Pramian Maday. And you know people some people were not happy about her, you know, being excited about her journey to weight loss. What I saw people where yes, they said that her remarks were triggering and a fitting example of diet culture's effect on society. Eat it here. We're not the UFOs coming,

man terrestrials coming to bring some ballots. Why are you mad at somebody because they're celebrating their weight loss journey? How could that trigger someone losing weight? She also had said that she's going to be doing a forty eight hour fast and there's nothing wrong with that. It's okay, it's your body, And a lot of times when people do fast it is also because they're trying to give their organs a break from having to break down food.

So it's a good thing to do at times if you choose to do that, How could somebody looking trigger you in the next I guess if you have issues with food and weight loss and things like that. Oh, if you can't lose weight, like yeah, I guess if you have like some sort of trauma with your own weight loss or lack of weight loss, weight problems, what

are the case they hearing other people talk about. I guess it could be triggering for some And it was interesting nobody got mad at Will Smith for that, and he's been showing off his whole fitness progress and new clips. After he discussed how he gained weight. I didn't see anybody mad at him. Well, I haven't seen anything since Will Smith posted that he had a dad bought so I guess more people can relate to that. Right, you didn't see the video of him and his briefs on

a rotating platform. Yeah, but that's the one way he was saying that he needs to lose weight. But it's different from men and women though, right Like, you never ask a woman, you never talk about a woman's weight, right Like things like that. It's like a rule, it's like her asient thing. It's different from men and women. The rules are kind of different. That don't mean she can't talk about her own weight. I agree. I'm just saying that's the other perspectives that I've heard before. Why

are we even debating with silly people think? I don't know, it's just silly. Come on. I mean, she's excited about the fact that she's lost weight, and there's nothing wrong with that. It's been a journey for her exactly all right now. Michael Jordan recently donated one million dollars to more House, and that is to advance and support journalism

and sports at more House. The school's journalism program originally launched following a donation from Spike Lee, and now they have released a statement thanking Michael Jordan for that donation, stating more House is grateful to Michael Jordan and Jordan Brand for an investment in the education of talented men of color who will ensure this equity, balance and truth and the way sports stories are framed and the way the black experience is contextualized within American history. Dropping a

clue mass from Michael Jordan. I like hearing stuff like that, stuff like that, That's what inspires me. Howard University has rolled out of Chadwick inspired master class. Chadwick Boseman. He wanted to get Howard University students up to speed on the entertainment business early, so he had this idea to do this master class. But the university is now going to roll out a master class template for the Chadwick A. Boseman College of Fine Arts that's inspired by Chadwick Boseman himself.

He presented that idea and concept to head Hancho's before he passed Wow, dropping a clue buzz of Chatwick Boseman topcareliner's own rest in peace, good brother. All right, and just tell y'all know Felicia Rashad, who was just named the new dean of the Fine Arts College, will also help shape that. So everything is in good hands, all right, and that is your rumor reports. All right, we got front page news coming up next year. What we're talking about, Oh,

teaching masturbation in the first grade. What do you think about? Oh Lord, come on aliens UFOs. We need you, baby, we need you now. It's the Breakfast Club. So Breakfast Club, your morning's will never be the same. Do you want to elevate your sleep right now? Save up to three hundred dollars on top rated brands like Sillies and Sleepies at Mattress Firm.

It's Tuesday, but it feels like a Monday. It's time for front page news. What we got you, Well, let's talk about the shooting that just happened and this was in Florida. Authorities have released new surveillance footage of the suspects in the Sunday morning shooting that left two people dead and

twenty one people injured. On Sunday morning, there's a video clip with three suspects who police say open fire on a crowd outside Elmula banquet Hall. They did find the vehicle that the suspects used in the shooting. That vehicle was submerged in a canal and, according to reports that have been reported stolen two weeks ago. So they are saying it was a release party for a local rap artist. That's what the banquet hall was hosting when gunfire erupted

around twelve thirty am. How many people it was twenty one people injured and two people killed. I heard nothing about that until just now. Yeah, two twenty six year old men were killed at the scene. Please have not released their identities, but one man said his son, Clayton Dillitt the third was killed in the shooting. So our condolences go out to the family of Clayton Dillett the third. So what is it matter? Shootings don't move or headlines no more? Because I swear I did not see that

anywhere the bogs had dance. Yeah, I mean I've seen it on the news all weekend. All right. Now, pairs are very upset. And this is at Dalton. It's a very ritzy's private school in New York City. Their first grade is we're learning about masturbation in class now. A teacher at the Dalton school reportedly showed students a video from the cartoon series Amaze. A little boy in the video is asking about erections. Howcome my penis gets big

sometimes and points up in the air. That's called an erection. Sometimes I touch my penis because it feels good. Sometimes when I'm in my bath or when Mom puts me to bed, I like to touch my volva two. You have a clitterist there, Kayla. That probably feels good to touch, the same way Keith's penis feels good when he touches it. But have you ever noticed that older kids and grown ups don't touch their private parts in public. It's okay to touch yourself and see how different body parts feel,

but it's best to only do it in private. What do you think as a parent, what do you think? This is first grade? I feel like you know they're they're planting seeds and kids heads when they do stuff like that. Because first grade, I was not thinking about sex or masturbation. But after that video, A damn sure don't want to play with no toys no more? You know what I mean? Is there is there a reason for them even playing that video? Like did the kids

asked for that? The parents kept their kids masturbating? Like, what was the point of that in first grade? I don't know when do kids start wondering about their bodies and noticing, Like when do kids start, boys start getting erections and girls start touching themselves. That's a great question. Did you know my mother told them post I'm paying a mother told the Post, I'm paying fifty thousand dollars to these a holes to tell my kid not to

let her grandfather hug her when he sees her. Because a lot of this is also about consent, right, and the students are reportedly taught not to let their parents or grandparents touch them without asking for a mission first. Well, hug right, it too far. UFOs, aliens extraterrestrials. You know Barrock said that UFOs exist, right, you know they're presenting it in front of the Senate this month. Okay, we need them now because everybody's lost their mind. I'm serious,

everybody's lost their mind. Man. Is it the age thing though, or is it the actual teaching of masturbation? I just think first grade. In first grade, I meant it don't bother me. I just think that you're playing seeds in kid's head when they're probably not even thinking about that kind of stuff in first grade. You know, if kids have questions, then you answer the questions for them. But why are you just volunteering this information to them in

first grade? Yes? I wonder when then they got the little boy humble bragging little boys like why did he get big? That's where you got triggered. Shut up, just say it's like, why don't you just say hard? Why do you say you got big? Because you probably they're trying to be politically correct against as their kids. I

don't know. Man. Look, I'm reading this article all about when do kids start masturbating and how to respond when that does happen, And they said the majority of kids discover their genitals and the pleasure they can bring by age six. Right, I think kids are a lot more advanced we give them credit for it, because I didn't start math to being until in my teens. Now, I was definitely mass man before that. But I'm sure that you wondered what an erection was younger and right. I mean,

I don't remember either. But according to reports they're saying around by the age of six, a lot of kids have already discovered things. I would just hope that if schools are doing stuff like that, they're asking the parents permission before they just you know, put that in my kid's brains, like I would want to slip to go out there says, hey, this is what we want to teach on such and such day. You know, do you give your permis your kids permission to you know, indulge?

