It's only because they don't take

us serious in that space right now. They look at black people and they think we're only supposed to be writing about one thing, which is usually the screet life, right and that's that's like like they want us just to walk write an identity of corruption and nothing that develops us or gives us some science about life.

D Angela, Charlomagne, the guy, We all the breakfast club. We got a special guest in the buildings. Indeed, this is the first time man finally get the energy

right here. God damn Sugar. A K eighteen of Snow in the Building album is out right now, let's let's start it. For people that don't know, how did it Meg the Stallion start out as a rapper? How did you get into this rap game? So my mom was a rapper, and like every day after school and when she would get off work, I will see her in her room writing and stuff. And then she would be like going to the studio and I'll be in the little waiting room and I'm pretty sure she thought I

was in there doing like little kids stuff. But I'll be like listening at the door, like okay, yeah, And I really thought it was normal. I kind of low key thought everybody mama was doing that. Yeah I didn't know, so like, I don't know, it was just normal. So I would eventually like start stealing her CDs with like all her instrumentals on there, and like start sneaking and writing, and then she'll be like asking, like have you seen

my CDs? And I'll be like no, like and then like eventually, when I graduated from high school, I was like, I can wrap and she was like, no, you can't. And I was like, yeah, I can't. She was like, let me hear you. So I started rapping and she

was like, oh my god, like rapa. I really don't remember what I was saying, but I remember wrapped over like that, I'm different beat by two chains and she was like, oh like so then ever since then, like I don't think she still even took me seriously then, so I started going to the studio on my own, and so when she knew I was at the studio by myself and stuff, she was like, oh, hell no, I'm a manage you and we too. I was exactly how I rapped now, like I was talking probably a

more crazy life. I was like, Mama, don't be mad, I'm a curse okay, and she was she was like okay. I don't think she knew exactly how hard I was about to go. And she was like, I don't know where your mouth came from. And the only thing my mama ever played for me, was like PEMC U g k oh. Yes, my daddy only played three six mo fia. So understand why y'all not figuring out why I'm talking like this. So I read somewhere that Pimc's wife wanted to she had vocals for you that she wanted. Ye,

I mean I got the vocals. I got vocals from her and Juicy J. So I mean I was working. I'm still working on my album. Like I had to hurry up and put together EP like of songs that I just really liked that I recorded so far, but like stuff like that, I really liked to take my time because I really look up to PEMC. So I really wanted to. I want to do the song right.

How long did it take for you to to I don't want to say pop, but to actually pop because it seems like on the outside world it seems like it was fast. So it seems like it was a little rumbling and then it was going. I feel like I'm I'm still getting there, Like I don't feel like I'm just like I don't feel like I've like popped.

How many platinum singles you got already? Three? I mean, no, you got the right attitude that they don't only count until you put out a debut out right, Yeah, I feel like I just got a lot more work to do,

Like I like to work. I like to hustle. I don't feel like nothing should just be given to me, like I really do want to work for you think that sometimes people are misjudged, like looking from the outside with you know, hot girl and all of that, because I looked at it and we were trying to have this discussion on just being like somebody about your business as a woman that is independent, taking care of yourself. You go to school, TSU shout out to TSU shot

because they show proud of you. But sometimes people think that means you just out here holing and that, and then they think that that's what it is, um being

a hot girl. You know, it really started off as me really just letting everybody know what type of summer I was about to have, Like me just being unapolo, unapologetic, me just doing what I want to do, not really caring about anybody else's opinion, Like me just being me, you know, just doing what we want to do as women, Like we shouldn't be trying to fit into like a certain standard that people try to put us in a certain box. People try to put us and you should

just do what makes you happy. Now, when the boys got involved, it was like, oh yeah, y'all on that high girl, y'all think y'all this, and then it turned into like a whole like ballo. Yeah. I was like, whoa y'all making this? Something started that Yeah, well they drunk it. I was like, damn like high girls like I was saying, that was like, yeah, real high girl, And I was like, what did you do for the fall?

I went it's high girl semester. Oh yeah, when we went back school, we got more with Megan the Stallion. When we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Come on, the Breakfast Club is back backs should thing everybody in DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Meg the Stallion. Charlomagne. Do you think this is a situation where major company is poaching off the work that A

fifteen on one day to help you get to this point? No, like Rock Nation don't have nothing to do with the problems. We was already going through. I don't like it. I don't like that, you know, people bring up jay Z like jay Z and I worried about them, like you're saying names that I feel like, it's just you're just trying to draw like attention to the situation, like facts or public. I don't have to lie. Why would I lie?

Like I just I feel like people want to bully me, like you don't have to gang up on me, like I didn't do nothing in the y'ase. So I really don't understand where it's coming from. I think I think a lot of that came from I think you said that that Rock Nation looked at the contract and told

you something. So when when I finally got real lawyers and like you know, people around me that knew what they were talking about, it was like, some things in my contract are just uncomfortable in the state of Texas. So it's like, well, let's just fix the things that are wrong. So I just wanted to renegotiate my contract. It look like things are going to move to our dad direction. Are you feeling like, do you feel like

if you had a conversation. I tried to have a conversation because he said he had cars that he hasn't heard from you since August. He's like, I haven't had heard from me before that. Like we just don't have a relationship. So it's not nothing that's brand new. Is not because of rock Nation. We just already didn't have a relationship. Maybe call was the money guy, but he wasn't the day to day guy. That's what it seems like.

I mean, like I said, like I couldn't well, I know what's being said, it's not true, like all that hundreds of thousands of dollars, like people not even you know, putting it out there, Like we asked for the proof and you're not even giving us the proof of that. Like I gotta go back and look at some of your old Instagram pictures. Thank god, we got an album out today, So it's not even my album, Like it's

an EPP. So who is Sugar now? So Sugar? It's basically just like a girl who is going through it, but she getting through it. It's like me basically letting people know that I'm not perfect. I'm a human. I know I'll be fucking up, but I'll be trying. I'll be getting through it. You know what, I'm saying, and I just I don't like the I don't like the

fact that everybody be trying to seem so perfect. Why perfect, But obviously people are online they just are all so amazing and nothing's wrong with them and they've never been through in their life. So I mean, that's more so what I'm talking about. And then it whack. Know that you gotta you gotta learn that in real time, like you gotta that have to play out in front of the world, you know what I'm saying, Those growing pains, I mean, it's just all a part of being in

the light. So I can't complain. I knew knew what I was getting into, so it's not nothing I'm upset about. It's just I'm just learning as I go. So when I put my head, I'll just be like, Okay, you and the Baby make great records with each other. Yeah, y'all doing an album together? Is that a plan to do it a full project? I don't know if we're gonna do a full project, but I know we definitely got some music that's gonna come up and some other

things I don't want to say yet. Yeah, the Baby always says if he could do a collab album with somebody would be you I love him, Like, I really think that will be fired if we actually did it. What type of deal is making the Stallion looking for? Not necessarily in that situation, but just in general at this point in your career, what would be fair to

making a study? I just wanted to be fair and I wanted to be you know, good for everybody, Like nothing is gonna be perfect, but if we can both come to agreement, like you gotta you gotta give a little to get a little. You know what I'm saying. And I understand that. So I just want everything to be fair. Can you have a relationship with Jay Prince at all? No? So have you ever met him in person? Though? Okay, growing up, did you look up to rap a lot

in Jay Prince had to write in Houston? Oh? Really? Like I didn't. I was young, so I didn't really know anything about it. You see all of them though, I only knew the music, Like, I didn't know the backstory. I didn't know the background. I mean, you know, you're from I'm from Houston. You know you hear things, But it wasn't I didn't think it was gonna be anything. I would ever have to deal with rights. I wanted

