Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, they went crazy. They went crazy. The album is hard too, so. All right, well, let's get in some front page news.
Morgan
Morning, Morgan.
Lauren LaRosa
Good morning.
DJ Envy
Good morning.
Jess Hilarious
How we feeling on a Friday. How I'm supposed to follow that?
Lauren LaRosa
Good. That's how we feel.
DJ Envy
I love to hear y'.
Nyla Simone
All.
Jess Hilarious
All right, so first up on Front page, President Trump and first lady Melania Trump are in Kerrville, Texas today, or at least they're traveling there today to survey the devastation from the catastrophic floods. Now, the White House says the president will meet with first responders, receive a briefing from local officials and meet with some of the family impacted by the tragedy. The trip comes exactly one week after intense rain led to the deadly floods. Now, Trump said he wanted to visit sooner but didn't want to be in the way of rescue efforts. Now, speaking of search and rescue efforts in Central Texas, they are currently in the recovery phase after nearly a week. Kerrville police Officer Jonathan Lamb gave an update on those efforts. Let's take a listen to Kerrville Police Officer Jonathan Lamb.
Morgan
Our city of Kerrville and Kerr county leadership are committed to a transparent and full review of processes and protocols. The number of missing remains at 161. And there remain five campers and one counselor from Camp mystic among the missing.
Jess Hilarious
Meanwhile, Andrews County Fire Marshal Jeremy Profitt says that social media is their worst enemy right now. He says influencers and content creators are trying to get into the disaster zones. In fact, they are getting into disaster zones. Compromising. Yeah, compromising for search. Compromising the search for victims, you know, to create content. Let's take a listen.
Morgan
The whole riverbank from the eight mile stretch is considered in the declaration of disaster and it is a no general public zone. If you are thinking about going to.
DJ Envy
The river, don't, don't.
Morgan
You're hindering our search efforts.
Jess Hilarious
At least 120 people are dead from the flooding in the state. And officials described efforts as methodical to ensure no stone is, no stone is left unturned.
Lauren LaRosa
Now, be honest with you, man. If you wanted them punk ass content creators, that's just going to, you know, a tragic event like that, just for content, you need your ass beat. I got, I told you this yesterday. Sometimes, you know, violence for those who just want to go viral, I think is necessary.
Jess Hilarious
Well, there was also a drone earlier this week that crashed into an emergency helicopter. And I believe that the emergency helicopter was able to make a landing. But again, it was just. And the drone was in the way. It was a private drone. They have now since contracted drones, you know, to help and assist with those search and rescue efforts as well. But yeah, to your point, get out the way. Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller says all up and down the Guadalupe river are ranches and farms that have been wiped out. And he talked about the economic impact of that. Let's take a listen to his comments.
Morgan
Hundreds of miles of fence been wiped out. That'll have to be rebuilt. Crops are gone or underwater. Can't replant. It's too late in the growing season. The saddest part is when you go down in that country, you'll see livestock, dead livestock. We've even seen cows in the tops of the cypress trees.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah. So the Texas Department of Agriculture is stepping in to help those affected by the flood, but Miller says it will take years for them to rebuild. So of the Community foundation of Texas Hill country has launched the Kerr, founding the Kerr county excuse me, Relief Fund to support those and who have been impacted with long term recovery efforts. All donations go directly to trusted local organizations that provide food, shelter, health care and hope. You could donate to the Kerr County Flood relief fund@community foundation.net that's community foundation.net.
Lauren LaRosa
You know, they talk about rebuilding like, you know, they need to rebuild and prepare for these floods. You know, I was reading a lot of articles how, I was just saying, you know, Texas, you know, did little to brace for floods despite, you know, knowing the risk. Like they had like $50 billion in flood control needs, but lawmakers just devoted 1.4 billion, you know, to address those concerns. So when you talk about rebuilding, like, what exactly are you going to rebuild? Are you going to rebuild, you know, infrastructure that can, that can handle these type of floods?
Charlamagne Tha God
But that's what I said a couple of days ago. Remember what I said? You know, we keep having the same problems and I understand Mother nature is unpredictable, but when we still keep having these same flooding issues and same issues that seem like should be structurally fixed, it doesn't make sense.
Lauren LaRosa
So I hope when they talk about rebuilding, they're talking about actually fixing the problem. And Trump is going there, as you just said, Morgan, I just wonder how much the federal government is going to assist Texas in regards to covering these costs because they seem to be penny pinching when it comes to stuff like that.
DJ Envy
How is that even legal, y'? All, for them to have this amount of money and to not fully use what they need and to not fully prepare. Like, there aren't like checks and balances like inspectors or something. Like, how is that leaked? Like, how does that happen?
Lauren LaRosa
I have no idea.
Jess Hilarious
I was gonna say, well, you know, well, this administration decides to push the envelope a little bit. So there's that. But I'm not gonna get too much into that at 7, we'll talk about something breaking devastation, a terrible situation that's coming out of Baltimore. So y' all stick around for more.
Charlamagne Tha God
Front page news, all right? Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, call us up right now. Phone lines are wide open again, 800-585-1051. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest, Whether you're mad or blessed. I hate the way that you walk.

Morgan
Listen, I. I called for two things this morning, right? One, you know, if y'. All. I don't know if y' all know, but I'm from Norfolk, Virginia, baby. Titus Town, to be exact.
Lauren LaRosa
I thought you was from Philly.
DJ Envy
I thought you was from Philly, too.
Morgan
Yeah, yeah, my mother. Philly. So I've been living up here for 21 years now, but I'm from Virginia.
Lauren LaRosa
Is it true, Trav, that when you was a child, you tried to put your penis in the crack of the Liberty Bell?
Charlamagne Tha God
What?
Morgan
Listen down the police bomb for the clip. I'm from Virginia, baby.
Lauren LaRosa
Wa. Man, cut it out, man. I knew that.
DJ Envy
I knew the Virginia was coming out of you because eclipses is all over the place today.
Charlamagne Tha God
I never heard him say Virginia in his life as much as I talk about Hampton University in Hampton, Virginia.
Morgan
You are lying.
Charlamagne Tha God
Nobody remember that.
Morgan
I told you all the time, I'm from va.
Charlamagne Tha God
I didn't know that.
Lauren LaRosa
What about the Clips album, though? What are you about to say?
