I mean, there's a lot of random people in there right now that if you took yourself out the platform with I mean, it's hard for people to see why how did you get ten years papers?

If you need to vent hit us up right now. Was the Breakfast clud Morning, the Breakfast Club. We think everybody is tj Envy Angela Yee show him in the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Word cash doll. Y'all know, I let me some cash doll. I say
it all the time. And this is timing because we've been trying to get cash out to come up here for the longest. But the album stacked. You've been du I'm been dunking, y'all. Okay, I've been ready day right, stay ready. We didn't have a conversation, and she did want to make sure when she came up here when I was promoting something, because before you know, I really wasn't promoting it because I couldn't even release music. So it was like, why couldn't you release music because I
was stuck in a contract? So about that. You were stuck in the context, not a bad deal. Couldn't get out? You waited to get out? Yeah? I did it was two years. Jeez, how and how did you finally get out of that deal? I had to pay back. You gotta pay well. Who was the label? Some local shop? Yeah? I think you can't even really say there. Yeah, I can't even say their name legally. I don't even want to. I'm over it. Yeah, I found piece in the situation.
It was sucked up because no, it was really because it was like I was releasing music and it will seem like, Okay, it's about to happen for cash doll and then it's gone put it off to YouTube. I'm someone. They even took it off Facebook like it was nowhere, Like I couldn't put music nowhere, especially if they was making money. That's the thing. It had to be more than just the money. It was spiteful to me, you know.
But it's cool because I learned a lot that I didn't know because I didn't know the business of this is a this is a business, you know what I mean. So now I know the business going through court and going through all that, and I'm like, oh, all right, I would I say that in kDa diary. Damn there and half a ticket I had to come out total from a local label and putting that kind of money out. It wasn't they didn't It was all of It's just how much did they give you? The sign? Nothing they
owe me. Nothing can stop what God has planning for exactly exactly. And that's what I you know what like
because if I didn't have any it learned me. It taught me how to surround myself with the right people because I could have I could have went crazy, right, but I needed those people around me to keep my spirits up and keep me going because you know how like when you when you get your heartbroken, that feeling, it's like I felt like that for every day for two years, waking up like, oh I can't do nothing, I can't put on nothing. I love, this is my passion. Yeah,
it was the worst feeling in every lint. Make it feel better because it's not a heartbreak like that. It ain't that top of about it. It's nothing you can do about it. You put out something, it's gonna get taken down. You know, it's just stuck. Independent don't matter? Yeah, Republic, Yeah you didn't stay Why why didn't you stay independent? After dealing with the label process and all that stuff?
Before I say you know what, I'll just do this myself now because they have my back, and I wanted to, like, because I'm doing it myself. I had that time when I first came out, like in two thoy and fourteen, I had that me time, you know, and I need a little struction, I need I need a structure, I need stability, I need a team, and I was just
ready to go to the next level. They even though it was like so many other labels reaching reaching out to sign me, It's like they stuck by my side, you know what I'm saying, And they even helped me out the situation. So I was like, all right, all right, we got mold with cash Dog. When we come back, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning to Breakfast Club cash Dot.
Let's flash back to when we sat down and had that conversation on lip Service about confidence and how being an exotic dance to actually gave you the confidence you needed to get on stage and actually be a rapper. Oh yeah, yeah, because I was like, I wasn't too sure of my soul. I wasn't too sure I used to even growing up and stuff like that like that takes a lot of I wanted that cheese. You know what I'm saying. I had to get out. I had ended up had to move back when my mom had
to help my mom and my sister and brothers. I'm the oldest of six or I'm like, I gotta get this cheese. Like you know, I always been that one because I was like I had three jobs at one time, Like I worked at Better Made Chip Factory, Little Caesars, and Best. I likes us and I like expect I like nice things. It's something that it's in me. I can't you know, Detroit, we love all that stuff. The first skater and Cardia glasses, all a jury, That's what we genuinely liked it. So I worked for it, you
know what I mean? Seriously, at first, when you transition in the music, No, Detroit gave me the hardest time ever it well, you know what I'm not gonna say, the whole Detroit. It was fifty fifty. It was like the kids and all they loved me, but the older people around my age, they just was like, no, she's
just a stripper, nothing else. She would never be more this and that and now that I'm talking about I used to like schools used to have me come perform and uh like they used to be like, why she up? There was kids and she used to be a stripper and then nah, she ain't gonna never be shipping. Oh. They used to clown the fuck out of me. I'm talking. I used to hurt my thought, used me crying. I used to be crying. No, Detroit gave me hell right. First.
I can't think of of who a female rappers remember back in the day was yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the studio. Who was the first time when you knew you could rap? When I went to the studio? But the first time it was the studio you know, dex Osama. Yeah, that was my ex boyfriend, right, So I used to dance and this used to pay me like fifteen hus to stay home. He used to hate that. He's like, no, you staying home? And I just stay home sometimes. And
then this one time we was in the car. I was like, man, you know what what I really want to do. He's like, well, I'm like I want to be a rapper. He like we're in a car, right, he stopped, like, and you can do that? Ship you all you find us, you gotta chain you got a car train. Everybody already love you. You'll be singing in the shower and you can do that on the studio of the night. I'm like, hell, yeah, we can want
to studio. I can't do this right, something like right, I can't do We go to the studio and we argue the whole time. Why because I that's when I knew that that's really what I love. Because when you're passionate about something, you can't cut off until cut me off, tell me what to do, tell me what not to do. You can't do that to me. He was telling to let me do Yeah, he was just no, you should
say this, and you gotta get louder. Even though he was right, It's like I felt like, you know, like when you're passionate about something, you're doing it, let me do me first, and then critique it. Don't critique it as I go because now I don't know how I like it. You gotta let your creativity just come out. And yeah, yeah, he cared a lot, and he was so happy because after we were done, we was happy. After that where we were. After we were done, we got along and we got in the car and he
played it. He like you hear you like I hear me, I'm sweetest. I'm like you heard that part? He like put that on your Instagram. I'm like, I'm doing it. So what was that your boyfriend at the time? Yeah, he was my boyfriend. Now he passed away. How did that affect you? When that happened, it hurt me a lot because you know, we had we didn't like each other when it when it happened, you know, I left him alone. Um when he when he got when he passed away, because he got a little possessive, you know,
and I couldn't take that. I ain't having none of that. So, um, I moved. I gave his mom money for him while he was in there to make sure he was straight, and I just cut off tyes. So when he got out, it was like he was kind of mad, and you know he had like this presentment. Yeah, and I just had to do what's best for me though, because it was only gonna get worse. And um, shoot, he hated me. We're on line. He was one of the people that we was talking about me. Really, Yeah, he just hurt yea, Yeah,
he was hurt. He was because he really had mad love for me. He really loved if he wouldn't. If he wouldn't have gotten killed, that would have came circle for sure. For sure. Yeah, and um, so that happened he passed. I was I was hurt because I never got a chance to, you know, even just say thank you for giving me that confidence to go in a studio, you know, to even make me believe that I can do it myself, because I didn't. I just wanted to
do it every since I was a little girl. I never thought that, you know, I would be cash y'all right here with the Breakfast Club. Hi, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, it's topic time. The phone called eight hundred five eight five one oh five. Wanted to join it to the discussion with the Breakfast Club. Talk about it morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy we all the Breakfast Club. Good morning, now if you just joined us. We were talking about changing a flat tie.