to talk about the song. Oh lord, what with Jay accused you of lying this morning on this Instagram said you're lying on him and court documents? What is that about? Like, that's something that I definitely can't talk about. But I don't lie though. Who helped you negotiate your original deal? I'm just saying, I'm just yeah, I mean all of this, I really would like to answer. It got you. So hopefully you know, next time I come, I will be able to talk about it. But right now, you know,

it's just in court. Like, so I can't say a lot of stuff. All right, It's Meg the Stye, It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, It's time to shoot your shot. To shoot your shot with the Breakfast Club. You just want chance. Don't mess it up? Mess it up? Mess what's up? What's up? Guys? Who are you trying to shoot your shot with? Davante? This girl Lot she works at the pharmacy. I go too, all right, now you gotta go there to pick up your Vale trecks every

now and then. Maybe you know tricks an STD problem because I'm letting you know if you got to pick up your Vale treks. I don't think this is a good idea to shoot your shot if she knows that she's given you. Nah, she's just this dope man. I don't even have a prescription there. I just go there once a week to get like a packer or something, and then you go with that pharmacy register just to go see her. Yeah, she definitely did you have an STD and too scared to get the prescription? Bro, I

You know, I get the gum, ask her how her day is doing, what's going on? And she's going at this for that concert? Not question. Do you put the gum in your mouth before you talk to her? Oh? You know, I usually get a piece of the offer her one, because if you're talking to her before you put the gum in your mouth, that's probably why she's

not interested, because your breath is clearly funcky. Now it's like half a half half with gum, half without. Okay, okay, all right, well let's get right into it. I mean they've only had some brief conversations, though he doesn't see her when he buys some gums, So I'll be interested to see if she's noticed you. Does she say hi when you walk in? Oh?

Oh my god, good morning, Hey, good morning. You feel you feel pressure to do a great radio interview that you haven't done it in twelve years? Not really, I mean yeah, I just you know, I want everybody like me. I don't come out and try to do bad.

I saw you with the fight Charlotamagne. Yes, I was at the Triple G Danny Jacob's fight, and I gotta tell you, I got excited to see that. I realized I've never met this person. That's how I felt. I saw you a few rolls up, I'm like, that's Dave Chappelle, and then you turned around and you saluted. But I'm like, I don't think he's doing that to me. I didn't want us to look back at first. I wanted to look back out from like, oh he's talking to me. I told my wife, say you see Dave Chappelle, just

say what's up to me? So I'm saying all that to say, you know, I got really good flat show that night because you said what's upthing, I didn't know where that was gone. Marital Fla. Do you wake in bake in the morning? Day? We do? You wait till after breakfast? Yeah, I'm a waiter. I usually late at night. Oh at night? Okay, okay, you said something interesting. You said you don't ever want to just present something bad. You still feel like you got something to prove because

you're like critically acclaimed, you're respected by your peers. You feel still like you got something to proof. No, it's not it's not necessary. You feel like you has something to prove. I'm sure you guys feel the same way. It's like quality control, right, yea. You want to make sure that whatever you offer you put your best foot for. You know, that's doesn't mean you want to prove anything.

It just means you respect the people that respect you, and you want to reciprocate their respect with a good product. You still get nervous when you do shows or this is a piece of cake too. Well, one time it didn't work out and sometimes don't worry. You know what it's like and done. You can attested this. People ask me, like, do you get nervous when you're going stage? It's like asking a pilot if he gets nervous before a flight. I might hit some weather, but I feel like you

normally are laying the plane. I don't think we've ever not landed. Maybe Detroit, but other than that, By the way, I would never want I would never want to know if my pilot was nervous, by the way, you want on nervous pilots. I'm just a little confused because everybody's throwing so much respect and Dave, I've been on this show four or five times. When I come in here, they don't even look me at my face every time

I come here, y'all on social media, y'all everything. What about that time you came in I told everybody that said, no matter what Donelle says, do not laugh. It was like it was like, I was like, oh, this looked like the set up? What made you even like down there was? It was? What was it down there that saying, you know what? I could work with this guy up? The first time I heard about you. I was. I went home to DC and I went to the comedy club when I asked some old comers like what's popping

around here? And everybody was like, yo, you gotta see this new kid downe now rawlings. And then I met you and we had we had a swell time that yeah, I do all right, swell time. We're gonna leave me everywhere. I watched the like, okay, like I watched your show one line all the time, Like I watched all you guys I've seen. I just watched an interview that you did with Neil yeah faced, yeah, it's my guy. I watched you on a real estate show. Yeah. And then I and I saw you with the DJ Awards I

presented awards. Yeah, and you promise you said I'm gonna come on the show. You said, you know, I need a little time, but I'm gonna come. Yeah. That's right, that's right. You definitely kept your work. Yeah. Man, s to my guy, Neil, Why why do you think white people have gravitated towards you your comedy because it's been like that your whole career. Well, you know, I don't know, I don't look at it that way. Like the whites are really gravitating to it. I don't use those I

don't use those kinds of metrics. I think all of us, at some point we have ventured into some kind of cultural cross road with black people, with corporate people. And we all smoke weed, We all smoke weed, we all, you know, we traverse the American landscape. So I don't think there's anyone in America that I'm incapable of communicating to on some level. Now, if you think so sensitive, Now do you think you could do the Dave Chappelle's show and not have backlash? Because it seems like everything

is sensitive. You say a word and people are already crying and pick it in outside of things. Hey man, president, grads, girls, a boy. That's all you need to know, right, That's what That's what I'm saying, you know, you know, and comedians wipe out, you know everybody that sometimes you're gonna say something that you might be wrong, but that's that's the nature of the genre. You know, to not take a chance for fear of that would be would not be being true to the music. Would you ever apologize

if if you said something too far? If if if I can see if I actually can see this too far. But it's a it's a touchy line, you know what I mean? I like, I like it harder I think I think that. Yeah, no, I'm gonna say you have you have quite possib be the greatest rape joke of all time, Billy. What he says was that was that an observation you was pondering? Or I mean, you know,

the thing is, this is a thing. It's tough to talk about jokes because I don't want to open to do it all these weird like analytics and like what does he actually mean by that? That's a slippery slope. Well, you know, I don't want to antagonize anybody or intentionally offend somebody. Have you come up with an answer for as far as like what should we do with Bill Cobby? Should be still watch his work? Should we still appreciate

his art? To have an answer for that? Yeah, no, the question, it's a kind of question that makes more questions. Got you know what I mean, Like, it's a it's a tough one, man, because you know Way's accused of it is very serious. I don't I don't. I don't like take that lightly. However, you know, I don't know. It was seventies times. It's crazy. She's going on. I don't know what. I don't know what to say. America's

dad is now America's rapists. Yeah, but what According to The New York Post, Yeah, so it's a tough one. We got more with Dave Chappelle and Donnelle Rawlins when we come back. Don't move. It's the breakfast clo Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ n Vy, Angela, Yee, Charlemagne and Guy. We all the breakfast club. We have Dave