That is early for sex. I didn't get textils in high school, so it does seem a little crazy. I think high schools a little late. That's a little late. So many things value, especially when you got the teen you know, rates of pregnancy, ye, high school might be a Lloyd the middle ground. All right, well that is your front page news now. I know. We had another discussion. We wanted to have the discussion. Um, we wanted to talk about wearing bonnets in public. I saw that this

turned into a huge thing over the weekend. I saw a lot of people are weighing in on this. I still applies did a post about women wearing bonnets. Then I saw Monique actually did a post about it, and um, I think we had that audio. But I saw so many of our young sisters and head bonnets, scarves, slippers, pajamas, blankets wrapped around them. And this is how they have shown up to the airport. Not just at the airport.

I've been seeing in a store at the mall. And the questions that I'm having to you, my sweet babies, when did we lose pride and representing ourselves? When did we step away of let me make sure unpresentable when I leave my home. What do you think about that? Wearing a bonnet to the airport? And niggas be tired? What you mean people be tired? Man? People be needing rest, Like people just want to get on the plane and take their pillow and go to sleep. I don't know.

And it depends what time of day it is. It does if it's early in the morning. Early in the morning, I see somebody with a bonnet. I'm not tripping, I'm not tripping period. But I don't know, what do you think. I don't need dramas you wear bonnets. It's interesting though, that, like I guess, even the concept of like our culture, what we wear out and what's considered being dressed up and back in the day they wear suits everywhere, and now we kind of wear sweatpants and everything everywhere. I'm

definitely wearing a suit to go to the airport. But let's see what you guys thinking. I'll tell you what I think when we come back. Eight hundred and five eight five one five one, Call us up. Call in right now at your opinion to the Breakfast Club top breaking down. Eight hundred five five one five one to Breakfast Club. Yeah, mister world, dads want to show the Breakfast Club. Charlemagne and God Angelie dj Envy is off today and we're discussing head bonnets and pajamas. Talk to

him me. Yes. And Monique had some comments about wearing those bonnets into the airport. Here's what she said. But I saw so many of our young sisters and head bonnets, scarves, slippers, pajamas, blankets wrapped around them, and this is how they are showing up to the airport. Not just at the airport. I've been sending in a store at the mall. And the questions that I'm having to you, my sweet babies,

when did we lose pride and representing ourselves? When did we step away of let me make sure unpresentable when I leave my home? What do we think about this? ANGELI? Um, you know what. I wouldn't do it personally, but not to the airport. Maybe if I was like going outside or going to the supermarket. Maybe not even this. I probably lee would wrap my hair and put a scarf. I would wear a scarfe before I would wear a bonnet. I'll say that much like I would put a scarf on,

but not necessarily a bonnet. But I really don't judge people who do it. I personally wouldn't. But I never looked at somebody and been like, I can't believe she left the house like that. Yeah, I thought about it during the break. I don't care. I can understand what Monique is coming from. She's an old gee. She wants to see the young ands carrying themselves the way she would. But you can't expect you from other people. But I don't care bonnets to find pajamas. You know, I might

say that's a bit much. You know, personally, I've never seen nobody with pajamas on at the airport. Have you you have, yes, I definitely have. I wear sweats all the time, and basically I think that's the most comfortable things. I would throw on some leggings, some sweatpants. I definitely always want to travel comfortably. I wouldn't wear pajamas. Yeah, I wouldn't wear pajamas. I'll do sweats. But bonnets, I

don't see the problem. You sleep with bonnets on, right, And if you want a flight for a couple hours, a few hours, it would make perfect sense to wrap your hair because you're gonna be sleeping. Yeah, I personally I wouldn't do it, but I wouldn't care if someone else did it. If I was with a friend or saw somebody in the airport, I wouldn't even think nothing of it. All Right, let's go to the phones. Good morning, it's the breakfast club. Who's this is? Technically I'm calling

from Miami. So I just feel like this whole conction is ridiculous. About Bonne. Where is the same conversation And when males are leaving their home with the drag. A due rag gets on and there's no conversation about it. It just goes. It's improved point that women are just helpful different singles. Women should start wearing du rags. I'd be seeing Asia Wilson, she'd be wearing du rags all the time. Now I think she got her own dug. I'm just I'm just gonna wear a due rag spot

stores anytime I wear one? Does du rag do the same thing as a bonnet? Can it keep your hair intact? I guess yeah, that's what I do. Ring Charlemagne, ain't ha hair in a minute. I have no idea that none of this. I don't know what you're talking about. Let's going the next calling. Thank you for calling. Good morning the way same way guys when they take up to do ragging, that line be in the middle of their forehead. You have to do it and you start

rubbing your head like you got a headache. Good morning, good morning, good morning. Who's this? My name is Anna, I'm Chicago and I live to you guys almost every day in the morning. Thank you. Your phone is a going a little bit. Now do you wear banners to the airport? Republic no adult. Okay, so you agree with more Nique, Yeah, I do. I'm gonna be very honest with you. I'm one of these girls that like, you look look too good wherever I go, Like, why should

I leave my house within like a hot mess? I feel so banning equals hot mess to you? Whoa to me? Yeah? Because there's a whole to me, you know, because Okay, I feel like, why would you want to look look like? Have you seen somebody with a banning or do you judge them? No? But I feel like, okay, why wish you were that? You know, I'll fight however, I would help you say this. Hey, hey, hey, that's judging people. Man, Okay, all right, all right, have a good day. Mean. I

guess it's a matter of preference. I don't know if there's a wrong answer here. Good morning, Good morning, breakfast, claud This is mister Dingo or Dido fish. Mister Dingo. Do you wear your bonnet and your pajamas there? But no, I don't wear about it. To be honest, guys, really one of these we lost our appreciation for flying, and it's really sat. At one point, it used to be an honor the fly plane you had to get dressed,

represent your family to the piece. So i'mwhere a lot of the lives we just walt I don't really happen. I don't believe that. I don't think people lost the what you call it appreciation. No, I don't think it's that. I just think that the airplanes aren't that comfortable, bro Like, like, airplanes are not comfortable at all, even if even if you're in first class, first class is cool, but all first classes are not equal. Plane judge. I judge when I see people wearing hills in the airport, I'm not

why are you wearing? Word now that that's what I'm saying. I'm with you. When I see people overdressed. No, when I see people overdressed at the airport and they got on hills and they got on like full suits with hard bottoms, I'm like, I hope they got a short flight. But you're right, I shouldn't judge because they might have to tap up the plane and go to a meeting or be coming from something to exactly going to a beat or whatever. But yeah, obviously what it is. But