I flew into Jeff Katy other day and I got a flat tire. As soon as I land it was flat. I don't I don't know necessarily know how to fix the flat. I never fix the flat. I know the concept of it, I don't know how to change a goddamn tire. That's all. It boils down to let me look it up on YouTube. And then I'm in Queens. So in Queen's there's a fixing flat place in every corner. Damn there. Poppy fixed. He charged me seven dollars. It took him five minutes. I kept a move, but I
even sent y'all a picture of me fixing. But nobody in this room will change the tire. I have to say that it depends, you know what I'm saying. If if I don't have no choice, like you might call Triple A, and Triple A might not get there for another thirty forty five minutes. If it takes me fifteen minutes to change the tire, we got to span it back. We out. Okay, Now I'm gonna tell you something. My father, you know, didn't teach me a lot when it came to like handywork stuff. You know, he was a he
was a construction guy. He had his own construction company, you know, when he wasn't battling his drugs and alcohol and all that other. All right, but you know, he had a construction company. But he didn't he didn't teach me how to do too much handy stuff. But he definitely taught me how to change the goddamn tied. I mean even yesterday. But yesterday I had one of the old school calls out. It started overheating. I didn't even know what to do. I didn't even know where to
put the water. I had to call my friends. You have to know limit out and no limit, old body. They had to tell me where to put the water in. I had no clue. I just don't know. I'm not listening. I'm not mad at that. But changing a tire. Every man should be able to change the tire. Every woman should be able to change your tire. Every man had triple A and and and no where poppy is that
could fixure. I didn't have triple a grown triple it costs money, triple a cast how much your money, you know you can use somebody else, You get somebody else, Like y'all grew up with cell phones, so wherever you had a flat tire, you could call somebody right to the paper. You have to walk to the pay for New York, pay the name. That's my point. Every the world ain't New York. When y'all realize that, Okay, I grew up in a place that is more of a
reflection of America than New York City. And it's called Monkst Corner, South Carolina. All right. The majority of the world is those rural areas. All right. You get a flat tire in the middle of nowhere, you got to change that tire right then and there. We should have moved to New Yorker. No for what he did, be thelusion like y'all and not not have changed highest. Let's let's go to the full line. We have Emily on the line. Emily, good morning. Hi, Hey Emily, you're not
have changed the flat tire. Yeah, I've known since sixteen years old. You don't know were you from, Emily bron Oh you're from the Bronx to not have changed flat fixed the flat place with every corner in the Bronx. No, no, No, I grew up for boys. I've known since I was sitting years old because my brothers taught me. It's it's essential you grew up in boys boys. Oh yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, So I was raised by men, So I told I was told how to drive a car and how to
change in to ayre. How did you my oil change? How to change you to change the oil. Yeah, what you're doing Friday? Who you guys to skill? I don't. My wife does though. My dad taught me how to do that. Also, my dad's a mechanic too. That's the crazy part. Hello, whose this wasn't mechannic? I what's going on is Marvin? Marvin was uthing? Man, you know how to change your time? Bro? Yes, sir? Come on, man, it's twenty nineteen. You got all these cars? You a car guy? All it got. All all it takes is
a couple of clicks on YouTube. Man, you can change the tire yourself. You could have saved yourself seven bucks. Who are you from, bro, I'm from Brooklyn, but I live in South Florida. This is crazy. All of these New Yorkers know how to change time. Why do you think we wouldn't know how to change the tire because we're from New York? Because of envy saying that I know you didn't? I said, you know how yesterday Marvin d your dad. You said your dad had a thing
in the car. No, I said, he taught out. By the time you're looking up on YouTube, you could have found Poppy in Brooklyn that no lot in Brooklyn, there was a fixing flat place. Damn there five blocks away. All right, that might be so. But the same time, if you if you're on the spot and you not anywhere where, then there is a fixing flat place. You know, all you got is yourself. You want to waste t That's right, That's right, my brother. As I told y'all yesterday,
most people know how to change a flat tire. But seventy percent of people, according to this pole, that's most year. And I ain't gonna front. I usually got some nice jays on and I ain't gonna mess up my j's for no tire. But shut up, man, you broke Richard something. Nope, but still all if I paid for them jays, I ain't messing up them jaw may sneakers. You messed up fixing fixing flats. I have no idea because when you're in the middle of nowhere and your tire is flat,
you want to fix your tie. You ain't worried about you got damp. And if you know my dad, you know he does not want to pay seven dollars to change the tire. Hood do it himself. My dad would take the hose out and watch the car himself. He would do everything himself unless it's an absolute emergency. I can't believe you surprid about this. The minority. The minority does not know how to change the flat tire, Kyota, Yes, good morning? Are you ready? Nice? Hey? Hey, So I
feel like I don't mind. I don't think it's a deer breaker if my guy I knows how to change the tire or anything like that. I definitely know how. But I'm gonna be really upset if I'm in the tar and we get a flat and my guy doesn't know how to change it and I'm outside changing the time yet, that would be kind of crazy. But I mean, that's a whole entire way, like I can get it done. That's just how do you feel like? I can you get it done in fifteen minutes? Where you calling from?
I fell it from Jersey, Jersey. You should not have changed the flat tire in Jersey because you'd be on them highways. Kay on what you're doing Friday, I might need you to do some service on my cars. I'm gonna hey you. I'm gonna charge you a whole lot, all right, Biden? All right? Poppy talled me seven dollars, Diana, good morning, good morning, and good morning. Do you not have changed the tire? No, I'm and the flat I'm like corn never will now I'm married, and that's what
I got a husband for. I want to see, I got kids now, that's why I got kids for it. But it's a fixing flat placing every damn in every corner in queens Or. You got one person to agree with you, and I'm right on with this one person. What's your name? Ridiculous? Diana? Hey Diane, what you doing next? Next week's Saturday?

Okay, the pole Angelie posted up said seventy one percent of all people. As I told y'all yesterday, most people in America know how to change a flat tire? Who put out that pole? Bobby Brown, sister, I know that pole is accurately and we posted it up. Yeah, I posted in people. The more of the story is, tire should be made out
of whatever vagina walls made out of. Times if ties were made out of the same material as Jinna Wolf, you would never need new ties and you would never get a flat. Oh my goodness, keep it lock. We have more coming up next. It's to Breakfast Club. Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are to Breakfast Club. We got a special guest.