Chappelle and Donnelle Rawlins in the building. Yee. I did appreciate on those specials that you didn't shy away from any topics, because I do feel like everybody's so politically correct, you know. And I also find it ironic that everybody's like, he walked away from fifty millions, but then you came back and got sixty million doing Netflix specials. Yeah, well you know what. Yeah, thank god that there was a happy ending to thee because I could have just never

worked again, you know, but I never stopped. Even when I was like not in the public guy, I was still playing comedy clubs, and I found the altitude that I was comfortable with and you know, a good time. How many times have theyd Donnelle call you and beg you to come back? He didn't call. Were you guys always in communication because Danielle did it for a while he was in a state of depression. After Dannielle was Jesus, I had a tough time myself, like what if the

he mean? I think, you know when I was gone, I think I stayed. Daniell stay in touch with me and Neil were cool the whole time. You know, it wasn't. It wasn't as a bad blood of monkst like people would assume that I left in a hub. It wasn't like I mean, I didn't leave in a hub. I wasn't mad at the guy. A lot of people like after, you know, after he left a lot of people would ask me, you know how I feel about it or whatever,

all you're upset? And I never was upset because I was doing calmly for a while before I was introduced to Dave Chappelle. Like with anything, you can be, You could be as talented as you want, but until you get the right platform, nobody never know about it got you, so you know, just I don't know if I can't being at Dave Chapelle's eating here, but go ahead what

you speak, so I know what happened. But you know everybody, you know the one that I've been asked that question a million times that I always felt that I was talented. But again, you need the right opportunity, like even in sports, you know you could be a talented person, but until the coach put you in the game, nobody will never see what you um so you do. So he gave me a platform to do what I've been doing for years. And I think there was an even exchange after all that. Okay, So, Dave,

do you have a favorite mumble rapper? Because you're hip hop? Hey, do you appreciate anything from the generation? Uh? Yeah, I appreciate it. I'm at party too. If I go out, they playing me goos. I listened to that. Yeah, but a favorite mumble rapper, I don't know about all that. I like to build to say the lyrics too, well, I can tell who you really like based on who

you have on tour. When you well, when you do this residency that you're doing in New York City at Radio City, I can see that you hand picked the artist that you wanted to be there. Yeah, you know, it's it's funny, man. So this year will be like my thirtieth anniversary standard. I figured, like why I should mark that occasion right, Like you know, it's you know,

this business is hard. You you existed in a long time, and it's good to stop for a minute and just appreciate the fact that you I'm still able to do this and I'm very lucky to be successful. So it's it's it's a it's a celebration. Like even now, you'll see my next special the act I'm doing now. I like it because he's joying, Like I'm really enjoying what I'm doing right now. I really you know what I mean.

It's like I want skydiving once. Have you ever done? Okay, I hated it, you know, Like what did you hate about it? Because I hated going up? I hate people. I enjoyed that part, but the whole going up part I didn't like it was because it was terrifying the time time. Like Okay, yeah, in the beginning, it's a plane right then the door opens and you realize you expected to jump about and I'm strapped to a guy that I've never met before, and I didn't see the shoot pack and oh my god, I have kids and

all this stuff. You're thinking as you edge up to the door. Next you know, you're just in the sky. There's no logical reason to be there. There's no you know, my life didn't depend on any yet. I jumped out of this plane and just falling. And then one says it feels like flying, but to me, it felt like falling about one hundred and twenty miles and I was terrified. So what did you get out the situation other than

being terrified? Well, the point is when you when the shoot lands and you survive it, you go home at night, you eat then a food taste, but house is quiet and still, and you feel comfortable in saving your house. You're like, man, I'm glad to be home. Everything's good. So that's what it felt like. It felt like coming back and doing this Netflix special. All that felt like my shoot open and everything's just good. Right. Yeah. I don't got to do all that to get that feeling.

I'm black in America. All I gotta do is to drive through the neighborhood that I live in and making home without being I feel that I live in a much nice and Neige. I I mean, we're all black, you know what I mean? Like, I know what you mean. But it's not like I'm gonna try to survive and traffic stop just to get that feeling. I mean, it's like it's the black experience. But I did it. I don't know why I did it, but the point is that now this is just I'm happy to be doing it.

Would you do it again? What quit my show? No? Oh no, I don't think I would. Man, I mean, like I get it. I know what it's about, you know what I mean. I just think that you know something's It's just one of those things that I didn't even mean to do it the first time. It's a long story, Dave. I hate to do this, but I have to put you on the spot. But could you explain to the breakfast club interviewing what you did to my apple pie a year ago? Something? No, he's taught Okay.

So we're playing at the perhaps Blue Ribbon Theater and the pastry chef and Donelle hit it off the first night of engagement. She was white, no, no, no, but but she just know she was an older woman, real sweet woman. And she really liked. So I came to work and she had baked him a pie and the pipe had his name stencil and the crest. Wow. And I was excited about it because every day she would come of where she says that anything that you could do for is there anything specially want? I was like,

make me a post. She was like, that's pretty simple. I said, well, if that's so simple, make me a pie, then put my name on the top of the pot. Of the story that is correct. And I was excited about the pie. No, no, I was sure. Everybody pipe, I didn't actually put money in it. Well, you have still leading the pipe day with put he kept going. He was like, because somebody put that pie in a mic way for three seconds. So it's a bunch of people love Dave Chappelle. He's an evil friend. Man. That

was funny. Man, We got more with Dave Chappelle. When we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody's DJ n v Angela Ye, Charlemagne the guy. We all the breakfast Club. We have Dave Chappelle and Donnelle Rawlings in the building. Charlemagne. When when the last time you've been humbled, Dave humbled. Yeah, you mean like what professionally or personally both? Yo, yo, man, life is humiliating, yeah,

for you, for everybody. Yo. You think if I'm walking down the street and a lady says you gonna take a picture and she don't know how to work her camera and we all staying in there, but you do that because you gotta you know, you gotta have empathy. But life is humilly. Being a parents, humiliating, being a husband's humiliating. All of it's humiliate. Hindsight is twenty twenty.

Was it was everything worth it? Like everything you went through, like even the Chapelle Shaw experience, and even walking away from it was at all worth it? Hey man, Yeah, I was. I was happy to have that show. You know. I'm sorry it end of the way it ended. But I enjoyed making that show. It was a it was an experience that very few people get. The head you

miss it, especially with everything going on and so much material. Yeah, because I see something and I say, damn I misspell Yeah, I miss it too, you know, but I think I don't know if I could do it again though, because I missed it. But then I remember what it was like to do it and it just wasn't. It might be easier now to make just because of technology, and yeah, but the internet ruined because it won't be the same. Yeah, stuff that you want to do, somebody will do on

YouTube ten times faster than ten times worse. Right, Yeah, it's true, but you didn't play a lot of people. It was great. Yeah, I worked with a lot of great people that I was doing the showing at Lanta the other night and bumped into like similar guys from the crew. I hadn't seen those guys as I walked up to set. It was good to see him. You know, you remember people finally, like after it's all said and done.

So you know, I do have bad feelings about how it ended, but I don't have bad feelings about what it was. It was a great experience. How did Charlie Murphy's pass and affect you? Because I know you guys were pretty close. It was tough, man, it was. It was a reality check. I feel very lucky that I got to know him. I feel like he was a very large part of the reason that I got to be successful, Like literally changed my life just by saying I fought Rick James. Many times we were like, what

fought James? Jesus who I didn't know? You can stay on the radio, but no, he said he fought Rick James. Many times we tell us his story of lunch and it literally from then on to just change. It changed your lives. You immortalized him. Yeah, man, But you know I got to like meet and work with rig And and the I mean, you know Charlie, and he was an og Like Charlie's been around the block. You know, his brother is Eddie Murphy. He's seen the epicenter of

like the fame that we all wanted to acquire. He had great stories and he was also a real nurturend dude, I think he gave me great advice. Uh, you know, I got missage presents. Man, I'm really I was real sad that year that doing a great job on Power a great job job busted you in New York. Yeah, but I will say, you know, like you when other people get stuff away from yourself, it's hard to celebrate that.

