Impacting the coach up in the morning, and they want to hear that breakfast score, the world's most dangerous morning show.

Did the plane in this Monday? Yes, it's Monday. Back to the work week. Tonight is all Hollywood Halloween, right, Met gall Matt Gallas, right, Hollywood seen Tonight. That's when they all dressed up and have a trigger tree party.

I was reading an article about that about how it's so stressful for people to go to the Matt Galen. A lot of people aren't going this year. We stressful. They all rich and can afford night's offits. I guess it's hard to find that it's outfits. Some people getting tailored made. What it is is with Anna Wintour, who was the editor as editor in chief of Vogue for such a long time. I guess she has to personally

approve every single person that comes. If you're bringing a guest, you have to approve that person, and then she does the whole seating arrangements, and then she also as far as the red carpet, there's like a whole order of when you're allowed to go on the Red carpet. So she picks and chooses who goes win and certain people get and it's just very stressful when you go. So this one big mean girl party, big exactly. Oh that's what it seems like. Well, I hope you guys had

a great week and I had a wonderful weekend. Started off in Kentucky to the Kentucky Derb. I just had to do shows, parties. I didn't actually go to to the Kentucky Becauld Tucky Derby. None of your new girls did. For Diddy, I see wait to hear this from Page's news story about the Kentucky Derby. When I took my son to his first baseball game, my four year old Jackson. We went to see the Yankees play, and then I

took him to a car show. He loves car shows, so Sunday there was a bunch of car shows going on in Jersey, so I just drove to a bunch of car shows and he was he was very excited. So my weekend was very busy. What about you guys? Weekends, I did a panel called Shattered Glass and that was for the women's satin Shattered Backward Jordan's that came out, So that was fun. And then I got sick and I was sick all day Saturday. I didn't leave the house. I was laid in the bed all day. And I'm

finally feeling a little better. Sickness in the morning or just regular sickness. The regular sickness. I think somebody who works here was sick for a few days, and I think I've got some of those germs. So because I had the same things, I had a really bad sore throat. It was fatigued. I couldn't get out of the bed. What about you s y'all? All? So, like y'all had a been for weekends, I did nothing. I watched Dear

White People all weekends. That's what I was doing. I was at home binging Netflix, watching Deal White People, minding my goddamn visit and shout out to Donald Glever because he put out that video over the weekend as well as doing Saturday Night Live, and it was amazing. I definitely watched that video. You have some discussions about that video. I thought visually it was a great piece of art, but I got a I got questions, Lord, I got questions.

You know what I'm saying, Well, that's what That's what art's supposed to do, right, is supposed to make you think it is supposed to ask me? You absolutely stink outside the box. Yeah, everybody's got all these different meanings of what they thought the video. The video. The video was no. I feel like you should have you should have had a white man shooting all the black people who are enjoying themselves having a good time. I didn't like the optics of a black man doing it. But

we can talk, we can discuss. I thought he was supposed to be America when he said this is America. You can't you're black. Yeah, but we'll talk about it. So I'm sure, and the rumors coming up, but we got front page news. What we're talking about. We are gonna let's talk about the Kentucky Derby. Now, I know y'all think there wasn't no black people at the Kentucky Derby, but we'll tell you a great story about what happened over the weekend. All right, and styles Pee will be

joining us this morning, so don't move. It's to breakfast club. Good morning. We are the breakfast clubs getting some front page news. Now. NBA recap playoffs Game four, Warriors beat the Pelicans one eighteen ninety two. Also, the Raptors beat the Jazz one hundred and eighty seven outs night the Celtics play the Sixes and the Cavs played the Raptors. Now where you want to start you, let's talk with

the Kentucky. Start with the Kentucky Derby. A woman from Austin, Texas actually bet eighteen dollars at the Kentucky Derby and won one point two million dollars. She did this pick five wager and she picked justified and win the Kentucky Derby. But she also selected the winners of all four races that led up to the main event, so all five of them and she won one point two million dollars. Wow, So congratulations to her. She doesn't want to be identified, but the pictures of her, and yes she is a

black woman. So the horses or was a guest. She said she actually did study it. Yeah, and was able to make decisions. But she said, even that's never a short shot anyway, So she he is able to pick all five winners. No congrats to her. Have you ever? Yeah, I know you probably went to horse racing before. I ain't never been. No, god, damn horse race. What the hell? I want to go to a horse race? Maybe? Yeah? What about you? Ye Oh, it's fun. It's a lot

of fun. You gotta pick tri affected who comes in first, second or third? Who comes in first and second or the winner. It's it's it's a lot of odds. It's a lot of fun. I did when I went to college to him, be really fun when you win too. I didn't win that much. I've been to a pit bull fight. You've been one of those. Nope, great, should be an Olympic sport. All right. Now, listen about Donald Trump. Now.

He was speaking at an NRA convention in Dallas, and he had this to say about the result of Kanye West praising him. African American unemployment has reached another all time in history record lover in history. Kanye West must have some power, because you probably saw I doubled my African American poll numbers. We went from eleven to twenty two in one week. Thank you, Kanye. By the way, that's not even a real data. Like you can go look on CNN Media and they have a headline how

Trump's falls claim about African American support happened. Like he's just making up statistics. Yeah, it says that the eleven percent boost is based on polling only black men for what it's working, and they pulled under They pulled less than two hundred black men and they were selected. The people that they pulled were actually selected. Now, Donald Trump is also making some threats on what he has to do in order for this country to be great. Here's

what he had to say. We are fixing and building walls now, but we need much more money. We're doing the job right. We're going to do their jobs, and we may have to close up our country to get this straight, because we either have a country or we don't, and you can't allow people to pour into our country. We have to have borders. If you don't have borders, you don't have a country. We either have a country or we don't. We just all on a big plot

of land, pretty much. What did that mean? We're just all on a big plot of land in various regions. We don't. We either have a country or we don't. Now, I gotta give you, guys this update on the E Coli contaminated romane letters. Still, so far, one peron has died. Now that's the first fatality, an unidentified person in California, and a total of one hundred and twenty one people in twenty five states have been sick. So just make

sure you stay away from romaine lettuce right now. Coli confuses me because we tell people to stay away from romaine lettuce, but then we encourage ass eaton. So what what? What is it is that the lettuce are the dukie on the lettuce? D about the duke and people's buttholes when people are eating as at. I don't encourage you to do that because a lot of people that got was in contact with buttholes this week. But it shouldn't be dirty buttholes. We should be clean. But man, the

colis on everything, whether y'all want to believe it or not. Okay, all right, Well, that bacteria normally lives in the intestines of animals, which includes cows and pigs. So maybe it's the combination of coli and lettuce. Maybe it's animal feces, Maybe it's animals. That is very true. This is disgustom why we're talking about this Monday morning. Now, that's the taste tests we need to have. Remember back in room, how do you used to have tastests with cocon pepski.

