They call us every day complaining and stuff, and this is a really stressful being a teacher, especially during the time of year. So

like this. Thank you so much, Charlomagne for spreading at that positivity in regards to mental health, making it something to discuss because for a very long time people did not discuss mental health, especially within our comunity, and just just talking about it has made me more aware of the things that I need to focus on when it comes to my mental health as well. So last she has a first year teacher, I was very unaware and

very um just stressed out. And this year, being more aware of this mental health crisis and how it's how I'm affected has helped me become a better teacher, just even for my students and just about a person for myself.

So they promoted you, but they didn't give you more money. They didn't give me more money. I got more, I got no money and more problems. Did you guys discuss what the salary would be? Yep, they discussed it, but I guess they kept it for themselves. Yeah, that's not

a promotion, sir. Yeah, there was no ladder of money. There's no promotion. But did have you emailed them and follow it up and been like, hey, can you let me know? And I can't expect to get this extra money? Yep? I followed up with him, but they treat me like a little oh back a mile round time to get a lawyer. Yeah that's what that's what my job telling me to do. I'm about to tell him to take a job and shove it up the lawyer. Why would you take the position without the promotion and play first?

Because I was so excited about it. That's a problem with That's the problem with us sometimes just too happy to have some Did they say have nothing at all? Did they say they were gonna give you extra money or they just said they were giving you a promotion. They told me they were giving me extra money, extra seven thousand dollars, but I never got the money at all. The thing that's being raised, it's my blood Prussia. Lord, have mercy. I want to tell you. Yeah, we'll go

get a lawyer. Bro, good luck, get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five, one oh five one. If you need to vent, you can hit this up at any time. It's the Breakfast Club, Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the God. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special. Yes, the building she's back. Yes, she was just telling us how to disarm people with jolly ranchers. That's right, La. You know the last time I was here, I remember somebody pulling

out their penis. What yeah, I wasn't here. I'm sorry you weren't here. There was a white guy here and he pulled his penis out. It was great, tea, it was that was pre me Two times up Movement. I'm sure he won't be doing well. I'm here to press charges. Well. Elvis Durrand Studio was right, that's where he works. I actually have video of him out. Is it true that you have a crush on Robert Mueller. Yes, I like him,

I like anybody. I come from a father who doesn't didn't pay attention to any rules or ethics or standards or morals. So I look at someone like Robert Muller and I'm turned on by that, not to marry, but just to have fun with for a couple of hours. But in your book, you did talk about messing with guys who were a lot younger than you, and you actually ended up feeling bad when they got fired from their jobs. And yeah, I've had a lot like I like older men, just typically speaking, because I have my

daddy issues. I like guys that are older. But once i'm you know, now I'm in my forties, so guys are getting old, and so I have to lower the margin. And when I try and hook up with young guys, it's a disaster because they're they're not mature. They don't have any money, and that's cute for a little bit, but not for longer. Than a month. And so I've gotten into some situations where I've had people fired for having sex with me at a resort that they work at.

I've had a lot of bad luck in that department. So I'm just going to stay away from anybody under thirty because they get confused or a beauty of relationships is what that person doesn't have. You may have so you have the maturity in the money, and they got the young firm penis. Yes, but at twenty eight years old, I really don't want to deal with somebody like unless they're mature and an adult just for sex. At this point, like,

I've had enough sex in my life. So now I just have to go into the area of a real relationship with a real person and be honest about the fact that I want to be in a relationship, because I think for so long, with me especially, I was pretending I didn't want to be in a relationship to be tough and be independent and fierce, And after enough therapy, I realized, yes, it's okay to say you want to be in a relationship. That doesn't mean you're needy. Yeah.

So the kid at the result that got fired, did you send them a little money, like, here's a severance package. Well, that's also a problem I have is I give away a lot of money to people once they do get fired because I feel badly and I uh and I need to stop doing that. They know the risk, yes, they do know the risk, but I have I feel. Oh, they got lost their job. They shouldn't have been converting around with me, and I want to ameliorate the situation.

So I'll give somebody. You know, I talk about it in my book. I'm not proud of it, but I have done it a couple of times. Given somebody like twenty grands to just knock contact me again, wow, or thirty go away. You lost your job, here's money for the next five years of what you would have made or whatever a year. Not there, Well, they're all guys visiting, but usually takes place somewhere in the ball you know what ski town in a ski toowl sometime in the

negotiates their own settlements. No, yeah, exactly, I have to go. It's like an NDA, but with no someone signing. I don't paper and the Behamas they're not an open ended NDA, so it's the worst kind. They're not even allowed to gamble in the casinos in the Bahamas, and then they are not allowed to go to your rooms your room either. No, no, well they are allowed to come to my room, but for a very short amount of time and then it's over. So that's the problem. You like black guys, I do.

I like white guys too, though I'm not just one thing. I don't like one person. No, I'm not into that Asian guy that's still on my bucket list. Okay, why you've got Chinese in your blood? Yes, I And are you attracted to Asian man? My mom told me every dated Chinese guy because of my dad. I guess, good advice. But you also have a documentary about white privilege that

you're working, So I did this book. I kind of had a mental breakdown when Trump was elected, and I had a lot of rage that I needed to harness and make it into something positive because I was in a state of reaction and I wanted to be in a state of action instead of bitching and moaning about him. I wanted to be able to do something about it. And I was just like a spoiled brat like so many people. I didn't think this could happen in our country, and I was naive and I was an elitist. I

am an elitist. I've tried very hard to become one. And so I had to really have a wake up call and like dig deep and go to a psychiatrist to bitch about Donald Trump. And I was perfectly happy doing that and paying somebody to listen to me talk about him. I would have paid double. And after that, I was like, Okay, what kind of work do I really want to do? Do I want to you know? Do I want to be on a talk show? Do