But you know, when I found out that Charlie was doing that role, I realized that he was probably perfect person for him. And then the hindsight as far as with him passing away or whatever. I just think this is a nice thing for people to see him being a part of a great body of work like that he said. And he did a good job, did Charlie. Definitely, y'all think about your own mortality because I know Donellill called me one day random, He's like, y'all just want

to tell you, man, you know what I'm saying. You know, people dying and you might die, So I just wanna tell y'all love you. You're doing a good job. I'm like, you know, I will say. I don't know, Daven have different answers, like when someone passed away some specially with somebody that you care about, it makes you think about people important in your life, for the people that you respect.

And I don't know, I was probably you know, in my feelings that day, but it was at a time when you just dropped your book and I'm seeing like your transition from not just doing urban stuff, but like the media running you get oh, I'll keep it real. All the white folks that you partnered up. I was like, I was like, he's taking it to the next level. And another thing in our community is not too often to people read books. So the fact that you know, a brother put a book out and he got people

that wouldn't normally pay attention to that. Like, I know, it's hard to say. And I didn't say no homo before I said that I loved and I know that's right. And I didn't say pauls at the end, right, I thought you were sick. No, no, when you called, I thought he was sick. I thought he was like guys. And that's the one time that we really appreciate people in death, and when someone passed away, it makes you

think about so many times in our life. We get to a point where you say to yourself, I wanted to call that person just to say hi or just say what's up. And you don't act on on those films and didn't something tragically happened and then you're like, oh, man, I was just supposed to call him. So that was me and my mom. You know, sometimes on the tour bus, Danielle gets drunk and looks at pictures of his son and cry, oh, you just tell you that. I couldn't

believe that. That's cute. I called him doing it. You haven't met Danielle, baby mama. Yeah, of course, Yeah, of course, she's wonderful. Were vacation together. Yeah, I've seen that you guys were on the yacht. Well, yeah, because I thought it wasn't yacht until I saw puffy shit times that we had a boat, that we had a boat. You don't feel the need to compete with stuff like that though, not at all. Yeah, I'm yeah, I'm really, like, really really happy right now. And I you know, I appreciate it.

Like my kids are safe right now. I don't know where they everyone's happy, everyone's fat and clean and skill. Look, man, I'm just Yeah. We've seen you pop out with Chris Rock a couple of times. Another legend, another icon. Yeah, he's that's the homie man. There's only two of y'all in that space though. Yeah, Chris is, he's definitely a big brother. Though he's like he's killing it. I wasn't so exact as soon as act a few times one

he's doing he's killing it right now. He's seen. Maybe you guys would do a tour together, Well, we are. We are gonna do two nights together at Radio City. Would be the first time we've ever officially headlined to show a co headline show. Together, and I'm very excited about it because it's the first time any comic has ever done a residency of a month at Radio City

Music Hall. Dave is a real humble dude. I'm not gonna say, really a spectacle of what's about to go down, but nobody's ever done a joint where like the entire month of August, we're locking everything down. We got some of the best show I don't don't let me get people, don't let me. Don't let me. I do think y'all need other comedians on those, and be quite honest, I'd be quite honest you don't. But you know what I'm saying.

We got a team. I'm not. I'm not I'm gonna do some of the shows, but do you know that your show, y'all, well, in the event that I have the opportunity, He's totally gonna be on it. We all the Breakfast Club now coming up next. Usually we do rumors, but I mean, damn it, man, Dave Chappelle's here. We're gonna kick it with Dave Chappelle's some more soon. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning Now. Usually we do rumors right here, but I mean Donnell Rawlins and Dave

Chappelle's here. Dave Chappelle hasn't done radio in twelve years, so we're kicking it with Dave Chappelle. Charlemagne ask you today, where do you draw the line when it comes to like a cultural appropriation. What do you mean white people appropriating like black culture? Okay, this is a controversial question. I'm not sure if the premise. I'm not sure if

the premise of the question is correct. Kylie and Kendall today superimposed their images on Biggie and Tupac and they got t shirt right, Okay, And as a black person or person from that culture, you feel like they misrespectful disrespect. Yeah, yeah, that's that's a tough one. Did you go see the Tupac movie? No? Did you like it? I don't think it was as terrible as everybody was saying. But it wasn't.

I haven't heard good things and it wasn't like it starts before Tupac is born and it ends when he dies. That's a long period of time to cover, and so many things that happened in Tupac's life, and he was such a complex person and so many different incident you ever had a club when Tupac was there. No, never. It wasn't that much fun really, Yeah, I just remember being in part it just felt like a lot of

dark shoes around a guy. I liked them. I didn't know well, but I felt like culturally that those were darker time. Yeah, yeah, absolutely right, you know. And I'm not saying this should be controversial. I don't even it's just nothing to do with the question that you asked me. I just thought you got out the question like a UFC fighter. I didn't know what's good you have been watching Charlotte Man was ready for you, was like, just

ignore him. I just didn't think, Yeah, you know, do you plan to see it to just get an idea. I'm gonna watch that at home probably, you know what

I mean. Like, I don't know, man, something the question asking I think it is a very important question, but I'm not sure how to answer that, you know what I mean, Because at a certain point, I feel like no one's gonna feel that way more than African American because we create so much culture and oftentimes just sighting from us, and it's almost all that we've ever had. I'm we've never had, We've done many great things, but you know what I mean. But but it is American

culture too. Kylie and Kenna, like they don't understand what they had happened then too, they don't understand. I don't think they were doing that maliciously. I just think that they don't. They're never gonna black dude, I'm gonna see the world. They if you have some glasses that someone could put on this to see the world, how you saw the world be terrified? Yeah, you know, I heard the interview with you. I get it. I know what you gotta get it. But that's a hard question to answer.

Do your kids think you're funny? Yeah? Yeah, I mean, look, I'm gonna dance, so there's something about me that's corenty to them. But but they but they yeah, they get it. They know. Like my kids are teenagers. Then my youngest son is as old as I was when I started doing he's fourteen. He started at fourteen. Yeah, I started really young. Wow, thirty years I'll be I'll be forty four this this summer. Veteran seasoned. Yeah, and it'll be

my thirtieth anniversion. I'm like really proud of that. We means you're get on stage at the age of fourteen. The fear of death, Well you do? You do? You have been thinking about your own mortality? Well, Yo, we're black dudes in America. So right when I was in high school. My freshman year of high school, I talked about on an active studio, Oh, six hundred kids my age got murdered in Washington, DC. You can't be in

an environment like that and they're not affected. Like, Yo, you made me want to just do whatever it was I wanted to do. I feel very lucky to get to be forty four, right, which which you know. Now I'm more ambitious and I'm looking forward to paying half price at the movies. But before that I didn't. I didn't know I was going to live this long, you know. And I think the fear of not doing what I want to do in life made me do what I

want to be. Even in Kevin Harts book, he talks about doing comedy because he was just trying to survive too, Like just being funny is what actually helped him. Not. Yeah, I wonder what makes it? What makes you believe the stage can save you, though it absolutely did. Look at guy like Kevin Harts from Philly he is the number one selling artist on tour on Earth from any jump. You know, I'm very proud that somebody from my genre is at the top of the food chains, right and

somebody I remember him starting out. It's amazing to see it. And it's absolutely can save your life. What made you think that you're fast talking? And and your liking of controversial questions would take as far as that that's true? And yeah, and then yeah, and I've never met you, but you one of the few celebrities I've met a long time. Like literally, I feel like I know you and I've I've only seen you once. It means you're very effective at what you do. In my opinion, I

would say it means you're very effective. But I still feel like I can get shot because of my fast talking you up. Yeah, but god forbid, no, man, you've transcended that. I mean, look, anything terrible can happen to anybody. But there's some people that get shot, that never get a platform, they never get to write a book, that never get there. I mean, everybody knows your name. You meet famous people, they already know who you are. It's amazing,

you know, what's about that? I was so aware. Somebody came up to me, want to take a picture. They thought I was here. No, they didn't swear to God. Not happen. I swear to God. He was like, are you Charloman the god come? How are you feel mad about that? You wasn't mad with Morris Chestnuts. That's Morris chestnuts. Mean, it's a difference. You caught a Mars chester Nut. Mars chestnut chestn give me take with you. That's the big day. Then Chiel gotta go. So let's tell him about radio

get one more. I was driving Dave in twenty seventeen. I was driving you right now, right now. It's a gentleman named Nester. Let's get radio president. We look forward to seeing the show. And when does gotta come? Man? I'm uh, it's August. It's August first and fourth is first for this me in the roots. All right, you sound like Floyd Mayweather or not. I saw you. I know this This starts August first first? Now? And who do we here for tickets? Oh? You guys, you're good.