Morgan
I was gonna say drop one of the Clips bombs for the clips, man. Make sure y' all go listen and make sure y' all tune in, because, hey, it's. It's the clip. That's all you gotta say? Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
The clip's been doing this for 23 years, brother. I don't know if you know that.
Morgan
Can I say One more thing real quick, y'.
Lauren LaRosa
All.
Morgan
I was minding my business yesterday. Is this new queen I've been calling in lately, and they missed me saying that they not trash. And don't be calling them sis. But listen, I give the girls grace for their first time. Do not mention my name if it's not in a positive light.
Lauren LaRosa
Who you talking about, Stacey? You talking about Stacy?
Morgan
I'm talking to the new girl. To the new girls that's calling into the queen. If you're not even gonna mention my name, keep it cute.
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, that's all? Stacy mentioned your name. Stacy just wants you to eat his cupcakes, trap.
Morgan
Yeah, and I don't. I don't eat cupcake buck cake. There's a difference.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay.
Lauren LaRosa
I thought that's what y' all called him. Oh, but he said butt cakes. Oh, that's just nasty. That's just nasty.
Charlamagne Tha God
Now it's nasty.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm just saying that. But that's just nasty, guys.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right, well, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm Darling. I'm darling. Hey, what you doing, man? I'm Darling calling you.
Charlamagne Tha God
This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello? Who's this?
Sean Stone
Good morning. It's Latoya.
Charlamagne Tha God
Hey, Toya. Get it off your chest.
Sean Stone
Oh, my gosh. I want to give it. Get it off my chest. I've been a horrible friend for so long. My best friend told me about three months ago that I had been a horrible friend. And when I say a horrible friend, I've been a broken friend, exhausted friend. I sacrificed. I was tired, I was invisible, and I was empty. And I say that to say I showed up for those friends, but I wasn't my true self. I wasn't healed. I was a horrible friend. And I didn't see it the way she was telling me. Charlemagne. I have not been listening to the Breakfast Club as long as you guys have been on air. My mom passed in 2019.
Lauren LaRosa
Started.
Sean Stone
Thank you. Covid started. And so I started working from home. Charlemagne, when I tell you you have allowed God to use you because you have been my strength. I called you guys about a month ago, and I was saying, let them people be. When I tell y', all, God is really. I'm allowing God to work with me because I have a story to tell. I want to be able to tell. I want to show everybody how to be the best friend that you can be by healing yourself so you can show up for those people.
Lauren LaRosa
That's real.
Sean Stone
When I tell you, like when I tell you God is doing something. I have sat down so God can show me. I have been praying to God to be clear to me. I have been trying to call you guys yesterday because I have a plan. Charlemagne, please write my number down, because when you see me with these numbers and subscribers, you're gonna have my number. Can you please write my number down? I don't want you to help me right now.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, I'm gonna put you on hold. I don't want you to give your number out over there because then you'll have millions of people calling you. But we're gonna. I had him write your number off. The end. You know, I'm sending you nothing but love and healing energy and keep doing the work, because that is very true.
Sean Stone
And you said that, Charlemagne. Like, when I tell you, when I talk to. I have never been able to talk to my friends about God, ever. I haven't had those friends. I wasn't a good friend because they know. They know my faith in God. I grew up in church. I told the guy when I called, I said, I got a testimony I need to tell. Charlemagne, my testimony. I grew up in a Baptist church. When you talk about your mom a teacher, we need more of those teachers. We need God back in the school.
Morgan
Charlamagne.
Sean Stone
I have so many ideas. I'm from Rocky Mountain, North Carolina. I live in Raleigh right now.
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, we cousins.
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, you, you, you. Hold on.
Sean Stone
Yes.
Charlamagne Tha God
You said you got a podcast of subscribers. You said what people could touch into you.
Sean Stone
Yes. I'm telling you, I have a plan.
Nyla Simone
Well, hold on.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes, guys, hold on, okay?
Lauren LaRosa
Just hold on. Our producer's gonna get your information. We're not gonna leave you on hold. Our producer, Eddie will get your information. But, yes, you keep. You keep telling your story, man. I love hearing stuff like that. I really, really, truly do. Because. Because you know what she said? She said she realized she was self aware and realized she was the problem. So she went and did the work on herself, and now she want to tell her story. Everybody always want to blame everybody else for their issues. Nobody wants to look in the mirror and say, no, it's you. The problem is me.
Charlamagne Tha God
Lauren, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We got the ladies with Lauren coming up.
DJ Envy
We do, though. She got the people talking. She sat down With a British. And she said, this generation has no superstars. All right, so we're gonna get on into it.
Charlamagne Tha God
We'll get to that next.
DJ Envy
It was a great conversation.
Charlamagne Tha God
The Breakfast Club.
Lauren LaRosa
Morning, everybody.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.
Jess Hilarious
Lauren becoming a straight fan.
Charlamagne Tha God
She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.
Lauren LaRosa
She gets the details.
DJ Envy
I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.
Lauren LaRosa
She be having the latest on with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes she has a little bit of everything. Oh, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club. Talk to me.
DJ Envy
All right, y'.
Lauren LaRosa
All.
DJ Envy
So our girl Doi is British Vogue's August 2025 cover star. And in this. In this cover feature that she's doing, they're talking a lot about her career and just fame in general and where she's been, where she's going. But they bring up. Or she brings up a pretty interesting topic. So throughout the interview, they're interviewing her while she's rehearsing for U performance. And while rehearsing, she's just reflecting, and she says, we don't really have a superstar of this generation. Generation just yet, because there hasn't been enough time. When I look at pop culture right now, I'm just trying to figure out, okay, what does a Dolce superstar look like? What does it take to make that? I have no clue. I'm still figuring that out. And then she goes back to rehearsal. But it made people start having a conversation about what is a superstar. And people. I mean, I just said in the room, I feel like Dolce is a superstar. But when you have a conversation about.
Lauren LaRosa
She'S not a superstar, yeah, she's a star on the ride.
Charlamagne Tha God
She's a star, not a superstar.
Lauren LaRosa
She's a star. She's not a superstar.
Charlamagne Tha God
When I think of superstar, I think of Beyonce, I think of Michael Jackson, I think of Taylor Swift, artists.
