work week, man, And let me tell you something. If you um, even if your team wasn't playing this weekend, which which which mine certainly wasn't, the Dallas Cowboys wasn't. But we're not even talking about y'allah. We're never even thought about playing. Okay, but we were in the playoffs. Okay, but a little bit. You gotta say this was a little bit right, This was This was one of the greatest. It was NFL playoff weekends. Oh man, I've ever witnessed
in my forty three years of existence. Yes, I mean, my god. Every single game was to the Hawaiire. You didn't know what was gonna happen at the end. Like this is why the NFL is the greatest, the greatest sport on dad was It was a great weekend for games. Shout out everybody in North Carolina. I was out in
North Carolina. I was in stats on Saturday, and then Sunday I was watching the game at Cloud and man, could I could just tell you that that it's it's I mean, I love watching the game at the crib, but when you watch it somewhere else and people are chairing and they're going back and forth. It was a great weekend for football, man, And it's the best one.
It's your team playing. But you know it wasn't my team player though, But I was acting like it though, because I mean, if you was a Rams fan, you had to love the ending, right, Yeah, I mean even if even in defeat, just watching, I don't even want to call Tom Brady live stock no more. Stop disrespecting Tom Brady by calling him live. Stop calling him He's Jesus. I think Jesus came back as a quarterback. Just being honest, there's being honest. I think Jesus came back as a quarterback.
But the Chief Bills game last night, oh my god, man, Like, it was just a great weekend of football if you're a football fan, absolutely, and if you've been on sports, if you've been on sports. I actually was in Chicago all weekend and it snowed really heavy there. I was wondering if I would be able to make it back, but fortunately I made it back. I did happen to be in the bar in my hotel while the game
was on the forty nine versus the Packers. A lot of people bet on the game, so it might not necessarily be their team playing, but they rely on a lot of seeing this person's gonna make a touchdown, who's gonna win, you know? So I was watching everybody panicking over their bets. But I was in the sports bar. Yeah, don't practice game was incredible too. Yeah, that was an incredible game. Low scoring game, but you know, just just a nail biden to the end of just a great
weekend of football. Man. A shout to you know, I ran into this weekend, Alan Obinson yet in Charlotte, Man, we were actually all watching the game. Man. Shout to Ai. Man, it's good to see that brother, like I know him a long time when I went to Hampton University. Of course, he's from the seven five seven and just always a great brother. To shout to Alan Ovison Man, great, great, great great dropping a clues box for Ai. My favorite player when it comes to NBA, My favorite player. All right.

They have a new group called Wreckage Manner and the albums out today, so og New York too,
So we're gonna kick it with both of them. In a little bit right now, we got front page news. What were talking about? Easy, Yes, let's talk about Florida. They passed a bill which aims to band discussions of sexual orientation and gender identity in schools. All right, we'll get into that next. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy angela ye, Charlemagne the guy. We are to breakfast club. Let's getting some front page news now.
L football, the Bengals beat the Titans on Saturday, and also the forty nine is beat the Package thirteen ten. And yesterday the Chiefs beat the Bills thirty six, forty two thirty six, and the Rams beat the Buccaneers thirty twenty seven. Now next week they play on Sunday. The Bengals take on the Chiefs. Forty nine Is take on the ram Boy next weekend. Got a lot to live up to, because this weekend was a hell of a weekend. This weekend set a different type of ball for the
NFL playoffs. Sure did what else? We got? Easy? All right? Well, in Florida, the House Committee has passed the bill which aims to band discussions of sexual orientation and also gender identity in schools. If this passes, they would bar educated from talking about LGBTQ plus topics that they say are not quote age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students. They've
also introduced an identical bill in Florida's States Senate. But you know, according to a recent report from the Trevor Project, they're saying that LGBTQ plus youth who learned about issues in school had twenty three percent lower odds of reporting a suicide attempt in the last year than those who did not. So they're calling this the Parental Rights and Education Bill, also known as that Don't Say Gay Bill. I'm wondering what the class is about, though, Like, what
are they teaching these classes? Well, no, they don't want you to even discuss this in classes. They're saying if it's not age appropriate to not talk about any of these topics, and they're saying it's not quote age appropriate. So I imagine if you're an LGBTQ plus youth and you just don't exist basically, I don't I don't know if that's the case. I'm just wondering if that, you know, needs to be discussed in school, because in my sexual orientation,
anybody's business. I feel like that would cause more confusion and conflict than anything with kids arguing and debating. It doesn't have to be your personally, but there are issues that can be discussed in school. It's something that you're gonna have to deal with in real life, especially if there's LGBTQ plus youth in the school. So yeah, they said, and they've done studies this show that if you don't learn about those issues, it does increase the risk of
attempting suicide. Yeah. If anything, I think they should have classes that teach people how to be tolerant of each other in their and their differences, letting you know that you know, there are people out there that you know may not identify as sexually as you do. But that's cool, that's fine. If anything, I don't know. I just want to know. I don't want to know what the discussion would be about, Like, what would they be discussing, is
what I would I would want to know. I mean, there's people in history who've identified as LGBTQ plus, So you can't you know, you wouldn't be able to discuss that. You wouldn't even be able to bring it up. Well, I'm able to say gay because that would be what
this bill would mean. Yeah, but I can still discuss what I could still discuss what they did is because you know, the reason I say that, because when you're talking about the heterosexual person and you talk about what they did in history, you don't say, oh, this person was heterosexual and you know they discovered America. You don't
discuss it like that. Well, I just I think that because statistics show that these kids do exist in schools, and because it does show that if these issues are discussed, it could help children feel more comfortable, especially if that's how they identify. And this is the real world. You cannot said they should have classes that teach people how to be tolerant of each other in their differences period, like that's race, you know, sexuality, gender, everything? What what
what grade level? Will you say? What did you say? Um, they're talking about middle school students and higher they're saying it's not age appropriate. Now they can pass that bill. I mean medical middle school students. I mean kids have so many questions. I mean if I was at middle school and I wasn't familiar with something or didn't know something, wouldn't you ask discussing in school? When you ask I mean it depends. Well, that is your front page news, all right. And I want to send a rest in
peace to police officer Jason Rivera. He was murdered in a line of duty in New York. I think all this on Friday, Thursday or Friday. He was only twenty two years. Oh, that was hard right in Harlem. And also, uh, you know Wilbert Mora, his partner is still in critical condition. He was also shot in Harlem. So I just want to say rest in peace to Jason Rivera and condolences to his family. A very sad situation, very very sad. All right. Now get it off your chest. Eight hundred

We want to hear from you on the breakfast blas Hello, take guys to sound a Vahsian therapist. Get it off your chance, Mamma. I do want to talk about Regina King and her son
to a side. Yeah, it was very awful. And I know people say you have to check up on your you know, friends and strong friends, but the reality is, if someone wants to do that, they're going to hide it from you. The thing I think the best thing to do is to just normalize going to therapy. You're going to the emergency room. I really so like you're unsafe. People like to talk about rags to riches, but they
never talked about like, you know, struggling with depression. And I think the more we normalize talking about depression and feeling sad and you know, checking yourself into the psych unit, then people will feel okay to talk about it. Yeah. The only way to eradicate the stigma is for everybody to tell a story. And you got to create safe spaces for people to comfortable to tell that. The Black Effect needs a podcast with like mental health professionals, like
a panel we do health professionals. Well we got we got mental health and mindfulness. You know, we got deVie brown Um with dropping gym. There's so much information that like mean as a professional can tell other people that people don't know they can come to the emergency really met there thinking about killing themselves or even if they want a referral for a therapist that's free or low cost.

Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Warning, everybody is DJ Endry, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rooms. Let's talk with Gina King. It's about Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well, our condolences go out to Regina King
and her family. Her son, Ian Alexander Junior has died by suicide. She did release a statement to people saying, our family is devastated at the deepest level by the loss of Ian. He is such a bright light who cared so deeply about the happiness of others. Our family asked for a respectful consideration during this private time. Thank you. He just twenty six on Wednesday, and he was her only child as well, right, sending their family healing energy.