I'll make sure y'all catch many showing that letter. All right, we'll be looking for you. You say it like he's performing. I don't know. All right, it's the Breakfast Club. We're talking about bonnets and pajamas. Do you feel that they're appropriate attire? Just to be out and about it. Let's talk about it. It's the world most Dangerous morning to show the Breakfast Club. Call me and your opinions to the Breakfast Club top. Come on eight hundred five five

five one. Yeah, it's the world most Dangerous Morning show to Breakfast Club. Charlomagne and God Angel l Ye. It is a Tuesday and we're discussing bonnets and put jamas this morning. Where did this come from you? This came from Monique and a post that she did about women wearing bonnets to the airport. Here's what she said. But I saw so many of our young sisters and head bonnets, scarves, slippers, pajamas, blankets wrapped around them. And this is how they're showing

up to the airport. Not just at the airport, I've been seeing a store at the mall. And the questions that I'm having to you, my sweet babies, when did we lose pride and representing ourselves? When did we step away of Let me make sure, unpresentable when I leave my home. I mean, I'm not mad at her opinion. I mean, that's her opinion, you know. And what I would say to anybody is you can't expect you from other people. You know. So about a bathroom? Can you

wear bathrows? No, that's ridiculous. You don't think so it's next level. Yeah, that's ridiculous. I mean I think I wouldn't do with jamas. I can understand the bonnets in the hand scarfs and stuff like that, because the flights be long. People be sleeping on flights, you know what I mean. You want to maintain your hair. Yeah, you might be maintaining your hair for our purpose. You might be landing. When you land, you might need to go somewhere,

so you gotta have your hair wrap. So when you get there, you unwrap the scarff, comb it out, and you get the way you're going. Who knows? Who knows? Let's go to the phones. Good morning, good morning, who it is? Good morning, Lynch Spencer? How are you? I'm amazing? Good morning? How are you? Guys? Blessed Black and Holly favor about what you think? Would you do it? I

don't personally wear a bonnet. But as a medical and a mental health professional, if you are unapologetically black, who created a standard of preventables, you aren't supposed to do whatever makes you feel comfortable. Okay, whatever means you comfortable. So no judgment, correct, we can't. We don't have room for judgment. Now it is a double edged four because your parents does um can open up of an individual to your mental health, how you feel about yourself and

from reference to depression and things of that nature. But as an unapologetically black individual, you're not supposed to impress anybody. You're supposed to do exactly what you want to do, how you want to be able to take those consequence before it. Well, yeah, I understand what. I understand what you're saying. But then people can go too far with that, right because I mean, what if somebody shows them to the airport with just a trench code on and nothing

under consequence? True? Yeah, that they definitely will when you got to take off that code to go through TSA. No, I get what you're saying, Right to do exactly what they want to do. Who created the standard of preventable? Yeah, us, I get it. So, but what if that what if the standard is coming from one of us, like more in more Nique's case, if Monique is saying this is what she would like to see, don't we got to take that into consideration. Who said Monique was one of us?

Okay Na, see, I ain't going that far now. What I'm just saying us it's different categories of things. US is a comfort of representable. But everybody can't relate to money. I can relate to Angela Yee, I can't relate to a Monique. I get it. So I'm Angela ye had a standard and she says, you know what, ladies, this

right here is appropriate. This right here is not appropriate because we can personally see how she carried herself and now her word is her bond, and that she's not going to tell people to do things that she's not going to do. Then that might be something you might look at and say, you know what, let's kind of look at this standard a little bit differently. But coming from a rich individual that have stylists and all of these other things that thrusting to prepare them to those places,

she's not an US. We're regular, everyday, hard working mental health professionals and this is what we do, and our focus is to make sure that people understand how to be unapologetically black and hold onto those consequences. Well, I appreciate your opinion, and I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you don't think that about them. At work every single morning and sometimes I'm tired and I'm not gonna have time to get dressed up and do my hair, and you know, do all of those things.

Might throw my hair in a bun, put on a hat, do what I gotta do. Absolutely, good morning. Hey, what's happening? Who does It's a wastler? Is this Leonard? This is Leonard? Yes, it is Hey, sir Lennon, how you doing it? It's Leonard. Before we get on the but first we get on the topic of the bonness our queens are wearing. I want to say, don't let Angela Yea and that other guy in the studio, don't let them talk about anything dealing with children, because it's obviously they don't have kids.

Who in the hell won't there first? And Kenney Gardner's learn about homosexuality and masturbation at at age? Where did you come up with all of this? Who said anything about homosexuality kind of training. I guarantee they don't have children. Yeah, I don't think we say not. Let's get on the subject we didn't say. I guarantee you I was a child's right and envy got a million kids, he said about dramas. I guarantee you I was a child, and

I can't to you. I know my own experience is as a child, a six year old grandkid to learn about that kind of stuff. I don't even know what you're talking about, sir. But she's too angry. He's upset. He's upset about the teachers at the Schoolkay, let's get on the bonnets. Yes, sir, you hate them absolutely. Well, you're not a woman, so you can't talk about bending. I know he hates some of you. Embarrassed, Charla Man and I've been wanting to talk about this and you

and NBA ain't said a word about it. I'm talking about it at the malls at nice trendy rest. It's embarrassing and I'm gonna hold the black queens available, but not police agress come on coming outside with the house shoes on and the pajamas bond. It's embarrassing. Anything else for you're a woman, sir. I like women, women decide to do with their bodies or what they decide to wear on their heads. The hypocrisy and your statements the time, staying on something that you're not you and your girl.

When we need you to calm down, we need tom down, you're gonna say, oh yeah, wear your bonnets, sir. Gonna be you and tell people what they can and can't wearing the airport. Can I ask you a question, sorry, black women, a white women. What's your preference or your queens or queens? Okay, just making sure any white women wearing bonnets here we go. You said what white women? Definitely any white I don't see any white women wearing bonnets. Okay. So when you call, when you say queens, when you

refer to sir, I can't tell. I bet you use the phrase good hair too, don't you. No, I don't use that phrase, but you chuse it. You just used it. Thank you for calling, sir. If you tell people you got good hair, have a good I don't have terrible heart. Thank you. All right, listen to everybody. Everybody's the title to their opinion. What's what's the moral of the story

is there a moral to the story. But the moral to the story is, you know, I agree with the woman that called up earlier where she said, you can wear what you want, but you just have to know that there's whatever the repercussions are from that, that's on you. I don't judge what anybody has on in public. I'm o my business. I'm also a New Yorker, so I've seen everything, so it takes a lot for me to be like, damn what they're doing. Honestly, I think that's