DJ Envy
On that level, I. I can agree with that. I think for me, I just. I like Dolce's vulnerability. They went back to her BET Awards acceptance speech. They talk about her Grammy acceptance speech. When she's talking to the young girls and telling them anything is possible. But a BET member, she says that it wasn't planned. They were just live. And she talks about this in an article. She was on the red carpet and saw the protest and decided to get up there and call out the administration and all these things. And, you know, she has these vlogs that you can clearly watch. She talks about in Vogue that she chose not to take them down because people need to see her at her lowest moments. And they compared those speeches to like the Andre 3000 Source Awards 95 moment where he was talking about the south has something to say.
Lauren LaRosa
That's two totally different things. Like, Andre 3000 was talking about rap music and talking about the south has something to say in hip hop. What the hell that got to do with social issues? I think the reason I would compare what Dolce did to Kanye when he said George Bush don't care about black people or something like that. Like, I would compare it to something like that, that she was. She was discussing a social issue, not something that was going on in music.
DJ Envy
Well, the reason why I think they compared the two was just because people.
Lauren LaRosa
They're talking because they're retarded. Listen, let me tell you something.
DJ Envy
Use that word.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm. I'm not a superstar. You know, it is a very interesting conversation. What I would ask Dolce is, though, when she says generation, what generation is she talking about? Because there are still superstars, but a lot of them are grandfathered in from an era where the superstar was very definable. Okay.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's a different time.
Lauren LaRosa
Yes. Celebrity was different. You know, celebrity wasn't as accessible. Not to mention the barrier of entry to be a celebrity was way difficult. Like, you actually had to have a unique talent or skill set to get on tv, to get in film, to get a record deal. Nowadays, because of social media, anybody can have some sort of relevancy. Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Overnight success. But let me ask you a question. Would you consider Nicki Minaj a superstar? Yes, I would.
DJ Envy
Yes.
Charlamagne Tha God
Cardi B. Superstar. Yes.
DJ Envy
Yes, yes.
Charlamagne Tha God
Drake a superstar.
Lauren LaRosa
Yes. Kendrick Lamar? Superstar. Scissor superstar. Yes. Gracie Abrams.
DJ Envy
I have a question then. Right. Because all the people you guys just named Cardi B in particular, started on social media, where she was very consistent, she was accessible. But now she's kind of went to that point where it also been around.
Lauren LaRosa
For almost a decade.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
DJ Envy
Yes. Okay. So time. Is it so outside of time, though? Because Dolce is literally saying she's trying to figure out what takes her to that point. What is it, though? Because there's a lot of people who are big and relevant and have been around, but they're not superstars. So what's the.
Lauren LaRosa
That's. Well, yes, because everybody. Every. It's always been like that. You have stars, then you have superstars. Michael Jackson was a different type of superstar. Prince was a different type of superstar. Beyonce is a different type of superstar, but then you have stars underneath that. Why do we act like we don't have opening acts for a reason?
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't.
Lauren LaRosa
Why do we act like we don't have headliners for a reason?
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't know.
Lauren LaRosa
And also, that's what defines, you know, superstar to me in a lot of ways. Like, you know, can you pack an arena? You know what I mean?
DJ Envy
Yes.
Lauren LaRosa
Can you. Can you be in a movie and it go number one at the box office, you know, that weekend?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
You know, so what I would tell Dolce is just. Just keep working.
DJ Envy
Right?
Lauren LaRosa
Let's keep working and have an air of mystery about you, you know, I mean, because I believe that since all of us.
Charlamagne Tha God
She has that already to a certain.
Lauren LaRosa
Extent, but I believe that since all of us share the same space as far as these social platforms, everybody thinks they're a star in their own mind. So they don't necessarily look at people as superstars or even stars. And, you know, a lot of these superstars move very regular.
DJ Envy
True. I know we've been talking about the clips this morning because they're here on the show this morning. Point of view, that was one of their biggest things in that song. We talked about that too. Them just talking about how, like, industry is different and people are popcorn. There's a microphone wave situation happening right now when it comes to talent.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, we're pushing.
Charlamagne Tha God
People are chasing trends.
DJ Envy
Yes.
Lauren LaRosa
60 day stars. That's what he said.
Charlamagne Tha God
5,500 for the walk through.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, it's a lot of money. I ain't.
DJ Envy
Well, in other news as we wrap up this hour, speaking of music and stars, Justin Bieber dropped new music today. He has an album out.
Lauren LaRosa
Superstar.
DJ Envy
I was going to ask y'.
Lauren LaRosa
All.
DJ Envy
Y' all think Justin Bieber is a superstar.
Charlamagne Tha God
Hands down, he's a superstar.
Lauren LaRosa
How raggy y' all think he'd be looking on? That man is a superstar.
DJ Envy
Yes, he is. Yes. So people are excited about that because it has been some time since Justin Bieber dropped. I took listen to the music this morning. It's good. It's Justin Bieber. But there was a report that TMZ did an exclusive of Justin Bieber. It's finally settled with his at one point manager, Scooter Braun. So for those of you guys who don't know, Scooter Braun and Justin Bieber have been going back and forth behind the scenes.
Charlamagne Tha God
Scooter Braun and. And us. Hey, what up, y'?
Lauren LaRosa
All?
Charlamagne Tha God
It's DJ Envy. The first few months of 2025 have been quite a year. Work deadlines, group chats you can't escape, and your weird cousin's latest overshare. It's a lot. But here's some good news.

Jess Hilarious
Panoramic moonroof, ambient lighting, bows and massaging leather appointed seats are optional features.
Charlamagne Tha God
She founded Justin Bieber.
DJ Envy
Yes.
Charlamagne Tha God
And it was signed to him. So Gabe.
DJ Envy
Yes. And Scooter Braun is a guy. He has what, Tori Kelly. He's worked with a lot of different people. Little John, but. So sources with direct knowledge are telling TMZ that Justin and Scooter Braun settled on a lot of money that they're alleging that Justin Bieber owed Scooter Braun. We're told, or they're told. They're told that Justin Bieber has to cough up $26 million as in a part of an advancement he got for his justice tour. Now, this is a thing because there's been a lot of rumors around why people think Justin Bieber has been having all these, like, issues, quote unquote, that we've been seeing when he like went off on the media or whatever. And people have been saying it's because of money. So now we have this story about the money that he's gonna have to pay out.
Lauren LaRosa
Now, TMZ, those are superstar problems, right?
Charlamagne Tha God
27.