We were just having this conversation on the air Friday, you know what I mean, when we were talking about the Kevin Gates situation. And that's why you just got to be kind of people because you never know what somebody's you know, going through internally. So they're sending Regina King and her family healing energy for show. And people were looking at his social media to see where his headspace was at before that. One of the things that he tweeted just a few days ago, I don't think
Instagram is healthy for me. And he also tweeted, you know that episode of SpongeBob where they go inside his brain and it's a bunch of many Spongebobs just losing their issue. Yeah, that one really hits home. Yeah, And that was just five days before he passed. One of people was talking to anybody when if he was sitting down with a therapist or a psychiatrist or anybody. But we will respect the family and give them their privacy and also give our condolences because that has to be
the most hurtful thing that could happen. Absolutely all right, now, Girls Tip two is happening, according to Will Packer. He confirmed that news on Good Morning America. The original one came out in twenty seventeen, and here's what he had to say. The Girls Trip to Sequel. We are underway. We are absolutely in the stages. The ladies are in I just talked to the director. We are underway with Girls Trip too. And now it's just about what kind of trip do we take right post pandemic with all
our favorite crazy ladies. What do we do with them? That's what we gotta figure out? All right? Where would you want to go? Whe would you want to see them? We've seen island. You got to go to an island somewhere. I thought that was I thought that was the plan. That's in first South Africa, somewhere like that. I thought it was supposed to be on the Motherland. Spoiler alert, spoiler. We talked about that when Will was up here. We remember when Will was up here, we were talking about
where should they go for part two? I don't remember. Well, now he's saying he doesn't know what type of trip do we take? So they said post pandemic, So maybe that was termed. I don't know. He's not confirming that as if now things might have changed. Who knows. You gotta go somewhere vacated. You gotta be vacinated wherever you go, right. Another part two is Payden full Damon Dasted confirmed to
all hip hop that that is happening. Oh, I'm finished editing that day, editing that month for three months straight. The editor lives with me right now, We're finished the day I might might you know, I think I'm gonna take it on a theatrical run. We developed a curriculum around it as well for schools, so I want to show it in schools. Entrepreneur, there's a lot of lessons in the movies, So whatever lessons are in the movie,
I want you to get those lessons. I want you to look at my movies and learn how to be a millionaire. If you're not already when he says editor, he means writing right, they're writing it. No, it means
already know they were shooting. It's caming it. Cam died, Well, no, Cam Cam would be old in the movie now, all right, but one of the movie based on a real story yeah, but I mean the story outpoll just got killed a couple of what a couple of months ago, some show would have to be the whole thing towards that, right, he said, it's what happens after they put all that work on the street and somebody had to get that
money back. All right, now? Did he Apparently one of the role of Bishop and Juice, that's the role that Tupoc played. And according to Ralph McDaniels, you know he was one of the producers on Juice. Uh, they said absolutely not. Here he is tucking the fat Joe and he said, Ralph, you're working on Juice. I want to be Bishop. And I was like, but we got somebody to be Bishop, a red That's the only one that's casting is Tupop And he was like, nah, I'm from Harlem. Ralph,
just think about it. And I remember going to the producer and just say, just feeling out, just let me get the temperature on it. And he was like, absolutely not, absolutely not. We already got Pop. That's the only person we have. And Puff just got fired from from Unfinished Business. That was the name of the movie, Unfinished Business. And we know him. He can't he can't come on this set. So I was like, all right, crime, that was a big call. They made the right decision and God don't
make mistakes. Pocket was the person for that role. Can't see nobody else doing that role. Juice is Juice is such a great movie, especially when you go back and watch it now, you know you can. You can see Bishop and his father both struggled with, you know, mental health issues, and his pops was dealing with the trauma of you know, being sexually assaulted in prison, and you know, you know, the alternate ending of Juice, Poc actually committed
two side. He let his hand go. He's like, he told Q, I'm not going back to jail, and he let his hand go because he was traumatized by what he saw his dad go through in jail. Well, speaking of tupockets, a new two pocket exhibit Wake Me When I'm Free, and it's actually open now. You can take a virtual tour of this also by the way of Wake Me when I'm Free. It's an interactive exhibit. It opened Friday in LA It's a limited run and so if you want to check that out, you can. Oh,
I saw that this weekend. That's everybody was posing in front of like this Doug life airdrop, airbrush backdrop. I wonder what that was. Yeah, it explores two Pack's time in the studio, the works that he produced, the controversy they courted, They said, the true intention is to pale back the layers on his early life and its revolutionary roots. So you'll be able to see that if you can make it to La while that's there, But you can
also virtually do a tour. That's that whole story seems sold mythical, like that whole nineties hip Hoppies Coast West Coast thing. But then we got so many people who actually lived through that who are still here right now, but it just seems so mythic. All right, Well I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor reports. All right, now we got front page. It was next we were talking about. All right, the Arizona Democratic Party's Executive Committee
has formally censured Senator Kirsten Cinema. Will tell you what that means for her. All right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, So Breakfast Club, your mornings will never be the same. Our audible pick of the day is the perfect day to boss up. This is Rick Ross's guide to building your own empire. Now listen up your first dirty days of Audible or free when you sign up at audible dot com. Sa dj mvy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast Club.
Let's getting some front page news now. Over the weekend, the Bengals beat the Titans forty nine to beat the Package, the Chiefs beat the Bills, and the Rams beat the Buccaneers. Listen, man, whether your team was playing or not this weekend, you have to say this is one of the greatest great game weekends in NFL football that we've ever seen in our lives. Absolutely every game was amazing. Every game. And shout everybody in North Carolina. I was at Stats and
cloud out there two black owned restaurants. If you're in the area, go definitely check them out. I was watching again. We had such a great time in there, man, So shout out everybody in North Carolina. And what else you got? Easy? All right? Well? Senator Kursten Cinema has formerly been censured by the Arizona Democratic Party, and that's as a result of her inaction on changing the Fellowbuster rules to pass voting rights reform. So here is what Kurston Cinema had
to say about voting rights. While I continue to support these bills, I will not support separate actions that worsen the underlying disease of division infecting our country. All right, Now that she's refused to change the filibuster rules alongside Mansion, and she said it with Republicans on that. Now the party, the Arizona Democratic Party, has promised to give her a vote of no confidence if she doesn't change her stance.
They said this should not be a partisan issue. The duty to protect our most fundamental rights to vote is one that we all share. So now a lot of people who supported her are saying they will not support her if she does not support a path forward for the passage of this legislation. Emily's List was one of the main organizations that endorsed her, and they said they will not endorse her again if she does not change
her position. There's a coalition of groups made up by Democrats in that state and they are asking for acting on that issue. So there's those activists have also written to other big political donor groups, including the Human Rights Campaign that focuses on LGBTQ plus issues and looking to find and fund a primary challenger. They've already raised almost half a million dollars for that. They have not singled out a candidate. But some Democrats are lobbying for a
representative Ruben and Gallego to challenge Cinema. And they actually have a run Ruben and run campaign going on. And that's incredible. I saw Bernie Sanders all weekend on Mansion and Cinemas asked saying they need to pick a side, and he's right. You know, Donald Trump and the GOP don't play. That is easy to get down, to lay down. Democrats got to do the same. And you know who else need to flex? President Biden needs to flex on
him too. He should use his influence to prevent the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee from helping fund their twenty twenty four campaigns. Okay, no money, and Biden may have to publicly support no, no, may have He should publicly support those primary challenges against him. He absolutely should know. We talked about the same thing over and over and over again, though, well we should. This is our country. What you want to keep talking like nothing changes? Talk about the same issue.
We should, It doesn't always happen. It doesn't always happen. Change doesn't always happen. And here is what Joe Biden has to say about voting. I hope you can get this stuff. Yeah. For god, answer is I don't know where they're gonna get this stuff. But one thing for certain, like every other major civil rights builder came along, if we missed the first time, we can come back and try the second time. Hope is not a strategy. Wow, Okay, hope, it's not a strategy. A strategy, all right, you're the
president once again. President Biden needs to flex on Mansion in cinema and he should use his influence, you know, to cut the money off, prevent the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee from funding their campaigns in twenty twenty four, and Biden should publicly support a primary challenge against them. Get down to lay down? Okay, what would Trump do? What would the GOP two in this situation? All right? Is
he to get down to lay out? We're talking about voting, the cornerstone of democracy about it's a lot of yes talking about voting. It's a lot of things they should be they can be debate on. And you know, man mansion and cinema, whole of progress on a lot of different things. For Policing Act Bill back better, but damn voting rights. Voting we still have like can't we can't
remove the feel about voting right. But that's why this is the perfect time to strategize, organize and support a candidate who believes in what you believe in and have them run against and take that I've been saying that, You've been saying that, Yeah, this is I mean, that's why people strategize and put their money behind certain candidates, all right. Now, One woman, Laura Spears of Oakland County, Michigan, found a three million dollar lottery prize and it was
in her spam. So she was looking through something in her spam and it turns out that she actually had that lottery prize ticket. She imagined she was looking for something else and she would never have seen that if she didn't check her spam folder. So she did log on to her lottery account after that and confirmed that she did win that three million dollars. I get a
bunch of thold, I'll just be thinking it's spam. I'm looking at a bunch of them, right, And they played did you play well, they send you an email when you win the lottery.

Now, when we come back, Jim Jones will be joining us. We're gonna kick it with Jimmy got a new uh out. I guess we call a mixtape album with DJ Project with DJ Drama Gangster Grills. So yeah, so we're gonna kick it were when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. The Morning, the Breakfast Club, The Breakfast Club. Your morning's
will never be the same morning. Everybody's d ch Envy Angela, Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest of the building, Jim Jones. What's up? Mixtape out right now against the Grills right now, set the trends, DJA Drama. Jim Jones, that's the drama. Well, what memories did this against the Grills bring back for you, man? Because you know, dip set dominated the mixtape circuit and this definitely has that that that feeling, especially with dramas.