I want to do documentaries? Do I want to? And my experience in therapy just made me realize this is important stuff. If I'm going to overshare and make a career out of oversharing, I may as well overshare the important stuff. So what he broke down for me was what Donald Trumps represents to me and to so many people, which is instability and destabilization. A right. We got more with Chelsea Haler when we come back, Don't Move is to breakfast Club. Good morning, good break first club pulling

everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Chalomagne the guy. We are the breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Chelsea Handler Chalomagne. Now you mit having a late night show every night? No, yeah, no, I don't like all of the I don't like the responsibility that comes with it. Too many people. It was fun for a while for sure. Too many people on staff. Too many times you have to you have to spend your day watching yourself, and

that's not how I want to spend my day. I feel like it would be different for you, not because of all the politics and stuff that you talk about, Like you talk about social issues, like you'd have more to talk about. Yeah. No, I just don't like being tied to a like I don't like to be I think I outgrew being stuck in a studio. I don't want to be in the same place every single day. I like to be like on a trip and figuring, you know, and like and filming it. Like when I

did Ayahuasca in Peru. I got to film that for Netflix, right, they let me go all over the world and film stuff. I'd much prefer to do that kind of stuff where you're talking to real people then and then sitting in a studio. It's just not like now you just mentioned Peruda. When you did that documentary, you will own a drug ayahuasca. Now why did you try that? You don't know what Ayawaska thought. You were talking about a place I've never been to. Maybe it's a white person's drug. Maybe it's

a white person. There's a plant. It's intense, it makes you vomit and you defecate. First of all, why would you want to do that? Because there are things I'll do on television that I will never do in my room. Okay, go ahead. So I will do that to educate and experience anything experiential where I'm going to be caught off guard. I like. So I did not defecate. My shaman, however, did in his pants the entire ceremony. So the only thing I smelled was feculence the entire time I was tripping.

But your trip is crazy. You have like a fast forward of like it's like an iPod shuffle of childhood memories and you're not in your body, you're watching you like So for me, it was my sister and me on the beach, running down the beach, playing with our dogs, being on the kayaks, flipping each other over, laughing hysterically, and I saw it all play out before me, like I wasn't in my body really, and so everyone has that experience where you see yourself outside of yourself. So

it was pretty it was pretty awesome. I mean it changed my relationship with my sister for sure. It was just about me being told that my sister is, you know, not like me. Don't judge her. Be kinder to her, to be sweeter to her. So yeah, so it's a plant. You smoke it or you do a shower. They brew it, sorry, they brew it into a tea and you'd take a shot of it and then you hallucinate for like five hours. Yeah no, probably not, but probably actually you probably get

it all facebooks. You can. Just there are people who do it all over like upstate New York. I'm sure people are doing ayahuasca treats. You need a shaman and like someone who leads the ceremony and somebody who knows what they're doing. But yeah, it's popular. But people get sober off of ayahuasca. They go in and if they have addiction issues or depression issues, it's all basically like now, microdocing is the thing that everyone's doing. So, um, you know,

microdocing psilocybin from mushrooms, which helps people daily. I took some mushrooms the other day when I was skiing, like microdose. You know, you take like a little mushroom head and it just makes everything sharper, everything up, like you're just alert. And it's from the ground. So everyone who wants to argue about like natural homeopathic things that are from the ground, that just also happened to make you hallucinate, um joyce rooms. Yeah,

who does healing? Does that help with your healing? I can, it wasn't part of mine. I mean to be in a good mood when you take them, because if not, it's a bad experience. You have to set your tone always when you take drugs. I think you have to go, okay, this is going to be a fun time. The drugs that I had some for you. I always want I have got some nice organic something. Okay, Well, next time you'll know, you'll know. We should do a whole interview

on shrooms and just I would love that. Everybody needs to be on shrooms. That is the best. Let's do it. Yeah, you will laugh your ass off. I definitely next time when I take shrooms. That's my cheeks. My cheeks and my apps are always every day after I take shrims, it's the best. You just laugh your ass off and everything that everyone says is hysterical. So it is fun

for radio. But we should do You should start the show sober and take them at the beginning so that you can get through half of it and then just decomposedly. What got Shrewan's on the going to therapy would be well, I wouldn't shrewm shrem but you can take like microdose and go to therapy. People like that, and they do ketamine therapy too. You know ketamine that horse tranquilizer. My friend's do. I'll pass on that work. Yeah, life will

be the death. Chelate you for joining us. It's Chelsea Handlet. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning, Thank you guys.

Bye, Man Slanded The Breakfast Club eight five five one o five one keeping lock this to Breakfast Club.

Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building, Ryan Leslie. Welcome sir back again. I haven't seen you in a while. Man, in a minute, I'm actually looking forward to talking to you today because I follow a great Instagram page. It's a guy named Artemis Gordon. I think he's a guy. I don't know really what what are he goes? But he had a couple of posts about you that were very interesting he did,

but they were in a good way. He was talking about he was talking about how talented you are, you know, um, But he was talking about some of the reasons maybe why your career might have been stifled. Oh, yes, all right, we could talk about that. But what was the reason he said his career might have been stifled? Oh do you feel like you've been blackballed or blacklisted? Nah? Okay, I'm happy where I am right now, streaming, happy where

I am right now. And uh, I think that I've made very strategic and specific choices to end up exactly where I am right now. Because let's let's start. What happened with the music career? You You had a bunch of singles, you were out and about you will promote. Didn't you know? You were in the clubs, you were pushing your records, and then it just totally just stopped. Yeah, and did you go a new route? Did you decide you didn't want to go that far into music? What happened?