So you know, I don't know that they weren't meat taking it away because you know, but I'm just wondering, like what our parents doing out here with their children? Who? Now? Why why are we acting like this is anything new? Like we didn't grow up being addicted to Nintendo and Sega Genesis and PlayStation in Xbox. All you gotta do is limited time on him. He'll get over the Fortnite and then let me ask you a question. Is he doing

his homework? Yeah? He always has. Is he out playing you know? Is it outdoing sports? Basketball? Even athlete starting quarterbacks for his football team. All you gotta do with limited time, That's all I tell him, Like, look, you got a certain amount of hours in the week to be able to play your little fortnight. But it's also new, so it's fresh. So all the kids are doing it. Their friends are doing it. They're talking to each other on the phones while they're playing. His time, how old

are he is? Thirteen? Oh? Give him up some time and a minute he'll be liking poom. He'll be bored of it in a little bit. And at that time, as long as he's not he's not messing up in school or he's not going out to practice, let them let him have a little time. That's like you watching your stories and in a minute to be all about girls. I got one more. When do you doube like, I've raised two boys, this is my second boy. Um, And so they get girlfriends and then you have to pay

And he has his birthday and all of that, Hey, yeah, probably yes, Okay, so get a nice little birthday gift. So why don't you just make them do choices around the house and paying for the choice? Yeah, you gotta

work for that. My kids get a little money when they watched the when they watched the siblings, or when they do stuff around the house and get a little bread for doing different things. Let him buys, don't give. Yeah, unfortunately, the own the most. The thing he's doing the most, seas they staying for a night. Baby. All you gotta listen, All you gotta do is tell your sons. If they can't, if they can't pay for themselves, they don't deserve nothing.

Right now, Alicia raising him to be a respectful man. Here you go. I say, you guys, have a great day. Brantis Club, get it off your chests. Eight hundred five eighty five, one on five on you. We got rumors all the way. I mean, let's talk about Childish Game vn O a k A. Donald Glover and the new songs that he debuted in particular this Is America as long as well as his appearance on Saturday Night Live. All right, we'll get into all that when we come back.

Keep it locked. This to Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela, Yee, Charlomagne, Guy, We all the breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors to score us. Let's get into Donald Glover. Wow, this is the rumor report with Angela Breakfast Club. I was gonna say childish gam b noo, and then I was gonna say Donald Glover. This came out if you want to get into him? To say you want to get into him, I'll tell you want to do your Monday.

Let's go girl. Well, it was a big weekend for Donald Glover as he was on Saturday Night Live, but also put out two new songs and a new video for This Is America that was very viral. Now when he was on Saturday Night Live. With the opening monologue, he also talks about how he actually got turned down check it out. But it truly is an honor to be hosting SNL, you know, instead of just auditioning for it, which I did twice. That's not a joke. I'm just

still pissed. All right. So I'm sure they wish they would have had Donald Glover on because he did have some very memorable skits over the weekend. Now he in addition, well, let's start off with the skit that he did with Kanye West. Well, not with Kanye West, but of Kanye West. Now it's a rendition of the movie A Quiet Place, which is a horror film, and in it, Donald Glover is reading Kanye's controversial tweets. But every time they talk, someone gets taken away. Check it out. Don't let the

monster she hear us. We have to be quiet. You got godye ain't just tweeting. He said he would have voted with Trump. Seriously, guys, don't talk. Lessons absolutely necessary. The monsters can't see us, but they can hear rest. And if we're too loud, we'll all be killed. Yet has to happen everything Trump signing, he signed that, y'all, Oh, come on, Kanye Hey. That Kanye Place sketch was brilliant,

flawless Kanye Place, flawless, high level messaging. We have all these imminent threats to our lives around us, but we also distracted by social media. Instead, of us talking about what's important. We're focused on the bs. That was brilliant, especially if you've seen the movie The Quiet Place All right. Now, Kanye tweeted and he put crying, laughing faces and fire emojis alongside of that video sketch, so I guess he thought it was funny as well. Now, another skit they

did was the Megos going to therapy. Check it out, turn turning down, end up, We turn it up, thinking were two fifty times double that up in my mouth show the she bad look at my swab, but she got all that get in that cash. Hated me mad those We stayed with the bag in the morning with some bitches and I'm smiling, but we gotta if we want to stay sim we go to therapy. Everything quite a week to go to Angelo. That's not of good. I love it. I love the fact that they are

promoting therapy. I just like how the universe is working right now because it's all these conversations about therapy and its mental health Awareness month. I love it. But you gotta watch the whole Mego skate because that was really funny too with them in therapy. All right. So Donna Glover also put out This is America. He performed that and he also performed another song on Saturday Night Live. He debuted tu new song Saturday and This is America, and he did a video for this is America and

that went viral. Check out some of that song, This is America. You come living off hotly, be tripping off yil. This is America under my area. I got this strap, Hey, I gotta carry them. Yeah yeah, I'm gonna go into this yeah yeah, this is Gorilla. Yeah yeah, I'm gonna go get the bad yeah yeah. Oh, I'm gonna get the bad get yeah yeah yeah, I'm so yeah yeah. Tough Tune, Tough Tune Joe song Joe video, and you know it has ad libs from twenty one Savage, black Boy,

JB Slim, Jimmy Quabor, and Young Thug as well. Well. I can't wait to talk to the listening audience about this this video because I thought visually it was great, reminding me of that old X to the Z video. What you see is what you get, y'all? Remember that? Yeah? I remember, But when I first saw the video didn't make me feel good. It didn't. I think he should. I just think he should have had a white man shooting all the black people who were enjoying themselves having

a good time. I didn't like the optics of him a black man doing it. It felt like he was reinforcing the negative stereotypes of black men being violent in the narrative of black on black crime, especially if you're saying this is America, over and over, Let's show some balance, because no black people shooting down church folks with an AK forty seven. The mass shooting problem is largely white men with the AK forty seven. So just show me

the whole totality of America. That's interesting because I didn't really look at it that way, and I know a lot of people had different interpretations of the video, but I looked at it as he was representing America. And when he did shoot down, which was reminiscent of what happened in Charleston, South Carolina, which hit home because that's my birthplace, right, and uh, that was such a doubt to me. It was the most powerful moment in the whole entire video. But I didn't even look at it

like it was a black man doing it. I just looked at it like America. He was representing America. To me, it didn't matter that it was him or that it was a black man. It was what it represented because we all know what happened in the actuality. So and I didn't like, I'm shooting down all the black people with the end running from all white people. Let the chopper sing on vanilla ices one time now, all right, But I will talk more about that. Obviously a lot

of different perspectives. One of my friends told me that, you know, it represented we as black people getting paid off killing each other and then America ultimately turns on us. So we're so busy singing and dancing while so many of us are getting killed in the street by each other. But it's hard, you know, It's several different ways. And I feel like, yeah, there were different interpretations. He wanted

us to have absolutely all that dancing and singing. It's a distraction from what's going on around us, and we're so busy paying attention to that we don't see what's happening in the background, which was in the video. What happened in the background in the video. And I like courses walking past scissors in the video, and I like how the guns thet we like it started with a ninth and an AK forty seven. The ultimately got taken away. That was that was a dope symbolization, very very provocative

visual man. And I'm gonna play the full version. I'm gonna start to mix up with the full verse later on. If you haven't heard it, okay, well I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor report, and we should discuss what the listeners this morning. Yeah, yeah, so um, I'd love to hear different interpretations of the video to definitely go see it if you haven't seen it yet, because we'll talk about it in the eight o'clock hour. But up next styles P will be joining us, so don't move.