what Monique is trying to say. Mornique is just trying to say, like, Yo, you know you're gonna you leave the house looking a certain way. You know, people may judge you or treat you accordingly, So there is repercussions and consequences for you know, how you present yourself, I think, and a lot of times they'll be dead wrong, because it'll be the people with the most power, the most whatever that you judge the wrong and you be the

one that suffers those repercussions and consequences. Very true. Treat people based on their appearance, That's very true. Haafy Tuesday shout out who celebrated Memorial Day yesterday and you know I went to go see Danielle Rowlings perform at our lines. I hit you, I told you, Miss Jones and Wendy Williams showed up. I did. I saw that in page six yesterday I was reading about yes, so that actually made it into pace six. And I'm gonna tell you

what really really happened. She said, for rumor report or do you want report? Why would you give it to us now unless you got something better for a room a report? I mean I have a lot because you know it was over the weekend. It was a hot, bloody weekend. Why is that jay Z for young bucks like myself? The two of them in ask a question, Christ,

why is it to them in a room A big deal? Well, Charlottagne worked with Wendy Williams and we worked with Miss Jones, so you know there's slight We had a slight rivalry back of the day. Mm hmmm. And so the two of them actually came in together. And so what happened was at the end of the show. Well, first of all, Dona of course kept shouting all of us out, and when they came in, it was like pretty much the

end of the show. There was literally, I think Danielle was about to wrap it up, and I think he extended it just a little bit because they walked in, you know, kind of late, and so Danielle kept saying, no, we got all these queens of radio in the room, and when he was like, what, like she didn't know, you know, who else was there, but Miss Jones had already waved he low to me and everything, and so

then she was like, oh, hey, Angela. Then somebody in the audience yell like, oh no, not hey, Angela, and it was getting like a little feisty. I don't know, that's what I'm saying. I don't know what was going on there. It was such a big deal. So then at the end of the show, Danielle was like, hey, let's all take a picture, and Miss Jones you know, gets up there and they're trying to get Wendy to get up. I'm still in my seat, and then you know,

Daniell's like, come on, let's take a picture. So I got up to go take a picture with Danielle's I would have done anyway, and people in the audience like, Wendy go, Wendy go, and she didn't want to, which is no big deal, no problem, Like, I didn't really have an issue with it at all. I didn't go up there thinking that we were all taking a picture. I went up because Danielle was like, come on stage,

let's take a picture. I don't know, I guess because they felt like Miss Jones got up and took a picture. I got up and did it, and they felt like Wendy should have. But nobody had to take a picture if they don't want to. How y'all know didn't hurt in that moment. You just saw her post about her feet last week. I'm just I'm just playing, you know, White Devil's advocated. You just saw your I mean, whatever the reason is, even if you just don't feel like it,

it's not a big deal. It was really the audience that was like, get up there and go Wendy, come on, Wendy, take the picture. And so it turned into like a way bigger deal than it ended up on page six. You know, people whatever. But Miss Jones and Wendy did come together and they did post a selfie together. They were seated together, and then they left pretty much like right before the show ended. They got up and left. So I guess they wouldn't have to deal with all

the everything. So people making something out of nothing per usual. Yeah, okay, and so I just want to put that out there. I wasn't the one saying come take a picture. It was nothing like that. I was minding my business. Danielle is my boy, you know, he's like family to me. So if Danelle says come get up here and take a picture with him, of course I'm gonna do it.

And I would have did it regardless, no matter what. Okay, that was a rumor report advertising what we got for the main course, I don't know how that may pay, all right, and we're gonna talk about a con. He's not planning to press charges. Remember his car got stolen. You met it than I don't know. Yeah, it's about report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, jay Z was on the season premiere of Lebron James's HBO series The Shop Uninterrupted, and he was talking about DMX

a lot. On this episode, he talked about boycotting the Grammys and it all has to do with DMX. By the way, the first time I boycotted the Grammys was for him. We both came out that year. He didn't get nominee two albums, had two number one albums, say they didn't even nominate him. I won that year for rap album, so my first Grammy win. I wasn't in So there was a There was a competitive thing, but it was big love. He was so competitive with me.

I never met a human being more competitive bringing here like ever, not even my big brother. We met battling. We was in the boss in the pool hall. After that battle, he went to like a show. He got on stage jay Z where you And then in addition, he talked about having to go on stage after DMX, and you know, DMX's energy was crazy. Me DMX, mappe man red man job, the locks this towards pack. So X is about to go on and I'm like, you know, I want to see. I got like this. This is

going before the lights off. He's in the hallway. It goes and now the arena is shaking and I'm like this is cool. And then he goes and the ghost deafening and I'm like, oh, they're like, hey, how you go. The best part about that is a hole didn't let that situation make him bitter. He let it make him better. He became a better performer after witnessing that because he could have just hated. Yeah, because and imagine met the man and read man and energy they had too they

used to be on tour. That was the second concert, not the first concert I've ever been to in my life, Hard Knock Life Tour. It came to the North Charlton College. Your mouth, I'm trying to my fish oil pills on. Why would you talk right now? Relaxed? Yes, that was the first concert I've ever been to in my life, North Chalton Coliseum, a Hard Knock Life tour. I think that was huge. Nine two thousand, I don't remember, all right.

Bullston's pay six has all the reports. Jay Z and Beyonce, according to pay six, are a rumored to be the buyers of a new twenty eight million dollar Rolls Royce. It's the till convertible car, so they said, it's the most expensive car in the world, and an industry insider told the UK's Telegraph that they believe that the Carters are the ones who purchased that car. All right, let me see how I can make this situation make me better and not better? Twenty eight million dollars for a

Rolls Royce for a car twenty eight mint? What does this card? Does it fly? Can it go in the water like a submarine? What does it do? I'm looking at it. Don't look that nice? Does it drive itself? What year is it? Where is envy when you eat it? Man? Don't forget the car show is coming up if you don't have anything to do for twenty eight million dollars car? All right, And I want to talk about Coil Ray for a second. I thought this was really nice, you know.

Nicki Minaj, Pology and others have showed support for her after there was a crowd reaction clip that went viral. It was her performance in Houston and it shows that a section of the crowd is just kind of standing there while she's performing as part of htown Memorial Day Mayhem, and she went on Twitter and said the love used to outweigh the hate, but now that hate outweighs the love and it's slowly destroying me. Feel like y'all trying to kill me. That's why I stay out of the way.

Gotta make sure I keep my distance. Your haters are in my life for a reason. We're gonna have to deal with each other and with whatever smoke and you know she goes on and you can tell she was just disappointed with that viral clip. But Nicki Minage Waiting and said, don't do that. Chin up. Always remember this. When black people not f with you, they will boo. Those people were on their feet. That means they may not have known the song, but they were interested in

getting to know more. So they were observing. You charge it to the game and move on. Yeah, I mean, by the way to hate never outweighs the love. Social media just makes you feel that way. And I'm sure that there was a point in that show, in her show, that there were songs that they were more familiar with than I'm sure the crowd was going crazy over what's that song? She got enough popular? No more parties or something like that, now parties, I'm sure out when that

song was playing. Paulo G. Waiting also said, that's always how it be when you first come in, compared to when you really blow. You gotta black that it shout and keep going crazy. You got it And that was still but actually turned into the best weekend for her after that, you know, having everybody give her their advice. You know here here in New York City. Our headquarters is Power one O five one. And you know, Nihla Simone is the DJ here on Pole one five one.