What's the longest break you've ever taken in between working. I guess when I was on Broadway, but I was still working. Yeah, that's work still, but I wasn't getting up in the morning. I was just
going to do the show. Because even like this year, you have a lot of movies coming out, but in between filming, Like, have you ever said, you know what, I'm gonna take a six I usually take a month off every year, though, I take a month off and really go on vacation, purposely vacation. Yeah, you gotta tell us your routine, man, because I look at you and I see them myself. I got something to look forward to at seventy because you look mother good man. Thank you.
What do you do to stay so youthful? I have no idea. You try to stay stretch free. Okay, that helps you know what about vegan? Met vegan for a minute. Yeah, I was a vegan for about seven months and you started getting sick. No, I didn't. I lost so much weight I almost lost a job. And they said, well, if you don't gain fifteen twenty pounds, we're gonna have to recash. So I went straight to shake shot and got my life back together. So what else are you doing?
It got to be more than just I do pilates and I played golf, That's it. How do you stay stressed free? Though I'm making enough money that I don't have to work. I'm say money won't solve all the problems. It solves enough of them that I don't have to think about them. But you didn't come from money though, like I didn't. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so I was looking
at you. Was born twenty years before the civil rights like in nineteen sixty ooh yeah, So how different that the world looked then as opposed to that I grew up doing, you know, doing American apart time Tennessee. They had science. You know, I knew where I could go where I couldn't go. Well, I should do what I shouldn't do, you know all those things. You kind of look at life and go okay. And when I hear him say it, now, you know, making America great again,
I go, what are you talking about? Because I remember what they thought? Making America great again means? How did that not harden your heart though, like growing up in that area and seeing how white people us used to treat us well, a loving community and and and people who make you understand that you know you're you are great people in there. There's a reason that they do this to you. You know that they try to keep you back because you are the richness of what the
world did. You know that you offer something that they don't have, and they know they can't have it, but they want to control it. So you know, you listen to those people. You have the right teachers. My whole school life was black. I didn't have white teachers that I got the more House College, so I had teachers that taught my mom and her brothers and sisters, so they knew what the expectation was in my house. They knew that people expected me to go to college, so
they pushed me. What kept you focused because your career really got started when you got a lot older. What kept you focused on all that time to be like, I know this is for me. I love the theater and I loved acting. And when you're in a rich environment of creative people that share the same goals, everybody was trying to get somewhere or everybody had a different idea about how it was going to happen, and there
was enough going on or enough people moving. It's like we're doing a play and all of a sudden, Denzel is like, he plucked out and he's She's like, okay, so Denzel's got the TV show and now he's doing movies. Okay, booming. Another player, Morgan gets plucked out. Boom, He's gone. He's doing Street Smart and he starts doing all this other stuff. Alfrey's gone, Westley's gone, this is gone. So you know
you're in the right place. It's just a matter when your time is coming and not being envious or jealous about it and sometimes, like me, finding out that I was in my own way. So once I got cleaned, everything kind of changed. So there's a very distinct correlation of me changing my life and being focused and clear about what I needed to do and my success. So when people say, well, you know, you go to rehab and you do this, you do that. I was a week out of rehab when I started doing Jungle Fever,
so I didn't really need makeup detox. That's typecast no no. So by the time I got that. I mean, I walked on set and I went to the crafts table and the fruit of Islam was the security. They were like, make up, get in the table because they thought I was just some cradic Yeah. Man's no, no, no, no, man, man, he's in the movie. But the correlation between my career
changing and me getting straight is very clear. So when people talk about relapse and just that and the others, that is that is that is part of your recovery. It's not, you know, it's understanding that I never did, wanted nothing. So as long as I understand that and I get up every day and I realized today is another day I gotta stay clean, I can still deal with it. Well, your drug a choice? Was it crrect? Yeah? Yeah, that was my drugg of choice. Alcohol was my drugg
of choice. The drugg of choice wasn't a drug that was in front of me. It was to kick all those habits. Just what it was. It was that time I was tired and they said your wife was so like strong with like, no, you gotta go get fit, you gotta go get help right now. Yeah. Yeah, that was I mean the day they found me past out on the kitchen floor. Next day, I was in rehab. Did you have that level of self awareness to know? Man, I got to change my lifestyle in order to change
my life. I was just just something that they made you do. Well. She caught my best friend from high school who was a drug counselor, and he found a bed for me in upstate New York. So I went straight in there. I didn't go in kicking and screaming. I went in. I was tight, and uh, I listened to what they were saying around me, you know, and and you go through it all and you do it. And then the job came up jungle fever, and you know the drug counselors, Well, you shouldn't do that job.
Shouldn't be playing a crack at it all. Your triggers are going to be there, pipes and lighters. I'm like, if for no other reason, if I never see you mother, you know. So that was that was motivation enough. But you know I had to stand up in front of mine, I mean then like eight nine year old daughter and say, you know, my name is Sam. I'm anna add it. That's hard. That was not really, but she knew that. When I left. I went off to do something better.
When they found me laying on the floor, I wasn't well. So that was that. So by the time I came back and I started hanging around with her and look at her clear eyes and listening to her voice and her vision of what she wanted to do. And Daddy, do this with me, do that with me. It makes you look at things a lot. Damn right, you know where you a crackhead, crackhead functioning crackhead. I was functioning. I was. I was going to work everything. Yeah, I
was still doing plays. I was working. Most most most of my friends wondered why she lock you up. Wasn't the wrong with you? It was like you was still working. Yeah, they were going to work. And you know I wasn't stealing from the house. I didn't tell the TV and nothing else. You know, I was making money. All we got more with Samuel L. Jackson when we come back, don't move as to Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are
to Breakfast Club. We got a special guest. And you say we got a special guest in the building every day, that's right. Today we really do got a special guest. That's right morning. Everybody is DJ env Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Samuel L. Jackson. You know you talked earlier about, you know, having money and being successful. You still do
five to six movies a year. What energizes you? Wanna give you that motivation to still want to do that so much. I guess it's like ballplayers. It always bothers me to hear that you know, well, you know they are attired because they played three games this week. It's like I used to play basketball every day outdoors on the contract. I can't stand it. Well, it's hot, and theater and working in movies just like that. To me,
it's like theater was hard. I had to get up, go to rehearsal, go do something every night from beginning to end. Three hours of a play from in front of people movies, I get up, I go to work. A long day is three pages, and yes it's a twelve hour day. But if I boiled it down to how much work did I do that day, I might have worked an hour and a half of those twelve hours. Most of the rest of the time in my trailer sleep watching Judge Judy, just doing nothing. So yeah, I
go to that job. And it pays way better than the job I used to have, So yeah, I go to it. Plus I love it. I love the idea of being able to go somewhere, do something else, be somebody else, generally in a place that I normally wouldn't have gone, Like I just finished doing a movie in Croatia, So you get to explore that when you're not working, and being a storyteller and an artist is one of
those things. It's a blessing. Uh. There are only so many acting opportunities in a lifetime, and I own to take all the ones that come before me that I want to do, you know, as often as I get a chance to do them. How serious do you take being the highest GROS pros and actor of all time? Because they say seven point five, you get the dubious honor? Is it? Well? I mean it. It means that I've been on a bunch of movies that people like that were popular, and I like doing popcorn movies, and I
like doing movies that I want to go see. I like movies full of gun violence. I like violent movies. That's what I like. I like scary movies, I like horror movies. I like action movies, so I'll make them. I'll make a serious movie from time to time because I want to help the writer, director, or there's somebody in it that I want to work with. But I'm not necessarily looking forward, you know, no award winning da
da da. I'm just looking to go to work out some fun I must have Hollywood chains from when you first started to where we are now, because we always hear about the different ebbs and flows and difficulty for people getting work and just inclusivity and all of those conversations that we're very focused on trans drastically just because of the number of platforms you have to work. First of all, m you know, when I got there, everything I read had Denzel's fishes or forest woods fingerprints on it.