You're good money. Until we get to the door. I was like, oh, never knock, I beg your I would love to get that call. Yo. This is a breast. We all saw Hi, what what what? What? What's that about? What dare you have? Is Dave Chappelle? Come on, damn Donna? All right, don row Is, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, It's don't be a dusty because right now you are some real It's time for Donkey of the Day. So if we ever feel I need to be a dog man, give me with the heat. Did she get? Please tell

me I had become Donkey of the Day. Past club bitches, you'dy? Dunkya Today goes to the icon known is Ellen degenerous. Safe to say, Ellen is one of the most successful daytime talk show host of all time. Right, I have to put her jersey in the rafters with the Oprah, Winfreys and Donnie Hughes of the world, for sure. But Donkey Today is all about giving people the credit they deserve for being stupid. Doesn't mean they are stupid, but we all have blind spots that make us sound stupid

at times. And that's why I love donkeya Today because I get to correct people for saying something stupid. Okay, just like I would hope someone would do for me. Well, in this case of rich privileged white people say the darnedest things. Ellen on Monday taped a new episode of her Daytime Talk showing her mansion where she and her

wife have been self quarantining for weeks now. A very important note, Ellen lives in a mansion that's over eight thousand square feet, sits on eight point two four acres of land. It has five bedrooms, a companner that doubles as a gym, a two bedroom gastouse, and up a salt pebble infinity pool that overlooks the ocean, and it cost her twenty seven million dollars to buy. Dropping the clue box for Ellen DeGeneres, listen, I'm not mad at her.

She has a skill set, a talent, and she has made the most of death talent in order to be able to secure the bag and live like that. So I'm not mad at her for that. I'm not one of those people who not people for what they have accomplished. Okay. I see certain people get mad at rich folks for acting their wage. If the celebrity takes a picture from a yacht and says this is how I'm quarantining, well that's just what it is. Okay. They put themselves in

that position. That's their life. Salute to them. We all do what we can, and if you're able to afford that lifestyle, God bless you. So I'm not giving her donkey to day because she is quarantining from her mansion. No, I'm giving her donkey of the day because Ellen Degenerous insisted at her mansion feels like a prison. Don't believe me. Listen to yourself. One thing that I've learned from being in quarantine is that people this is like being in jail.

Is what it is. It's mostly because I've been wearing the same clothes for ten days and everyone in here is gay. Now I understand she's a comedian. She was joking, terrible joke though, I even understand what she was trying to go with it, because because if what you want is to go outside but you're stuck in the house, no matter what type of residence you're in, it's gonna feel like you have a lack of freedom. Doesn't matter if you're an a mansion or a one bedroom apartment.

If what you really want is to go outside, you're gonna feel deprived of that during this time. But in light of what's going on in prisons and jails all around the country during this global pandemic called COVID nineteen. Ellen degenerous sounds tone deaf as hell. I am so glad that she said what she said because it provides me an opportunity shine light on something that folks may

not know what is going on. Okay, Please, I'm sure someone will send this to Ellen later, because Ellen, your platform is way bigger than mine and you can help shed some light on this problem. Okay, So let's start with Aaron Campbell. He's a prisoner at FCI Elkton, a low security federal prison in Ohio where three people have already died from coronavirus. He posted this online from the jail. Listen, Ellen, literally,

Now they got this law. The care the car is for people who not in game member, not a sexual offender, and not on duff from If you at risk of catching it and die like three people I know already celt it and die, they can send you home on home confirming. Right. So I went to talk to these mornings to get on home confirming. They're not gonna let us on home confirming why because they got to make money off of us. So the nurse came in this

bitch today. I talked to this morning. This tell me be prepared half the unit about to dine in this bitch like. He literally told me that they put the ten up everything. That's what they're stuck in. Dead bodies. One dude, his moment was on his way out of here. You feel me? He did serious? Bro, Look at that. So y'all want to think of playing a mine? Let me see bro, Bro? You all right? Oh, by the way, Aaron has not been heard from since he posted that

Facebook live video. Twenty three residents and staff members at that prison have tested positive for coronavirus, and I told you already three have died. Now, Ellen, would you like to hear what it sounds like with a family men his home, worried, begging for their loved one to get help in a prison. This is Teresa Massey and her husband is Angelo Massey. Listen to what she had to say. Ellen, My name is Teresa Massey. My husband, Angelo Massey, is

locked up and FCI helped him. Someone called me and said my husband was real sick. No one has called me from the jail. I tried to reach the jail. No one has called on returned my calls. My husband called me yesterday and said he wasn't feeling good. Now today he did not call me. Someone's calling from inside the jail on a cell phone, telling me he's sick, that I need to call the warden, that I need to contact somebody. He finally went over to the nurse.

He hasn't returned. They came and they packed up his belongings and didn't tell no word where they was sending him. I'm just reaching out to someone who can tell me where my husband is, if he's okay, Just anything that somebody could tell me, if somebody can help me, please, like these minutes up there dying. My husband is locked up on a drug charge. Ellen, I'm sure you get the picture as to why you're statement was completely culturally clueless,

because you are simply not in this world. These things aren't at your front doorsteps, so you're not thinking about them. Okay, You've probably being watched all seven seasons of Oranges the New Black and thought to yourself, well, prisonism so bad. But Ellen, no, I want to play for you these brothers who made this video from a prison in Alabama and what they are currently experiencing California is releasing people for the coronavirus. New York has started to release people

for the coronavirus. But Alabama is the most open, crowded prison system in the nation, and they refuse to turn people into it's gonna be a mass grave site. I'm seventy one years old. I am a number of part of illnesses that make me accessible even more so, they are not giving us hand sanitizers. They're not giving us proper so, they're not giving us mass my thing to the outside. How world, it's killed. The moral of the story is this is happening all over the country, Ellen,

de generous. Okay, in California where you live, damn there thirty five hundred inmates have been released. And they aren't just releasing random people, Okay, prisoners whose crimes were violent, those registered sex offenders and domestic abuse abusers. They're not eligible to see for this, Okay, all right. See, people think when you're in jail, it's fu Okay, you do

the crime, you should do the time. True. In a lot of cases, and a lot more cases, people are in there for non violent drug offenses because they were just simply trying to make kings meet. Okay, some folks are in there innocent of the crime they committed and might be awaiting trial because they can't afford to bail out. It's all types of nuance to prison and why prisoners are locked up, and those folks don't deserve to die just because people don't know, don't show, or don't give

a damn about what's going on in America's jail. Since did I even mention Rikers Island in New York City, I saw a letter that tax don't wrote from jail, wrote from Rikers where he spoke about the conditions and Rikers and he started the letter by saying, I'm currently in my grave with my eyes wide open. He said that DA's in the head of the Board of Corrections are playing judge, jury and executioner with people's lives because this virus is spreading all through right because and nobody