She's also a coiler's role DJ. And that was a moment where they were playing a new song that the crowd didn't even know. So she was debuting new music, so that makes sense that the crowd wasn't responding to it. All right, Well that is your roomor report now, Charlottegne. You got Donkey of the Day coming up? Yes, I do, and it's going to a young man named Cole Buckley. He needs to come to the front of the congregation. We would like to have a word with him. Place

all right, the breakfast Club. The breakfast Club, Your mornings will never be the same. Angela year here, And did you know that the General Insurance has been saving people money for nearly sixty years. That's a long time. So if you want the quality coverage you deserve at prices you can afford, check out the General eight hundred General or visit the General dot com. Some restrictions apply. Don't be out here acting like a donkey. Heeha, It's time for Donkey of the Day. I'm a big boy. I

could take it if you feel I deserve it. Ain't no big deal, I know, CHARLOTTAGNI gut go out, funny Sea. You gotta say something you may not agree with doesn't mean I need. Who's getting that donkey that donkeys that don't don't don't don't don't. Dunkey other day right there the breakfast club. Bitches, you can call me the donkey of the day, but like I mean no harm. Yeah, it's dunkey of to day. For Tuesday, June first goes

to a twenty one year old Massachusetts man named Cole Buckley. Now, we all know how passionate people are about their sports team. Sports is probably the shared experience in this country that brings us together the most. It's amazing that you can be in an arena which someone who's a fan of the same team that you are, and for the duration of that game, regardless of what your raised, sex, gender, religion, or classes, you and that person are on the same page.

Doesn't matter what any of your differences are, It doesn't even matter what your biases are. If you're rooting for the same team, Okay, during that game, you're on the same team, and that's a beautiful thing. But some of you fans take things too far because y'all act like the team you're rooting for his dying for you. Okay, I am a diehard Dallas Cowboy fan because my daddy is a diehard Dallas Cowboy fan. I drop on a clue bonds for liar mc kelvey. Okay, cowboy all day

and mons corn in South Carolina. But I'm not about to fight you over that Sylvian Blue. Okay, I'm not even gonna curse you out over that Sylvia and Blue because I get nothing from the Dallas Cowboys except joy when they win and sadness when they lose. So I can't understand for the life of me why fans do criminal things in support of their favorite teams. This is what brings us to the curious case of Cole Buckley.

He's twenty one years old. Then he's a fan of the Boston Celtics, and after Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets washed the Celtics on Saturday Night and Kyrie Kyrie Irving wiped his feet on the face of Lucky the lepre con, Cole Buckley decided to take it upon himself and do this. Let's go to w FXT Boston twenty five dudes for report. Police. We can now put a name to the face of the fan who's accused of throwing a water bottle like Kyrie Irving's Cole Buckley. He's

twenty one years old and he's from Braintree. He also now faces a lifetime band from the TD Garden after this incident. This is what happened thanks basically the game. Indeed, the Sea's blown out rather by the Nets, Kyrie Irving going to center court, wiping his foot on the Sea's logo. He went to the locker room, but before he got there, a water bottle came down from the stands. He raised his hand to be able to point out that fan. Police swarm that fan. Seconds later that person was arrested.

His name is Cole Buckley. This is not the only answer. Didn't liked this In terms of bad behavior by fans. Last week, in Philadelphia, a seventy six Ers fan through popcorn on Russell Westbrook of the Wizards, and a New York A fan spit on Hawks guard Trey Young. Also in Utah, the Jazz were playing the Grizzlies. There were fans that reportedly heckled the family of Grizzly star John Morant.

Look whether you just six this fan who threw popcorn on Russell Westbrook, the clown who's been on Trey Young at the garden all the idiot who ran on the court last night during the sixties, verses was the game. If you love sports the way you say you love sports, if you love your team the way you say you love your team, then why or why would you aid do something to make your team look bad and b do something that will get you banned for life from

the arena of the team you love. Not to mention the golden rulers do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Shouldn't you do unto other players as you would have people do unto the players you root for. Now Kyrie had something to say about the situation. Let's listen. Unfortunate that sports has come to a lot of this, uh you know, kind of crossroads where you're

seeing a lot of old ways come up. There's been that way in history in terms of entertainment performers in sports for a long period of time and just underlying racism and just treat them people like during a human zoo. I agree, and I just think it's just common courtesy and decency. Okay, the players you root for don't appreciate you doing that to other players. Now you call Buckley Band for Life from TD Garden and you have an assault in battery by means of a dangerous weapon charge

for what. Throwing that body like Kyrie isn't gonna change the outcome of the game. The final score is what it is. I don't care if you upset that Kyrie you know, didn't leave the Celtics on good terms. Hell, if I'm Kyrie and you did that to me, you're just proven why I made the right decision leaving this city, because that love is clearly not real. Now, for all you fools who say Kyrie shouldn't have disrespected the logo, sure you may be right, but you know whose job

it is to protect the logo? The Celtics, Okay, the team. They have to go on that court and bust the nets ass. That's how you defend the logo. Okay. But Cole, even if Kyrie disrespected the logo, who died and made you the guardian of the Garden? Okay? How come you're the only fan reacting in that way. Okay, then what happens when a player gets something thrown at them and they react the way the og ron artest Metal World Peace did back in the day dropping a clues bomb

from Metal World Peace. Okay, if one of the players reacting that, are they wrong? No, they wouldn't be. But they will be the ones who get treated like they're dead wrong. They're the ones who're gonna get fine, crazy, suspended and have to deal with all the high stakes consequences that the punk ass fan who started it won't

have to deal with at all. Okay, listen, if you love sports the way you say you love sports, if you love your team the way you love your team, then why would you ever do anything that would get you banned for life from watching the team you love? Please give Cole Buckley the biggest he hall. It's just totally unnecessary. M all right, Well, thank you Charlotte Mane for that donkey of the day. That's right, they're coming up next. Who we got ye? Oh man Now she

is an icon for real. It is Caribbean Heritage Month in June, by the way, so Happy Caribbean Heritage Month to everybody out there who wants to celebrate with us, but Miss Pat is going to be joining us now. If you don't know who Miss Pat is, she is one of the founders of VP Records, and VP Records is one of the biggest independent labels for dancehall Soca Reggae Music was founded back in nineteen seventy nine by Miss Pat and her husband, and her kids and grandchildren