What memories did it bring back? Memories? Um, I don't know if it bringing back memories, but I just feel to bring back that feeling that week we were we were eager to head when we was coming up a drama mixtape was you know what I mean, especially when the Jez Drama mix tapes and the Wheezy Drama mixtapes and and I got a chance to do one. So we just wanted to give this generation a little bit of what we used to look forward to when it was dropping by putting some of the dopest music on
these mixtapes. So I was just trying to catch that feeling back a little bit. For two thousand and six, I mean it was a blur. I don't really try to you know, when you'll feeling like the dip set Volume one, That's what I was talking about. That's different than the mixtapes. We broke ground with that. We started something new out here when we would create whole mixtapes with original music. They were actually albums back then, um, but we didn't know how to skip the labels and
put them out as fast as we wanted to. But those were the perfect tools that we were used to market and promote the albums that were coming out. But we've seen people make millions off of the mixtapes in the streets. That was back then. My man Browsie should do like one hundred thousand dollars in two days off a dip set mixtapes right on a hund forty fifty when it was ten dollars of mixtape. They were through them. Yea. I never used to run down on like the bootlegs
or nothing. Well early in the days, or you would run down with some bootlegs. We kicked over a few tables, running a few stores. Regular. Yeah. The last time you're up here, we were talking about your era. We were saying that we were surprised that no label has hired you as an an R or an executive. Not yet still not yet, hello, still not yet, still not yet. But I took it paul myself to start working in my own favor, and that's what I did with the
Gangster Grills. I started. I put some of the dopest up and coming talent that have buzz or should have a buzz on this project, and I kind of just was featured on the whole project, like eighty percent of the project. Let everybody lead the way, pick their own energy. That's like you see on Amigos record. That was take off, like put up a beat, like now I loaded that up, let me go, let me get busy. He just went
crazy on the record. I just had to. I just had to follow the flow, you know what I mean. So that was just you showing people, Look, man, I got the best day out here. Let me show y'all, yeah, like next, yeah, exactly. And I put a lot of up and coming New York artists on there. But we got we kind of encompassed every sound of music, every sign of rap music that's in the game right now, from West Coast music to Midwest music, self music, of course New York music. We got some of the illest people.
We got Ice Web Vessel and Paz from Detroit that we got filthy Rich from the West Coast. Um, we got the Ross Swist, Connie diamonds Op, Dusty low King did a dice Pace Keen Street Yellow tape, Pap Chanel she from Atlanta. But that's just so much young artists. And I always wanted to do a project like this but didn't know how to kind of get it in. Pace was like, yo, I think it's sound for you to do a drama. You got drama number. You should
hit him and see people. I hit drama immediately. When he said that, it made all the sense of John
was like running. It's like, I hate so you gotta record with your your workout crew, Jim Jones fitlet shout out to the guys with you in a couple of days though, now ain'tle fran I got received, I received, I received my phone, I forgot I forgot the post one and then writing when I leave here, I'm gonna go meet him at the gym and so sometimes fashionably late, but he definitely wants to do He shows up and gets his working and things like that. So that's that's
that's all I can ask. I'm hyped. Actually, UM we started fitting Fitlet. It's a fitness initiative with UM. We're gonna give you a different experience in the gym. I owner gym in New Jersey, Iron Range Fitness, So we're about to get a little renovation, but it's called Fitlet.
We're gonna change your experience to come into the gym and feeling like you're working out, to come into gym and feel like you just went to a party and all things and so envy if we I don't know how much you charge the book, but we might have to come and book you to do the DJ. You're gonna have holes, We're gonna have a lot of performances. Your your bottle or water might have sparkles on it.
We're gonna give you a feeling you know what I mean like, So we're gonna change the perception of what it is to feel like to come to a gym. Boot camp, classes, spin classes. We got all all the pull up balls, so we do a callisteadic class for all the guys. I like to do pull ups. Let's start to do it once a week. So right now, I got the guys on an eight week program, or we got ourselves on eight We programmed just to get
them acclimated Maine and them reacclimated to the gym. Davies is young, so you know, I'm kind of let him do what you did. It's different. He don't he don't he don't understand what it takes to wake up. But it's good though. Everybody's an adamant about what we're doing. So we're about to bring something new to the game. Pies for that record is Betty White? Why is that? Is it? Um? The day that Betty White had passes the same day Chrissy's white Porsche had got delivered, and
we was named the Betty White. So that's how I started my rum off. So it was like we was gonna name it Betty White. They was like put fit lit the front to push our initiative and Yoka garage word the same thing with this one about to be stuck in the garage like I don't understand. But when she rises and she it Now I was gonna ask you your engineer, something happened with your engineer and you had to give him CPR. Oh my um photographer, my man flee? What happened with that Miami cooling out? And
I don't know. Man just turned around and to my stream my name, my man Fleet was not doing too good. He wasn't responding, he was past, he was in coherent. Everybody knew you knew CPR because I know. But yo, Bro, Joe Bro. For the life of me, I don't know why. That's what I keep saying that. I was like, that's why I'd be like, it's a God, because the only guy to be that gotta happen in that sequence for God to put his hands on me and I put
my hands on him. Because they didn't run to the ambulance none of so they called the ambulance after they called me, and I was like, call ambulance, like what what are we doing here? Like yo, but God, bless, something happened that I jumped into action, dig like, when did you learn a CPR? Like when I was like twelve for my sister. She has a real heart, a real heart disease, a real heart condition, not of these, a real heart condition that she has. She was baby.
She was a miracle baby. They didn't expect it to last at all. Since birth. She studied some years old. Now she's my miracol woman and my superwoman. So my whole family had to learn CPR just in case when she got home, if anything happened, we behave it to help out at the things like that and out. Hey, so you use it before before this. No, I just got trained to use it in case Twelvember twelve. It wasn't Isn't it really not that hard? Like I was
telling him like it was. It was. It's like and it's like riding the bike is real simple once you know. It's not like rocking science. No, I didn't have to give him mouth to mouth or cessitation listen to see. I already I thought he was gonna comes get that out there early everything yo, no mouth involved, Oh yo, I think he might have. He might have not made it if I had to give him man diving day that it would be the most harmless, so you just let him die. Yo, man, I didn't do mouth the
mouth God, bless God. We could joke about this man definitely. But I encourage everybody go CPRS a quick cause. I think it's a couple of hours to get you certified and it's something to stick with you for life. You never know where you might be at where you can letting the health of hand. All right, we got more with Jim Jones when we come back. Let's get into a single. We set the trans Jim Jones. Everybody a c j Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne the guy we are
the breakfast club. We're still kicking it with the homie Jim Jones. Charlomagne. Why do you think the younger generation moved away from the NYC sound. I don't know. It's a couple of variables with that. Um. Maybe if our generation was a little bit more adapting to the younger generation, it wouldn't be so much of a separation. Their separation was a bit of a rebellion also, you heard because they're a bunch of badasses, and we were a bunch
of badasses also. But we ain't we weren't necessary looking back to cater to the youth that was coming behind us. And now a lot of these old heads be mad at them, and god, no, it's not it's not none of that's it's twenty twenty two. You heard, adapt Get with it, or you're gonna get lost in the sauce looking like an old head bogger, you heard. And I'm
not with that. So I feel like the sounds changed because these kids start adapting to what they liked the most energy, and where the energy was going was to the south and to these different sounds into the drill, and these kids is outside and the chief Keith and who was young, and and then you just start to make sense. But wherever it came from, I'm not mad at it. Well, y'all touched it early too, though, exactly. Yeah, we would always into different sounds. You always into different sounds,
you know what I mean. That was how dip set kind of gotta universe her name because we mixed with everybody around the country when it came to the music. But this sound now is just deliberate from New York, like they put a little bit of a drill. But now it's kind of expanding as you're seeing them starting to mix the drill with actually rap beats and so it's it's I love it. New York didn't need it a new sound to kind of get us off our feet.
And with this sound that we have now, with the youngsters leading the way, we're kind of getting our name back a little bit in these streets on these radio waves. Like before you wouldn't hear no music down South, like maybe a pop smoking all the way up fat Jill like whoever had their but it's not too many. Now you start to hear that New York sound and these clubs damn South, that drill sound, and these clubs damn so like you see it on the ground from like
so you gotta tip the hat to these junks. They figured out how to get us back in the game. Can it ever be back? Though? If if it's drill, because drill is a thing, I mean, I don't think it's a necessary It is a Chicago thing to Chicago, but we kind of cointed and put our own spin on the whizz. Now a New York drill thing, and there you're not taking none away from Chicago. They gave us the inspiration that We needed to kind of get our own sound in the midst of what they did.
And now it's translating into numbers. Kids are getting rich, signed a million dollars deals off from New York, which wasn't happening a few years ago. You just drive all the labels his head and it was not signing no artists from New York. None of the radio stations were playing no artist from New York. The countdowns didn't have no artists from New York on it, You know what I mean. Now all accountdowns got some artists from New York on it, like, and it feels good because I'd
be watching the radio like and listen to you. So I'm happy for where we are now. It doesn't take away from the bars. As you see. You still have that authentic feeling music on a gangster grill, even though I got all the youngsters on it, Like New York is New York. You can't take that New York sound nowhere like you did. If we make a record, you can make a record from New York me fabing in
New York. That record is gonna mean something. We're gonna be able to perform that record anywhere in New York and New York has his own sound. You gotta get hit with it. But now we've got a little bit more commercial with the drill and it's bringing it back to some money for us. So I encourage the kids
to keep digging. So when you tell these young artists, man, especially when it comes to the streets, because these a little be wilding out here, seem even making an investment in them, it's like it's risky because you just don't know what happened. It is very risky. Um, hey, hey, listen, I've had it. I've come up different. So for me preaching to them, it's a little bit. I'm want to
give them the proper advice. I don't want. I'm not here to try to change your life and make you I'm just trying to give you a fair one of the things that could happen if you keep going in that direction. And if you want to do music, one of these things you're gonna have to put there because it's not gonna add up. You're even gonna do the streets or you're gonna do the music. Because they never mix. It never works. I've never seen nobody do that successfully
as we can see. So many examples in front of us, and it's just nasty device that's going on. Hip Hop's crazy. Like when we were coming up, we were protected as artists. There's no protection for the artists anymore. We're straight targets. And I stand on what I said. Being a rapper is the most dangerous job in the world, as we can see so many depths happen in these past three years.