It's to breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Sholomagne the guy. We all the breakfast club. We got a special guest in the building, styles Pe. Everything's good. We was in here talking about I saw a tweet styles posted. We said, middle aged fat is hard to get rid of. It's not about it's where, it's where. It's that. Yeah, it's like it just when you it just goes in one spot when you middle

what you call love handles. Yea exactly. I don't really mind the front a little front pouch, like if you don't got love handles, because it's like it's a little character like you know, yeah you still yeah, you still get away with your frame is still good. But the love handles, it's just it sucks. The front past they called at the baller belly. So people, yeah, like stress ain't got too good. I never had a six. Fact,

I ain't gonna lie to you. I could get a nice four, thought a nice Yeah, I get a four. It's funny that Jada for that. I actually blame kids for that because he said gangsters don't die, they get chubby and move to Miami. Always thought it was cool to have a little stomach. Yeah, is this character. I think the men are just differently than women when it comes to putting on weight too. I mean they are because we don't even think of guys as being as self conscious about it as we are, because for us,

you know, it's a big deal. We get away at the first thing people say, oh she's pregnant, or well, when your middle age and you're a male and your back hurt, you start like grinding when you bending down and you got to start checking that it could go. It could go all the way downhill for bed say, oh, you know, I hurt my shoulder, like I heard. I heard my shoulder got a little authritis, and into that's why you gotta make sure you stretch if you work out.

I'm missing cartilage. So I stopped working out, like I just started slacking. And I really like, I'm like three months later, I'm a middle aged man. I'm like almost an average citizen if I don't get pulled back together, Like, but your diet is still dope though my die is dope. That's what keep me looking regular. I talk about feeling like a big part of working out is a lot of people like looks definitely. But you gotta you want

to wake up feeling great. I don't want to wake up be at your best, you know, feel great, be thankful to the creator that you up and just coming with that good energy because you know, you don't know

what the day brings. But well, you have a new album out, and I'm like, okay, so he has studio album, and it seems like it's really good for you because I you know, obviously I speak to you, I see you on the Graham You're traveling black love thing is happening, So I'm like, there's no way he could be uh dugging on this album. But I mean I think I

bring balanced, like you know what I mean. I think as an artist, you you always sometimes especially when you when you become a businessman or you start dabbling dabbling into other things. You get older and you get more mature, you very you think about what you say more. Like when I was young, I was just more free with

my art. But then sometimes you just want to feel free with your art and is I just tried this one, I particularly said called the g host because I felt like I was gonna be a host to the gangsters and the gentleman on this one, like you know what I mean, Like I was just hosting some authentic hip hop. Then I kind of wanted to talk. It's a little I think it's an album for the old, the young, the conscious, the gangster and just like somebody who I

guess appreciates lyricism. Obviously, I know you way better now than I did like years ago, But you really are a gangster and a gentleman Like that is the truest way to define I believe, So your personality, I think most rappers want or nerds to the most part, and then it was most of them were raised right to some degree. Like you know what I'm saying. I think the streets always. I think that was one thing I was blessed. That's what helped me along with the Juice

Juice Game. I always from the game from the jump, one of the people to know I'm the general. I'm not all street, I'm not all FuG like I was raised right my mom. My parents did a good job. Just streets take you to another way sometimes. But I think that's important, especially in our society, like we was taught to say please, thank you whole doors, absolutely, pick up bags for neighbors, and just try to just all around be courteous. That's my grandma money won't. Yeah, you

know what I mean. I feel like you always trying to find balance in life. It's like you're on a constant question for balance. That's my daily that's my daily questions for balancing peace daily like daily daily because um, a dude told me this and I'm shout out to season Vegan and um home, but a worker told me one day and it stuck with me years ago. He told me balance is never straight. The act of being

balanced is when you're balanced, you're straight. So I'm always working on my balance, like you know, because I'm not up, I'm not down. And when you think you all the way up, something's gonna bring you down, you think you all the way down, something's gonna bring you up. So I just try to appreciate it both, try to learn how to work with it all on my daily, daily thing and just and the day. And I am balanced, I'm spread the message. People know how I got it.

You won't hear from me again most likely. What do you think you're looking for it though? Like what's the balance? I think I think just me just a quest for to really find out in the in the peace, without really thinking about every Like I'm greedy in a sense, like I like nice things. I like to spend money. I like to live life fast, but also on the flip side, like to live life slowing and kind of appreciate nature, just the human body, the human mind, energy.

But at the same time, you know you I'm a rapper, I like nice things. I'm a street do so nice things. So sometimes I think it's hard to do both. Sometimes just being honest with him well for me within myself. Sometimes it's like, all right, I want to be a multi part of my French. I want to be like I just want to be a multi millionaire, get this billion. But then the other part is like, we know, we got to feed the community, and that's the money form part.

So sometimes you got to balance out within yourself. I cannot make them both for it and I do both. If not, which one is more important? Like you know what I'm saying. So I think that's my constant question because I really want to I think my partner over here too, you your partner, my partner and work. I think what we have and shout up for a brand just period far as juices for life, I think where

we have is something for me. It's something that's bigger than any of us and what we're even trying to do. I feel like just later on in the future, it's gonna be crazy and it's like with a new ge for health, because I feel like the one thing where the world needs to go is just kind of look at what are we doing for people. Let's get this bread. I got to be the daily quest, But what are we doing for people? That's what I'm saying just a little bit of that from a little bit of everybody,

we'd be cool. Now. I agree with you because people were asking, like, what would you say is one of your biggest achievements, and I would say having to be involved with the Juice Bar in Brooklyn because you get to really see people every single day that are affected by you having something in the community that is benefiting them definitely and making them feel better about just their

bodies and the changes that they're making. Beautiful because like even with you being and what she brings to the table with women, like because what we do is going to require a whole family to be in it, because you want when you do when you feel good. Because one we depth like we say, I'm not I can't say everybody, but I'm greeding. I definitely love money and

like to being involved in business. But you can't enjoy without family, or you can't enjoy anything without pretty much good health, and then you can't spread and people don't spread money as much as you spread good health, and that last longer. So it's kind of easier and you, I guess won't feel it's horrible about it and bad because you know it's free it's a free thing, spread something positive and there's a lot of balance in there.