You know. I see they either turned it down or they were thinking about it and didn't think about it fast enough. And I was like, yeah, I'll do it, So I did it. He was always be fourth firston on the call. I could have been at that time, you know, and that's how it worked. I didn't care. I was going to work, but over the years because of, like I said, the number of platforms that so many jobs.
Now consequently, it still comes down to a lot of times that same thing that you know, I used to bitch about it because I spent my time going to acting school. That a lot of people who still do go to Juilliard and Yale and all these other people. But a lot of YouTube started getting jobs. You know. Still people from the music industry just decide the next day and say, and I'm an actor, and somebody get a chance to do it. Sometimes they turn out to
be okay, sometimes not so much. But there's room now for everyone to work. Who surprised you by being really great on set that might have come from the world of Instagram or YouTube and you were like, oh, they were actually really good. I watched meth develop over the years. How was busted when when you work with Buster? Buster was Buster was fine, you know, and Bustle was great as what Bustle was there to be. But bust it
was still busting. A person from the music industry, who you go what we had six thirty calls busted to be there about eight. I know that gotta drive you crazy, drive me crazy. We just do something else. But what what role did you pass up? And like, damn, I shouldn't passed up that role if any No, No, I mean I read films that I didn't do that people did, and you know, I feel like, you know, I feel like I was in the matri because I dodged a
bullet that was bad, you know. And then there are films that I passed up that were successful that I'm glad they were successful because I would have done it differently. But I wouldn't. Uh, I don't think I would have had fun doing it. I always firmly believe that you only do the things that are for you, Right. I read that you almost lost your role and put fiction to another actor. Yeah, how do you think that would
have changed the trajectory of your career? That would have happened none, because I'd already won this award at the cam Film Festival for The Jungle Fever and I was getting the call at that time. So I did a couple of jobs after that, you know, that were between that and pulp Fiction and what happened. And then who was the other actor in that movie? He's in the movie, He's actually in it? Was it a brother? He could
be called a brother. He's brand was still both of us ended up in the movie movie had a small apartment movie. Now you got kicked out of more House For a minute, Now did you get thrown out of more House? And then how did they get you back in? How did that out? Well, basically what we locked the board of trustees on them building people. Well, we weren't kidnapping, and they were right there. They just didn't want to talk to us. The board of trustees. We asked and
talk to him, and they said we aren't time. So we took the chains off the walkway and went down the street to the hardware store and bought padlock and went inside and chained the door shut and said talk to us. Now, well, we're trying to talk about that important black studies. No student involvement on the trustee board, no community involvement, and we were sitting right in the mills some projects, you know, so that was lots of different things. Uh, the actual black members of the board
didn't even have a real vote. Wow, So we were trying to get things changed and you know, and they said, fine, we did it, and then you know they did the whole book. Yeah, well we get it. And you guys will give you amnesty bus. So when everybody left the school was out, they called a specific group of us back and summarily kicked us out of school. All that was happening, and you know, in the middle of the next year. So my mom threatened to sue him, saying like, okay,
you can come in now. You you worked with John Singleton on the first Shaft film, right, How how did the him passing, you know, change? How did the change? It was the film was finished and in the can Tim was off doing something else. Tim he and I and Tim were good friends. Uh. Actually John and I were about to do a film this fall. Wow, So I was, I was. I was kind of bummed. If that film still gonna happened. I was in Croatia. Yeah, it's gonna happen. It's gonna find it. Right, You didn't
want John on Chaff. I didn't have anything to do with that. You love Chaff the movie, the character, the richer character, my character. That was just crazy. What we're talking about. The Shriff make you feel because whoever the audio, I'm trying to get it down by the paper. To have three shafts instead of one, it's always good most shaft and you can handle good tagline? All right, we got more with Samuel L. Jackson when we come back,
don't move. It's to breakfast Clumble, Morning Morning. Everybody's DJ Envy Angela yee, Charlomagne the guy, we are the breakfast club. We're still kicking it with Samuel L. Jackson yee. So let me ask you about Harlem today, right, because this is Shaft twenty nineteen. So what kind of role does Harlem today play because it is different than what Harlem was like even twenty years ago. Well, if you look
at hours, you can't really all that. It was funny though, because the first day we pulled up to work in Harlem, the first eight people we saw a white you know, so it was it was, it was, it was. It was pretty out there to see that, you know, and the change of the I guess culture, what about social media and monern technology? In this Shaft, he's the He's the kid that understands that in another kind of way,
uh that my analog asks doesn't necessarily understand. That's that's that's part of the generational difference that we use in the film to like create human how he can uh, show me things that I didn't know. And you know there are someome, some slightly unpec jokes in here that he helps fix. Also, you know there's a whole joke about this organization called Brothers Watching Brothers. We keep questioning that. It's like, it's funny how that plays out. Be shot
through a lot of the movie in Atlanta. So when you say brothers watching Brothers, they go small man, that Cathain Coffer shaff in Atlanta gotta be funny as hell. I didn't say that, but I gotta reflect. I gotta translate the real life for you too, though, as far as social media right, like that gotta be a culture shock to you in a lot of ways. Sam Jackson or john Shaw, you in real life, Samuel L. Jackson
got a gang of folds. Yeah he's pretty good. But I'm saying, when you're bad with my social media, I imagine myself always amazing people. They always going somebody else is doing this, announce me. I feel like I disappeared sometimes and you know, back up, But what about when you go to your mentions and they're talking crazy to you about something my daughter told me a long time ago? Interact Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I read that. Yeah I
blocked blocking don't know me? Yeah yeah, yeah, how will you as a dad and a husband, because you all you're the curse king. I was saying, Yeah, I'm that guy. I mean I never talked baby talked to my daughter. I just talked to her. I heard her, you know, slay you to her friends when she was a little. Yeah. Look, you can talk like that to your friends. You can't talk like that to grown people. Okay, you ask what did they do? And you're like, yeah, I got hear
him talking or whatever. Or my wife tells this story. We actually went to a friend of ours wedding in Detroit and this lady was carrying Zoe and she said, baby wants some of these food and zo He looked, what is that? The lady was like baby, no, and ladies just put her down. It's like who baby is it? But we never shield her, talked to her. Plus, she went to the theater with us all the time. When she was small. We had to go to work, so