DJ Envy
Very much so. Very much so. And I want to mention too, on Justin Bieber's new album, he uses that moment where he runs into the media in a skit that he does with Drew Ski is called Standing on business. And I thought that that was really smart as well too.
Charlamagne Tha God
This was a surprise album or did people know this album was coming out?
DJ Envy
No, I mean, he. We knew like, but it wasn't like he. There's been no rollout or anything. It was just announced. Announced and then it came. But there have been rumors that he was working on music.
Charlamagne Tha God
Gotcha.
DJ Envy
Yes, But. Yes. So, yeah. Superstar problem. Justin Bieber. But apparently him and Scooter Braun are figuring this out.
Lauren LaRosa
But. But that he's not Dochi's generation, though. No, I guess that's the only thing I would say. Just going back to that. Yeah. Generation. Because she probably could be right about that. But then, even in this generation, superstar looks different. You know, it looks. It just looks different. Stardom star look different. One of the Kaiser. Net.
Charlamagne Tha God
He's a superstar.
DJ Envy
Oh, my God.
Lauren LaRosa
I think Kai is one of the biggest stars.
Charlamagne Tha God
He's a superstar. Absolutely. Hands down.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. I mean, listen, the guy called the riot in Times Square. Yeah, I mean, not Times Square. We're in New York somewhere. You know how many. When you see people. When you see a person show up and cause a riot, that's superstars. Yes, I agree. You know.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right, well, that is the latest with Laura. Don't forget, on Friday.
Lauren LaRosa
Maybe it's no superstar. Singers are artists of this generation.
Charlamagne Tha God
There's pop artists. I take my daughters to see them all the time.
Lauren LaRosa
I just don't know their name. Yes. Gracie Abrams.
Charlamagne Tha God
What's the other girl with a catalog?
Lauren LaRosa
Dolce generation. I don't know.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't know either.
DJ Envy
No, I think Olivia. Those are before Dochi.
Lauren LaRosa
I don't remember.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't know.
Lauren LaRosa
All right, well, I'm 47, guys.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's Friday, so Charlamagne.
DJ Envy
I gotta soak them.
Charlamagne Tha God
He allows you guys to do Donkey of the Day. So if you want to give somebody donkey of the day, 800-585-1051. It could be whoever you want. He just wants you to say their names. That's simple.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. Call up 1-800-585-1051. I look like that because that little Kobe cough you did. That was.
Charlamagne Tha God
That little.
Lauren LaRosa
Was that.
Charlamagne Tha God
You got to keep it on a low, too.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. You've been doing that all morning. Fighting that little cough. I don't like people fighting their cough.
DJ Envy
That's a lie. I have not been in here fighting no cough all morning. We gotta wrap up Red. But I've been fighting the car.
Charlamagne Tha God
Coughing.
Lauren LaRosa
What's going on?
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, my goodness.
DJ Envy
You. We gotta wrap up. Y' all up here. Lying. That is not superstar behavior.
Charlamagne Tha God
And clips will be joining us a little bit. We're gonna get into Eclipse joint off the album. It's called Chains and Whips featuring Kendrick Lamar. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back in some front page news. What's up, Morgan?
Lauren LaRosa
Hey.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah, I thought Jess would be here today. You know, she's from Baltimore. But there's a devastating situation that's happening in Baltimore right now. At least 25 people have been hospitalized following a mass overdose event in West Baltimore.
Lauren LaRosa
What?
Jess Hilarious
Exactly. I'm like, I've never heard of this before, right? So five people are in critical condition. Fire and EMS crews were called to the scene Thursday morning to find several overdose victims and began to search for others. Now, Fire Chief James Wallace gave an update on the situation, but he also disclaimed that the scene is evolving. Let's take a listen to his comments.
Morgan
Transported 15 patients to the hospital. Five of those are priority one patients, meaning they're critical. We are still maintaining command and control of this area because we do continue to find that we are still having some overdoses in the area, so.
Jess Hilarious
Wallace goes on to say they don't know what specifically caused the overdose. Police are treating it as a crime scene based on the size and scale of this incident. Now, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott also said officials have not determined the exact source of the overdose and the incident remains under investigation. Scott goes on to say first responders and community partners remain on the ground distributing Narcan test strips and other harm reduction resources. This is something I've never heard of before. A mass overdose.
Lauren LaRosa
Well, I mean, I guess they said five people, so I guess that's considered mass because I have, you know, in recent years, you know, heard cases about groups of people doing fentanyl and a couple of them dying, overdosing, you know, but I guess math, I guess mass is, you know, they tend to use.
Jess Hilarious
The number six or more, but it's five people in critical and at least 25 people have been hospitalized. And that was as of yesterday when I gathered this information that those numbers could up end. And I would hope not. But it is a possibility that those numbers could increase today.
Lauren LaRosa
I also wonder what the age range was. That's the other thing I'm thinking about.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah, Elsewhere or switching gears. New Jersey Senator Cory Booker is looking to ban Immigration and Customs Enforcement, also known as ICE agents, from concealing their identities when conducting arrests. There have been a number of videos that have surfaced showing mask ICE agents and unmarked vehicles taking people into custody, of which, of course, you know, would scare anybody because you're like well, who are they and what are they doing here? Now, Senator Booker and fellow Democratic Senator Alex Padilla of California, where there have been plenty of raids, they just introduced a bill that bans ICE agents from wearing masks and requires them to display their agency name and either their name or badge number. Let's take a listen to Cory Booker's comments.
Morgan
It's called the Visible Act. And so our bill is trying to actually protect ICE agents, protect the public.
Jess Hilarious
Now, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says when officers conduct these operations, they clearly identify themselves as law enforcement and the nation needs to support them and not attack them for doing their job. She went on to say that the reason they wear masks is because activists are spreading personal information online. So it's a. It's a way of protecting them in a sense as well. So let's take a listen to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's comments.
DJ Envy
These Democrat leaders are really, really elevating.
Lauren LaRosa
The emotion out there.
DJ Envy
These ICE officers are going after murders and rape and they're threatening their families. They're talking about kidnapping their families. It's extremely dangerous.