And when you see the people that come in, yeah, it's a lot of everything that's like a lot of balance. So even that that's like overwhelming and be like, wow, I have a white people that love me, cops us cops love me. We have we have a morm in the crowd something like it's just bucked out to just see and they know what we're there for them, what we're doing and they know it's about the family, while it's just taking care of yourself, taking care of your family,

taking care of your community. And we're about balanced, like because I think the one thing that happens with with the health thing and I think that's like you think you can't be hip, hip hop, cool pop whatever and do it like nah, we ain't go rules. We a saying judging, you were saying, live your life, but just throw a little balance in in and it just trying to take care of your people. That's just just the

main focus, all right. We got more with styles people when we come back, keep a lot just to Breakfast Club, Good Morning, the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee Charlomagne the guy. We all the breakfast club style peas in the building. Ye, and you said you miss your wife. I see you guys are doing black love. Shout out to the black Love shout out to the own network. That comes on in next week or something debuts? Is that next week? You've never seen that series Black Love.

I think it's the second season of it, but it's the second season. Yeah, it's on. It's on O. It's a really really dope show. It's about black love, like um Viola Davis was on season one. Um, it's just about couples in the trials and tribulationship, what they're going through, just building up black love. Yeah, I think Kurt Flint, Kurt Franklin's on um Grant Hill. To me, it's just it's real. It's actually really dope, a real, real dope shot.

I'm surprised they call us because we wasn't yet they do. They try to take all different types of that was so dope. Yeah, that's what's so dark, Like all they wanted it want some gene? How was that? Because because when I when I look at your twets, I'm like, okay, I no style still got a Slight Temple. Now, it was really cool. I think I watched you know what

was funny before they called us. I watched season one with my wife just out of She's like, the show was on, it's dope, and then it came about so that was kind of crazy. It was like, Um, I think how the show is, it's more to try to help out young black couples. And I think the producers of the show shout out to um, Tommy and Kobe. I think they was focusing in on how black people besides Obama. It's like, if you're not an Obama in them,

there's no such thing as black love. And I think that was the driving force to make sure they show what's happening in the black community. So it's a very incredible show. It's really dope. Proud to be on it. And yeah, what about when you wanted to be left alone? Though? And the cameras roll? Now, it was cool, you know

it was it was It was like therapy. It's like a therapy session and a learning thing because it's like you're talking to somebody young, they want to know something, and then you kind of gotta tell your story too, and tell on yourself and be real because you're kind of trying to be informative to the to the young couples, because it's a lot of struggles when when you don't. I'm married, but I don't say everybody has to be married. I'm a friend. I don't because I don't know even

know who invented marriage. To be honest, you know, I'm African by nature. I don't think we got married back then then, so, but I think it's a beautiful I got married because my wife wanted to and I didn't want my son to think he was a bastard growing up or kid with a woman you don't want to marter. It was just certain things and what my pops told me. So I think just being on the show, for me, it was just pretty dope, just for you know, say, hey,

it's cool. It's cool to be from the hood and you want to grow old like you know, when you're when you're in the streets and you're young, I don't care what game that is, ball, hustling, music and all that. You you definitely you don't want to do your thing and have your fun, but you don't want to grow old and alone and never have companionship or be used or not unless you really want to do that, like unless that's your choice. But like for me, I'm old fashioned.

I kind of you know, I'm weird. I don't know if the average person could really deal with me or be able to take my wages on how I'm about. So it's kind of like I've been with this woman I know kids for me genuinely, the jerk part of me, the ignorant part, like you know what I mean, it's you need if you need somebody the better and stuff. I'm somebody who needs somebody the better stuff. I like to tweet, did you put out you said you the

tree hugger that will beat you with the branch? Definitely? Definitely, because I think tree huggers get the wrong you know. I think tree hugger is a playing based people and those who's living a healthy lifestyle who feel like I want to be normal and not be judged like people go, yo, you're vegan everything. I'm gonna know, I with leather still,

so like like you know what I mean. And then not to be funny, but like somebody like me, I would love to work with Peter one day, like I was explaining to my man one day, I said, I like, I love Peter. I overstand their cause, I dig what it's about, like you know what I mean. But somebody when I'm from will never understand Peter's message because they're too worried about what they got to tell a kid

when they go outside. Absolutely, So I said, like, imagine if Peter highest people like us to you know, from where we from, so they could be able to go out. Here's what's happening here. Here's what's happening here. Here's how we bridge the gap. Because if you want to take care of beings, you gotta start take care of human beings. Then we could take care of all beings. Then human beings can understand we need to take care of all beings.

Sometimes it seems like animals have more race than we do. Yeah, because I look at I get sad because I love what they're doing. I follow them like I follow their tweets everything. So sometimes as a as a brown man, I sit and look at Peter, not mad at them

or nothing. I'm like, damn, the animals is holding it like the animals got cross the animal if you want, like you know what I mean, And then you also look and be like I'll also be like, then with the power Peter had, I wish they knew some of the social issues like that I have and put post them on the page, and that we haven't post them on the page. So yeah, so now we could be like, all right, Peter, care about us. Let's see what they're talking about, because that's a great idea, Like, you know

what I'm saying, they should hire me. I think big companies have to start to big corporation and also we as the people have to make them take responsibility. They should want to take responsibility, and we are small time hood folk have to take responsibility on learning how to better ourselves as a community. And I think out reach on both sides because then it's like why you know, because when you think about it, if you're a Paul White, if you're a Paul White man, I'm sorry your kids

are screwed over to like crap too, it's over. You're like, you're right in the same boat. So you know, I think it's just kind of on that note. So that's how I go about my mom. This is your nice studio album? Right? Did I count that? Ry? I have the slightest idea of if I'm counting mixtape, so ask me that I really Yeah, it's probably nine, I don't yeah whatever, Yes, it's my most recent one and it's the most the most effective one. And um, I did an EP of a couple of weeks ago to us.