we take her to the theater. She hang out with the stage manager, She go backstage collect valuables, talk to all actors, hang out with them. So she's a cool kid growing, very cool kid growing up. Now she's you know, she's still a cool kid. Had a great job, she's good work ethics. She h produces shows like Top Chef and Top Chef Masters, and she just did um she did last season's Project Runway. So you've been married man
thirty eight years, right, longer year. Congratulate man, Give us, give us, give us young men tips on how to have that kind of longevity in the marr, I guess like my wife says, you gotta have some amnesia. Uh I heard say that. I was like, yeah, both of you a little amnesia from hiding from you from time to time. Understand that when you're in a bad place,
there's a way to work it out. It's easy to walk away, but to create a strong relationship, you gotta work through things sometimes and sometimes you just gotta say you sorry when you ain't. Yeah, yeah, and you gotta own it. Well. You know, today is National Black Men Don't Cheat Day. But National Black Men came up with that and they ain't no makeup. It's to be changing the narrative black men don't cheat. Just today no man monogamy O. Faithful black men. Women were celebrating I've been
married eighteen years. He's been married him Yes, you, yeah, you yeah, Okay, hasn't been hard to be faithful all these years, especially being in Hollywood. You don't do it Hollywood. People keep saying it if yeah, I mean you. So the voice rate is the same everywhere. Like Chris Rock said, a man is only faithful as his options. Stars get way more options. Total doctors, that's true, total pro tennis players, golfers, race car drivers. So it have to been easy or
hard for you to remain faithful. I guess it's easy. I'm an only child, so I'm very comfortable with myself. I like being alone, so I know how to entertain myself. Sounds crazy at a lot of lotion on that good. That's fine too. Once I got sober, it was easier for me to be comfortable with me. I didn't need to validate my existence with other people or other things
or substances, or or praise from people. Understand that if I do this, it's gonna be more trouble in his word, right, you know, So a moment of instant gratification is not, you know, as valid as the relationships that I have that you know the history that I've created with somebody that I and that's exactly why black men don't chang. But there's probably nowhere he's looking at you like you're crazy.
I'm just saying it's reality here. Have you ever hated a character you had to play, because there's characters that you've had to play like that person is like in Jango, because I don't mind playing the bense document, you know, but people definitely Stephen has his fans. Yeah, Uncle Ruckus and a lot of people like Steve just because Stephen is unapologetically evil? Did he always used that as a meme on social media now and ever they want to call somebody to sell out that that meme pops up.
Anybody would try to like that. That character made so many people so mad. Listen, But I know, and that's the point of it. I did stuff in that movie that's not in the movie that really would have been really one of these days, Quentin to put it out there, Oh my god, I can't imagine that. I don't want people to kill you, because that's another case where I saw the movie. It's like, man, what happened to my
same look too much? I can't even imagine what he might have done that was worse than what we saw. I mean, I can in my head, baby, would you do that role in this political climate? You know you got all these woke people. Yeah, it's a role. People ask about it. I mean actors. Actors should be able to portray whatever they need to portray. You played it very well too well. Thank you. I was like, damn, man, I can't. I really like him, but I really don't
like him today. Did you still enjoyed him yet? Enjoy it? Definitely? Enjoy come on, come on now. As soon as you saw him, he's like, oh my god, what is he talking about? The Well, we appreciate you join us. I know you gotta go coming to America? Are you gonna rob Prince? I keman this with are you in this? When I asked them that because somebody was asking me about, you know, coming to America and I was like, what yowing me back? And I was like, I own mcdowalls. Now,
I don't know. Maybe you just got out of jail and you go rob him again? Get robbery. He can be reformed. He was super that's about right now. I would like it if he was reformed and he actually had a business now and he you know, had changed his life around. That's your choice. Yeah, okay, I'm a packet optimistic person all right. At L Jackson, thank you for coming, rather appreciate you. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. May say that gang don't get the same man you
are talking today, Just not discriminate. I might not have the song of today, but I got the donkey that. If you ever feel I need to be a donky man, hit it with the practice club bitch. I just don't keep the day today well, and Sharon dont Year to
day goes to my Carolina brethren, Cam Coldheart. I was highly entertained by Cam Coldheart this weekend, not because he did anything particularly entertaining, but because watching him try to convince the Internet that he wasn't bothered by the beatdown that he received it the hands of the baby, when he was clearly bothered by the beatdown he received it
the hands of the baby was highly entertaining. Now, if you haven't heard a quick recap, Cam Coldheart is a rapper from Charlotte who is clearly highly upset that the baby, who's also from Charlotte is on and not him. Trust me, I went down to Cam cold Heart rabbit Hole this Memorial Weekend. And for the past couple of years, you Cam Coldheart have done nothing but taunt the baby. You have had nothing good to say about the baby. Let's listen to this heat. How the hell do you carry
guns with no license? And you convitt the feeling and you popped it in Walmart and you ain't at least cass to convit. The feeling charts or can concealed with either the police or you lying and somebody else putting that good and you move getting the same off of you. Don't like you popping And it's just me speaking for the people. Come on, man, anybody to know me or this look? Know this look not really trying to fight me? This little peewee as little what I throw you'all cat
trying from Lotus album. Now, y'all a cloud Chail, I got Cloud safe white. They respawning the league because I got Cloud. There's I got Clouk trying to get claught off me around him, talking like he's tough like this make I'm sure he's good at home, because you know I really can make it the way he won't be he feels me, you won't even be safe to come home or do it so low will if I said so and shut shrop the andres y'all drop just wentever right now, I'm on the way. That's on my kids,
that's on Charlotte, that's on the chair lines. I'm on the way right now. Wow, listen and that that that's just a snippet you really well, that's just really a snippet of what you've been doing the past couple of week. I don't even want to picture you at home just looking up all these clips. Man, I'm an old man. I like to see the young boys just hack up from a fall. All right, my brother, cam Coldheart. If nobody else was gonna tell you, I'm gonna tell you,
you look like a grade A hater. Okay. You look like a man who is highly upset the baby is on and not you, okay, which I think is wild because the Carolinas need to be sticking together. You should be rooting for the baby to win, because when he wins, he opens the floodgage for a bunch of New Carolina artists. As you can see, the baby is prospering, stunning for Vegas is right behind him. I see the young man rich dunk moving black Zach moving to your Karee, Renny Rucci.