And I'm talking about not just any depth. Some of the biggest artists that we've seen come out of this game Gun Dawn due to the street violence and things like that. So you know, I remember when you said that everybody gave you flack, and I'm like, was Jim early or was he just seeing it before everybody else? So I mean not to be like that. Since I've said that comment. I would like somebody actually count the depths of rappers that have happened that has happened since
that comment. And you tell me if I hate it on the head and you know what I mean. So, I mean, I know you moved differently, So is there a way to move differently? Because in New York it's like they I feel like in New York sometimes they want you to get either robbed or shot or put in jail, right, because you can't carry a firearmy not allowed, right, But the person that's trying to rob you, they don't care about that. But then if you carry a firearm,
you get three years automatically. But the person that's trying to rob you or shoot your gun you down, they don't care about that. So put you in an ill predicament. So what do you tell those young artists how to move? You know, we were in a day where you know, we could move a little differently. We weren't getting a rat It wasn't as bad. Now it just seems like it's wild wild West, New Yo pop hunted to the shooter.
Let me stop, let me stop them, let me stop, let me stop, let me stop um Now, As a way to move, you gotta move tactical wildea, I mean. And for those who don't have the proper finances to actually afford the proper security and move away. Most artists don't. They're coming up, they don't have the money to pay a security guard. And all right, so this is honestly what I tell you. Did you want to be doing music right, and you're the artists you a rapper. These
dudes are rare. You gotta take you as the most important thing in this group. Right, something happens to you, nothing's ever gonna amount to nothing for them. Like they're not going to get to where they would like to go by using you as their vessel. So therefore they have to hold you in high regard, the highest regard of all. So if there's something that you would used
to carry, they have to carry it for you. It was something that was would happen, they would have to do it for you, and they have to react fast, and you have to trust in them that they're gonna hold you up because they see the future and believe in you that you're gonna take them out of this threshold where they have to do these things for you. Now you heard, and that's that's the illest thing I could tell them because that was the way I had
to move at a time. But you did, like it's you got to figure out how to move tactical in these situations if you and yet it's war, it's gonna be some casualties and some people not gonna make it. But the principle has to be protected at all times. If you want to get any success in this situation. And that's what I tell them. Honestly, you got to figure it out from there. I'm telling you stop doing
what you're doing. I'm telling you to move a little bit smarter so give you better chances that you would being successful at helping your dudes that wouldn't happen to not happen to do them same things anymore, because you'll be having that money for the proper to carry. Everybody could be a little bit easy. And it feels like y'all this generation artists don't have the same things to look out for like y'all did. Like was hip hop police good or bad for New York? It's funny you
say that shouts to Sean. Sean was a very very very respectable hip hop police and anybody was in Florida, Now that's dope shots the office on Florida. I ran into Himen I was in Florida. Wow, I don't want to run into him and shout to Sean. He was one of the most respectable individuals for him be on the other side of us, and I always kept it like that. I don't know how the new dudes going around, um,
but we're not gonna get into that um. But I don't know you did, Lady seanna catch a young young rappers up, Any young rappers out there, watch the rap police. They not your friends. They're gonna make it seem like there's some type of security here for you. They're not. They're here. They catch you slipping. The moments they catch you with a firearm, they're gonna do it to you, dick. So if I was you, do not get caught with a firearm. That's all they want. They don't care about
anything else remotely that firearm. In this sit, they know you're moving reckless. You heard, tactical like you'll say it, sturdy if you dig. But the sturdy part is to not get caught by them boys. Because they catch you with a gun, they're gonna roof you. As you see. What they do don't even matter. So just be smart when you're moving around here. If you're the artist, don't
be in the car with the hammer. You heard. If your artists don't have the hammer directly behind you in the car and back of you, you heard, be a little moved smart. So we're gonna say about that. Hi, we got on with Jim Jones when we come back. Let's get into a single. We set the trends. Jim Jones me goes, It's the breakfast club. Good morning, Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast club. That was. We set the trends. Jim Jones featuring me Goes. Jim Jones
is here. We gotta ask you. You were out in Florida. You were eating at Prime Allegedly allegedly there was that's kind of crazy. Right after the police question, Jim, I think you need to it's kind of crazy. It's colder head, you know, the allegedly that you and Freddie Gibbs got into a little tussler. It's colder got the aco No, I mean, I don't tussle baby. Now. I don't know what they're talking about. Man, you know, rumors fly. That's it.
How important was the dip set in Locks versus? Very important? Super super important for the culture. That was a historic moment in hip hop. Sometimes it's like the Damn Play because I don't like how Jada came out there. I want all smoke with Jada, honey stop. But now it was the super one of the dopest events hip hop as seeing. It felt like BDP days, back in the days when they used to rock Cam and Big Daddy came coming into battle and some of these spots and
like felt like video music box in that joint. They just felt like high octane, the most dysfunctional level with love that you can ever get to the thinnest threshold. But it's like, how close can you get to that line of this discretion without crossing it? Like you know what I mean? Like, but it was dope day, so I tipped my hat to everybody. All parties included shouts to Swiss, shouts of Temberland U Triller for putting on
such a dope event. Did y'all prepare because it seemed like the Locks they were practicing and they were they were preparing the dip set really prepared, because y'all didn't seem like y'all were in unison. Um. Now you said that right, because we weren't in Uniscent. Don't mean that we didn't prepare. Your things happened the Nucleus and things like that, But you're shout the Locks for being prepared.
Shouts to Jada for definitely coming in as a sportsman as he is even kicking as some versus Oh yeah, I gotta get I gotta take my hat to you. If you had to do it over, how would you do it? And I had to do it over? How would I do it? I don't. I wouldn't. It's it's a lot of like it was a dip Set versus Locks, So that's how I kept it like like it just dip Set verse slacks. It wasn't Jim Jones verse slats, you know what I mean? Like we all got different
ways we were to do it. Now, if it was a Jim Jones versus somebody in New York City might go way different. I don't know ask to with dip Set. You know, we see the Locks two albums and projects, and now it seems like the members of dip Set everybody's cool. Will we be getting a new album a new situation? Oh I don't know. I would. I don't know when that would happen. But I Kim dibbling and dabbling back into music. It feels like you're the only
hungry one, Jim when it comes to music. I'm hungry period. Wouldn't come to money. Music makes money. I'm into it now, but music besides that, Like did he both did he and Hove told me these things, and that's why I was, like they both said, name music fuels everything. Get back to the music all it's brilliant, smart you is and all these business amities like all these things are gonna work in your favor as soon as you get another hit. You're and I've just been digging and trying to be
were not trying to be being consistent. Person told me not too long ago, which was the advice I've been following all my life, was when you can't stay motivated, stay consistent. And that's what I've been doing for years. We set the trend as the record. I mean, I want to make sure guys he puts puts the right
thing behind it, because that's the record. Yeah, guy, guys, he tells me like four in the morning, Kelly Thomas different Um just to tell me that, like, y'all, I'm putting everything on this record, Like don't worry, We're gonna We're gonna fall steam with this record, which is pretty dope for the most the record is they've been organic as far like I really haven't put a dollar on that record, Like it was just the DJ showing love.
I did groundwork that we used to do before Instagram, I did a bunch of Dove plays, did a bunch of drifted, like three hundred deb plays, Like who does that anymore? For these DJs? Like you know what I mean? I just just like, you know what, If I'm gonna win, I'm gonna start with the DJs, the people that I know are really gonna be responsible for me, for getting me back on him anyways, getting me back in the streets, to get me back in them clubs, and it work.
I had a decent record, and I was telling somebody the other day, like, because you know they always ask you ain't envy your man, You ain't many they're only playing Blake. Listen. There's so much, but so much they could do if you don't give them the right work. It's like any block bro, if you got a bomb, work on sell itself. Like if you don't got a bomb, you gotta step on. You gotta do different things to get that work off. Cool. I got a bomb, Now
we we could work. I see all the DJ's play and I love it, Like I'm glad I know the game because a lot of people think just because your man is a is a DJ or working bro like that they could play trash just whack records. And when when Jim sent me that record, I said what I was asking, this is it? This is the record. And I've been I've been on like Jim been putting out somebody.