So in twenty thirteen, I decided to take all my music off streaming service. We haven't actually talked about a lot of this since I've been here last, so, I mean, listen, so much actually happened. I mean, I was, I was on to cover the New York Post. I lost a lawsuit, my laptop of me, everybody anybody who ever talks to me, Oh what happened to your laptop? Etc? Right, So, I mean there was a lot that happened around that time. And for me, I've always been a technologist, kind of

a technologist and or futurist. And so I noticed in twenty thirteen that I had amassed a following of like a million plus on social media, and I felt as though, look, you know, social media is really just an advertising platform. It's a way for people to actually monetize me, monetize my audience. And I felt like, living in a land of technology now and innovation and entrepreneurship, I should actually have a direct contact with all my fans consumer correct, Right,

So I gave my number out. So I give my number out twenty thirteen, the first crazy person to do that. I'm giving my number, But you gave you a real number out. Yeah, I gave my real number out, and actually, yeah, the real og Right, So I thought, look in twenty thirteen.

Was beautiful about twenty thirteen versus when Mike Jones gave his number out is that I could actually put real technology behind it and have a smart way to actually manage all the inbound requests so like right now, anybody can leave their number at text Ryan dot com, my direct phone number will text them back. So I decided, like, look, I wanted to see what I could do if I could have people text me if they wanted my album.

So then that way, anybody that wasn't interested, they could you know, listen to whatever else that was on streaming services. But anybody wanted to text me and wanted my album, they could text me to get it. And so that's how I basically built a technology company around direct to consumer selling, etc. And if you really if you look at at Nipsey Hustle's mailbox money, he also employed the same kind of strategies and tactics. So he decided he was going to sell his second mixtape four thousand of

those right, and he did it on my platform. So really the beauty was that everyone thought that I just disappeared, but in reality I was able to actually just connect with the people who really cared about my music and they paid me directly. I didn't have to wait for streaming services, et cetera. Everything was just direct and so I can now tour based on just who I know, every single person that actually bought my record Wow. But some people thought it was a concerted effort to get

Ryan Leslie out of the music industry. Like one of the rumors was Kanye thought you would threatened, he encouraged you to wrap and not saying so this is this is from Artemis. Yes, yeah, okay, the real site. Yes, it's a great it's a great page to file. But is that any truth to that that he encouraged you to did? He did? He did didn't courage me to

wrap on. And I mean listen, I anyone who's ever stopped me and said, hey, look I love this collaboration you did with with Kanye was Christian Geordentum Flow and so yeah, he was like, Yo, you should just go ahead and wrap. I was like, oh, this is this is what I feel like doing, you know, So I made it. I made a couple of actually three four albums. And they say that they think that alienated your core

fan base. M I mean, it's it's it's possible. I mean, we got a tenure anniversary show that's happening in New York City and the response to that has been great because I said specifically that was celebrating the first two albums, first two albums with R and B album second, second

of which was Grammy nominated. And I think once again, I made a concerted decision that, Okay, this is how far I believed I could actually make an impact in music, and then this is how far I believe I can make an impact from being a technologist being an entrepreneur. Numbers wise, just give us an example of what you were making when your albums were the regular on streaming services and being distributed that way, versus numbers that you can make when you are doing it your way. Yeah.

So when you look at the numbers, though, I only sold one hundred and eighty thousand records my first or the first album, first album only one hundred eighty thousand, that's not even scratching gold. Right, So one hundred and eighty thousand records the first one, the second album, critically acclaimed, Grammy nominated, sixty thousand records. Gold is five hundred thousand platinums a million, right, I was at sixty thousand records my second album. Yeah, I have a core fan base.

People loved it, the settle. You also had a record that was on radio top ten record. Yeah, And I wondered, did you really had a machine behind you for top twenty record in that was huge in New York addiction those two records. Yes, but really, once again, everybody knew your name, everybody knew who you were, and I think everyone knew who I was based on the fact that

I had a record with Cassie. Cassie was really the big record that was top ten and eight countries, you know what I mean, massive, massive record for me, and so people knew that I wrote and produced that entire album.

So in the music industry, when you have a producer that writes to produced one hundred percent album and one of those records goes all the way, then people are definitely gonna know your name because they want to collaborate anybody to etc. And I think that really, I think Cassie was really the precursor and the foreshadowing that the Internet was going to change the way that music was discovered and distributed Cassi. Cassie was a MySpace artist, so

we put her music on MySpace. We you know, myself and my partner Rashid Richmond came up with a Google hack so everyone who searched MySpace the keyword would end up on her MySpace music profile, and she went from zero to six hundred fifty thousand friends in three months. What we realized though, is that MySpace just disappeared and we didn't have phone numbers on all those people. So if six hundred and fifty thousand friends, she also was the first artist in history to have a one to

one correlation between social following. Is sales six hundred and fifty thousand albums sold in six hundred fifty thousand. Wow, that never had Yeah, that definitely don't happen now these people having sixteen millions, that would be that would be

great if they had on one to one. So um, I think getting back to the numbers, if you think about royalties on records, right, and I had a pretty standard record contract, which like a twenty percent, which actually is pretty Uh, that's actually a nice record twenty percent, right, twenty percent if you even if it was ten dollars a record was one hundred and eighty thousand records, that's one point eight million, twenty percent of that you could

do the mask it's like three three hundred thousand, right, and then yeah, and basically you take some taxes out of that, like and they had already given me an advance you made. I made no money on those records, right, And it was great because obviously I have publishing. I wrote and produced everything, so our moneys that. Yeah. But in terms of record royalties, there's a couple hundred thousand, right, So when I actually sold my record directly, no man,

I sold my tickets directly, no middleman. Fifteen thousand records times ten dollars. That's one hundred and fifty thousand, and went straight into my pocket. And then the beauty of actually knowing every single person who bought my record means that when I went on tour, I can send a text to them, I mean your city, right, I mean your city. Nobody goes to concerts alone. And also concert tickets cost four times as much as the album. So

my concert ticket for my show is forty dollars. So forty dollars times forty thousand tickets that we sold in Europe, that's one point six million dollars. I mean, the math is totally crazy. And I don't need to go platinum. I don't need five hundred thousand people. I don't I need forty thousand people. All right, we got more with Ryan Leslie when we come back as the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ md Angela yee, Charlomagne the guy. We all the Breakfast Club. We have Royan