I don't know about that called um the Nickelback EP. Um. Yeah, pretty pretty proud though, both of those two because my son produced on that. Yeah, I'm both of those. Yeah. He produced Curb the Names on ge Host and he produced you know on Nickelback. How many beats he had to play for you before you pick them? Oh, he has a whole ton of beach. I told him, I'll ever play anything with you. Don't ever like he don't ever ever? Son ever? Like yeah, like so, I mean

my son teaches me a lot, though. I think that's the good thing. He'll be twenty this month. Um, he told me years. And when I told somebody yesterday on a thing, my son told me one day and it was so made hip hop so understandable for me. I told you told me yea five side and side my generation up and down kind of it was like crystal clear, like that's the difference between us. I was like, you're right, you know, I gotta say they got that from three

to six though, definitely remember three six had the whole side. Definitely. Yeah. So you know, do you feel like you're getting better with time? I believe so. All right, I think so too. I believe so. I've always wanted to do that, and I think I'm accomplishing it. You know what I mean. I've get more mature. Sometimes I'm not as aggressive as I want to be. Oh yeah, no, I really have a far I have a far left mind. Dog like I think if I really go leftist, like then come on,

ain't you the guy who sells fruits and berries? Like it's like this one candling stuff you said, don't let the fan get to your head because a gun to your head could possibly blow the fame right out of it. Stay humble, my friends. That's how you left. That's a fact. It's harsh, but I want to ask you that it's percent Sometimes you got to give the lesson in the harshest form, and you got to say it, like because the average hood a hood rap dude. Let's say it's

a hood rap dude who was reading that. He's young, he's crazy, he's not humble, and you some of his manager might be telling them in the way it's not getting to cross. Yeah, if you don't calm down, somebody might blow your brains. You get right across. And that's how I know you're a writer, because you ended it to stay humble. My friend. He brought it right back to the point. All Right, we got more with styles people when we come back. Matter of fact, let's get

into his new single, Heat of the Night. It is the breakfast club Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Scharlomagne the guy we all the breakfast club Styles P is here. So Stiles P. I've known you for a christ some time, and one thing people would be surprising though, is that you are very frugal and that you like me shot at the outlets all the time. I'm frugal and I'm free with it because I go

shopping places. And they were like, oh, Stas and his wife was just in here Andy, But I'm like that, that's huh. I just say she was frugal. I'm frugal. She's not frugal at all. Like you said, you like nice things though, yeah I do, but I don't mind not getting it or wait into it's on sale or just like I'm like, you know, like say, if it's something my nice, that's I like, that's really expensive and I just kind of wanted. I got to think about

it if I'm gonna get it or not. Like you know what I'm saying, I gotta really shit down and think to who. Like sometimes like I say to myself, I'm gonna be honest with you, I'm about to style on these I did that the thing. I'm about to just go to the deal and style on thence I was high. I was by myself, I said, wasn't it like style? Like I didn't know who I was talking about. I was talking about myself to it, like I didn't

really know who I was talking about. You go to the studio, studio back home, but like pulling my styling on, like you know what I mean. Like so it's like I think just being from because I was poor, like I think when you're pulling you from the hood, and I truly am. I come from God's kings and queens, so I do have that, you know. I like to look great and feel good and I was poured before.

But sometimes you got to think, like that, is that really worth it because I also live next to a bunch of millionaire I remember being the poorest dude in the building. I probably was, I had to be, And they told me I tipped the best, and I was like, well, I'm I'm bugging like, I'm like what, there's a hockey team owner, an NBA dude, dude who created the building, this and that. But then I also learned they don't care about how nobody's like. They walk around with it.

My man, he were weird the same jeans. I think he had three pit jeans, maybe three Nike wind breakers, three sneakers. And he did that day by day, week by week, week by week. Then I see yo, like, Yo, Mike, where are you going. I'm about to get on the jet. Go ahead, bring the whole thing. He was bringing his whole family on his family jet. Man, I'm spending wrong. I think we tip because you know what, we understand appreciation, because we tip because I know I tip really well too.

I think we understand the struggle. We know the people watch home right here anyway, So if I was doing that, I would want to get a good tip. And so I'm gonna give you a good tip because I understand it more. Go back and watch like your old videos and um like kind of rap yourself and be like all right, I'd be like, I'd better keep eating plants. Go back watch the old videos and be like, I got to keep eating plants. Why did I have on parachhue clothes? Like damn, they have to be parish. There

was a straight path. I looked at something the other day. I coulda fit. I coulda fit like half an army in one yo. When we look back, it's like a baggy clothing. I'm not a fan of tight things. I'm a fan of slim fit. I'm against tight jeans, like when they like I feel offended. If I go to the store and they go skinny jeans, I'd be like, I'll know slim fit. Like I'm the elder, si'na do skinny ge do slim fit? Like? You know what I mean? If I got to wiggle to get in them, I

gotta do it. That's awkward for me. I like doing I'm old, like you know what I mean. I think the new generation. That's why I say sometimes I don't knock I don't knock out, but just some things I can't do. I don't want to wiggle in the gene. I don't want to extend my arm to take a Yeah, you don't want to see me do this, imagine me doing this. I got little, that's all. Like certain things

I can't do. Like so I'm sure you go back and listen to your old music and watch those videos and think about like, okay, yeah, I mean I just one thing I appreciated is being able to be in music for that long and it's still so young, like you know what I'm saying that, and come in a game and being on bad Boy, Like we came in the game and got on bad Boy and we was from Yonkers. Like to us, that's like a story within itself.

Nobody never said yon because it was a shout in the South, and then we just took it and we came with an aggression and we still had twenty years later, well twenty something music later. Now we was having a great debate man that started on our group chat me Havain b dot Kaz and uh Rob Markman and we uh I love you bet, I don't worry about it soon and everybody thought I was dismazed, but I wasn't. I was just saying the bad boy label was so

competitive at that time. I just thought lyrically he was like the fifth six guy and I got jumped out the window. Mace was nicer than styles only let me get some clear me and much. I'm gonna tell y'all, I don't really see this too often. Listen, my two partners on my equals, we're one so with one other than that, I only feel personally besides like volkham King, who's you're rapping all that from my ever only biggest nicer than me? That's it. That's how I feel. You

entitled your feelings. Where there's an MC, I rip, I get busy. I am the MC's MC. Like you know what I'm saying, I'm the MC. The N sees love, I don't. I'm not. I'm not gonna sell a bunch of records. I'm not gonna be the popping this. I'm not the flashiest. I'm not even the best at the flashy stuff. And when it comes to street lyricism mixed with consciousness, that and Nat Lane is nobody better than me. Nobody. Because you can't really find somebody you could go Yo,

make a dope song with ty Lib. Then make a dope song with Rick Ross. Respect my lyricism. Man, you know, I don't want to ask you about always. One of the most underrated freestyles is you. It's the locks in Big on Funk MATHI Flex sixty minutes of funk Vault two over the cream instrument. Yeah, that was crazy, people. That is like an amazing free style. Did y'all do

that together? Yeah? Definitely, definitely. Wow, that was amazing. That's like an art form, this lust to a lot of people sending something the verse to each other, and it's not like people be in the studio together like that. Yeah.

I think, I think, I think, Um, it's really great when you're actually in the studio because the vibes is more, the vibes in the energy is there a little more, especially with the producing the things, so you got a little more feeling and bouncing off of energy, the competitive infintances a little more up. I think maybe that's a big reason why people aren't so competitive. They're not in the same room making everything at that time, so you

don't feel that edge. Yea like because back in the night it's like you're walking in you're saying, yeah, what's up to everybody? You cool? It's respectful, but it's almost like you can feel attention in the room. You can feel attention going to lay a clue mixtape, like you know what I'm saying. You see you see the mombing them over here, you see these rappers from over there, from broke over there, you see there, And it's more

like a Yeah, we're gonna like these joints. You're gonna like these blunts, and we are gonna get busy in it. I think that competitive. I think that's what made the nineties really like edgy, like this each other on Mumble Die, each other man, screw it, man, I need dispp man, my man styles. PG host is out right now, right now, go get it. Please. It's the Breakfast Club. Yes, some breakfast club wanting everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne

the guy. We are the breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's get to the rumors of talk Kelly. It's about Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well, I read this whole article, so you don't have to. Two more women have come forward with R Kelly's sex abuse allegations. Now this is on BuzzFeed and they have detailed their stories. One woman is named Lizette Martinez, and another woman has not been identified. Her name is just quote N and she's still there.