He'd been putting out the best music you know. But yeah, but you know what we're trying to say, like to get this for envy the whole hearted league being this building, telling people like your buggy was this need to you think he need he need that work, you know what I mean, Like he can't go in there with a half assed record. I I mean like you did, like na he wants and I respect that you did because
that's how I want to black. Oh I got one, Gonna go crazy to build it for me no matter how long I'm back though, So it feels good to him say that text me that. I was like, oh yeah, because he snobby, no superio. So when you get heavy like now you got when you're like, oh, yes you did, because then I know all the people in this industry that think like him, that in the positions like him thinking just like oh, Jim got one. That's interesting that
diddian hole said you gotta have a hit. Because I'm like, man, you got catalog like hip I feel like hip hop's the only genre that think like that, Like you gotta have something now like, no, we'll beat your catalog. We're not saying this, this is this is this both told me a separate occasions throughout the years. But what they're saying is that music always leads the business for us. Or even though it's ninety percent businesses tempercent talented, that
type of the same talent ain't leading. You ain't getting in that ninety per cent business. So if you got to hit or you got a record that's being played on the radio and turning into I guess where everything else comes with him? All ancillary money come with his z. If you got real estate, if you got cryptocurrency, if you got fitness, if you've got anything, is gonna come very easily. These companies gonna start coming and giving you money, sponsorship checks, all of that. You know what I mean,
Like it's crazy. Now, I wanted to clear I thought this was the funniest thing when I first seen it. When when the when the media tried to change your words, right, he was on lip service? What did they take out of context about that? Made it seem like I was tongue kissing my mom's down. I was making having fun, but I'd like, first of all, every black man has kissed their moms in their mouth all the time, so
I don't want to. So they just took it out of And that's what Andy was asking me, Like what I No, I was not tongue kissing my mom's Like, come on, give me a goddamn break. It's the media. They take everything out of you know what I mean. Yeah, But for the most part, I was trending and was viral all month. That helped the records you heard. I was, Hey, I worried. The only reason I worried about stuff like that is because people know you, right, So it's like,
these kids are disrespectful. So you might be walking and they'd be like, oh yo, you did such and such to your mom, And then I don't wonder how that. I wonder how that would we know, how that would we know? How that would point. So I see you on the ground and I'm like, you know, you laughing about it, but I'm like, man, these kids are here, stupid Joe, and they're gonna they're gonna learn the hardway. Yeah, I'm holy, I think I feel like the problem going
back to that. I was surprised, now you know what, let me leave it alone. I was. I was waiting for me and Charlom, waiting for the footage weave the footage of what nothing. I'm hungry. I want to go to problem with twelve. I'm saying, you waiting for what? Do you know what? All jokes aside, it's a part of us, right, even though we don't want that. But we don't want to see nobody and no problem nobody. Jim and the gym a lot. So you want to see a little bit. You just want to see a
little bit. I'm trying to get an action movie. I'm trying to get an action movie right there, man, somebody Kobe Mad mixtape. We call the Drama gamester Grillers out right now, make sure you stream it. Yes, we appreciate you for Jordan, appreciate you New York City.

Boom, something's missing, like something's missing. Like every boom, I'm a little the
muscle men boom man something. It's always something different And I don't know. I'm just guys want to fight me for one hundred million bucks. I don't think I'll level just stuff like that anymore. I wanted to do it the first time. It's so fun. You have to have fun. And then some people took it into another level and made it financial, and then the fun went out of it. Yeah, man, Mike Tyson, want to be here for a while. Like you know, at the end of the day, you can't
beat father time. So you know, regardless of what you were and who you were, you're gonna get old. You get never any one of them young boys hit you the wrong way, and one hundred million dollars ain't worth it. Yeah, And I can understand wanting to do things that are just fun.

All right, yeah, you don't
so excited? Guys, who's not excited? I am excited. Another part that I did I would. I really loved and enjoy doing it. I talked to some small business owners black women who had some small businesses and they came to my coffee shop in Brooklyn. We had an amazing discussion. So that was dope. And you know what I'm talking about. My favorite subject, mental health for my good brother Jay Barnetts.
Dropping a close months for Jay Barnett and some others. Okay, yeah, all right, Well me and the wife a talking relationship stuff. So I can't wait for you guys to check it out. Let's get to that donkey. We only do it at the same time every day for twelve years, man to Dog and Blowers, many waited for Charlemagne to top. She had to make a judgment. Who was going to be on the Donkey of the day. They chose you the breakfast club bitches, Who's donkey of the day to day?
All right, we're here, all right. Donkey of the Day for Monday, January twenty fourth is the story that I've read in the Sun. Oh, and it's made this way to the NY Post and other outlets. And I must say, even though the story is highly entertaining, I simply don't believe it, not at all, okay, And I'm not sure
who gets the donkey to day in this situation. Is it the alleged giver whose name this Colleen, Or is it the alleged receiver boyfriend whose name hasn't been revealed, which is all the more reason why I don't believe this story. Now, I know what you're saying, Uncle shaula brother Lenard. Why are you giving Donkey the Day out if you don't believe in the story, because to me, Donkey of the Day has never been about the individual
or individuals. It's about the idea, Okay. It's about people getting the credit they deserved for being stupid stupid ideas, but actually getting the credit they deserved for doing stupid things. Okay. I believe this story if real falls into that category, but I feel like they have collectively earned a he hall together. Maybe I don't know now. Salute to all the organ donors out there, drop on a clues box, follow organ donors man. All Right, you are appreciated. Okay.
Donation of organs is such a selfless act that doesn't get celebrated enough. All right, Snapple Fact experts say when you donate organs and tissue after you die, you can save or improve as many as seventy five lies. A lot of grieving family members say that knowing their loved one help save or improve someone's life, help them cope with their loss. And it's not just those who have transitioned. Living donators serve as a viable option as well, especially
in cases of kidney and liver transplants. You can save the life of both the recipient and the next person on the waiting list. So salute the all the organ donors out there living and those no longer with us physically. Now, if you're going to donate an organ, do it because you want to, all right, do it because it's the right thing to do. And if you and a person have a relationship, doesn't matter what the relationship is, okay, family member, friend, in the case we are discussing today,
boyfriend and girlfriend, all right, don't do it. And if things don't go right with the individual, you are constantly reminding them of what they have you know, what you have done for them, all right, And this is what is happening with Kyleeen. Kyleeen had the chance to change her boyfriend's life six years ago. Her boyfriend boyfriend, Okay, her boyfriend has been struggling with chronic kidney disease since
the age of seventeen. So he was on dialysis and this kidneys function that just five percent of the average capacity. So Kyleeen decided to go see if she was a match because she didn't want to watch him die. What happened next well, in a series of TikTok videos, the surgery was a success and both made a full recovery, and according to Kyleeen, seven months later he was in the streets cheating on her. She kept that man alive,
allegedly just so he could go cheat on her. Kyleeen explained on the Talker of the Ticks how her ex told he was going to Las Vegas for a bachelor party with some guys in his church. She was in the thick of final exams and trusted her boyfriend completely, and then later on he turned up on her doorstep and confessed to cheating. All right, they argued, She gave him a second chance, and three months later the guy
dumped Colleen over the phone. He said to her, allegedly, if we are meant for each other, God will bring us back together. But it only got messier from there. This mystery boyfriend. Kidney recipient told Kyleeen she only donated Jill kidney. You only donated your kidney to look good,
all right. Question if you donate a kidney to your significant other and they ever complain about you not getting them something for birthdays, Christmas, Valentine's I wish you would complain about not getting something for Valentine's when I gave you my heart literally, well I'd be dead, so it don't matter. But you understand my point. I believe this story is cap okay fiction, a tall tale, an entertaining
tall tale, but a story nonetheless. And the reason you would be you know, the reason I think it's cap is because you would be saying this humans name if this man really existed. Ain't no way you tell this whole story and don't give us his name. His social media handling something. Maybe she did on the topics of the ticks. Maybe the folks who'll be all over tik Tak know his name, but I don't. Okay, maybe they
know who he is. But if you was gonna put someone on blast because you gave them a whole kidney, I think you would say that person's name. Number two reasons I think this story is cap. Correct me if I'm wrong, because we're gonna open the phone lines. I'm not a doctor. I just have an honorary doctorate from South Carolina State University, dropping clump to South Carolina State.
I thought when it came to transplant sex mattered. I thought I thought sex matter when it came to organ trans plans, I thought sex differences influenced organ transplant rejection rate.
I just thought it depended on what you were transplanting. Yeah, so I did some research this morning, and by research I mean Google, and Google said only in some exceptional conditions, male donor to female recipient kidney transplant may be successful, and female donors to male recipients are not suggested, especially in aged patients with the history of dialysis. I don't know. Like I said, we can open the phone lines the doctors to put us on the game. But let's just
say hypothetically, I believe this story, my brother. If what I just read about female donors, if what I just researched on Google, okay, it's true about you know, female donors to male recipients. If it's true and only in some exceptional conditions is it successful, then you gotta get the biggest he hall for missing out on your soulmate. Do you know how many people are out here praying
to God to bless him with the right one. Do you know how many people are out here with someone asking for a sign from God to let them know this is indeed the person they're supposed to be with. If for a woman number one wants to give you her kidney, and said woman is a match and doesn't want to see you die. You're supposed to drop to your knees and say will you marry me? Period and Colleen, and I'm glad you did the right thing. Okay, organ
don't to save lives. But when you do something out of the goodness of your heart or in this case, the goodness of your kidney, just do it. Because whether or not you gave him a kidney has nothing to do with whether he wanted you to be with him or not. Okay, I know it's upsetting because you could have just let him die, But look at it this way. You gave him the script to make some other woman happy. All right. That man will probably get with some other woman.