Leslie in the building. Yee. What about bundling? Did you do merchandise? Like I mean, did you do like album bundling and merchandising and all of that along with it? Yeah? Yeah, And the beauty is once you actually have someone text, you know, said hey, I'm interested in merch then you automatically can target them to give them anytime you have a merch drop, and your conversion is gonna be higher. But really, you know up to that Louis c Ki and Kevin Hart, Oh yes, yeah, first was trying to

was getting back hot. You get everybody's email in the audience. Yeah, but he just built his base, built his base. Yeah. So the problem with all those people because I seem like everybody followed you, like, you know, I've seen UH rappers giving out their numbers. I've seen did he giving out their numbers? Was it your platform? Or they would create their own platform and kind of followed Jill way of doing it. Yeah. So we got a huge number of artists and honestly, like I said, I was just

talking to Craig calling from Atlantic. Uh, they made an investment in my platform, and so you know, Meg the Stallion, Miley Cyrus join the Lucas. A lot of folks decided like, hey, what Ryan is doing is the right way to go, and it can't be just email. Email conversion rates are low, it got to be text. So me personally, I love to see that kind of validation. And so that's why it's surprised for somebody to be always Bryan getting blackballed,

as I think people are. Actually it's kind of the innovator's dilemma when you're first, people gonna look at it sideways right once they see that it's working and they say wow. And actually this happened with Puff even in the MySpace time, like when we did what we did with MySpace and Cassie. I remember having that me with him and him saying like, look, what do I need to do to actually be on this social media wave right?

And so we helped him with his MySpace profile. He became the fastest growing MySpace profile and history of MySpace. So I think that for me to have one hundred thousand phone numbers, I got one hundred thousand people on text right now, there will be an artist that comes

after me, and my numbers are available. So anybody that's interested in following this pathway and going the same direction, I'm looking for somebody that's going to get to a million or two million or five million numbers, right, because why should Instagram and Facebook and Snapchat have all the fun right patent so it be your thing so nobody else can do that, or you didn't even think about it all now. I mean it's it's almost like can

sprint patent cell phone service? Right? You need the competitors to make sure everybody's honest, and you need the competitors to actually make sure that your technology and your platform is the best that it can beat. And the platform is called Superphone. What I've done with Superphone is just made it completely flexible. Whatever you can dream you could build. So if you decide that you want to, you know, run Superphone for your floral business, I'm like, like I said,

it's for business in general. Look, what we're doing is we're really just giving people the ability to be in everyone's most important real estate, which is the text feed on your phone. And to this point, there hasn't been inbox management for text. That's why we don't give our cell phone number. It's like, yo, I can't have people texting me. It's like I can't manage it. Now I can where it's like one of those things where the

people get upset that you're texting them so much. Like I give you my number and I might want this one album. Don't text me no more, Ryan, But now you got my information and you can text me as many terms as you would, or you can opt out. I'm sure. Yeah. We make it really easy to opt out. I mean to standard you text backstop or unsubscribe, you never talk to me again. The question, though, is do you actually want to not have a direct line in

communication to me? Because I'm helping whoever I can, right, and so I say this all the time. Look, send me a text. What is it that you need to actually make it? Do you need context? Do you need advice? Do you need strategy? Do you need investment? Send me a text. The crazy thing is most of us have hundreds of people in our phone that we don't text. We're scared to ask for help. And what I found is that giving people a platform so that they can

be helped. So and that's why the venture capital community they understand this concept of just like yo, somebody comes to you with a great idea, help that person. Okay, because you don't have the idea. You got the money, but help that person because that's going to turn into uber Like, I don't like to turn people away at least want to explore it and see what it is, because you never know who's gonna be that next person.

What if they started asking you for like refrigerators and they rent paid and stuff like I've had that before. He let meet the fridge. They they say fridge, but they say, hey, look can you you know, can you pay off my student loans? Yeah? For sure? Have you done it? For sure? Now, in certain cases, I have made donations or I've covered you know, whatever it is. I made investments, I made introductions. But just like you said,

it all comes down to the ask. And so if paying someone's student loans is aligned with what I am looking to achieve or game, maybe I want that person to come work for me at super phone. And they they're like, hey, look I can't you know, I can't move to New York unless my my student loans are paid but I'm one of the greatest you know, computer developers you've ever met. Yeah, pay off the student loans. Everybody hitting you today. Also, there's a lot of people

who don't have followed through. That's let's let's go back to Artemis Gordon Page. Let's go back. Artemis said, the love triangle between you, Diddy and Cassie ruin your momentum. Do you think that did it ruined my momentum? Well, I mean in terms of what in music music industry now, I think I think it. I think it actually was great for my momentum. I mean some of the best

songs that I ever wrote had to do with that breakup. Really, the story behind Diamond Girl was we were working on Cassie's second album and because of whatever was going on personally in her life, she didn't show up at the studio that day. I had that beat ready to go. She did showed up at the studio, I recorded Diamond Girl. So I think that from a music standpoint, the greatest music is always born out of whatever you're going through.

It be said that did he possibly could have ruined Fassi's career, because if you were the guy behind that sound, if you were the guy behind her success, him getting in the middle of that and being with her, you know, kind of distance y'all. Once again, I say, look, your

life is the aggregate of the choices you make. It had to change you in post relationship though, I really like, I think my relationship with Puff really had to do with music, and so as I've been more in technology, there's a lot of people's relationship the dynamic has changed because they're like, Yo, Ryan, you know, bring that beat packet on. I don't have a beat pack for you, you know what I'm saying. But but I think my relationship with Puff or Kanye or anybody else changed because

they were interested in their music creation relationship. And for me, I have a technology platform that I'm running right whatever with. With that case, um, I don't she sued you for a million dollars? A couple of million dollars? Was that ever? Did you ever pay that lady back? Or did what happened with that? It was a guy, Actually it was a guy. Yeah, yeah, So it was a guy and we came to a settlement on it because it was just dragging out. I had a just on principle, like

a shell of a laptop. There's no way that anyone could rationally believe that that's worth a million dollars. So, just off principle, I was fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, That's why it went all the way to the courts. That's why he had to sue it. Say why did I even say that? Nah? Nah, listen, I stand by every thing that I said now, and and to be real, let's just say that the laptop came back with Watch

the Throne records on it. It came back with you know, four more Ryan Leslie, R and B albums on it right on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. I was there for all those sessions. I actually came off tour to go do that actual to do to do those studio sessions, and um, you know I didn't have multi tracks. Who's gonna put out a record with no multi tracks?