I guess with R Kelly now. Now, Lizette says she was approached when she was only seventeen years old by R. Kelly. She met him at Aventura Mall and he was fully aware that she was under age because the age of consent in Florida is eighteen, but he still took her virginity. Now, she said he hit on her on five different occasions. And she also now the other woman mother is speaking

out in this story. So the other woman who's not identified as her mom, that's speaking out and she's not identifying herself to protect the other children that she has. But she said being silent is not the answer. It's time, She said, I want my child home. She said she hasn't spoken to her daughter in three months and believes that she's in trouble. She said, I don't know what hold he has on her, but her last words to

me was don't ever give up on me. Wow. The thing is, I don't know if any of these women are telling the truth, but I have no reason not to believe them based on all Kelly's history. You know what I mean, yep, right, So the younger girl, the young girl, and that's still living with R. Kelly. She actually met R. Kelly and he offered her a job as his personal assistant, and her mom was very wary of it, but she told her mom, that's in his past,

that stuff. You always tell me to give people a chance, So she said, I said okay, and she became his assistant. All through that time her being his assistant, she still lived at home. But then years later she announced that she was moving to Atlanta with R. Kelly. And she was about twenty two or twenty at the time, so she couldn't really tell her. She couldn't. She was a grown up man. Flush all Kelly down the toilet, the

lead all Kelly at your inbox. Kelly is just gone, Like y'all like to cancel, y'all can't always canceling the wrong people. Cancel her Kelly, get him all that has tag mute R Kelly campaign is going on, and they have managed to get a couple of his shows canceled. But and I see people boycotting his music, like Tom joyning to say your boy cotton music. But I just want to say, Tom Joyne is retiring. Ladies and gentlemen,

all right, Tom joinings on his way out. Not to mention Tom Joyna has been playing all Kelly for the past twenty years. Don't wait to you about to retire. They get rid of all Kelly me. I don't understand the whole thing of she's twenty years or I can't do nothing about it. I'm twenty two at twenty three, he grabbed my doughter. At any age like this, there is no age. My dad will grab me right now

if you ask. You gotta find it, though, saying she locked in some dungeons something he hasn't seen her in around on her knees. You know what I'm saying with a lee Shawn. And then, really, what can you do when you leave the house to go to work or do whatever you have to do? You can't have her with you twenty four seven? So she decides to pick up and leave again. What can you do once? What

can't you do? I know a lot of parents might feel like that, but I mean, unless you have them with you, chained to you, twenty four seven, kids are gonna do what they're gonna do a problem Kelly, you got no R. Kelly's management team has released a statement. R. Kelly has close friendship with a number of women who are strong, independent, happy, well cared for, and free to come and go as they please. We deny the many dark descriptions put forth by instigators and liars who have

their own agenda for seeking profit and fame. All of the women targeted by the current media onst or legal adults of sound mind and body, with their own free will. Law enforcement officials in Atlanta Chicago previously have made wellness visits to check on the women in question and have found nothing to cause a lot. Everybody who's still supporting R. Kelly at this point, still trying to come up for all Kelly, anybody that's on this team, that y'all all

going to hell, and I don't even believe in hell. Okay, but y'all going somewhere, going somewhere right. Something ain't gonna be right in y'all life. Trying to protect that men yet, Okay. Avengers Infinity War has already made one buil million dollars. It only took eleven days for that movie to make. I didn't know why don't watch this movie? One billion dollars. That beats out the previous record by Star Wars. The Force Awakens was made it to the one billion dollar

mark in twelve days. So everybody, Infinity War, you hear that. You hear that. Everybody who thought the Marvel Cinematic Universe, all the black people who thought the Marvel Cinematic Universe just started popping because the Black Panther, and the movie still hasn't opened in China, so it's gonna make even more when that happens. I've seen Black Panther. I didn't see this one. Okay, Well, I just want y'all to know something a Kelly Dodds at the end of Infinity War. Okay,

all right, I'm a report. All right, thank you for see Shalaba who were giving that donkey two oh man, Donkey of the day to day going to a brother named Markiko Sonny Lewis. Now, this is a very prime example of why we really do need prison reform, man, actual legitimate prison reform. We'll talk about it for after the hours, all right, that happens next Keep the lock just to Breakfast Club. Good Morning's time for Donkey of

the Day being Dunky of the Day at day. Now, I've been called a lot of my twenty three years. The donkey of the day is a new wife. What's wrong with you this morning? Shut up? Let me do my job. Donkey to Day for Monday, March seventh goes to a forty year old brother named Marquiso. Sonny Lewis now Marquiko is from Cleveland. Ladies and gentlemen, and he just got out of prison. Marquiso served thirty months in prison after pleading guilty to robbing a bank in November

twenty fifteen. He was released April eleventh, but on this past Tuesday, he was indicted on a single count of bank robbery. Yes, Marquiko came home and robbed the bank again. Now I know what you're thinking, Charlemagne. That's slight. Banks get robbed every day. Be Marquiso is a career bank robber. If that's the life he chose, so be it. Okay, I would agree, But these bank robberies are like no other bank robberies you have seen before. Marquiko is very

familiar with the bank he got in for robbing. The reason Markiko is familiar with it is not because he has an account there, not because he has a relative who works there. Not because it's a bank in his town that he's been to a million times. The reason he's very familiar with this bank is because it's the exact same bank that he robbed back in twenty fifteen.