Love them, have kids, beautiful, healthy babies that will grow up in this planet and contribute greatly to society, and they have you to thank for that. College. Allegedly, even though I don't believe the story, I still have to let the handlertones give this young man the biggest he huh Oh, now you are the dogee, Oh, the damn do gee. Oh the day. I don't believe this story. By the way, I think it's cat, but nobody cares about the truth when the live more entertaining and content
is king. What's the question? The question is should you be doing itating kidney's your boyfriend? Don't you think us a little bit much? Did she ask for a back though, because I would put my back. You break up with me? Now I need that back. I don't think it's a warranty on the kids. Need that back. You keep the kidney. I need that back. You got to give me. Come now, I bring that back. I don't think you keep to receive on the kidney man. All right? Eight hundred five
eight five one on five one. I just want to know if people think about this situation. I really do call us up right now, let's talk about it again. Because did he all hurt anything that he all her a life? Yes? I don't need my kidney back. Did he did he owe her, you know, to be with her for the rest of her life? I think he should have. But did he really owe her? No, she did something out of the goodness of her heart and are the goodness of her kidney. He's alive. He decided
to move on with his life. No, I did that because I thought we were gonna be together. Well, we're not together. You should have got the ring first. He's about to die, that is true. I gotta keep you alive to get married and then wow, I kept you alive to get married and then you let's discuss all right. Eight hundred five A five one o five one is the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. It's topic time on the phone called eight hundred five A five
one oh five. Want to join it to the discussion with the breakfast Club? Talk about it morning. Everybody is DJ Envy and Ngula yee. Charlomagne the guy we are the breakfast Club, Good morning Now if he just joined us, Charlomagne gave donk in to day too. There's a guy allegedly who's a boyfriend of a woman named Colleen. Colleen is thirty and she was on the talker of the
Ticks and she donated a kidney. She donated a kidney to her ex boyfriend and then claimed that he cheated and dumped her just ten months later and accused her of going her head with the transplant just to look good. Wow, So she gave him the kidney, yes, and he cheated. Seven months later they got back together, but then he dumped three months later. I'm gonna need my kidney back. You got to run that back. We had to go to a doctor. I need my kidney back. I can't
just give that to you. You can't force somebody to give a kidney back. That's terrible. If I got that kidney acting or a brand new if jewelry or whatever, I hated that back. I need my kidney back. What do you think he's gonna go and go and go inside of him and grab it. And you can't force anybody to do it. And you know, unfortunately, when you do something for somebody, it's never because you have to have expectations. I mean, you can have expectations, but they
might not be met. And so this is a valuable life lesson. If I'm gonna give you my kidney or any other type of work again, doesn't necessarily mean we're gonna end up together, and you you can do about it. Your boyfriend needs a kidney, you're giving it to him. I mean, is he like about to die? How bad is it? How much he got left on the battery? How that is your battery to him? Find I tried to help him find somebody that if I had to, if it was you know, gife death. Oh man, Yeah,
I don't. I don't know what you do in a situation like this. I don't think that she should have felt like he owed her or anything, though, because even though he did give she gave him a kidney. It's not like he he was destined to be with her for the rest of you know, their life, your kidney. Yes, you are, man, I mean it depends. Its amaserable together is No, you can't force don't take those comfortable, don't take those conversations could get harsh. So I should have
let you die, you know what I mean? Offering him alcohol? Hello, who's this? It's Asia? Asia? What's up to talk to us? So I get the whole kidney thing. I get the I'm gonna donated because I love you, But if you want to cheat on me, you's gonna leave me for somebody else. I'm gonna have to take that return back. You know what are y'all talking about about how kidneys work? We're talking about kidneys. Don't just give a kidney back,
use your kidney with another bitch. Now after that, I want my kidney back, right, That's what I'm seeing you know what, I'm gonna take it and then leave, like you're gonna be happy with somebody else. But you can be happy with her kidneys you can get you know, it would be so funny, be like we'll come get it. Then come get it. If you wanted that back, go over there with a knife. What the hell somebody else for my kidney? Hello? Who's this? Hey, Catherine? That would
you donate your kidney? Well? Okay, so it was gonna be a lose lose anyway. So I hear Searleamine say that, you know she should have got the rain first. But you've been married, folks. Still she on his house and he still could have left. So you know, would you want your boyfriend to die or you know he was gonna don't He was probably gonna leave anyway, don't matter.
Way is it probably wasn't gonna start then, Like Charlo Mane said, you know, she donated to kidney and he probably get married to love his life and have babies and everything or whatever. That's right, So she can look at it. Like I wanted to also say about the um the gender transplant thing. Um, it really doesn't matter in some cases, like you said, I know you say you go with it. My aunt, her sister had diabetes
real bad and she needed to kidney. So she ain't my aunt, but my aunt hand to take a sales fraid but she could not donate, but she um the next person with her brother and it was a successful Transplantey. Now, hold on, it's twenty twenty two, so I have to ask. Was her brother used to be her sister? No? Okay, okay, thank you mama. Are you up y'all? Have? I mean, I'm sure he couldn't go on taking pig parts down to what? I don't know, man, just la week did
were talking about a pig the gave a heart? Yes, but yeah, but I don't know if the pigs. I don't think the pig hearts stayed in the human that long though, did it. I think he's still a little human. I don't know. Man. Eight hundred five eight five one o five one gave donkey to day to who her name is kyleen on TikTok, and she said she donated a kidney to her ex boyfriend and she claims he cheated and dump her just ten months later and accused
her of going ahead with the transplant. Just to look good. I don't believe this story. By the way, all right, eight hundred five eighty five one oh five one. What would you do with the Breakfast Club the morning? Call me and your opinions to the breakfast Club top eight hundred five five one five one morning. Everybody is dj N v Angela. Yee, Charlomagne the guy we are the breakfast club now if you're just joining us with talking about donkey today, Charlomagne gave to this young lady she
allegedly gave thirty years old names. Colleen gave her kidney to her boyfriend because he needed it, of course, and then her boyfriend dumped him. She did her dumped up, and now he laid up with the next chip with her kidney. That's right. Having kids, you know, I don't know if you're having kids now. That's my kidney now. But she got to look at the bright side, you
know what I'm saying. You gave this man the scrimp, you know, to be with other women, and you know he'd probably find the real love of his life, and they'll have kids and grow up to be a productive you know family, and those kids will be productive citizens in this world. And it's all things to you Colin. Nope, he'll be bad. He needs another organ? Stupid? Hello? Who's this? Hey? Hey, what's up? What would you do? Mesy? Wow? I think she should find solace and knowing that she did the
right thing. I mean she was a vessel and having someone here on earth for another day. I also remember that you reap what you saw. So if he did anything with malice or bad intentions, he won't get it right back. Well, well, it depends, right, because what were her intentions with giving that kidney? If she was really doing it out the goodness of her heart show report, she's so. But if she was doing it because you know she wanted to hold it over its Hey man,
I don't know that. That's so Saloma, that's so still, but tomorrow to serve you reap what you sell here, that's true, Thank you, mama. Any doctors on the line, I need to know about this kidney Jinda transplant? We got no doctors on the lawe se non. Hello, who's this? Hi? This is Keisha from Virginia. From Virginia. What would you do? Keisha?
So I'm actually in a very similar situation. My husband is leading for a kidney, and it is a very challenging to see whether or not you're going to be a donor for It took me a minute before I actually apply because it's a life changing event. Now, the linge saloma you were saying about the mental women that is an asterid. The blood type that makes that the importance. My husband has happens to have an old positive which
she can really accept any type of a donor. Unfortunately, I wind up having diabetes so that I'm not eligible at this time to be his donor. But what I think is really important is you when you accept my kidney, and when you give them your kidney, you can't do that with a reservation of anything that they don't even owe for a relationship, because imagine you've given them your kidney and the only reason y'allars staying together is because
of that kidney. Who has that really benefiting So that when you give somebody something such as that, you've got to give it to him for the person. I mean, honestly love that person. So you've got to love them and want them to live a happy life, even if it doesn't include you. There's a childish part of me that has had that we'll all launa minute. I might have to go get my kidney back. But then to really think about it and say, you know, a man as a man to know that go with that, I
want him to have a good life. So I think that somebody gives that to you, you even owe them to stay in a relationship if that's what you want. But I do think you owe them the honesty that if you're not there to stay in a relationship, let them know before they give you that kid I agree, Thank you, very very sensible statement. Absolutely, good luck to your husband. Thank you, queen. Now, what if you're a girl, right a woman, and your boyfriend needed a kidney and
your blood don't match. But you find out he well you knew he was cheating on you, right, so, but but he stopped messing with the side chick. But the side chick steps up and says, I would like to see and finds out the side chick blood matches and the side check mostly donate their kidney. Do you let your husband ship that kidney from the side check? Would you take that kidney from the side check? That's that
wasn't the question? Signed you on him? Listen, Okay, I asked the question, Well, I just want to know what what the woman? What would you? What would they do? I would tell him get it? But we wouldn't be together anymore. Damn, damn. She volunteered. Okay, okay, okay, what if what if a donor comes in? Right? It matches, matches, They do the surgery and successful and you find out after the fact it was a girl who used to mess with What do you do? You want that kidney back?
Do I want it back? Now? We just won't be together anymore. Damn. We didn't know mom warding Upward on Twitter talk about I'm keeping your man alive. Bitch, My goodness, we got rumors a waiting. Yes, let's talk about Arie Lennox. He says she's not doing interviews anymore, and you know she's not going to South Africa and she wants to be dropped from her label because she wants to be free. And she did say social media is a traumatizing, unhealthy place.