Those multi tracks were on the laptop. So I said, look, if I made six million dollars off of just the actual Cassie record, one record, right, and that was Cassie, She's an unknown artist. And I got four more Ryan Leslie, R and B albums, and I got Kanye and jay Z records for Watch the Throne. It's definitely worth a

million dollars. I'm gonna put that milli up. And even if we have to create some sort of agreement where they get paid off of the publishing in the future, which is actually how we ended up doing the settlement. I said, look, here, just take one of some portion of my old out log and just chill over there and stop coming after me for all types of other money. Take this is all. You're fine with that because they realize, hey, look the catalog is actually still generating money. I'm fine

with that as a revenue stream. If he doesn't want to give me a lump song because I didn't want to give him the lumps of those records, make to watch the thrown album no oh, because of the laptop gets through. Yeah, all right, we got more with Ryan Leslie. When we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela, yee, Charlomagne the guy. We all the Breakfast Club. We have Royan Leslie in the building. Yee.

Now let's talk about this anniversary show, yea. And what's going to be happening. The ten year anniversary show is happening on the eighteen, Yeah, December eighteen, so give us some type of insight, some spoilers. What's going to happen? Are there's some surprises? Nah, it really, it's just really, this is just gonna be an intimate night. I did the entire show once again over text. You couldn't get it.

You can't get through those doors unless you sent me a text and said, hey, Ryan, I love you your new albums. These are the songs I want to hear. This is how many tickets I want to reserve. So I know everybody who was even interested in coming. I know how many people who are interested in coming that actually bought tickets. Every single ticket holder, I have their direct cell phone number. They could text me, they could tell me and like the show, or they did like

the show. If they need special accommodations, I remember, yeah, we have all that happening, right. So that's really what it's about. It's just about like, look, music, I feel like um in many ways, if you're gonna do a show to be a spectacle, then you do a show to be a spectacle, which means like hey, let's do the make go, let's do the costumes, let's do the dance, and let's do the choreography. Let's do the pyro, let's do the screens, Let's do the set changes, et cetera.

And at the same time, you know, when I look at my favorite favorite favorite performances of all time, like a Jimi Hendrix or Bob Marley, there were no set changes, the costume changes. It really was just about the music. And that's what it's gonna be on the eighteens. It's just me, the supporters that have been with me for more than ten years, and and just the music. How are you doing the albums and the songs in order from the first two albums are now It's pretty free

for them, It's pretty free form. I'm gonna just come out there. We started on the keys and then we're gonna go wherever, wherever the night takes us. You know, it'll be two and a half hours. People can leave if they want, but yeah, we're gonna have a good time. Any special appearances, Cassie gonna pop out. I mean, I think Cassie right now has to be really focused on being a brand new mother, you know. So I mean, you know, I shout out a text, you know what

I mean? But listen, I missed a text. Yeah, I text everybody immediately know what I mean. So she was like, Hey, I'm gonna be in la Oh were you How did you feel when her and did he broke up? How did that up with somebody else? I didn't really feel anything. I didn't really feel any no light pettiness like how you how you get him as how you lose them? Nah, I didn't really feel anything, you know what I mean.

And also I would say a lot of people who are close to me, they say like, look, Ryan's very rational. So person it's about like, you know, I want to always make sure that I have as much mental space to be a visionary as possible. So as long as I let some kind of pettiness creep into my mental space. There's always a cost of everything. So there's a cost of time. There's a cost of space. You know, if you if you have a house and you got a

nice words, yeah, the cost of world. So you have a house, you got a nice living room, and you decide like, hey, I want to put this, you know, massive sculpture in the middle. There's a cost of that space. So I think of my mind in the same way. I don't want to put some massive sculpture of pettiness or anything in there. I want to have as much clear space so I could be the visionary that I really want to be. I think also it's important for

young people of color. Right there's so much wealth that's being created right now in technology, So yes, I think it's great. We're seeing a lot of young people who are actually you know, getting it on the music side, and then on the flip side. Um, you know, there's an incredible pathway that I think people should definitely consider. Learn how to speak the language of the future, which is learned how to code. I had to teach myself

how to code in twenty thirteen. Learn that language and to the point where it becomes second nature, becomes a nate. If you grew up in a bilingual house, it's not hard for you to speak two languages, right, And so for the world that we're living in now, when you look at the value that's been created in Amazon and later on in Uber and Facebook and Instagram, WhatsApp had nineteen employees, got sold for nineteen billion. That's a billion

dollars per employee. That's a simple chat app. Be creative, be visionary, and learn the tools that it's going to take to take your idea to the level you want to take it. And I'm saying that right now in technology is only about three percent minorities. I ain't know that, and that's what I'm saying. Those numbers are staggering, and so we are who I mean, listen. And so that's that's really why I was like, look, I'll wrap about it, I'll sing about it, I'll write about it, I'll do

music about it, I do technology about it. Because even if I'm not the you know, at the Grammys and at the Oscars, etc. But someone like Arnaments discovers what I'm doing and says, you know what, I could replicate that it only takes one person to be Michael Jackson, only takes one person be Jimmy Hendricks, only takes one person to be Steve Jobs. But when we look at the actual technologists that I made it and made that

type of impact, they need to look like us. When you think about this picture, when you see that picture, what what was that pure that's you and Kanye and it's Drake in the middle. What was that picture? Do you remember that picture? Well? I remember this picture. This picture was was my birthday and that's when we did. Uh, We did a bunch of records together. We did started up.