Jess Hilarious
So Noem did not address recent reports of criminals impersonating ICE agents while masked. Of course, this happened in February where a man in North Carolina is accused of sexually assaulting a woman and threatening to deport her if she resisted. So I will continue to follow this proposed legislation and communities that are actually, just so you know, there are communities that are actually tracking ICE in a neighborhood near you, and there are a number of acts. That's the apps that will alert you if ICE is in the area. I'm not going to say which apps those are. Please just do your due diligence and go search for them. They exist, Morgan.
Lauren LaRosa
They already know. You know, it's so funny. You know, it's so funny.
DJ Envy
I've been trying to help people.
Jess Hilarious
I don't know, like some of them are better than others. I'm just going to say, you know, and then people watch the show but might not know.
Lauren LaRosa
I just think it's hilarious when people want you to get on these apps like Signal and they'll be like, these are these private apps that we can have private conversations on. Who the hell you think making these apps apps? You think the feds and everybody else don't know about these apps?
Charlamagne Tha God
They know about every last apparel.
Lauren LaRosa
You've never heard of Telegram.
DJ Envy
Telegram is one of them.
Lauren LaRosa
I remember when Signal first came out, all my political friends was like, we should be on Signal having these conversations. If I wanted to trap you stupid ass people. I would create an app and say, here's an app where you can go on it and have private conversations and nobody will know about it. Yeah, that's the one we won't monitor.
Nyla Simone
Oh, my goodness.
Lauren LaRosa
Come on, man.
Jess Hilarious
Well, Ice Block is the one that seems to be most popular.
DJ Envy
I'm just saying, y' all ain't name.
Jess Hilarious
It, but, you know, I'm gonna put it out there since y' all want to talk me on it.
Charlamagne Tha God
But WhatsApp at one time. Listen, if you do stuff on WhatsApp, nobody knows.
Lauren LaRosa
I dare you to pull up on ISIS block. I dare you to go stand on Ice's block and see what happens and.
DJ Envy
See if the block is hot.
Charlamagne Tha God
You better not hear me.
Jess Hilarious

Jess Hilarious
Have a great, great weekend.
Lauren LaRosa
And I want to tell people, I know, you know, we got the Clips coming up next. But I want to let everybody know, today is Friday, so we do the people's donkey on Friday. So if you got somebody you want to give the credit they deserve for being stupid, if you want to give somebody the biggest hee haw, call us right now, now, 1-800-585-1051. But first up, we gotta talk to the Clips, man.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's right. We'll do that when we come back. So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got some special guests in the building.
Lauren LaRosa
The legendary the Clips.
Charlamagne Tha God
What's up, fellas?
Nyla Simone
What's up? Is it the Clips or is it Clip? Okay, because I say the clips, too.
H
Nah, it's just clips.
Nyla Simone
You call that shot? So it's just clips.
Lauren LaRosa
What's the origins of the name for people who don't know?
H
So that came from Full Eclipse. I came up with it, and at the time, Fat Joe had the Full Eclipse crew, so we just shortened it to Clips.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay, now I want to go back, right? Because you guys have been a long time. What got you into rapping and to form the group Clips for people that don't know.
H
Always, always been a fan of hip hop like anybody else. You know, my older brother was into the whole cardboard box break dancing, boombox rapping. When you had to push play and record and rap directly into the box.
Lauren LaRosa
Absolutely.
H
And, yeah, man, just. Just coming up under that. And we went to Chad's house one time, and Pusha, he wrote his first rap, and Pharrell was like, y' all should, you know, be a group. His first rap was incredible. But before that, it was just me rapping over there.
Charlamagne Tha God
Now, when y' all first met Chad and Pharrell, right?
Lauren LaRosa
Yep.
Charlamagne Tha God
Y' all are totally opposite. So how did y' all even meet and even learn each other? Cause growing up in Norfolk and Virginia, like, it's totally two different sides. So what made y' all even say, you know what? Let's connect with these guys who were wearing tight shirts at the time and tight pants that looked like skateboards that look nothing like y'. All.
Lauren LaRosa
They might have been serving them.
Nyla Simone
No, they were serving them.
Charlamagne Tha God
So what made y' all say, you know what? Let's link with them and start this whole rapping?
H
You know, actually, so I was a dj, DJ Alex in Virginia beach, lived down the street from me. And we went out and we rented a drum machine, and we got the drum machine, but we couldn't work it. And, you know, we had to turn it back in soon. We had paid for it, but, you know, we was gonna have to turn it back in before we even had a chance to use it. And he was like, you know, let's take it to my homie's house. And we went over there, and it happened to be Chad, and he knew how to work it. And, you know, that's just stuff that we was doing before.
Lauren LaRosa
Clip.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's where it started.
Nyla Simone
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
So when did y' all take it serious? When did you say, you know what? This rap thing is something I'm gonna take serious. I'm gonna get off the street to say, this is what it is?
Nyla Simone
I have to say, that was in meeting Pharrell. It was the Teddy Riley coming to Virginia. You know, we began to see that it was a real thing, that music was actually attainable in arm's reach. I mean, we seeing the cars, we seeing the Ferraris, we seeing Michael Jackson in Virginia Beach. You know, we're seeing MCs. HOV. Everybody was coming down. And then at the same time, we had, you know, Timbaland and Missy. They was doing they thing. They were. You know, they had left home and went to Jersey and was working with Jodeci. But these are all our childhood, you know, high school, school friends. So we got to see it from a lot of different angles that, you know, music was Possible.
Lauren LaRosa
Why Virginia don't get the. Like, the credit for being a hip hop hotbed or just a black music hotbed?
Nyla Simone
Well, I think a lot of people have. Everybody who's made it in Virginia actually had to leave Virginia to make it. I don't think any one particular artist of any of us. None of us broke in Virginia, so we always broke. Like, clips broke in Philly. You know, everybody broke somewhere else and.
Lauren LaRosa
Clips broke in Philly. I never heard that, man.
H
Oh, no.
Nyla Simone
Yeah, Clips broke in Philly, man.
Lauren LaRosa
Really?
H
Yeah.
Nyla Simone
Shout out, Cosmic Cav. Yeah. Yeah. Clips broke in Philly.
Lauren LaRosa
I don't know what record was it.
Nyla Simone
The funeral or Grinding?
Lauren LaRosa
Grinding. Okay.
Nyla Simone
Yeah. Grinding, Broken. Philly.
Lauren LaRosa
Got you.
Charlamagne Tha God
Now, do you remember when Pharrell gave you that beat for grinding? I remember the first time I heard it. It was confusing. Yeah, it was confused. I was confused. So when he first gave it, how did you know that was the beat?