All I'm saying is the baby got people talking, So why not celebrate him instead of hate on him? Because the next person who could benefit from him shining a light on the Carolinas, in particular North Carolina. Maybe you well. Cam Coldheart and the baby ended up in the same Louis Vaton store this weekend. Louis Vaton staring South Park Mall I believe and Cam Coldheart decided to taunt the baby, decided to talk reckless to the baby, and well, it didn't in the way I think he wanted it too,
because Cam Coldheart got caught with his pants down. Literally, y'all look at it, baby, the baby talking, he walking up on me like you about to do? So what you don't do? What you're taking your boy? What? Excuse me? I think that was a waite lady. Can can we hear the aftermath of the altercation? Conquel cold Hard, I'm the truth? Knock them out? Me do low quick? Playing with the boys up? Pick you passed up? All right? First of all, kids, this video shows the importance of belts.
All right, the fat Cam cold Heart was attempting to buy a belt and then Cam ended up on the ground with his pants around his ankles. Shows why belts are so important. You really shouldn't leave home without one. Even though Cam got caught with his pants down, he shouldn't have got caught with his pants down because he was aware of the baby's body. You can't act already with no belt and your pants hanging around your ankles.
All right. I watched Cam try to fight the baby with his phone in one hand and trying to keep his pants up with the other hand. You wasn't even ready for what you was asking for. Cam, Come on now, oh Cam cold heart? The next day was was acting like he was unbothered. But when the person keeps telling you over and over how unbothered they are, they are clearly bothered. Loo can be real or ain't it okay? D though got to split it in the followed Oh God, don't make a brave me so much more to some
something me feel me. I'm about to just follow this won't matter. Lambo truck on the way this year, That's what I'm talking about. Lambo truck on the way a day. Listen, don't encourage this, lamb I want you to listen to your uncle Shaula, my brother cam A right, people are laughing at you, not with you, all right, don't let this be your legacy, my guy. I don't care how how many new ig followers you got. I don't care
how many blogs post you. None of that matters when it comes to who you are as a man who cares. If you get a new Lambo truck, you're just gonna be the guy in the Lamboat truck did the baby beat up? And with your luck, the only Lamboat truck colors that will be available are black and blue, all right, which will be yet another reminder of how the baby beat you. Look. I have no remorse from anyone who trolls someone online the way cam Cohat was trolling the baby.
If you're taught to somebody online like that, talking crazy to someone online like that, you get what you earned, okay, not what you deserved, what you earned, all right? Cam. You cause this whole situation on yourself because you've been hating on the baby. You cloud chasing, and now you got the cloud, but not the clout you was looking for. See words matter and clout has a couple of definitions. One is influence or power, especially in politics and business.
That's the cloud everyone is chasing nowadays. They want power, all right, they want influence. But the other definition for clout and you can look it up. If you think I'm lying a sawn about Cardie being an offset, No, you know that's it's a heavy blow with the hand or a hard object, all right. Sending them for cloud include smack, slap, punch, bang. So, yes, you was chasing cloud and you got it. You got those heavy blows from the baby's hand. And I don't care if you
got jumped. No such thing as a fan one, my brother, because life is not fair. You said you was ready for whatever, that's part of it or whatever. Cam listen, treat people the way you want to be treated. Talk to people the way you want to be talked to. Respect is earned, not giving. Trust me. I've been punched on camera before because you can't tell people how to react to what you say about them. And I ran when I got punched on camera. The videos on YouTube
right now, it was like six seven years ago. The reason I ran is because I didn't want to end up like Cam coldhearten lay it out on the ground, bloody with my pants around my ankles. But I'm saying all that to say, when you put disrespect out there, the disrespect will return to you. So I just want everyone to know that all recklessness that's displayed online, all this talking crazy to people, all this running up on people with cameras because you want Cloud, let Cam cold
Heart be a listening to us. All. You don't deserve what you haven't earned. You get what you give, and Cam you earned that beat down and the viral embarrassment that comes with it. Please let remm give Cam cold Heart the biggest he ha he ha he haa. You're stupid, mother, f are you? And don't feel sorry for him? We can tell and once again he is not on All right, this is not going to translate to any money. It's not gonna translate that any deals. It's just gonna be
a bunch of viral embarrassment and digital depression. That's it, all right. We got more coming up next with a Breakfast The Breakfast Club back. You're checking out the world's most dangerous morning show Morning everybody is DJ Envy Angela Ye, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. His album is out right now, Father of Far Welcome Welcome. So first and foremost, why did you change the name of the album? Was
the name before? I thought it was another name of the alb before, never put no name. I Oh, I just want to I'll do that for my kids, you know. You know what I mean, a lot of people only know about culture. But yeah, I just wanted to focus on my kids. I got folk kids and I've been having kids like my oldest son nine. You know what
I'm saying. It's just growing up mature. I mean the music mature on twenty sound, I'm mature seeing going through somebody had a rough year this ship too, So I just want to focus on my kids and give out some good content music that's interesting to hear. You said you had a rough year because we saw you be in jail before and all that. We made the year rough, you know, made the year rough. Breakups, car accident, We're talking almost lost my life on our trying to say
somebody up life. So just just just just just the time to grow up, and I just want to show another side of me that people don't really see. It was very personal. A lot of things that you told on this this album, like you talk about your relationship or not having a relationship with your dad, how does that affect you as far as how you treat your kids or growing up and fitting me a lot. That's why I think I was running around doing so much.
I ain't really had no father guidess, so without that and then you got the streets, you just let the streets guide you your mama. You now your mama will become the person you hide from. Your mama with your dad, yeah, yeah, but it's still be a different connection, you know what I mean. I don't really know how to connection would because I ain't got no I made sure i'd reflected on my kids, but it'd be hard sometimes with schedulings too, because time is everything with all four of them at once.