now run the label. But when I tell you the biggest artists in Caribbean music have been signed to VP Records, either now or at some point in their career, I mean Spice is there, Beanie Man, Shaba Rings, Boujeou, Bounty Killer, Bungee, Garland, Capeleton. I don't know if. I don't know if Bob Marley was signed there, but they did used to own a

record store, so there's pictures of him. And she has a book out too, by the way, about her reggae music journey, and she has pictures of a young Bob Marley there because their record store in Kingston, Jamaica was like the spot where everybody used to go. So a young Bob Marley did used to come there and they did used to sell his records. But I don't believe that he was signed to VP, but they had pretty much all of the huge artist mister Vegas, Wayne Wonder,

t Okay, anybody you name it. Yeah, Sean Paul is probably their biggest success to and they did they did a whole collab with Atlantic Records with Sean Paul to really make him the huge star that he is today. And so Miss Pat is the founder of VP Records and she's going to be joining us now as we kick off Caribbean Heritage. Man. All right, it's the world most Dangerous morning show. The Breakfast Club, The Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We

are the Breakfast Club. We have a special guest in the building. We have Miss Pat. Good morning, good morning, good morning, good Morning's happy to be here. That's an honor to have you, Miss Pat. And you have such an interesting journey. But you founded VP Records, right, and people don't that don't know about VP Records. We want to talk about the history of that and how you got to where you are. But just tell us how important VP Records is for the reggae and for the

whole world in general. VP Record for me, I started it very very young, and it's a journey. It's over sixty years, and I love every minute of it. And I'm very happy that I'm still here high up in age. But I enjoy my journey for the last sixty years, and I'm happy to see my reggae music has spread all over the world, and I am being blessed with

all who helped me to reach this stage. And miss Patti is from you from Kingston, Jamaica, and you came over here when you were young, correct, and you create a VP record. The only reason I know is my mother in law is Chinese Jamaican and she came here from Kingston, and she tells us the stories all the time.

So breakdown how difficult that was, because she always used to tell me that they would send one relative over first, and that one relative would bring everybody you know to send for everybody, as she would say, yeah, yes, As I said, I came here in the nineteen seventy seven, but my brother in law was living here before I did,

so he was a help to bring us over. And then my husband came first with my two sons, and three years after I got my papers, then myself my second son and my daughter came And what made you think of creating VP Records? At the time, reggae music was hard to get. It was very hard to get. Even the time when VP Records was around, that was

the only place to do it. So what made you say, you know what, I want to create VP Records and have a brick and mortar store in Queens and be the outlet for all Jamaican artists at that time for decades, Caribbean artists, Caribbean artists. Yes, well, long before that time, I was also doing music in Jamaica twenty years before. Yes, so I spent twenty years on the counter at Randy's Record twenty years after that's when we came here. Now, Pad, this is all I heard. Book too, by the way,

because I want to make sure we know. Miss Pat has a book, My Reggae Music Journey, beautiful book, the most amazing pictures in here. You have like all of the iconic artists from dance hall, from reggae, all of that that are in this book. And they all had to pass through Randy's and VP Records at some point in their career. Yes, it has been. It has been a journey. As I said, I started very early when Jamaican music was just about to start, and like maybe

twenty years ago nineteen fifty eight. When we got our independence in nineteen sixty two, that was a big, big year for us, and we was invited to the World Sphere here in New York and that was a great thing for us. Bicoe were able to spread SKA. At that time Scow was in and we brought Scow with us and from SKO we have come right up sixty years after. How difficult was it to create VP records? Very difficult when I came here the new Bob Marley, but they didn't know all the other artists that we

had in our genre. So we had to start twenty years backward, small space and start all over again. I would go to Brooklyn three four times a week trying to sell a couple of forty five records. So it's been a journey, but we love what we do and we stayed here over forty years now doing the same thing, embracing Jamaica and regga music and also Soca. We did dipped into Soolo maybe twenty years now we started to

do Soco. Did the regular labels try to shut you out because here you are independent Chinese Jamaican, you know, and at the time, all the labels ran by white corporations and you were kind of the only independent out and you were making money, you were bringing artists in. You were the only place for Caribbean artists. Did they try to box you out and push you out all even try to buy it back? Then? Well, you know, I should say we hadn't core audience which we should

try to service and it'll buy a little. Everybody knew about us, and at one time we you know, we do telemarketing. We didn't know a customer. There was a few white big labels here, but they didn't stop us because we had a variety of music. We brought in all the small labels as well as the popular labels, so we're really a big one stop. At one time, I had over six hundred customers selling all over the country.

And I'm blessed because we didn't have any money to advertise, but we use a lot of flyers, pamphlet all the information we can and I was on the phone. We started telemarketing, so we had to have all the music in our head. We didn't have computer to write on so if a customer would come and access for music, we have to know which record they want, what lpezs on because twenty years before that, I stayed on the counter, so I know all the singers, all the producers, all

the label, how much version is in a song. Sometimes the customer doesn't know the name of the records, so they'll hulme it for me and I'll find it for them. That was definitely mean where I used to go to VP Record because I knew the name of no song. I'll be humming all of them now, miss Pat. Before we even start with VP Records, Let's go back to Randy's in Jamaica, right, and how you guys started out, how you started even that business, because that was something

that just wasn't being done back then. It was you and your husband who started Randy's. And just tell us

the idea behind that, because you've always been a hustler. Yes, at eighteen, my husband was working in a jukebox company, so we bought them out from the company that you worked with, and that's where we started selling all jukebox records and that's what our anchor, and later on we're developing selling one one LP Slept, Jim Reeve, Sam Cook, all those were the latest because of R and B and jazz, and I don't even think you know about hip hop at that time eighty sixty years ago. We

didn't hear her about hip hop. So that's how we started selling News record and we developed two day afterwards, Study seventeen and my store was at seventeen, not Parade where it does the heart of Kingston and everybody gather around. We have Chris Blackweld passing through. We have great producers like Lee Perry, Scratch, Lee Perry, Bonny Whalers, Scatter Lights, Jammies, even Bab Marley came through. Bob Marley came through when

he first started with a Lee Perry. All right again, you know it's Caribbean Heritage Month all of June and we'll be talking somewhere with Miss Pat about her book and her reggae music journey. Coming up next on the Breakfast Club. What's up? It's the Breakfast Club and we are joined by Miss Pat. Now, if you don't know who Miss Pat, she is the founder a VP Records, one of the largest reggae music labels ever that that's ever existed, and it's Caribbean heritage man. So let's get

into it, miss pat No VP records. VP is Vincent and pat that's the name. Yes, figured it out. Okay, that's that's our first name. Vincent, just be and Patricia which is P So we just call it VP. When we went to registered, we didn't even know her name, so we just say, okay, just put it her name, and it so happened that unique after And you also

helped artists. I heard this. I don't know if this is true, but a lot of the Caribbean artists said you would help them get the proper paperwork to come over here, to be able to perform and to be able to come over here and work. A bunch of artists that I've dealt with said, no, VP helps me with that. Is that true as well? Yes, you know we have to do the proper papers, so we had to help them. Who do you think has been the