Nyla Simone
You probably got the CD that I was handing out. Yes, I did. Yeah, I believe you did. It was. It kind of took us back. Because you got to think at that time, Pharrell was singing on every hook. It was whether it was Mr. Cool and whoever, Right? So, you know, this is our first joint. And he like, yo, this the one. And we, like. We want you singing, like, sing. You better tap or do something. And, you know, he was like, nah, I'm telling you, this is. This the future. This is what it is. And he was right.
H
And it was confusing because we actually wrote to it twice.
Nyla Simone
Three times, I think. I think I got three joints on that joint.
Charlamagne Tha God
I still can't blend it to this day, because I don't know what was it, the. Where the beat and the snare go at the same time to actually blend on it, you just gotta go.
Nyla Simone
That's crazy. Yeah, that's crazy for you to say that.
Morgan
Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
To this day, I mean, he's not the greatest dj. Y' all know that.
Nyla Simone
Envy up there, Envy up there. I just left Vegas with Envy rocking that joint.
Lauren LaRosa
He was smoking that.
Charlamagne Tha God
Thanks.
Lauren LaRosa
Thanks. You know on the album, Alice, you said you've been both. Mason Bethes.
H
Yeah, man.
Lauren LaRosa
For people who don't know what that line means, expound on.
H
Yeah, I just feel like I understood and walked a similar path. Like Mace, you know, to be in this industry and then to have a real live revelation of God and who he is, you know, and then have to navigate your way as far as navigating, not so much because I knew that I had to chill, take a step back and I also want to give you y' all flowers, too, because y' all were still messing with me during that time. You let me come in here and, you know, promote the documentary and, you know, my solo projects and everything, so. Yeah, I appreciate that. But, yeah, I feel like I understand seeing a lot of the same things that. That Mace seen.
Lauren LaRosa
I bought that up because, you know, that's.
H
They actually called me Mace in the club. We was in a club in D.C. and they was like, we got Pusha T and Mason.
Lauren LaRosa
Damn. What? But you ain't been around for a while, though.
H
Yeah, no, I'm cool with it all.
Morgan
Yeah.
H
Yeah, I'm cool with it all.
Lauren LaRosa
I mean, that's why I brought it up. Cause that's what ultimately caused the clips to, you know, end for that fifth last period of time.
Nyla Simone
That's right.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
So what got y' all back? What was the call that said, I wanna do this again?
H
There were a few baby steps. Going out to Wyoming and, you know, working on Use this Gospel with. Yeah. With my brother. I always knew that we could do it, but I just knew I needed a sit down period, you know what I'm saying? What else did we do? We did push his album. I pray for you.
Nyla Simone
We did the Nego album.
H
The Nego album. Punch Bowl.
Nyla Simone
Yeah. So those were things I could ask for that I knew weren't, you know, just solid no's, man. From there, it was just like, what we gonna do?
Lauren LaRosa
Well, what was the exact moment, though? Cause y' all were on two completely different life paths. So what was the exact moment that said, okay, it's time to do another album?
H
You know, when we were doing they use this gospel and Punch bowl and push his album or whatever. I had asked my dad, I was like, you know, what do you think about me rapping again? And he said. He said, son, I think you've been too hard on yourself. And my dad's a deacon, you know, like, he was a deacon. So to hear him say that I am, like, word. That's how you feel like, you know.
Lauren LaRosa
Answer one of my questions. I was gonna ask you about that because you talk about that on Birds Don't Sing, Right? And I just thought that was such a powerful thing.
Charlamagne Tha God
Just.
Lauren LaRosa
Just to explain. Like, you was going through his, you know, dresser drawers, seeing his notes. But then he. Y' all had conversations about you rapping again. I was gonna ask you what were those conversations?
H
Yeah, yeah, we. Everything was the way it lined up. It told the whole story, and it let me know that God is intentional. These things don't just be happening to us the way, you know, we think. God is very gracious, and he sets you up. He knows what you can take. He knows how much to put on you. He knows the order in which to put, you know, things in for you. So I just know that he's in control all the time. And the conversations with that record, you know, Pusha talking to my mom and me talking to my dad, and being able to document those last conversations, even those conversations, was a type of preparation, you know, getting you ready for what was about to take place. So, like, I'm. I'm cool with it all.
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, condolences, first and foremost.
Lauren LaRosa
Thank you. Thank you.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know, I was.
H
Thank you.
Charlamagne Tha God
When I was in Vegas, you know, I was with family members of yours, and what I like to do is pull them to the side and just have conversations. I knew y' all was coming up for an interview and trying to get tea. Yeah, of course. And one of them was like.
Lauren LaRosa
Now.
Charlamagne Tha God
We were talking about the album. This is before I heard the album. And he was like. He was like, yo, the best thing about it, he was like, I had their mom in the car. And he was like, the greatest thing that ever happened is the two boys are back together rapping. So how was that feeling of knowing that mom was just super duper happy that her two sons were back rapping?
Nyla Simone
Man, you know, she. That was always a big thing, you know, for me as a soloist. She would always be like, I want you with him. Yeah. I want your brother with you. I want him back out there with you. Probably just to, you know, look over me, watch over me. But that was always her thing. She was huge on, like, us just being together.
Lauren LaRosa
How did y' all know y' all had to start the album with a dedication to your parents?
Nyla Simone
Cause it was the hardest record to make. Like, it was the hardest record to make, so.
Charlamagne Tha God
Felt that one the most on the album.
Nyla Simone
Yeah. So finally, like, when we cracked that code, you know, we were. You know, we put in the order, and we was like, man, nah, this. This. This has to start. Like, this has to start. The album, it was. It was polarizing, the. The response, you know, just in the creation of it, man. Everybody who heard it, there were people in there like, you know, we recorded it in the LV headquarters. So it's a room, and it's. You know, it's open. The mics are like, this ain't no booth. You record like this, you look outside, you look through that window right There. And it's not a window. It's just an open space. Somebody with a sewing machine, somebody with, you know, bags, shoes, whatever. And while we're doing this in real time, everybody's in tears. Like, everybody just, you know, they're watching it. By the time we finish it, it's like, you know, just like any other record. It's like, man, you know, we. We cracked the code on it, like, we're satisfied, but it was just so hard to do. And everybody's always like, you know, everybody want to put their hardest record first. And I'm like, nah, man, this is the hardest record. And I want to see how it, like, really touches people, you know, from. From the jump and then get into everything else else.