seems to care. He said, the CEOs have no protective yet, and they aren't giving them anything to protect themselves. Since then, you know, Reform has stepped in and provided mask and some other ppe. But Ellen, I think you understand now why you saying your mansion feels like a prison. Didn't sit well with people. So now, Ellen, since you know the problems, what are the solutions? How can you fix this? Easy? Use your platform to sign the alarm. Okay, I'll put

you onto some of the things that are happening. But I'm a black male with a criminal record and a list that can't pronounce words correctly. You are a white, privileged, white woman, Ellen, I need you to use your privilege to come back to this prejudice that is going on. Ellen, I need you to act like your name is Karen. Okay, reach out to someone who was on the front lines

fighting for these inmates, like Van Jones. All Right, have Van Jones or CNN on your show, on your platform, and let's see if we can get these brothers and sisters some help. We should be calling for people to be released from prisons in jails at a time like this, because we don't need any more stories like Patrick Jones. You know who Patrick Jones is, Ellen, Oh? Well, he

was the first federal prisoner to die from coronavirus. He was locked up in Louisiana on a drug conviction, and if I read right, I think he had a year left on his sinis. Not to mention for other people have died in that Louisiana jail from coronavirus since he died, Simple and Plaine. There's a lot going on, Ellen that clearly you don't know about, because if you did, you would have never compared your mansion to a jail. Please

give Ellen Degenerous the sweet signs of the hamiltones. Oh no you are dogee the day, do gee, oh the day. And like I said, you know, there's a lot of different ways to help. You know, if I was hurt, I would reach out to Van Jones or CNN. Van Jones it's part of the reform alliance, you know, him and Meek Mill and jay Z. They all made sure that right because Island got ppe and got you know,

the things that they needed to properly protect themselves. And I think she needs to have somebody like that on the show to highlight everything that's going on in the prison in jail systems right now due to COVID nineteen. Because if we don't ring the alarm for our brothers and sisters behind those walls, nobody will. And Ellen, you can be an ally and help us do that. Have a blessed day, all right, Well, thank you for that. Dawnke here to day, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club is back with our best stuff, interviews, spoting, everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club again. Rest in peace to Nipsey Hustle. It's like, it's a lot of things, you know, you don't expect to say that definitely is one of them. Right now. He was shot and murdered over the weekend, and he stopped by here last February February. Yes, Victory

Lap came out of last year February. You know, Victory Lap is my favorite rap album of twenty and eighteen. I think that. I think he came here on like the twenty if if I'm not mistaken, Yeah, February we added on the twenty first. Yeah, so we're gonna get that back on. We talk about so much of that interview. So that was a great interview. Man, it's like an hour long and we covered a lot of ground in that interview, you know, but let's get into it. Now.

What up? What up? What up? What's up? My brother del bro? Now, I don't know nothing about la politics, but are you allowed to wear that much read I could do it, I won't. Man, it's my brand. I'm saying. Absolutely, I like I read look with gold. I mean people tripped like that with the colors you wear or depend like again, everybody knows who I am far as where I belong, so you know I'll be seeing like internet

uh comments some time when I'll be flamed up. But in La, you know what I mean, we grew up. If you was a real one, you can wear what you don't really apply, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, it's still heavy like that though. I mean it's like if I'm in somebody elsehood with a gang of red on and I'm not a known face and I'm in a crip hood, Yeah it'll probably I probably get addressed. But I don't think I had that problem. They'd be like,

that's n it, you know what I'm saying. Congratulations on the album, man, Yeah, Victory Lapping stores, don't grab that stream that all that I've had to It took too long, right, you had a lot to prove on that head. I did. Let's talk about it now. The album's dope first and foremost. You love the album. I hear a lot that you don't like weirdo rappers. Well, I think you talk about the line when I was like the saint this weird

rapping it's used to. Yeah, I just feel like, you know, um, I felt pressure a little bit from where the game is at, and there ain't no this to nobody specific, just like it ain't in a direction of what we grew up on in terms of like you gotta say something, you know what I mean. You gotta be a man of respect or a woman of respect, you know what I mean, even from like just the drug stuff. Like you know, I was never glorified in rap culture. We could almost like led by Scarface, a jay Z or

Tupac lyrics. If we ain't had no principles, like a man around, we could led by the lyrics and come out as a solid individual. That's what I meant. Just as far as, like, you know, just returning to that direction, I don't know, like telling people what to do, but just you know, try to represent the principles that I grew up on in rap music. That's one thing I like a bunch of music. It always has socially redeeming

value to it. On dedication, you know, Kendricks said that this man, El said, do a song with nip here better cryp. M. Kendricks said, here a man first, or do you hear what these peaks about from black businesses? The false imprisonments? And he said listen closest bigger than deduces and four. So is that a challenge for you to get people to see you for more than the stereotypical West Coast gangster rapper? I mean people people received me based on what I said, so I wouldn't I

wouldn't blame people for that. I came in and said, it's where I'm from and it's when I represent. But it was for a reason I wanted. I wanted to establish, you know, what I belong to, and I looked at it like jail. That's what I used to tell my homies because even some of my homeboys would be like, well, you can't come out talking about the hood and specifically you know what I mean. When you walk into a dorm, the first thing you establish is where are you from?

And then from there you get into the person behind this. Just in case whoever got a problem with this, wherever your enemies is, you go to the back. You hunt of your business and then you get into like, Okay, I could actually with you you you know what I mean, We get to know each other, but you get that out the way first. And so also I wanted to I wanted my message to impact gang culture, you know what I'm saying. I wanted what I had to say

to impact individuals like myself, young people. I was in these areas that I was controlled by gang banging. I didn't want appreciate the choir, but I wanted to be able to say, you know, I'm one of you, and where I'm gonna go, wherever I end up, you're gonna You're gonna know that you can end up there too, whether it's at the top of the game or in a successful situation as a business owner. I came from this and it's authentic, and I'm not on the outside

of this culture. That's why I came in like I came in. I wasn't trying to like be on no super tough guys, you know what I'm saying. I just wanted to be clear that you know, wherever I take it, I'm not I'm not different. I'm exactly the same. I've been through everything you've been through, or you're gonna go through as a somebody in that culture. What is it?

What is a better crip? What does that mean? I don't know because I ain't saying, But what I would assume Kendrick meant was that, um, somebody that is not one hundred bias or outside of communicating with a blood or somebody from the other side of the tracks. Maybe that's what he meant. That's what I took it, as you know, But we had to ask Kendrick his his take on what he meant by that. You talk about West Coach's infrastructure, it was a period when you needed adopted.

Drake co signed to get out of the West Why why do you think that changed? Drake Man he built Uh. I call it an island. If you look at music, it's like three or four islands in rap Mus, you know what I mean. And a lot of a lot of the things that you might not know, well y'all know, but that the people might not know are connected to these islands. They connected. You got to like Jimmy Iveen doctor dre Island, which you gotta let's stall the artist

Tupac came under that Drake snoop game. Um, Kendrick, well, Yeah, Kendrick is a part of the top Dog thing as well. But it connects, you know what I'm saying. And so then you got like the Leoor def Jam Island and that not the island records. I'm just saying, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, and a rough frauder's murder ain't Rockefeller. Yeah, you know, um Kanye, then all the artists that came out to ya fall under that, and then you got um whatever happened on Sony, you know what I mean.