biggest crossover artists? Because I would say when I was talking the Spice, she was telling me Sean paul was probably you know, signed a VP. And then you guys did it? Do you do a deal with Atlantic with Sean Pauler? Do they that he signed directly to Atlantic had a that word. No, Sean Paul was signed to us, but when he started to make the hits, we couple

do it collaborate with Atlantic. And so if you had to say for yourself, who has been the biggest success as far as sales, as far as cross over, what do you think is Sean Paul? I think so because at that time when Sean Paul came on the scene, hip hop was very big then, and I think they associated Sean Paul with hip hop. So I think I think you know, when I came it was just all Bob Morley than you, and I thought there would associate Bob Morley with Sizzlers and the other roots music. But

it didn't take off as much. It was the dance all Yellow Man, so one that that the dance all that really b Banton being a man? Did you ask the verses? Yes, yes, with the very sound Yes, I did watch it. I really liked I like everything in it because I think because of the pandemic, everybody was at home and this was like a fresh new excitement for everyone. So we got a lot of response and I was very happy that everybody liked it and enjoyed it.

How did you transition from a record store to a label. Well, in Jamaica, we started out as a record company selling records and afterwards when we built a studio. It was naturally. My husband did independent Jamaica in nineteen sixty two, I think, and that became a big hit for us because the raider didn't want to play it, but the streets were singing it, so they were forced to play it. And that's how we started to make our own records. And as we go along, we just do. Every day we

tried to do something better. They didn't plan it, didn't go to business school, but we just follow instinct and there was a lot of people that helped us along the way because we were in the heart of kingstowhere everybody sung in Jamaica. We are gifted for singing. Colle singing when we're happy, were singing when we were sad, with singing, when we are working with singing church, we sing on the street. So we are blessed that Jamaica is gifted for singing. What about being a woman in

this business right? Because look at you. We had to tell you for eleven, yes, for for eleven, how she staying on our money, though I don't know the money came first. I think we're helping others on the money will follow. Yeah, well, back home, I didn't know I was invaded into a man's man's job. I was just working. But when I came here and we were doing telemarketing and they would said, can you put on a and

for me? I said why? He said, well, I don't think you know what I need because you know, I don't know the name of the song, but I can hem it or I know who sings it, so you test me. I know it. I spent twenty years on the counter and all the songs. So after that they realize being a woman doesn't mean you can learn your trade, you know. So I learned fast, and I had to

learn hard because I don't go to the dances. So I had to just learn and listen and ask questions and who sing that, who produced it, who was the backup singer? Do they have ten versions behind it? Who did them? So I learned a lot of lessons by on the counter every day for twenty years. Actually I used to spin the disc on the counter too. Wow. What about the women artists? Well, at first it was we didn't have much. You know we had We had the Eye Trees, which is Richa Marley, Mass Griffiths and

Judie Moot. Those are three I knew. And gradually as we go along, you know, we signed quite a few women artists and I'm blessed now that there They were only backup singers. They weren't really individual singers. But they are coming up. But we need more women on stage. How was Bob Marley? I was like working with him or just knowing him on a personal level. Bob Marley is very shine, not who you see on stage. When he was about sixteen seventeen, he used to pass by

the store. He was always going to play football with his friend's skill call. He just came look around for his friends and they would leave. But Lee Perry, Lee Scratch Perry was the first one that brought him in the studio upstairs and then made his first new LPs. Did did you know he was special? When? When did you realize he was special? No? Nobody know. Everybody. Everybody sang in Jamaica even when Bob Marley. Bob Harley made a hits in America first and in England before we

realized he was his manager. Chris Blackwell really trained him, teach him and showed him the way, and he was accessible too, and he followed instructions. But when you first knew him, nobody knew Bob Marley would get hit because everybody sound. So when he became a hat, we had a brush up all the Bob Marley records because they were hot at that time. But I would say, nobody knew a hit, Hayte is not born in the studio or on the boardwalk. It's born in the streets. They

always asked me, how do you spot a hit? I would say, not in the boardwalk and not in the studio. The people in the street makes the hit. Well, thank you for joining us this morning and taking time out of your day and coming in even a summer history that's right. Make sure get their book. Yes, amazing book, a lot of information. Miss Patty. Truly is an honor. You are an icon send me into so many people, so I'm so glad you were able to join us, and i want to thank you all on the Breakfast

Club to have me and to share my journey. It's been a pleasure and I'm so happy to be here. Thank you all, and thank you to all of the reggae fans out there and the hip hop fans, thank you for supporting my music for over sixty years. Big up, Oh god? That all right. Well it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, thank you, thank you very much. Okay, the Breakfast Club. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Gui

on the Breakfast Club. Well, Timberland and Swiss Beats did their versus rematch battle and it went down one day night live at Live in Miami. And it was a good battle because the two of them definitely has some hits. I mean, you talk about Eliah, DMX, Missy Elliott, jay Z, Beyonce, Nicki Minaj, Justin timber Lake, j Cole, Drake, Little Wayne, and so on and so on for twenty rounds altogether.

I saw a lot of people are saying the audience wasn't that hype though, you needed like a better literation than that. And it was really nice at the end with the Eliah and Missy birthday jacket that Swizz gave to Timberland. If you guys had a chance to see how dope that jacket was. But a lot of things happened during this battle. Now to kick it off, Missy Elliott did this preview. Hebo to Kay. First of all, I want to say congratulations, and I want to say

I'm proud of you and swizzon. Thank y'all for creating verses for us to relive some of the best moments in music. But till you know, supposed to be coming with them snaps, he be coming with them banks, So you got to come straight out the gate. I love love y'all. Y'all deserve all the flowers coming to y'all. Now. One moment that was surprised was was Beats actually playing an unreleased verse from j Cole's song Bath Salts Who the first one and one? To jump up? Who the

first one and one? And it's got you really believing if you like, say that went up to it for Breggan Rights. I don't know if that's cool with y'all's so the cool I move along. I feel like the m I grew up with juice and dopes and that type blue day life. Like you might lose your phone relatively offten, I might put seven fifties off the never living me off my chair in this jam of musical chairs. Ain't declared that my maneuvers whip my fluids and night

here you're talking about your money. Was you are aware just to catch up to my bregga would take your two hundred kids. I don't know why you saved that verse. Bath Salts is on the new DMX album with Nas and Jay. Maybe maybe too long, I don't know. All right, Well, the whole night was dedicated to DMK. Yeah, I forgot about I forgot about that versus last night. I'm not gonna lie. I have to catch the replay it out. When I was watching basketball and TV Jakes all day yesterday, yeah,

this was Sunday night. Was last night on Monday? Tuesday? Yeah, Sunday. Forgetting what day it is? Right? I was watching t D Jakes and basketball all day Sunday. Yeah all right. Also over the weekend, DC Young Fly apparently he was performing in Oakland, California, and uh, something happened. I guess an incident happened where somebody came on stage during his set and they said that he knocked the person out. I saw people posting DC Young Fly and knocked him

out and then kept the show going. Now he posted his own explanation. He said, I'm from the West side of Atlanta. I'm really from the streets. I've been stabbed. I'm traumatized, but God turned my life around. But I always stay on point just in case I have to protect myself. Pleasant in Oakland. I love y'all forever and we always have a good time. But I'm mad you'll

have to see that side of me. But if you don't ff for me, please don't come to my shows if your intentions ain't to come and have a good time. First of all, DC Young Fly, don't bother the body dropped on the clues balls with Dc'm okay business, that's right, and sometimes swinging on folks as a form of self care. If you on that stage, you gotta protect your piece, and security not fast enough. Sometimes you gotta protect your piece and you gotta protect yourself. I'm not mad at