Jess Hilarious
Will we get a visual for this video?
Nyla Simone
I mean, it's already shot. Okay. It's already shot. Look at you.
DJ Envy
You smiling like you already knew.
Nyla Simone
You talk to the fan.
Charlamagne Tha God
But I think I pull everybody to the side. Definitely.
Nyla Simone
Ass.
Morgan
The.
Charlamagne Tha God
The other day, they said I was glazing the clips, right?
Lauren LaRosa
Why?
Charlamagne Tha God
Cuz what I said was.
Nyla Simone
I said.
Charlamagne Tha God
I said something to this fact. I said, push. As if he hears anybody go at him. He has five records on the side or five verses, just in case. I said, I just know because I know who he is and what he is. Is that true?
Nyla Simone
No, man.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm not.
Nyla Simone
Listen, man, you know, he said no. He said, now he looks good. Like the skin always fresh. I like skin compliments. I do like skin compliments. I'm gonna you tell.
Charlamagne Tha God
But when it comes to rappers and sometimes they throw stones at you, do you have something in the stash for each and every one of them, man?
Nyla Simone
I mean, I think, you know, just me being a rap artist and me being an emcee, that's just second nature. And usually most people who throw stones, man, I mean, nobody's perfect. So, I mean, I can dissect anybody just like they could dissect me. But I try not to engage too much. Like, I've done that. Like, I've done a lot of it. You know what I'm saying? I've done it with the best in the biggest. Like, I've done it. So it's like you can't just entertain everything because everybody and everybody's not good. This is a new day and a new era where, like, you know, just clicks and clickbait and people just say things for attention. And it's like, you just can't entertain everything, man. You just can't.
Lauren LaRosa
I feel like you've been trying to catch a body. Since the Story of Adam, I really.
Nyla Simone
I've been trying to catch a body.
Lauren LaRosa
Well, you caught one. I'm thinking, oh, that was a body. I think those would shots directly at you. But you. You were surgical with it. You said at the end, I'm peel back the legs real slow. But I feel like you really wanted to go there with somebody for the longest.
Nyla Simone
Nah, man, Nah, nah. I mean, you know, it's never a man.
Charlamagne Tha God
I got.
Nyla Simone
For real. I have a lot to rap about. I got a lot to rap about. I got a lot. A lot of content. The creativity is ever flowing, and it don't ever have to be about an individual. It don't have to be, like, not for me. Like, I mean, like, I feel like this album is incredible, and I don't think it's really dialed anywhere.
Lauren LaRosa
You could get an accessory to murder charge, though. Because when you listen to Euphoria, there's a lot of things that you laid, you know, you laid down that Kendrick used for Euphoria and I think just.
Nyla Simone
Used in the battle, period, man. You know, I. I think. I think, you know, great, great lyricists just, you know, tune into the obvious.
Charlamagne Tha God
Did y' all ever speak during that battle or not?
Lauren LaRosa
Hell, yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, yeah, I did speak during the battle.
Lauren LaRosa
That's my guy accessory. Accessory. My guy access. I knew it. I knew it. I knew it.
DJ Envy
When do you pick and choose when to say something about something, though? Because you sit on a lot of stuff for a long time.
Nyla Simone
Yeah, I mean, I'm. I'm always like that. That just comes with my position in the game and, like, just what. Where I am as an artist. Like, man, I don't. You know, it's not always a. A radio record that I have. It's not always, you know. You know, I'm not putting out music constantly. You know what I'm saying? Every five minutes, a new record. I feel like, you know, things happen. You gotta store it. You gotta store it. You gotta craft it. You gotta make it right. You gotta set the platform, set the stage.
Charlamagne Tha God
Now break down for it to hit. The situation with Def Jam. You guys were on Def Jam?
Lauren LaRosa
Yes.
Charlamagne Tha God
Decided to leave.
Nyla Simone
Yeah, you crazy too, man. You can sit up here and tell some. Def Jam. You was like, yo, Def Jam. Def Jam. Don't care about your project. You crazy. Crazy.
Charlamagne Tha God
So what happened?
Nyla Simone
You honest, man, man, he started.
Lauren LaRosa
I was like, I'm not gonna do that to her. Like, what is you. If you're not up here to talk about your music, what are we gonna be talking about, right?
Charlamagne Tha God
And I actually left that day because we didn't send album. He still wanted to do it, but.
DJ Envy
I was pushing for her because I love Coco.
Nyla Simone
Yeah, yeah, she dope.
DJ Envy
If we being honest, though, because listening to the project now and knowing the background with y' all in Def Jam, you, I don't understand why they would let a project like this go.
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, listen, so what was the call when you handed in the album and they called and said, we can't put this out. We can't clear this record. What was that call like?
Nyla Simone
I mean, it was. You know what it was? It was something that I wasn't really dealing with firsthand. They were, like, speaking to my management, you know, Then it got. It got a little dicey. To where? To the point they weren't. They wouldn't text or email. Send these things in email. They would, like, only talk on the phone. And, you know, they would instruct not to email us back and forth these, you know, that type of correspondence. I can only assume that it was just the optics with everything they got going on, with litigation, lawsuits and all of that. The optics of clips Kendrick together. Because that's when it all happened. We don't really deal with the label that much anyway, outside of nothing, actually. Yeah, we don't deal with the label. Like, we. We go make our album and then we come and bring the album back.
Lauren LaRosa
Right? But y'.
Morgan
All.
Lauren LaRosa
You and Kendrick have worked together before. Y' all got a classic together, if you ask me. Nostalgia. So it's just like, what's the difference?
Nyla Simone
Oh, it's a different day. It wasn't. That was back then.
Lauren LaRosa
But y' all wasn't even shooting that.
Nyla Simone
Dude, it doesn't matter.
Lauren LaRosa
That's crazy.
Charlamagne Tha God
When you wanted to leave, you call hov, and then the first rumor was they just let you go for free. And we was like, that can't be true.
Nyla Simone
No, no, no, no, no, no. He had to pay. He had to pay.
Charlamagne Tha God
So you reached out to HOV and Hove, said absolutely positive.