And so it was one of them three options right for artists, and unless you you wanted to go what I call just taking the stairs and figuring out how to how to get into one of those situations as your own thing. Top Dog did it. You know what I'm saying. Top Dog created his own thing. And so that was my goal to build the island myself. You know what I mean. I saw what even like Jay they got rock Nation, I saw island right, Absolutely, that's

the own thing. Even though it came from then being an artist connected to another situation, they have turned that into its own operation. What kind of conversation did you and did he have? Because you and did he? Yeah, formed a relationship I assumed through Lauren London and Cassie and yeah yeah yeah book through me too, you know Lauren. No, I'm saying Lauren. Lauren introduced me to Puff. I mean I knew Puff, but it was it was more of a personal relationship out to you know. Uh we was

at Cassie something like that. You know who made you want to get a old? Like? Did he and put him on Young? That's crazy? Did he did? He chose Young? I'll try to get you more rapper because I was. I was referencing to Hate Me Now video and what what what his his presence on that record with nas brought to it. I'm like, look this this the record, this rapp. I want you to get on this. Put the mink one in the video. We're gonna make a movie. He was like, um, he told the whole story behind that.

He like, Robbuster forty million out of check a week before I did that movie, So I wouldn't. I mean that video wow? So like that's that's the energy you saw in that video, Like I wouldn't spend all this dough on the chain and we got tigers. He's like, I got the biggest check in my life. Yeah, so he like, we probably gonna be able to recreate that, but you know, um, when I played the rest of the songs for him, he heard young and he chose

that record. Yeah, so you know he just went in the booth and then start you know, yeah, start gassing, you know, but even still like rappers. He gave me some real production advice on that record. When I played it for him, it was different than what y'all heard. Loud enough, yeah, and he was like, listen, bro, he pulled up Natural warn Killers, Boy ice Cube and Doctor Dre like, this is what you're going for. This is what y'all trying to do on this record, maximizing make

it sound like this. And we went back in the studio and I played it for my producers and then we turned it up and added a sin flead all the way through so it sound more like West Coast violent, you know what I mean. And I felt what he said. After the fun I was a little set, like what you mean, banging, but at reapproached it. It was room to make the record better, all right. Well that was part one of our interview with Nipsey Hustle Again, Rest

in peace, Nipsey Hustle. If you're just joining us, we're reairing when Nipsey Hustle stopped. Though. When we come back, we'll get into part two about interview keeping locked us to Breakfast Club. Go Morning Money, Colin Morning, Everybody's DJ, Envy Angela, Yee, Charlemagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club. If you just joined us, We're gonna reair our interview with Nipsey Hustle. This is part two. Charlemagne, you said with Hard Knocked Life on the album, Yeah, yeah, did

you have to clear? What do you have to clear? That? With jay Z? Ok? Okay? Yeah? You know what's crazy about that record? I thought you played the keys over just the stuff where you have to clear. Let us a hard motivation record. Hustling and motivation. Yeah. So when jay Z got Annie to clear the record, I guess when he ate him. He said, y'all gotta let every other rap artists after me used it. Wow. Yeah, So that was his that was his deal with with with whoever,

the producers and riding you know what I'm saying. Yeah, so we benefited off his negotiation in nineteen ninety eight. We just had to get jay Z to clear because when he cleared it with the owners of the copyright. He made it to where any hip hop artist after him could use the rector. Jay did that, so hopefully you don't have to go through that. I'm saying yeah

for everybody. Every hip hop artist gotta clear with Jay first, where they just need skilled me, they just need the jay Z clearance to any clearance as good long as they are hip hop artist. Jays always showed you love it. Didn't you buy like a thousand copies of your Crenshaw? What album? With the he bought it? He bought a hundred copies of Crenshaw That was one hundred dollars. Ok? Yeah, yeah, And now you didn't even know him back then. Now. I mean, you know, I met j in La years

ago at a concert. I was just backstage and I you know, I ran up to I ain't run up to him just like what's upthing, I'm nipp you know what I mean? From at like bro Rolling sixties. He actually bought a low rider. The story is I ain't never I seem but he bought a low Rider from one of my homeboys, Money Mike. That's into maya video that's to me. Yeah, you know what I mean. He bought that from one of my homeboys, one of my j homies from La I was an old school hustling

that was really his hunt Yeah, that was here. He bought that being so real. Yeah yeah, yeah, that's confirmed, you know what I mean. Wow. So I just was like, yeah, I'm I'm nim rolling sixties. He's like, nah, I know. And you know, this was years before the Crenshaw thing. He like, you know, y'all doing your thing. He keep going. So that was the only count boy we ever had until the Crenshaw thing. But um, yeah, Jake been a

hunted man. So you know what I know, a lot of love and now Blue Laces too, one of my favorite records on the album You make a spook who Sat by the Door reference you know about that man? Yeah? Absolutely, but I don't. I don't think you are spookle sat by the door. I think your intention to pretty clip Well now, I would say so, but even to the to the point made earlier. That's one of the reasons I was so vocal about where I was coming from and what I represented, because I knew I knew who

I wanted to mobilize, you know what I mean? And if anybody ain't seen that book, I mean, see that movie. You read the book. It's about a gang member from Chicago who uh, you know, presented himself in a way he never kind of cases he was. He was. He had a clean cut look, and he infiltrated the CIA, and he became educated and became and basically he used their agenda, which was to have a token in the CIA for political reasons. You know, we're gonna speak blunt um.

He used it against him. And I think that in terms of hip hop, you think of the message that they embrace, I feel parallel with like, you know what I mean the power structure. I don't mean the culture of hip hop, but the power structure of music they got prescribed personas they expect from us, you know what I'm saying. So I feel like the way he used their intention against him was was one of my underlying strategies. You know, you gotta put the medicine in the candy.

And was interesting by that book. All his people used to call him my uncle Tom and the coon, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, but he was there working for them the whole time. Yeah, and he and he I don't want to up blow nothing up like he did in the movie, you know what I mean. But just in terms of being able to mobilize his homies towards to a hard cause. You know, there's a lot of little jewels that you're saying. And then that's what I like, Like I said, the medicine really isn't the candy,

because Eve, when you drop a ball, like about doctor Seby. Yeah, like just that one thing they killed doctor Seby will make somebody go research undt doctor cebb Takettle doctor. I never met him, I met his wife and I take his products for sure. Why why do they kill all holistic doctors messing up to the medicals? You short stopping the ground? Why don't you get killed for hustling in

front of a spot? You're short stopping the grind? And these they check his billions, You got that get flipped for a couple hundred thousand, So you're playing with some pharmaceutical money, you know. And what's crazy. I'm working on doing a documentary on the trial. In nineteen eighty five, doctor Seby went to trial against New York because he put the newspaper cure age. Did he did? He beat the case and he went to federal court the next day and beat that case on record, and nobody talk

about it. We're still talking to Nipsey Hustle. He's in the building right now now. What happened with reboking and were you signed the reboking the rebok do the release that you were there? Nah? I didn't. I didn't endorse me with Puma right recently. Um, I don't want to go too deep into that because man, I ain't. I ain't uh faking nah, But I don't want to go too far into details with the with the other thing

because it's something that we're gonna pursue. But um, you know, it wasn't authorize, It wasn't authorized and they put all money in on the shoe. They put rich Rolling on the shoe. I don't even that's that's some gang. You don't put rich Rolling on the shoe. You know, you gotta pay thousands of people. It's doing life in jail that you know what I mean, fall under that structure. So you gotta be careful with that, you know. I don't. I'm not even taking a check for nothing to say

rich Rolling. I would have told him out of total designers, no, bro, stay clear of that. You can't copy right. It's like putting crip on a shoe or something. Who are you gonna pay? And that caused the problems for you. It's like, oh, you got paid off. And even outside of that, because if if I was right, I would I would stand on being right. That's not right. I'm not I'm not the beneficiary of that. You can't just pay me and think that. And by the way, they didn't pay me.