I actually had three photos shoes. I just posted to the first rough drift, but we had three photos that boy, because I got five. And that's the toughest thing ever. Smile. All of them work straight, and if you're working so hard I was trying to get it done, I'm not even really noticing. It's like eleven nine, twelve o'clock, so then I'm getting frustrated. But I gotta keep it in. I'm like, just called down. We couldn't get it done. Coach is the toughest one because she's the youngest. So
she hungry, she crying, She hungry, she crying. She don't want to sit somewhere us for a little minute. She's not trying to sit down. Period. It was tough, but we got out though. I'm been on that big on that I been doing that. I enjoyed it. So even with the money and everything, and if they say they say the grandma's there, the mama there, You're like, no, I gota. I just I feel like the moments be special to like even changing your child's paying for, Like
that's a special moment between you and your child. I was gonna with the nine year old with so much talking about coach, of course, because with CARDI did he feel a certain way like damn, they always talk about coaching. Don't talk about me or talk about my siblings. Nah, he ain't never no, no, no, no, he's still a kid. I try to keep my kids kids or that Instagram. I don't really let the rock out on it like that, you know what I mean? He played sports, but no,
it ain't never ain't never been a comparison. They'd they'd be pressing me by seeing her. And you know, we gotta put her home private planes because people we just I'm trying to keep my kids kids. I don't want nobody. That's why I never I never moved to LA because I ain't. I don't want cameras all in the face. Because one time my oldest son was like, somebody said something in school and he's like, my daddy got my
money to your daddy. I beat him though, I beat it, like kid, yeah, And then he thought he's thinking, and then he was I was seeing how when he told me, and he and he's told me how he's feeling like it's okay. So I had to had a whoop up about that. And I'm like, because I wanted to be telling the truth though, right, I don't know. I keep I keep I keep him in public school though, so
you know what I mean? Keeping a kid is it hard having more than one baby mama at times, But now at this point in all you gotta you gotta keep it about the kids. It's about the kids here. This is what you need. Friday's when provide schooling about housing, I'm aboube transtation. What you provide your lifestyle. But I made sure that everybody, you know what I mean, everything good for the kids because I want my kids in good house and I don't want to be I can't
be on this one, can't. Everybody has to have some a nice place, a nice school district like that, because if the moms are happy and comfortable, and makes the kids happy and comfortable, because they're the ones that have to help make sure that the kids are good. So all the baby mamas gotta have a Bentley truck. No, we all got to just be having a good transportation, good area to stay in with a good school distess. You know, you were very honest about where you were
at in your life when you had your kids. You know, you talk about on leg about what you had to do in order to provide for your firstborn son, which was very difficult. And then you even talk about your daughter and not even knowing for sure if that was your daughter. At first. It was like one of the hardest moments in my life is to be honest because I was I was trying to have a kid, but she got to my mom on Facebook and then when I see her the kid. I know it's me, you
know what I mean? But she five months I don't even notice. I know I see her one time. I didn't know what state I noticed my daughter. It's my first daughter, but she's so beautiful. I couldn't do it like that, trying to be invisible. I couldn't do that. I just had this man up. I want a decision to finally open the world up to culture because people were trying to see the pictures for as soon as y'all had it. What was it like the first time
we saw it was exact on the cover of your album. People, I got so much to say, it's our daughter, you know, first, you gotta protect it. Attempts to see what's going on first. She's still like we still will probably not be just posting her all the time because it's o kid. You
gotta keep some private. Man. How do you forget how much is too much to give it your personal leg I don't feel like it's never too much when you're starting to grow and you're being a grown man, you know what I mean, Because it's grown man talk about the issues they face it you and it's okay to say you messed up. You know what I mean. That's
what's good. I think the human part of it, of you admitting the situation with your firstborn daughter and just saying how at first you didn't really want to believe this, and how you had to come to accept it. But so many people have been in that position, and maybe it will encourage people to be better about stepping up and handling their responsibilities no matter what the circumstances were. Just face it like man. And so when I made
that song, I just felt relieved. Honestly, some of my partners, I didn't even know that it's just like it. Thanks you. I was just keeping in. But I felt like this album got to be different because I'm grown. I'm doing real grown man. I can't keep somebody the diamonds and they call I was trying to put move music on there because it was going through. That's why I was taking my time, pushing back, taking my time because I ain't. I wanted to be able to control the content, because
I feel like content music coming back around that. We see you talking about the lean in the album too, that you used to use lean a lot. Have you done with all the drug use at all? Right now? I'm cleaning it up right now, you ain't gonna you can't really work for real. It's like you a whole another person, no matter what you're doing, and then you think you're not. And I'm just starting to learn, like what is it doing for me what I'm doing for somebody else? Kid? When they look at me, you know
what I mean? When I'm doing for my kids, when they're looking at me and they see everything. If you got in the cook your cook I know how my kids see. My son asked me like that, what you're drunk and I want some juice. I'm just machaing, bro, I'm going through a little little things. I'm married now. And Cardia issues with that too, Right did she tell you like you got to chill out on that or you can't come back in the house. Now? She ain't doing like that, you know what I mean. She's just
you know, they jab at you start doing that. I like you with you, and then you notice because certain things you do if you don't change your loose people around you, and you made the poor decisions. Port His decisions come from that at decisions because you're not you and I ain't trying to do that anymore. I did that all right? We got more with Offset when we come back, don't move. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning Morning. Everybody's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy we are
the breakfast Club. Offset is hearing his album Father Affords out right now, Charlemagne. One of the recurring themes on your album, you talk about not wanting to have money just for yourself, because that's selfish. You do leave it for your kids. Exactly. All these lifestyle changes is for that. I'm kicking and dog breaking the house because he wanted to know left of the money from the family. Ever,
it was never no money. I don't never want to take my kids to know how my kids gonna be doing anything Like they're struggling and I'm like this, and I got all these cars, and I got all this here, and I got and I'm gonna star. I'll be seeing like I've seen nas I'll be seeing I'll be reading and watching like I put his money up, put his money right here, put this money right here. Then, man, CARDI got to buy a house in a level off your video. But we were just talking, like we need
to start doing this. CARDI hit me one time about investing in Jurors University in the Lanta, and that's what I like to see. And the fact when I was talking to out there, he was like, yeah, I'm on that, you know what I mean. And that's that that wealth that you could say, here, my kids, here, this is for y'all exactate off that every month until y'all give it to your kids and y'all kids kids, And that's what it should be about. Yeah, man, I'm own being
and some having houses. Trying to department a complication in Atlanta right now because I ain't know like condos. It's a little in ain'tnum of the little binds too. And while I'm frong, I'm two hundred listen to two hundred thirty thousan two hundred fifty thousand. All these condos you've fend thirty five hundred a month at least, and you can own them as long as it's under market value. Always be good. But if you buy let's say a complex in Atlanta, let's say it might be a million dollars,
that rit role you just use that to play. I gotta I gotta a complex that just pays my fun, that that handles my cars, my jewelry, my wife. I got to touch that. That's that condo. Everything else is something different, you know what I mean? And you just do that and as long as you keep that mind frame, you'd be good do anything for Cloud. Your generation likes
to focus on everything but talent. So is it hard for you not to get caught up in that sometimes because sometimes got a little bit and talking, but you know, I be coming at you. Social media come at you like some punches. But that might not be for Cloud. That's just you responding or reacting. But then people look at this Cloud to you know, you know what I mean. You felt social media with to come at your ruin your relationship at one time, for sure they were going there.