That was the time when Kanye was just saying that Lloyd Banks one of the greatest, you know lyricists, right, So we did started up with Banks, We did Christian Dior, Dinham Flow. We did a bunch of records around that time. And I'm not exactly sure what the Drake oh, because they said that Drake's emergence added to your career being stifled. Hmmm, Well, I would say, like I have a I got a clip. Uh. I used to do a lot of work out of Chunking studios, and I have a clip of Drake who

actually came to the student Yeo at that time. And actually Drake, I think, said something on Instagram the other the other day or a couple of weeks ago that he used to listen to my music a lite and on one of his first mixtapes he said something you could be my next selection, like r Les or something like that. So, I mean, listen, somebody had to inspire

Michael Jackson to do the Moonwalk. And so for whatever I've done, whatever contributions I've made to Cassie, Puffy, Drake, Kanye and hopefully to the Steve Jobs of the future. Those are the ways that I think my life is actually going to be measured. Is how generous was I with my creativity, How generous was I with my craft, How generous was I with my resources, my contacts. And

so I feel like I've been blessed. I've made great decisions from an investment standpoint in terms of time and also in terms of just the stock market, et cetera. Like me being that early in technology, I knew in two thousand and nine put your money in Google, Apple, Amazon, you know Starbucks well, and then I sold Starbucks to get into Facebook, and more recently, you know, being in

those conversations in Silicon Valley. Somebody told me in twenty thirteen, hey, you should, you should get on the cryptocurrency way, And I would have never known about it unless I was in the conversation. But I would have never been in those conversations unless I had the openness to change the conversations. I was in music industry in so many aspects as a crab mentality, because they feel like there's such scarcity.

Once you can get from a place of scarcity and get to a place of abundance where people like, look, there's so much value that's going to be created in cryptocurrency, you should get in there. Yeah, there's so much value that's being created in the stock market, you should get in a lot of people do things and try to be really secretive about it and don't want other people to know about it and feel like I'm going to do it. I don't want anybody else to take this

from me or still this when really transparency. Fully, that's why I feel like a lot of stuff that happened to you in the music industry is more of an indictment of other people's insecurity than it is of you. That's the case, and at least you sleep well at night knowing, Oh man, I sleep great all three hours. Well, salute to you, Ryan Leslie, thank you, Yeah, yes, and uh yeah, support Ryan Leslie and all because clearly you're

trying to do things that are bigger than you. Absolutely, I'm doing it like they say, we're doing it for the culture. I really am doing it for the culture. And it's great to be talking about a ten year anniversary show. Uh that thing sold out over text and I think it's just just yet another example of the power of this communication protocol and how underutilized it is. And so for the lucky people that actually will be

in the building, we're gonna have a great show. And for anything else that you ever need from me, it's text Ryan dot com reach me directly. The words Ryan Leslie, therefence say the game, don't get the same man you are donkey today does not discriminate. I might not have the song of today, but I got the donkey there. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey man, hit it with the deeples. I've been called a lot of my twenty three years. That dunkey of the day is a new wife. Okay, well, don't key.

The day goes to a fifty year old man in Detroit whose name has not been released, but he went the wall with a cockroach and the cockroach one. Let me tell you something. If you've ever tried to kill a cockroach, you understand the struggle. Okay. I grew up in a single wide trailer on a dirt road, and mosskr of South Carolina drop on a clothes box and Moss Carna damn. Okay. On that dirt road, the cockroaches were indisruptible wings. We're gonna get there. We're gonna get there.

I'm talking to one that. I'm talking to one man. I'm talking to ones. You may grab a shoe and hit a cockroach with all your might, and it'll run through that hit like Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott runs through linebackers. Okay, See, when you hit that cockroach, you have to hit it with something hard and heavy, because if you try to use like a flip flop or a balled up newspaper or magazine, that cockroach will not be phased. In fact, you may take that cockroach

and and and just make them mad. And when cockroaches getting mad, as Angel Lee just said, they fly. Oh yes, cockroaches fly. It's a superpower you don't even realize they have, just like Captain Marvel. Okay, one minute, your mind in your business trying to murder a cockroach. Next minute it's a full on aerial attack. And the only thing you can do is spray a whole scene with red, which could potentially end up killing you and the cockroach. All right,

cockroaches bite as well. Oh it's not a comma, Yes I do. It's not a cock hor fight of cockroaches. I'm not gonna lie. Listen, it's not a common thing, but they this is the thing of a small cockroach. It's roaches, and then it's cockroaches. Okay, I didn't know that. Don't think a cockroach bite can't happen to you, because you know, a lot of us out there believe we're

gonna win the powerball. So if you believe that, you are one of the one in two hundred and ninety two million people that can win the Powerball, and please believe you can get bit by cockroach. All right. I'm just trying to paint the picture of how dangerous cockroaches are. That's why I'm glad to see the fear in your eye this morning. Angel disgusting. Oh, it's a struggle, and it's one of the main reasons the only cockroach we acknowledge is steal the Bok's best friend. All right, you

don't get the reference, do your googles. I don't have time to explain now this fifty year old man and Detroit went to war with a cockroach. And I'm telling you, if you don't know what you're doing when you're battling these cockroaches. Then you can end up in the same situation this poor man found himself. And when going to war with a cockroach, you have to think murder death. You gotta be Michael Jordan Kobe, not Lebron meaning you have to have chiller instinct. It's killer, be killed when

battling cockroaches. If you shoot, you better not miss, or that's your ass. And that's exactly what happened to this brother in Detroit. He's fifty years old, he's in a wheelchair, mind in his business. Cockroach jumps out and this man fifty but moving like a rookie, threw a shoe across the room after cockroach. Let me tell you never, let me tell you why this is a bad idea. Man.