But you can't just pay me and think that we paid nip Man he speaked for the nah Ross got they got a hundred years. You know what I'm saying, what I looked like taking a check. I can't do that, grinding all my life. You tell a story where somebody got stomped out and you say, fifty and Midweather bounced from y'all in Vegas? What was that? That was a

long time ago. Man at a club, Me and YG was performing that in Vegas called strip Hot, and uh, you know somebody Melee broke out and U you know it ain't going nice favor that didn't that started it? And uh just so happened. Fifty and Mayweather was in the club. You know they had all the cars and that was really just coming to show love and uh, you know, it made the news. It was a big old thing. But tried to robbers, you know what I mean. Like somebody was waiting outside in my section. It was

all girls coming into section and take pictures. And you know, you be in the section, your chain hang, you stand on the couch, and you know, somebody was like, where are you from? One of the things you're a fan. I'm like, huh, you got my concert? You don't know what I'm from? From La Bro. He's like, no, where are you from? And I frowned. I guess my homeboys seeing me frowning, dopfending and then it just a big old melee broke out, you know what I'm saying. But yeah,

that's what that was about. It's on YouTube. The news footage is on YouTube. But fifty and maywe a bound for y'all, like they need they needed to get out the club. Well, you that was probably taking out of context. They left the same time, twenty thirty security and fifty was it with fifty thirty people? So yeah, yeah, yeah, that was good money on I wasn't saying like they

needed our help. It's just like you know a little fact they was in the building and you know that got footage and flooried on the end of arguing with the police in the front of the club. You know, I just I'll be trying to revolve around really that took place, you know what I mean? Just to go back to the doctor semi thing real quick? What makes you want to do a documentary? Okay, get it right, man, it makes you want to do a documentary about doctor Cebe.

I think the story is important. I think it's a powerful narrative. It is, you know what I mean. And I think if imagine this anybody in this room, if I could say somebody cured a's, Ya'll be like, yeah, right, And then I can show you an example of him going a trial, improving in the court to a jury that he cured a's. I'll be interested in that absolutely,

and y'all will look into the way he did it. Right, So I feel like, more so than like champion his products or explaining his methodology, put some light on that case. Imagine being able to cure cancer, or being able to cure any type of herpies and all kinds, and that's what he do. Bout what he did yeah, yeah, yeah. He used to send all types of vitamins up to the state. Yeah herbes No, I said vitamin station. Hear me? I said crazy? All right? That was part two of

our interview with Nipsey Hustle. With re airing our interview he stopped through last year, and let's get on a Nipsey Hustle mini mix. Let's play a couple of this joint. So I said, don't move, it's to breakfast Club, good morning. That wasn't Nipsey Hustle mini mix. If he just joined us again, Rest in peace to Nipsey Hustle. He was killed over the weekend, and we're replaying an interview that we did with him a year ago. All right, so let's get back into that now. Nipsey, you were talking

about Cardi and how wearing different colors and I wasn't. No, that's not what I said. And you know what I mean, he's a woman. Yeah, I like Cardi b Cardi B DI diverse for me. I like, yeah, that's that's that's a fact. Like anybody don't like Cardi that a hater. I used to watch her ig clips and be laughing like this girl crazy. But our personality is golden. You know what I mean. But wrong is wrong? Right is right? Bro,

that's what I grew up on. That loved me brog gonna tell me about you it's wrong, right, all right, don't tell me that in public. Wait till we get back to the hood. I might set off a melee and we're gonna fight with me. But when we get back to the hood, bro, that was but don't do that. You're gonna have us. You're gonna get us in the wreck. Wrong, it's wrong, right, it's right. That terminology she used is like real. Look, let me just for the record, that's

how blood's talk. Blood says crab, bloods say flute, crips say slod, crips say dead like the files. With all my homeboys, I'd be like, bro, give me a dead bull. That's how we talk. But I'll be intentionally respectful on the record because we're talking about a public environment, which is the music industry. You feel what I'm saying. We saw what happened with death Row, so we're gonna set trip in public. You're gonna get caught on camera squabbling.

You're gonna violate while you worth three hundred million sugar night. You're gonna go to the pen. Pockey gonna die right. A wrong that happened. That was game banging, that was set trip publicly, so we would be bad leaders to read create that. What about somebody like Takashi sixth nine. I don't want to talk about other people for real, you know what I'm saying. I feel I feel my own way about it, but God bless everybody. Man, get your money. You feel me what I said about Cardi

big ask me and so I spoke on it. But I don't want to hate on Cardi. B get your money. Cardi. I respect what you're doing. You know what I'm saying. She done a verse for me. I see to me goes, I shake their hand. You know what I'm saying. I respect her. Come up, she came from the gutter about saying disrespectful things on I G I'm gonna always be like that. Ain't to move, that's not That's not what you're supposed to do. Now. Do I tell you what to do? Nah? You get it how you live. If

you like it, I love it. I just know me and mine we're gonna move this way because I'm always stand on what I do so that if I walk into a room full of bloods and I ain't gonna be like, oh, they go to slops. I'm not gonna talk like that, because that's that's called being a sales soldier on some jails. You know what I'm saying, Get that's in the cell, popping it because you can't get touched. You're hiding behind the cell. You know what I'm saying, pop the gates. Talk like that. If you ain't gonna

talk like that, then keep it one way. I've been in a tank with a hundred bloods before. I'm from six old crib. I ain't even to call slaves to kill me. But I ain't even that's where I'm from, homie. You feel what I'm saying, And so same the other way around. I've been in a dorm with a hundred cribs in two or three bloods and it ain't using that terminology. They not. That's just against the laws of nature. This is just self preservation gonna prevent you from talking

like that. That's what I was speaking on. But for the record, and just for the New York bangers, I respect real everywhere in every city and state. You can't take that from nobody. Gang culture came from out of LA. I don't mean it ain't really in New York that pushing on as bloods and crips. But we gotta be honest, We gotta speak honestly. We can't be political about the dead and doing life for you fee what I'm saying. So that's that's that's my stance on it. But like

I said, everybody get money. Man. I respect CARDI, you know what I mean. She linked up with Whacko. One of my respect he had Paro and you know, I ain't ad out of deal thing. I just my personal opinion. It's in your interest not to be public dising gangs, you know what I'm saying, unless you want to put your security at risk, because it ain't gonna be you shooting or getting shot at. You're gonna be pushed into the car. You know, we were talking about checking in

and how do you feel about checking in? Because I mean, it's it's a big thing, especially in LA, you know what I mean, because it's so open and you mean, you could drive in a block in LA one block, it'd be a sunny, clean block, mixed block. You're in the middle of the hood. Yeah, checking in is it suggests friendly extortion when you say checking in. Our relationship is different because we all need relationships. You know what

I'm saying. I'm sure when you travel you from New York, but you got relationships all over the country, Charlotte, man, you got relationships all over it and I'm sure you do too, and a relationship I don't. I don't believe in fake relationships. So it just established genuine relationships. Everywhere you go, you'll be in a better position. And you do that off being respectful and being you know you're reciprocated.

Some mighty come to your city. Bro, you need something, whether it's a car, some weed, you know what I mean. You want to go somewhere to eat what you need? You out of town. I got you, not just some protection you feel me? So I wouldn't say to check in. I don't know know about that, but just I got relationships in New York. That it's respect. When I pull up, you know what I mean, to make sure I got whatever I need. Same in La I can get you from the airport. Bro. You could take my car. You

could come to my store. You could you meet my homeboys. You could get numbers if you any problems or whatever, just call in or you want to know where to go eat at. That ain't because you had to. That's because especially Yeah, we can strength numbers and we only from one place. You know.