We we were Charlotte Maney ninety. Now we had you back for sure. You know that ru Yeah, I know that. I know that. You just hope that things make your I just want people to be realistic. No, we had you back. We just want to stronger. I'm wrong, like I did somethin that's wrong, But bro, I don't kill me. And so we know a lot of my folks allot me and my people to work this out because not serious, It's not no game. It's not no, you know what I'm saying. This is an issue, but it's also a
practice situation. And I like for the fact that as for women, you know, I think that it is important to acknowledge a woman's real feelings and hurt that a woman might have. Sometimes people are like, oh, just take them back, but it is a process. It is is you proving that you've messed up, that you've changed, and they want to say that, they want saying take them back. It was But that's how I know she loved me. They weren't trying to not wanted it to be over. Yeah,
I'm new to being married. I'm twenty I was twenty six. Man, I'm twenty something in the prime. After having the number one, after having the best year, my two down seventeen was the best year, my Chris, my group everything, You know what I mean, You gotta learn like it's not no game. You ain't no game. You do what was right. In my opinion, you fought and you fought and you did what you had to do when nobody saying that was
the weird thing. Everybody was giving you flak when you came out on stage with the cake and then I'm done. I don't give it down. I love my girl. Yeah, I called my wife on a live Charlomagne, gass me up for that one. But I called them live on it real real, real, right live, Hey baby, love you. I'm sorry, you know what I mean for real come back. But it got me, Charlomagne, it was for Cloud, great ratings for us. No, I wanted he was coming out head,
he was coming to here. I didn't know what was wrong. He was about to quit the job. And then I was like, yo, whatever you got going on, you need to let everybody know. And then he said that, and I'm like, oh, that got real. I didn't know. You know what I said with your wife some time, letting everybody know, Like, bro, you learn yourself, no, because you got you gotta be a man, like I said with that album, like you gotta step forward and face what
it is you gotta face. I love is beautiful time, bro, and it's probably cool at like, Bro, we get hurt too, bro, and we can say it. Bro. It's okay though with thever time when you felt like, you know, let me fall back and give it her space. I ain't gonna say nothing on the ground. I ain't gonna come out of her should I'm just gonna let her go and say something on the grammar I was pressing up. I
wasn't giving those places people say you got. You ain't giving nothing but give your girls to space who basically you, bro, I lose it all. I lose her. I'm telling you early like who I'm pulling up. Man, if you love something, let it go, if it come back to you with yours. So you did that. It came by y'all. Let it go, don't let it go. Might don't come back. You keep fighting, might don't come back. Man, you're real man. You were scared that he was gonna lose a feller for shore.
I heard a girl like this. Yeah yeah, never again. You're good now. Everything you gotta keep, man. You gotta go through steps in different things a week, you bro. So y'all did the marriage counseling and all that work for gotta keep. Don't stop. I'll still talk about you, just just how you've grown. Right, because you talk about your grandmother on the album and listen to her you talking about your old life for robbing. Did you do some type of therapy or something like to deal with
the trauma you mad. Yeah, you know what therapy I went through or jail real that was let's save my life. A lot of you can's brow especially music, Bro, they'd be like trying to be locked up. Bro, I had these judge in my face, like I see you again, I'm gonna give you ten years, keyr ain't no, I'll set and I've been last time I had that last arrestaurant, I was in the States, Bro, I did nothing. I was with my security, didn't call him of a charge

So that just made me focus all the way down out on when I get out, Bro, I'm never doing this no more. I'm gonna do this this this I'm gonna turn my sent into a monster with music. And I did that even with your your your temper, because back in the day, seem like you would always get in the fights and like, how did you calm that down? It ain't worth it. I'm gonna lose.
I start seeing I just started seeing like the os is like people want to try to pis you up and the pay out people want to try you, Bro. This tight game. It ain't no point of being tough. What you're being tough and you're wrapping for you're making millions, Bro. So when you're getting the little beefs with people right like like to say Chris Brown or whoever, do you ever think you would really throw it away for social media? I don't even want to talk about that because you're like, Bro,
I stepped out of my apologize to my fans. My fault. You know I'm who I am. I ain't even pot to be replying. I ain't even replying. It my fault going on shout at you know what I mean.

You can even let the streets take you away, or you can kick in with your family. A lot of folks the streets take them away from
the mama and grandmama lay every time. So I just been on the other side too. I've been a father that was locked up, tripping, not really focused on life goals, not really focusing on taking care of the kids, I'm just buying little things, but I'm really being selfish because I don't have nothing myself. I know how mama's could be too, like it's a dirty ain't too now, and Mama could have been playing the dirty. And then he got to a point where he just gave up, say
something like why myself? You would you and you're doing all this. It's just I've been on the other side. So I ain't mad at your pops. How your mom feel about that? Though your mom like, man, I don't do nothing for him. He wasn't around My mom gonna know how to type heart of type personal ams, so she should be respecting it. Like trying to keep trying to find her, So I don't give up on trying

I need to meet my sister that I don't know. I need to meet. I need to be I need to make sure my family good. I gotta provide, bro, it's real, Like who life did you save in the car crash? You say he was trying to save somebody else, like he had to swear till he probably was like a fiend, because how you just in the middle of
the street when I'm looking it's running. I'm I'm still going to look what I sent me going. I'm going about fifty on a one way street and I see you. You look and then I'm super close to you now, so I like, what were we going? And then I go around and how how how the haircut is? It fished tail? And I didn't have my traction on, so at first it's black. I couldn't even see what I was sitting. And there was a treat pump. I know, I just and I remember when I hit everything. I
felt my teeth because my father bottom two came. I felt my teeth come out. I couldn't blink this eye. But the dude came to the window, and like I had to see if I was dead, and how the dough was the dough with jams so I couldn't get out this my dough. So I just yell like I'm panicking. I'm like, what you're doing. I'm trying to tell him to open the dough. He's just going he run off. I climb out from the other side, because the car
was squished, so it had jammed the doors. But the other dough was good though, because I had hit it kind of on the left side drive side instead of this side. So when I crawl out, my jury started fallowing off my neck. Now I don't know where to do that. I started grabbing my own. I'm like, I'm like, I ain't trying to get it, rob. I ain't trying to get rob me baby gonna live. I'm like, I ain't trying to get your I grabbed that. I remember, just I just remember I grabbed it, and then I
remember like a dude was running like yo. He ran down to me and I couldn't really see. I got so much blood and because it covered I'm walking because I was probably half a quarter mile from my house, I'm walking to the house. And then he just helped me walk up and he just did do help you just angel. Come to find out he was walking from working. He walked from work. He used a single fall the team with two kids. So I had bottom a car
and blew me. Right. I bought him a little Nisan. Right, they're telling me on the internet, why don't you buy him a Nissan? You should have brought him. He sage a lot, you should part him may back gonna do it ain't good enough. I ain't had no pr I ain't had nobody tell me that. I was looking for him at first, but I'm like, man, it's just a walking man walking down the street bro at four o'clock in the morning. Then when I went to I went to hospital, I was just thinking about that, like, man,
who was that? Who was that? That? Just did that? Didn't I needed that? He was like, oh my god, but all's that wrong? And he's still When I got in the house, I was leaning him like, ye'all take you to the hospital. By the time I looked, he was walking. When we were driving, we was pulling off. He was walking back wherever he had work. And now he's driving the knees on. That was the crazy experience.
I've never been in the carsson before that. Yeah, I crashed and the dog count over one ship right here on my face. It's not close. It ain't got bent in. And then when I get to the hospital, they tell me ninety percent of people die every time they hit the tree. They're coming through the window. And I didn't have no seatbelt on, so those brushes were death. Between that and your partner dying in your arms, that that's changed your whole perspective, whole perspective. All my kids gonna