DC on Fly for that all right now. I meant to do this earlier with jay Z when he was on the Shop Uninterrupted. He spoke on being a father and one thing that he had to learn because of Blue Ivy as fathers with daughters, Like, what is it like in this world? Now? I didn't learn how to swim? Itto Blue was boy that this is a metaphor for how our relationship or she ever fell in the water and I couldn't get her. I can't even like fathom that thought. Right, and now that that was the beginning

of our relationship. I thought about, you know, the Hall of Fame, and I got to announced. I was like, I was taking Blue to school. I was like, this ain't no celebration. She walked away. I was like, yo, I'm in the whole of right. I mean, the evolution of hip hop is such a beautiful thing. Right, but that's such a perfect metaphor not just for your kids, but in life period, Like you always got to be willing to learn new things so you can better serve

and help others. I was thinking, it's at Brooklyn thing. You see Chris Rock learn how to swim. Now, jay Z knows how to swim. I'm next, I'm gonna have to learn how to swim. You swim? No, I say that like that this is all That's why this is all fascinating to me to see people learning how to swim now, and I'm a I love being in the water, but I can't swim. You don't know how to swim. No, I can't swim, not at all. Shot how ya. Neither one who knows swim, I ain't know what you said.

You bid was in your mouth. You're both judging neither one who knows that swim. I ain't judge. You got the judgment in your voice. Both. All right, you almost get out of here. Saw something. Now let's talk about Since we're talking about Lebron's show the shot, let's talk

about his agent or Rich Paul. Now, he recently did an interview with The New Yorker, and he talks about being a black man in a field of agents that is overwhelmingly white, and he said that many black athletes are reluctant to sign with a black agent, but he said it was much more the case with the white counterparts. He said, it's very difficult for me to represent a white player. And he said, look around, there's very few. I represent a player from Bosnia, but again he's international.

He looks at a difference. And so he was asked, the white players who are American don't want a black agent, and Rich Paul said, they'll never say that, but they don't. I think there's always going to be that cloud over America. Interested I would think that, you know, you would want the best agent. I would think that you would want the person that's, you know, getting the most deals done, getting you the best deals, getting you the best endorsement deals.

I would just think you want the best agent. And he also talks about the decision right and that whole situation that happened with Lebron and he said it helped other athletes take control of their careers. And Rich Paul did say that's why I don't speak to Bill Simmons. A lot of that has to do with race. He wouldn't have said that about Larry Bird. He wouldn't have said that about JJ Reddick. You get what I'm saying. The decision ten years ago is the norm today. It's

what everyone wants to do. Kids won't even decide where they go to college without it being a big production. And Bill sim Simmons says some ish like that, I wonder who are the top agents though, I mean Rich Paul is definitely, you know, one of the highest top agents. I I don't wonder who else is on that list. Yeah, because he has Anthony Davis, Been Simmons, Draymond Green, Anthony Edwards, John Wall So he has a pretty nice roster, all right. Well,

that is your rumor reports word. So I guess I gotta lie right now and tell y'all the People's Choice mixes up next. Oh man, listen here, stop lying to people. What do I want to here this morning? You think he's going to play be a whole lot of money? I have no idea. What do you think going to play? I have no idea. This is the People's choice mix, not the people Take your requests right now, y'all can tweet at DJ and be telling what you want to hear.

He's gonna get that off for you in the middle. Okay, it's the Breakfast Club. So Breakfast Club, your morning's will never be the same.

Charlomagne and God Angelie. Ye dj Enva is off today. It is a Tuesday. We had a long Memorial weekend. It still feels like one day now, and listen, I'm out here in Tosa, Oklahoma, and it does feel I mean, I'm glad I'm here. It's historic, but there's just so much pain that people are in Tolsa, Oklahoma had to endure, and the fact that there's three people who are still alive from the Tusa massacre that happened one hundred years ago. Today, you know, I'm going to be doing some pianos today

with Hennessy. They're sponsoring a lot of the activities that are happening out here this weekend, Moe at Hennessy. So I just want to thank them for just participating. And I'm hoping that some of the relatives of the people from the Tusa massacre, and even the three people who are still alive today will get some type of justice

from this horrible incident that happened a hundred years ago. Yeah, I mean, if people are in Tulsa, if those people in Tulsa who are still alive, you know, can't get any formal reparations for what happened to them one hundred years ago, there's no hope for the rest of us, you know what I mean, Because that literally was just one hundred years ago and they're still alive to talk

about it. They can't use the typical excuses like well, you can't pay ghosts or you know, y'all weren't slaves, Like, no, those people lived it, so them and their descendants should definitely be compensated. Yeah. And I've seen stories about different people who actually have relatives who there descendants of people who actually were really rich during this time period in Tulsa one hundred years ago, and you know everything was

taken from them. Wow. So imagine your linears put you as one of America's wealthiest families, and then your life was impacted by something that happened one hundred years ago, a massacre from white supremacist and you still haven't gotten a justice. That's right. That's right. Well, and also too, I want to tell people, man, make sure that they grabbed to Mika Mallory state of emergency, how to win

in the country we build. Nothing makes my heart smile more nowadays than seeing people posting about the book how the book has impacted them thus far. So thank you. It's available everywhere you buy books now. All right, we got the positive note when we come back. It's the world most dangerous morning show to Breakfast Club. Yep. It's the world most dangerous morning show to Breakfast Club Charlomagne, the God Angelie, Ye dj Envy is off. I think

it's time for the positive note. Ye all right, well Charlomagne, what is the positive note today? The positive note is simply this man. First of all, I want y'all to watch Bishop td Jake's left for Dad's shermon that he gave on Sunday. If you haven't seen it, chet Man, go on YouTube and watch that. It is a word that will bless your life. But he said something in there that made me think. He actually said that what you call luck is actually God's grace. So that's the

positive note. Nothing you have is because of luck, a chance, it's all due to God's grace and favor. Breakfast Club Pies, y'all finish it, y'all. Dunb