We'll give you the background, all right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Listen, Oh my gosh, report got breakfast Club. Well, Arie Lennox has been in the news and that is all because of an interview that she did. She was talking to a podcast. Her name Maggie. And here's what happened on that interview. And we had right now as someone right now, Oh my god, whoa? There, Um, I'm not happy. Well
that's a would question. Why that way? Why don't ask it that way? Whoa? Because that's what you're saying the song. You know what I mean? I love that part. Where did I say that? I said, yeah, don't you remember the song? Oh, I guess I did say that. I do say that. Let me Um, okay, you just threw you caught me off guard there, but I did say that. But no, that's not actually what she said in the song. But you listen to the song pop she says. Um, she says, if you really love me, I'll f you good.
She said, I'll you good. I think not the guy for good Now he's from South Africa. He has a podcast and chill show. Now after that, there was a lot of people in and how uncomfortable she felt. She posted, I'm just like, why was I alone on a call full of people? Why didn't anyone intervene? And why wasn't part of the interview destroyed like the team promised, why did it happen to begin with? Just feel slow and ambushed and blindsided, but effort. I don't want anyone feeling
sorry for me. I'm tired of the narrative, exhausted. I'm good, I promise. But as for interviews, I'm not doing them anymore. There's enough lives and interviews out there already. Now. This continued on over the weekend, and then she said South Africa, y'all got it, hurd you loud and clear, this won't be your place I will ever visit. Really got grown men justifying rape and predatory culture disgusting, And it just went on from there. But she did say that social
media is a traumatizing, unhealthy place. You're only accepted here if you're perfect and seemingly happy at all times, when every single life knows that's not realistic. People cry, people complain, people are mad in real life. I just never cared to be a fake ass bitch. You know. I love watching a young media personalities attempt to figure it out, you know. And one thing I won't do is judge Macgee, because you know I at one point was it macg
I was wanting those young boys like that. So I would rather cancel counsel the man instead of cancel him. And this is a teachable moment for young media personalities. I didn't hear the whole context of the conversation. I just heard that part, so I don't know how they got to that question. But let me be the first to tell you it's not what you say, but how you say it. And I feel like if it's based off something an artist said in a song, it's fair game,
but the delivery still has to be correct. And as a forty three year old man, I would rather the woman in the room ask a question like that, right, Like ye, y'all have combos like that on lip service all the time. Right. Well, And people did bring up the R. Lennox lip service interview, but I will say before people come in as shall we also let them know, you know, we're talking about sex and relationships, we're having a good time. We try not to ask anything that's
going to make anyone uncomfortable. I would have said, look and your song you said this, so in real life, is this what's happening? And so people know that's what that podcast is about, they actually request to come on there knowing that's what it's about. We have Joey Badass on tomorrow. He wanted to do it about sex and relationships, so they know what they're walking into. But if it's somebody you don't know, who you're not comfortable with and
it comes out of left field, that can't feel. But yeah, the first thing, the first thing you should have did is is he should have asked her about the actual record that he was about the reference, asked her about the pop record. Didn't have to discussing the record. You know, you might can get into, you know, some lyrics, but I still feel like he got the lyric wrong. But not only that. If it was asked to be removed and they said that they would remove it and didn't
remove it, that's another problem. Well, if they promised her, they promised to, that's what she said, she said in her tweet. So yeah, so and then it's not easy when people are are coming at you. If she felt uncomfortable, she felt uncomfortable, you can't be mad at her or tell her what you said this So you did that, you know, and you can't expect comfortable it is, yeah, and you can't expect her to react, you know, that
way in real time, you know what I mean. People think about things later and be like, damn, why are you doing me like that? You know what I mean? So you you know, everybody reacts to things differently, But yeah, I would just say, you know, it's not what you say, it is how you say it a lot of times. All right now, I think we know what we're talking about. Right, We've been around the block. Yeah, you know, we've asked a couple couple of questions the two in a interviews, right, yeah,
all right, now. Julia Fox has addressed people saying that she's dating Kanye West fork quote cloud. You know, she has her own podcast called Forbidden Fruits, And here's what you have to say about that. When I was younger, I was such an attention seeker, had to be like make everything about me, every situation about me. And as I got older and like did work on myself. Like now like I really like don't need it or care
for it. People are like, oh, you're only in it for the fame, you're in it for the cloud, you're in it for the money. And it's like, honey, like I dated billionaires my entire adult life. Okay, let's keep it real. And secondly, um no, I really don't. I just care about like making my art, like watch my movie. I don't know what she just she said, watch a movie. What I got from She said, she dated billionaire's her entire adult life, and she's not dating Kanye for cloud.
She could care less. I just watch her movies and her art. And she also addressed a video that's circulated where she's with Yay Madonna, Antonio Brown, Floyd Mayweather, Jason Lee their partying. She said she was supposed to be a dinner for just Madonna, just the two of them. She said, all these other celebs crashed the party, all right. And by the way, that Kanye Genius Netflix documentary has it has premiered at the Sundance Film Festival the Sundance Studio,
so people got a chance to see that. I saw they were saying Kanye one's final edit and approval. But Couti and Chic, who actually directed it, did an interview where they discussed basically, you know, documentaries aren't supposed to be to make you just look like you're in a good light. It is supposed to be a documentary. So they did say that they worked really hard on this, and they worked with Kanye on this, and while he's had a chance to see it, he's not getting the
final final cuts. So that's Yay's journey through their vision. And that is your rumor report. All you can see that, by the way, and you can see that, by the way on Netflix starting February sixteenth. It's a Kanye trilogy. It is real cool. I hope, I hope our Lennox doesn't stop going to South Africa just because of, you know, one bad conversation like South Africa's beautiful. I don't deny yourself. You know those trips to South Africa just because of
one conversation, I'm mad I can't go there. Yeah, and I said, I saw a lot of people from South Africa showing her support and saying they would love for her to come there. So all right, what's the little Maggie too? And you know the podcast and show podcast like I'm always here for counsel. All right, well, that is your rumor report. Let's get to the mix, to people's choice mix, get your requesting. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, So Breakfast Club, your mornings will never be
the same. Our audible pick of the day is the perfect day to boss up. This is Rick Ross's guide to building your own empire. Now listen up your first dirty days Audible or free when you signed up at audible dot com slash breakfast Club. So Breakfast Club, your morning's will never be the same more than everybody's. DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got some special guests in the building. Yes, indeed
having styles Peak group. Thank you, thats good. Let's let's start from the beginning. How did you guys get together and say, you know what, this is what we're gonna do. We're gonna create this group. Uh, you know what. One day I just woke up. I wanted to do a project with one of my favorite artists. Styles Peak was at the top of that list. He was with it. Hell yeah, sent them some music and we just did
the thing. We just recog manded me Wreckage, sending them for Havoc Man and sending them for styles and we felt, you know how, Yeah, he was bringing what we was bringing, but we was bringing in in a different way. And respect to them our respective groups Locks and Mob Deep. He's a member of Mob. I'm a member of Locks.
We're gonna give you that, but it was in a manner we was gonna do it, and we felt like it was just gonna be real accurate hip hop that gives you a wreckage feeling, but with with gracian style. When you look at some of your first videos and footage from performances, how many people that's seal with you from back then? Oh? Man? How people out there now? I say like stags, like you know, because we was
kids back there. You know, people change, and you know when you come into game, you bring like a thousand people with you just to for that support, but then they mess everything up for you because they don't mean to you know what I mean. But in the in the business sense, it's not good for business, you know what I mean. But your people's mean well, you know what I mean, because they just did to hold you down.
But you know, everybody rough around the edges. So what advice would you give to artists now who are just coming out, they got all their peoples around, and even for the people that are around and are trying to like be an asset to an artist, what kind of advice would you give? You just gave it be an asset. I would tell the artist to tell an entourage, make sure you're an asset, not a liability, and leave the criminals for criminal activity. I think a large part of
a lot of artists really want to be gangsters. And it's cool if you really was a gangster and you're making it and you're making the way out. But I think it's a big misconception that gangsters still want to be gangsters. This morning that what was it, the wolve line don't make good house pets. Yeah, I was talking about people who like to play play the street, like, yeah, I was actually talking about ya right now. Yeah, that's that's a that's a good point, because they don't I mean,
and a lot of people don't know. Sometimes you're a sheep standing right next to a wolf and you have no idea, and a lot of people, you know, they're getting in this thing. And you might just be at the club. You might just be talking crap, but you might be talking crap to the room. Absolutely, you might be just talking crap to the wroong dudes. Who's there's
a lot of dudes willing to throw it away. And I think a lot of people in the industry don't realize that, like because even now, like when the time we came out too, you couldn't walk around with half a million on if you have reputation, then solidified that you could walk around with a half a million. And now it's like I'm doing this, I'm lollygagging in the city and you know, I'm talking crazy and I'm not
built like that. Yeah. I was talking about, you know, the Kanye situation because it's like, you know, you see him with the Jay Princes in the game and being e seagull now and then he's rapping about, you know, beating people up. And then I was thinking about what he said on Drink Chaps about how he just used the backpackers. He don't really rock with them, and I'm like, yo, if you're doing that with them screen dudes. Yeah, wolves don't make good house pets. You're gonna learn the one
thing too. You gotta understand all across the board, no matter what, whether it's gangsters or not even just corporate wolves, wolves the wolves. If you can't take advantage of certain people because they're gonna want to take advantage backing, and then some people are letting you be there because they plan on taking advantage of whatever circle you and you got to know if you're the ship of the wolf.