You heard me, right, Markiko Sonny Lewis was indicted on Tuesday for robbing a bank, and that bank was the same exact bank he went to prison for robbing in twenty fifteen. Now, this is why I don't care if his mid terms presidential elections, local elections. I don't care if they Democrat, Republic and Independent. If they're not talking about prison reform, then I'm not interested. Okay. If prisons are supposed to be correctional facilities, then less implement things

in prison that actually correct people. All Right, this man did thirty months in jail. He should have been able to get a higher education and learn a trade and get some spirituality in him while he was in there. And the trade he learned he should have been a should have been able to get him hired somewhere when he came home. And this is proof that prison isn't working. Okay, we need a more effective penal system, but the reality

is they have no reason to rehabilitate prison. It's because, in the words of the god Chris Rock, the money isn't in the cure, the money is in the treatment. Why would I want you to get properly rehabilitated when I have invested in a private prison and I need to fill them. Okay, it's big business, baby. I would encourage all of you that when you are voting in the mid terms of this shift, the candidate you are

voting for isn't talking about prison reformed. And maybe we don't need to talk about that candidate, okay, because if we aren't trying to reform criminals, all they're gonna do is come home, return to a life of crime, and probably harm you are someone you love. When you don't properly rehabilitate someone, stories like Marquiko happened, all right, they end up returning back to a life of crime, are returning back to the scene of the crime. Literally. Please

let me Mark give Marquiso. Sonny lewis the biggest he hall heh, heh, you stupid motherfu are you? I mean? Jesus Christ, pick another bank. Now. I kind of feel like I might be crazy, but it's a little brilliant crazy why because no one would anticipate even go back and rob the scene. It didn't work, to think it if he was just a little more careful, Because a little more care they say, lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place. It's kind of like going back and

doing the same thing, because who would anticipate. Don't listen to actually go back. People out there right now, you committed the crime before. No, please don't listen. Please, this is what I'm just saying. Ja, this is like having sex. I'm not saying you should, but I'm saying this is like having sex. Shooting the girls club up and then going down immediately and start giving her or what's wrong with that? Okay? That that is not the same? You know what? Because how do you put that together? I

don't know. I don't know why that's the same. But I don't see anything wrong. But he wouldn't have to do it like you. If he shot the club up and then he say, came back the next day and shot the club up again, I would understand. But you're gonna go no shot, you can't get a pregnant but immediately go down and start giving an oral. It's your STU immediately It's like, backwase what I'm not having this I learned too much about and it was just disgusted.

I'm unfortable now I know why cal don't e poom. This is ridiculous. All right, well, thank you for that Dog of the day. Now eight hundred five eight five one oh five one, let's talk Donald Glove. Of course, he released his video over the weekend. This is America. Let's play the record too, all right, we got the record clean. We'll play when we come back. We play what you're playing now came we got time to play?

Now I will play it now, want to We want to know what you what did you interpret from the videos? What did you interpret from the video? Eight hundred They should have put at the end of the video at the end of the video, no white people were harmed in the making of this video. All right, we'll play when we come back. We'll play when we come back. Eight hundred five eighty five one oh five one is to Breakfast Club. Good Morning. That was childish game bo

with This is America morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now we're talking about the video. He just released it over the weekend, Very powerful, went viral. We just want to know how did you interpret this video? First of all, oh, go ahead, y'all want to go, I'll start with you. Yet, what

did you think? Um? I looked at it as he was representing what America is, which is we get distracted by things like dancing, and those are the videos and things that go viral because you can see there was a part with the cell phones too, which he references also, but there's bigger things happening in this world that get brushed under the rug in the background because we're so distracted by all the entertainment that we see before us.

I took it as that as well. I took it as he was being quote unquote America, and you know, with the choir singing and then being so joyful and so soulful and so happy, and then it was also representative Charleston, South Carolina shooting in the church right shooting the choir. It made it seem like he was America representing the shooting of America. And also I took it the same way as you did, as far as you know, we're so distracted from the dancing and everything that's going on.

We forget about the big problems, and I think that was the whole concept of him running from the problems at the end. And also with the guns being treated better than the people. They make sure they put a special cloth for the gun, and someone comes and whistle away. We care more about guns and h and gun laws and people being able to have guns than we do about the people that are getting killed. Yeah, I mean, I listen. I don't think either one of 'all are wrong.

I thought visually it was great. It reminded me of that old X to the Z video. What you see is what you get. But when I first saw the video, it did not make me feel good. You know. I think he should have had a white man shooting all the black people who are enjoying themselves having a good time. I didn't like the optics of him as a black

man doing it. It felt like he was reinforcing the negative stereotype of black men being violent in the narrative of black on black crime, especially if you're saying this is America over and over, like, let's show some balance, because no black people shooting down church folks with in AK forty seven. All Right, the mass shooting problem is largely white men with the AK forty seven. So show me the whole totality of America. And I definitely didn't

like him shooting down all the black people. But at the end, running from all the white people, let that chopper sing on Vanilla Iceis one time, and you know, I kind of thought the point of it being him was that he was the person that was entertaining because it was his song. So I guess he was carrying out all the different acts. I just don't think that most of America is smart enough to get that, especially white America, because we as black people, we can look

at the deeper meaning. But if you're a white and you're watching that video, oh you see, it's a bunch of n words shooting a bunch of That's that's what it does look like from outside. Because when I first seen it, and I didn't hear the music, and I seen it on this I was like, what the hell is he doing? Exactly, But let's go to the phone lines. Now, let this this guy talk Hello, Hi, how are you hey? Mama? Now?

Now how did you interpret the video? Now, First of all, I gotta say I had to watch that video a million times because it is so intriguing and it's so mesmerizing and he's just so artistic and just like, you know, blowing my mind. And when I saw the video for me,

it just stated that exactly what's going on. It's just like all these serious things are going on in America, people dying, you know what I mean, And but yet we're focusing on, you know, the wrong things, you know, like how he's dancing, and it's just like all this killing and everything is happening, but nobody is really putting focus on that. But we're worried about like you know, the latest dances and all this kind of stuff where it's just so entertained by his dancing too. While you

were watching it, like okay, let just gat being a gug. Yes, Like not only did he dance, he killed it. He was bitch now could do? I was like, you, look, you ain't gotta have a six pack to take your shirt off anymore? Hello? Who's this? What? Damn? Sorry? Hello? What did you? How did you interpret the video? Okay? I love Donald Blobber, I love Childish Gambino, but that video disturbed me, especially when he gunned down the choir.

I wasn't expecting that. I love his art and everything, but he seemed so much black pain in real life that I don't really want to see it in my music videos and my entertainment. I mean, I agree with you, I just wish you would have had a white, a white man shoot down the choir, because ain't no black people going up in a church in ne ak forty seven that is a white The matth hutons is being

done by whiteople wouldn't make it forty seven exactly. And agree with you, Charlotta Magne, because I nearly thought a dealer roof. But guess what. I also looked at the comments underneath that YouTube video, and a lot of white people are taking it as black on black violin. That's what I'm telling you. I see what I first, the same thing I'm telling you. White people aren't gonna see the deeper meaning. White people are gonna see it, and all they're gonna see is the narrative of black on

black crime. That like that. They might see it and choose not to, but that's exactly know what it's supposed to. When I first seen it, it was on Instagram. It was a snippet and I didn't hear the music, and I'm watching, I'm like, why would he shoot another? And then I had to they know what it's supposed to me. But see my problem is why it's supposed to me? And why not give it to him? Playing? And in sight? Why not let a white person gun down the choiet?