When you go to war with a cockroach, you gotta pull up, all right, dude, got the wheelchair, You're supposed to pull up on the cockroach literally, and you gotta get close up on them and wham applied pressure with something heavy and hard, and don't pull that heavy, hard thing off the cockroach until you hear a crunch. Okay, when you hear that crunch, then you remove the heavy heart object and you see the guts oozing out of

the car. Play dead, you think it's dead. Okay, I got it, And then listen for the crunch where to go. When you listen for the crunch, you pull that thing off. You see the guts oozing out, You know you've won. Now when you throw a shoe across the room, you give a cockroach time to think. Okay, the cockroaches like, do I take flight on his ass, I run for cover, come back with a couple of the homies, invite him in his sleep. Or this cockroach they're just gonna really

scare you. This cockroach did something I've never seen before. Okay. Clearly, cockro just have evolved and they are ready to go to war with raid orcan and any shoe a boot that has ever posed a threat to their existence. Okay, Because when this man threw his shoe at the cockroach, that's what he got back. What a bullet? What the cockroach shot him? The cockroach shot him. Cockroaches can't shoot You heard me, boy? All right? The man threw a

shoe at the cockroach and ended up getting shot. Now, there was nobody else in the house but this man. In the cockroach, the man threw a shoe at the cockroach and then he got shot with a revolver. Okay, if it was a single hammer revolver, then you now know why they call it a cock roach. Okay, because it has to have that hammer cocked to be fired. Now.

W d IBTV is reporting that this man threw his shoe at the roach, and when he threw the shoe, he forgot he had his gun in the shoe, and so when it hit the ground, it discharged and shot him. That's what they're saying. I don't believe that what you're saying. I think these cockroaches are certain areas, got just as many guns as we do, and grew up on the east side of the trail. Yes, absolutely, I got the

exact address. It's the eighteen seven hundred block Albions pre what else that I guess, the east side of the trail. All I'm saying is, all I'm saying is we need to stay walked because there's a war going on in our homes that nobody is safe from. Okay, these cockroach just got guns. What are we supposed to do? Now? All right, it's some home remedies that you can use. They say, fabric soften, the spray work. They say, lemon pills and lemon juice work, dnspray. I've heard that, you know.

I think that just makes them mad when all else fails. Instead of throwing that old pad Tim's out. Keep them all right, keep them to be cockroach killers. But I don't know what to do now that cockroach has got hamlets be now he scared to go home? Now not you of the story. The moral of the story is you don't scare a man who sees people as cockroaches, and you can't scare a cockroach who sees himself as a man. Yes, please get this fifty year old brother

from Detroit. The sweet sounds of the hamletotes. Oh no, you are do gee? Oh the do gee? Oh? Is that a real story? You know what stuff we're gonna have to talk about, Jordan Peel. This be a great horror movie. Imagineaches got their guns, just like you ever see that movie back in the day, The Birds, where the birds all came together and they were invading people's homes. To imagine the cock roaches have guns and they run you out of your own home. Because I'm already scared

to go back in the house. If I ever see a roach, I'm not coming back home. The roads had a gun. You can have the house. They won't be prepared in these streets. All right. We got more coming up next with a breakfast Club.

Call up Man for asking anybody, dj Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy we are The Breakfast Club, The time for asking, yeat, Hello, who's this? Hey? My name is? I'm not gonna because

I don't want to. You're anonymous. Okay. I have a man and he has a twenty year old, a seventeen year old, six year old, and a three year old. Okay, but I don't have any kids. Okay, my man like everything else. Every day he doesn't call me and saying how your day doing, or did you eat? Anything like that, But he caused his daughter, which is acceptable. I don't mind him doing well. I'm not jealous of anything like that. But he caused his daughter and he makes sure, Okay,

did you eat today? Or did you what did you do? Did it this or not? But is it wrong for me to say, like, okay, why can't he do that for me? So you want him to treat you like his daughter. No, I don't want him to treat me like his daughter. What I want him to do is I want some of the attentions that I'm not saying. I want the attention that he's giving his daughter, but I'm saying that as a woman shouldn' he asked me how my thing is going and stuff like that too,

Like I don't understand that's the daughter. You gotta make sure that his daughter is okay? But how about me? Because it seems like the temptons always driftad But well, it sounds like he has four kids and a lot going on that he has to check up on, and you don't have any kids, and your attentions always on him. But his attention is more divided because he has a lot more things to be concerned about and a lot more people. Oh yeah, you do you call him and

check on him and ask how he's doing. Yes, all the time. I text him at work and make sure he's okay and stuff like that. But he seems he doesn't seem to like get to drift to do it with me. I don't know if it's because I don't ask for or if I don't, But why don't you ask for it? I don't know, because I sound like he's hard heading like you don't listen well, and if I ask for it, it won't make no fit well, missunanimously. Why would you talk yourself out of something that you

haven't even tried yet. So this is what you do, and it's all about how you ask for things too, and how we community kate with each other. So if you say it in a way like you know what I love. I love when you call me and check on me. And I appreciate that. That's why I always calling check on you, baby. Yeah, you right? You right? I should be more in gi Yeah, I should do things.

Give him the opportunity to do what you want him to do stead instead of saying to yourself, he not gonna do it anyway, he don't want to do this. Why he don't treat me like this? You got to show people how to treat you sometimes. Yeah, you're right, you worry about that. I never thought of it like I just thought of because I'm more quiet than the push as am. I say. I'm more of a man coming on to me than me coming on to a man. All right, that's all. Well he's a little older, so

he's probably not playing those games with you. But go ahead and let him know what you went and do it in a nice way, and perhaps he'll do it and then you guys will be a whole lot happier. Yeah, you right, Thank you very much for the advice. Thank you. I appreciate you for calling and checking in on me. Boo, all right, thank you, all right, good luck? Ask ye don't drink five a five one on five one if you need relationship advice to any type of advice here