Now you mentioned something for both of y'all that you talk about these other artists, you know they quick to throw it away for a lot of them, but both of y'all at one time was quick to throw it away. I was the massive quick. I mean, you don't lead picture saying you said you don't got a gun with me. I might be quoting Lyne wrong. You said, even if you don't got a gun, you got two blades on you. Yeah, protection, you see, I'm not I'm not a I'm a peaceful person.
I strive for peace, but I'm I'm a realistic person. I'm not gonna I don't see him all styles is right there, anything happened, I'm not gonna just I'm not gonna turn the cheek other kind of dude. I'm a less I'm not afraid to share your I don't want this problem, right. I will also tell you do not confuse me saying I don't want the problem with I won't hend a little problem like. That's a big difference,
I think. But men should be men enough to be like I'm forty seven, I ain't trying to eight tomorrow. I ain't trying to look for you. I don't trying to ask your little homies where you add I try. I would definitely have styles have to step to somebody for me before everything I do it. I'm not on y'all. I'm like, you know, before it was more like you know now approach, you get to that to that point where it's like, you know what, I'm not doing this
no more like like when when when was that? Because you've done it a zillion one times, You've done in a zillion one time. When did it get to that point where it's like, you know what? I got to stop and today is the day getting locked up for something, you know what I mean? Low key and just seeing some of my people's getting locked up, you know what I mean, and just thinking how easily I could just throw it away, you know what I mean, Just knowing
that it's not worth it. Mins was a quest for any peace really like like you say, it was a time as a rap. I never not had two guns on me. I was like, I can't just love like this every day and it's not cool and you want to go somewhere and just being peaceful. I have to apologize for all the stuff that you've done because y'all both done. I mean, you had it coming most like. That's one thing I say. Always been a gentleman. I've never been no just knucklehead and did anything for a reputation.
I probably went too far ward, something happened, But I've never been like a random troublemaker that that ain't never been alongside with my name. You never see me not coming in here not be professional. Like if I get into studio or anybody from back then, I come to do my job. I'm professional. I'm not talking craft to the engineers, the other artists, none that I come to
do my job coming to leave. Now, if I step outside, something go wrong and you kind of a cause of it, that's part of the jungle, and that's part of your pass. Makes you who you are today. If I have offended someone and I was wrong and it was on me while I'm on, yeah, I humbly apologize. I mean, you know, I had to apologize a bunch of times, you know what I mean, even today sometimes you know I got
still apologize. You know, have you you're a very underrated producer man like you helped to craft a whole sound of a city, New York, you know what I mean, in the nineties. But why why do you think you don't get mentioned with like the Premiers, the Rizzes. You know, I really don't have no idea. Maybe because I'm low key as a person. Yeah, yeah, I'm very humble as
a person. So you know, I don't go out go out there and to my own horn, because sometimes if you don't toot your homes, anybody gonna do it for you, you know what I mean. But that's just me, you know, saying about the fault. You know, I'm saying, I'm just one of those. And he's definitely needs more credit as a producer or also as a rapping producer doing a
golden error. It takes a lot of talent to do that, and he did that at a time where a lot of people weren't doing it and those who were weren't able to do it at a high level on both sides, like this is half a mom Deep. He rapped and produced the journt. So I think he doesn't get a credit enough credit for that, even like you think he's the birth of like Kanye and you know, part of it all. We got more with Havoc and Styles Pete. When we come back, don't move. It's to Breakfast Club.
Good Morning Morning. Everybody's DJ Envy and Jela Yee. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Havoc from Mob Deepest, Styles Pete from the of Course, Charlemagne. I can only imagine how I felt to lose Prodigy on a personal level, but on a professional level. Did you feel like you lost the Amuseum? Definitely? Absolutely, you know what I mean. Prodigy was one of the greats.
You know what I mean. You know, every time he would come around, I just would smile, you know what I mean, just just him being in my presence. I just I couldn't help it, you know, I couldn't stay mad at him too long. You know. Um, I definitely lost the muse. There'll never be nobody like him that I ever meet in my lifetime that would be like him. So that was a big, big loss. I missed my deep on in verses. Man. I would love to see Morb Deep doing versus that. That would have been crazy,
you know what I mean. That's one of the things that like when you think about Prodigy not being here, you know, for me, sometimes I'm like, damn, he never gonna be on stage with me again, you know what I mean, Like that's monumental for me. It's like, I can't fathom me, did you take away your love for music a moment? It didn't take away my love for music, but it definitely humbled me to the fact where I had to sit back and really reflect on, like how
I'm gonna move forward. You know. That's why it kind of took me a while to even do anything as far as projects is concerned, since Prodigy passed. What do you think cars in New York to get away from that sound? It's a combination of things money and innet and like a leadership. I mean, you got to think about us in the nineties. We weren't financially taught how to even be stable with the money we were getting, like even now to the day, not even being funny
if you think about it as a people. I hate to say it, but we're still not thinking right as artists. Nobody's really putting their money together and doing things together. And not to preach, because I'm way more gettable and harder than all of them. So I'm just being real, But what are y'all doing for the people? Like I think people just forget about what we're really doing. Like I said, when I went to your show, like you see, I was really on all like that's what it's about.
This is black, you know what I'm saying. It was like here at home, like yeah, like we're on TV now, this is black, this is black women in power, this is me. We're doing it. We like, if you ain't thinking about who's coming behind you, what are you thinking about? And absolutely that's the that's the we don't we don't
g check each other on that. But I think he was talking about musically as far as New York, like waiting New York money, because money makes you not really worry about what you're holding on to, what's shakerd to you. You start getting money and you start expending, you start using South people sounds, you start trying to sound like them, walk like them. And then the Internet made everyone's hood
accessible to everyone, so we came up. We all sounded alike, but not al Queen's Bridge ain't gonna sound like Yonkers, They ain't gonna sound like Brooklyn, ain't gonna sound like the prompts now kids are going on in the Internet and you know, a sapping them. They had the drill, I mean the screw sound, which was dope to do, but it was like, all right, we tampered them with this and with that because they had the Internet to find out about it and tamper with it. You think
because they shut New York down. I feel like it was a time where where like like when I go to these other cities, it's I see people hanging out, they're having a good time. But New York we didn't have that. After a while, like there was the Grands to the one hundred twenty fifhre you go to Jamaica Avenue, that we had that, but then it seems like all that got shut down and pushed the weight with tunnel the tunnel. There was so many different places where we
could go out, but now it's like nowhere. So it's like you had to go out of town. You went to Atlanta, you went to Philly, you went to Cali, you went to Money. I think because we I mean, you you're right exactly what you're saying, But New York is the mecca. So we started all of that. So everywherebody got to see what was happening and get to you know, capitalize off of which they was the hip
hop great thing to do. But at the same time you got to think the power is to be who didn't want to see hip hop keep drawing like that where you're gonna shut down first the home of it? Right, how many times you've been harassed by hip hop cops back then? Come on so much to the point where I have a girl relationship with most something now like like you know what I mean, It's like I walk in places now with the old people, they like let him right in. Have you had some memorable tunnel nights?
Had too many real nights? But I used to love to go to the tunnel man. You know sometimes I used to just go there by myself, like and just you know, hang out and chill and just get that vibe so I could just go back home and just make some crazy beats. Used to go to seven pm. Yeah, we had to wait and this is what the mob You asked, what the mob meaning? Us? Like in our crew and yancause it was a thing too before anybody
got on. You know, we hustling when we're working, we're doing everybody's doing everything, but you gotta get your fit right for Sunday to go to the tunnel, right right? You tell you man, the line was that hit my man on the phone tunnel bang it come get me. That was it. Why everybody knew we out and record that so much presents in the tunnel. And and and also Chris Lighty was like you know what I mean him and Jessica was at the door, so you know
we was getting in like nothing. God bless Chris. It wasn't make you go through the metal detective, none of that. It was bad. Something could have really really bad. Did you ever have any incidents in there? Personally? No, I never had no. Luckily, you know what I'm saying. I always you know, by time I left, you know, the next morning, like yo, he happened, like four people got shot him. Like we should stay to the start of playing house music at the end. That's how good get
out of here. That's how long I used to be in the first cod bathroom. Yeah, they had a champagne buyer in the back. Captains like the sounds of DJ the bathroom crazy. It was like a lounge in there. And I remember that security used to have sex with people in the bathroom. It was a real wild place. It was a wild day. Man. There's nothing like it, No nothing. I don't think they would ever be able to mlate that. Never. That's good times. Things you have to be bad for things to be good, you know
what I mean? Do you all wish y'all would have done things like this sooner in your career? And if so, like what prevented that? Like this coming together? Collapse? Collapse? Yeah? I always thought of that. I was like, damn, why why we never did this before? Like you know what I'm saying, Like me do an album with nef ray Kwon. You know things that the generation does a lot. They do collaboration, that's so dope. One of the starters of that, Like let's I mean, you know, I don't like to
throw my mine. I didn't get a lot of credit for a lot. I told kiss the other day. I think I brought design and fashion and hip hop and never got the credit that the Burberry bucket. Nobody even knew about Burberry. Side of close it was to Knock Yourself Out video or one of them had a Birdberry bucket. I don't want to know styles for fashion me neither. But no, I'm just saying you do a lot of
things that the credit for. I think about the regular like last day, and I'm like, damn, what have you bigging a lot to the more we was We're supposed to do the commission. What you mean the commission would have been big us hove and chemore. That commission would have been let wow and that like you know what I mean? I never did one record.