Like I don't understand and didn't run it from the white people at the end, like what we protect them? What you're afraid of? Eight hundred five A five one oh five one? How did you interpret the video? Call us? Now? It's the Breakfast Club? Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela yee. Charlomagne the guy we all the breakfast club? Now if he just joined us with talking Donald gloves new video, this is America? And how did you interpret

the video? That's what we're asking. Hello, who's this surch? Hey, sarge? How did you interpret the video? Bro? I took it as the same way on AMERC sees a marcut so pretty much the government sees us calling people on my nerd and got me more than this a profit margin? So what's the point this wipe us all out? To camp Um, explain a little bit more please. It's pretty much like the beginning of the video. He's gentlemen sits

off us playing old Crystal video. She tells the black guy and then from there she comes up shooting buying head. That's a pretty much everyone to hire physics par want to do to us, wipe us off and then make sure they don't have the perfect society that they dream of, pretty much. And I raised perfect world. Only one shade mm it was Donald Trump doing the bidding of the white man. And that's why at the end of the video of the white man was chasing him down because

he was the last left a call. Hello. He's supposed to be Kanye West? What hello? You know what? The first time I see the video, I thought that was Kanye got shot the first one because I can't hear why. I don't know, Hello some morning. Can you guys hear me? Yeah, it's a little breezy excited. I am so excited, I'm about to break my car. Oh my goodness. Okay, I honestly believe that, you know, after everything that Kanye said this past week, that y'll just gonna being out is

the rapper that we should be rooting for. I mean, watching the video, I was so proud and it was lit, just like the dancing everything. Um, it was just a lit video in a video that I feel like we could be proud of. Um when he gunned down the first guy and then shot the entire black choir and nothing happened to him after that, you know that Really that really spoke to me, you know. And until he lit up that blunt, that's when people wanted to start

tracing him, you know. And that really resonated with me, you know, because people do all kinds of crazy stuff, you know, but when they want to smoke a little weed or do a little bit of this or a little bit of that, you know, nothing happens, especially for white people. And listen, I liked the video too, but I don't I don't know if you want to hold up child a Gambino is a black beacon of hope just yet? Why not? Because he has a definitely has

a white woman. That's that's really definitely has a white woman. And don't forget it, and don't forget about that poem he wrote a few years ago, say and he wish he was white. Now come on, now, everybody slowed down, breaks, Hey, you're absolutely right, Charlotte Man. But still after everything that Kanye play, after, I was a defending that I had to, you know, defend my people in my place of work and every you know, everywhere else. This past week, you know,

I get to go back and show this video. The video was wet, you know, and I'm actually proud of it is something that I could be proud of. Don't you go. Don't you going in and show the white people in a video of a black man killing a bunch of black people, don't you that's for us? Thank you? Mama? Stop? Hello, who's this Hi? My name is Kelly. I'm from Indiana. Hey, Kelly from Indiana. How did you interpret the video? Um? When I was watching the video, how to watch it

several times? Because I guess understand when you was talking about, But in me personally, when I first watched the video, I was just focusing on him dancing and not what was going on in the background exactly watching her rewatch it, and that's when to me, that was a message that we get easily distracted by pop culture to the important messages.

What's really funny is I was talking to my mom the other day about this actual issue about the Kanye situation, and everyone's talking about Kanye, but people aren't paying that. Trump is still getting insvestigated. What's going on in Puerto Rico. We just told forgot about them. Wagged the Dog. That's why I love Donald Glover's skit on S ANDL. The Kanye place that was that was genius. That was very genius.

And the other thing too that people that are tweeting this morning that I noticed in the background but the pale white horse that everybody should go read that book Behold, but the pale horse in the background followed by the police card that was that was That was dope symbolism. Whatever the hell I'm trying to say. And then you see even the part with the kids are on their cell phones and he says, that's the celly that part because you know how they've been mistaking cell phones for guns.

Oh yeah, listen man. Like I said, I thought it was visually great. I just wish you would have had a white man shooting all the black people, especially in the choir, you know, because you know, I didn't like the optics of him as a black man doing it. I just feel like he was reinforcing the negative stereotype of black men being violent in the narrative of black on black crime. And we all know that no black

people shooting down church folks within AK forty seven. The mass shooting problem is largely white men with the AK forty seven. So I just wish you would have showed me the whole totality of America. And I definitely didn't like him shooting down all the black people and then running from a marvel white people. Okay, let that choppol fly on Vanilla isis one time. We'll check out the video if you haven't seen it. Video interesting, a bunch

of different jewels, very provocative. Now you've got rumors on the way old moral of the story. I thought you did the whole moral story. I wasn't the moral No, art is completely subjective, Okay. It's up to the view of the judge whether or not it has merit and to interpret it how you want to exactly different things. And that's why I think it's a great piece of art. All right. Now we are about to talk about Jada

Pinkett Smith. She has a new show coming and she's going to be talking to Will Smith's ex wife, amongst some other people. One woman who she had beef with and we didn't even know it for years. All right, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keeping lock this to Breakfast Club. Good Morning's. This is the rumor report on the Breakfast Club. Well, today is a day. Jada Pickets has her new show coming out. It's going to be on Facebook Watch. It's an original show which

Is I take terrifying steps towards my personal freedom through experiences and discussions with my mother and daughter. Now, she talks to Will Smith's first wife, Shari Fletcher, and here's what they said. My entry point to motherhood was

You said it's my house now, So I want you to know. Will Smith let me have it. But they always been good though I think I heard Will say she was by the house. They do family bo I don't know about always. If you listen to what they had to say,

they weren't always good. I'm very interested in watching this show simply because i want to see how a talk show works on a platform like Facebook. And not to mention, I'm a pinker. Smith Winfrey knows carters, so you know I'm all in well, she said. I came to Facebook watch because the discussions and process can continue even after

the airing of an episode. So it's every Wednesday, she said, after the Monday airings of Red Table Talk, I'll be having Facebook live conversations where we can engage in the process of growth together in real time. Now. In addition, she also squashes some beef that she had with Gabrielle Union, who even knew this beef was happening. Here's what she

had to say. I have a really touching episode with Gabrielle Union where we have kind of a we haven't really been on the best of terms for seventeen years, and we have a reconciliation. We couldn't even remember why. I just want everybody out there to know that if you're a beefing with somebody, and nobody knows y'all beefing, it's not really beef right for seventeen years, you can keep that dc personal problem that y'all two have amongst

each other. Y'all are really private for not letting anyone else all right now, Geeazy has broken his silence over recently getting arrested. He posted grateful and blessed to be free and safe.

He got into a physical altercation. That's usually what cocaine leads you to do, all right. Chloe Kardashian looks like her and Tristan Thompson are back together again. They were spotted out to eat together and

according to close friends, and US Weekly. They said that they are fully back together and she's a lot less upset about what he did to her than everyone else's. Chloe feels like the world is against Tristan. No one in the world is supporting Tristan, and she's still in love with him. Well, the truth to the matter is, you know, what's the girl name? Chloe? They got another season to shoot. Okay, I can't let you go just yet. I gotta get some camera toime audio. She was at