ye now was the breakfast club. Good morning. I'm gonna keep a real wait, you get some real advice with Angela Ye's ask ye morning. Everybody is dj envy Angela Yee Charlomagne the guy we are the breakfast club at time for asking? Ye, Hello, who's this big Shanna? Hey Shanny, what's your question for? Ye? Should I take my baby daddy back? Okay? Why are you not together? We're not together because he recently cheated on me a year ago and I was pregnant with our third child. He ended

up having a possibility baby. So you don't know yet if that's his baby the next Yeah, we don't. Yeah, we don't know yet. And have you been in contact with this woman? She always contacted me to get a hold of helm And I'm like, I'm not I'm not in your situation. She done. She tried to put a restraint in order on us, just been doing like weird, Like I don't talk to her. I don't even know why she tried to put a restraint on order on us. We went to court, the juice looking at her like,

bitches you crazy. He's like, you need to put a restraint on her, on us, on her, and I'm like, I don't do all that? All right? She and it said, let's back up for a second. So you and your baby father are together? No, we not together, But do you all live together. Yeah, we still live together, so you are kind of I mean, and you still love him. Yeah, I still love him. He's only got I've been with we've been together for almost nine years. But now there's

gonna be some messiness if this is indeed his baby. Now, let's as far as the other women, right, you can't be mad at her. She's pregnant with a child on the way that that child is his, and he's not communicating already had the baby. Oh she had it. So there's been no opportunity test or anything. Yeah, they just rankfully. She spent like some people to my house with these court orders and they just recently got a test done. The test should be back here and Mark we have

find out in March. So part of what you want to do is is it depended also on whether or not this is his child. I just don't know if I should take him back period like that. It's from her. I was pregnant and he went on and did that. But the sad thing is, it's like, I know why he went on and cheated because I'm crazy. Baby, Listen, don't blame a man for cheating on you and not being honest. That's not your fault. Okay, he could have broken up with you and said it's not working. You

can't excuse the fact that he's not your fault. Ever, you can't say I understand why he did it. He's wrong. Okay, true, So don't say, oh, I can understand why he cheated. Don't let him brainwash you that way. But oh no, it's a simple factor like I did from real crazy Like if he just parted out, I probably would have when cheated too. He didn't brainwash me or not. But Shannon, I'm gonna say, what did you do? I just got to know. Oh, I stabbed him? Oh my god. This

is a toxic relationship. There's cheating, there's stabbing, there's violence. Oh, you're doing anything like as far as the fact that you have kids to raise together with therapy like family therapy, therapy with him. That's what his mom told us to do. But I'm just not with Shannon. That's what you have to say. That's what you have to do. Y'all got

kids involved. You guys are violent, there's affairs, there's things going on, and you want to make sure in the future that these things don't happen and learn how to deal with your anger a right, And so the first step I would say for you before you decide if you're taking him back or not, is for you to both go to therapy and find out what some of the issues that you have with each other and how to deal with those issues. Better work on that before

you decide what decision you're going to make. But you have to do that, all right, right, for the sake of your children. Do that. You're so hard, I don't even know. Listen, the things that are beneficial to you are not always easy, right, and I promise you it's going to help you as a person, as a mom,

as a potential wife. You have to heal that first, and whether or not you guys end up together, this would be great for you, all right, bright, all right, So don't make any decisions now, but make the decision to go to therapy. That's the only one you need to make, Okay, all right, Shannon, Let please check back in and let me know what happens. We want to

monitor your progress. Thank you. Okay, don't stab anyone. I'm done with that angry like I don't know when I get pregnant, I get angry like goodness, gracious, all right, mama geezh, all right, ask ye eight hundred five A five one on five one. If you need relationship advice, here e Now it was the Breakfast Club, Good morning, but everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy.

We'll try to help you out with your problems and all that good stuff. So let's go to the phone line. Hello, who's this hey, Keisha? What's your question for C? And My question is I've been dating this guy for like three years now I have an eight year old and that's not my him. Um, that's

for my previous relationships. My boyfriend got a job offering toth Calina to become a cop. Now my all my family is here in New Jersey, my grandmother, my son's grandparents, His father's nothing we in his life, but I keep in touch with his family, so my son has a great relationship with everybody. My family's here. My boyfriend's family is in South Carolina. Were not all of them, but

some of them are there. He got friends there. Now is it fair for me to just uproot my life, my son's life, and move there with him to support him? You know? This is this is how you know somebody giving out the average penis, because if that man was giving out top notch penis, you wouldn't even have to ask yourself that question. No, that's not true, it's not true. No, she's she's looking out for her son. She's not worried here,

my mom here, his his father's family here. Like I said, I keep great contact with him, like it's nobody there for us. You know what I'm saying? How serious is this though? How serious is the relationship? Do you ever ring? We're serious? But it's just like you know, it's a take set Like from Jersey to South Carolina. That's a big sep. I take that step without a ring. By the way, I'm I made the opposite step. I made the opposite step. I went from South Carolina to Jersey

to New York. Okay, back in two thousand and what six, And you know when Wendy Williams and her husband was like, Yo, we can give you a place to stay, but we can't pay you. So I was out. Okay, so yo, Sometimes you got to step out on faith, Martin Lui Kain Junior said, sometimes you got to step out on faith, even if you don't see the whole rest of the steadcase. You might just see one step, all right, don't I've been going through his phone, misak through his phone. Now

he is going to propose. He already asked my father what's coming? But I would wait, wait, wait for that proposal. Son eight as eight, So this up root in him, That's all I was worried about, like it would this be the best decision from this a mom and a woman's point of build. Wow, wait for that proposal. See the thing is is you don't want to go all the way out then and it doesn't work, and now

you're stuck in South Carolina with nothing to do. Don't disrespect to South Carolina, Charlomagne, but you know Jersey is way better. So it's just amazing how average penis won't won't allow you to make proper decisions, like if you had a if this man was blowing your back out the right way, you'd be out. You would be gone about her son, thank you for calling the keys. He's a little young boy. He's funny seven years old. So I'm good where I'm at. Well, thank you, I'm a