Nyla Simone
Steven did shout out to Steven. Yeah, Steven. Steven reached out to him. There were other labels in the bidding. And he just called Hope, like, yo, I think there was a. There was a. There was a. An approval process between one of the labels or something. Took a little long. And he went and asked ho. And Hope was like, look, yeah, let's do this now. Like 24 hours. Maybe. Maybe 48 hours. I never seen lawyer work like this that fast. Yeah, I didn't know it even happened like that.
Lauren LaRosa
And what Record was ho supposed to be on.
Nyla Simone
On this project, he was saying chains and whips.
H
Mike Tyson.
Nyla Simone
Mike Tyson blow to the face. You know, hov had the album, so, you know, so be it. Yeah, it was. It was all for him to. Whatever he wanted to do.
H
Oh, he's supposed to be on.
Nyla Simone
So be it.
H
Yeah, that was one of the options.
Nyla Simone
Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. And nothing moved his spirit.
Nyla Simone
Hey, man, I don't know, man. I don't know, man.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know, we're still kicking it with the clips.
Nyla Simone
Jess, how do you feel when people leak music? Like, when people release your music prematurely?
H
Yo, you know, the game goes how it goes, and that's how we maneuver. We navigate everything. I'm not going to sit up and be upset about anything. You know, that happens when we get in there and we create and we make our music and we do what we do. What else you going to do? What else can you do other than that? You know what I'm saying?
Nyla Simone
And.
H
And I stand on our product, and I love it. And it's good for fans to get things sometimes. So it's cool. Like, as long as they enjoy it, it's good. Yeah.
DJ Envy
Did y' all ever think about trying to get another Kendrick first once that leaves leaked before the album actually, like, dropped?
Nyla Simone
Yeah, man, we try to get all Kendrick verses. Why not?
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, y' all kind of. Y' all knew playing that song in Paris, everybody's phone out, it was going. Y' all had to know that.
Nyla Simone
Yeah, you know, it's part of it.
H
Going back to what you said about.
Nyla Simone
When you went to Wyoming to do use this gospel, by the way, the hardest song on. On that album.
Lauren LaRosa
How do y' all feel about Kanye now?
Nyla Simone
Do y' all feel sadness or sympathy for him?
Jess Hilarious
We all see him now.
Lauren LaRosa
No.
Nyla Simone
No.
Lauren LaRosa
Talk to your brother.
H
No, no, no, no, no, no. All I'm gonna say. And I'm gonna say that I think this goes for. For anybody, it's crazy. When you have a true revelation of God, it is radical because when the scales fall off your eyes, you. Do you want to run and tell everybody what you. What you witness or. Yo, we've been missing it this whole time. You know, it's how. It's how I felt. But once you get that, you gotta sit down for a minute. You can't get the revelation and then try to keep going. In this world, the epitome of the gospel is denying yourself. That's why Christ got on the cross and gave up his flesh. So you have to be willing to give it up so you can learn and then let God restore you and rebuild you. You, you know, correctly. Doesn't mean anybody is a perfect person. Or, or you can't even try to have the facade of, okay, I'm safe now, now I'm perfect.
Nyla Simone
Nah, it just.
H
It just doesn't work like that.
Nyla Simone
So how do you deal with it?
Lauren LaRosa
Push.
Charlamagne Tha God
Cause deal with Kanye because, you know, you're not the type of person to hold your tongue. You know, you don't hold your word. So when some of the stuff that he did that might not have aligned what you.
Lauren LaRosa
You thought.
Charlamagne Tha God
Did y' all have those conversations?
Nyla Simone
Well, I mean, you know, I spoke on it. I feel like that's. That was.
Charlamagne Tha God
Hey, what up, y'?
Lauren LaRosa
All?
Charlamagne Tha God
It's DJ envy. The first few months, five, have been quite a year. Work deadlines, group chats you can't escape, and your weird cousin's latest overshare. It's a lot. But here's some good news.

Jess Hilarious
Panoramic moonroof, ambient lighting, bows, and massaging leather.
Charlamagne Tha God
Appointed seats are optional features.
Nyla Simone
The beginning of our fallout.
H
He sits on a lot of miscarriages of justice.
DJ Envy
I've seen it.
H
You know what I'm saying? I. I hear things and things being said and I see, you know, his, his reserve. You know, I, I admire his restraint. People, by the time he jumps out the window, you think he's going overboard. But I, I'm telling you as knowing my brother, he sits on a lot.
DJ Envy
I saw you say you hate Kanye's leadership and you got away from that because. Got away from that community that he built because of the feeling over there, right? What was that, like, last straw of like, nah, I can't no more.
Nyla Simone
I think for me, it was somewhere around the Atlanta The. The dome, the locked in. When everybody was locked in the dome and we squad and we working and we doing what we doing. It's just all about the squad. And I kind of just felt like, you know, I would, you know, I would have to leave and go do things shows, whatever the case may be. I would come back and the energy would just be different. You know, there were conversations being had. You know, this is. This is after Adidon and everything else. And you know, was like, man, I was doing self serving things and it was just crazy. It was just a lot of like, you know, backbiting and things like that. And I'm like, damn, damn. This is, this is for the squad, I thought. But, you know, it ended up not being.
Charlamagne Tha God
Talk publicly negative about you. We heard him say about Sean. We heard him say who? John Legend. Yay.
Nyla Simone
Oh, no, for sure he has. Oh yeah, for sure he has. He put on. Remember he put on a little mask. He was like screaming in him.
Lauren LaRosa
Define what is culturally inappropriate. Oh, man.
Nyla Simone
Yeah. No, listen, man. Okay, so during. During just the session, whether it was a beat, whether it was, you know, just the freestyles before and making the songs, whatever the case may be, you know, we would get hype about just like man, hard or whatever, whatever it was at the time. And I forgot who said it, but. Was Mike.
H
Mike?
Nyla Simone
Yeah, Mike was like, man, this is culturally inappropriate. And Mike also worked on It's Almost Dry. So you know how that had a common thread of like the joker laugh through the whole album. He was like, yo, say that on the mic and let me run that through a filter. Because, you know, we just felt like we just kept running that back. It's culturally inappropriate. He was like, say it through a filter. Let's find a voice and let's just see how it sounds on records. And it actually just worked just to have that, you know, just another thread to keep it, you know, cohesive, keep the album cohesive.
Lauren LaRosa
I mean, I like it just because it's something that I feel like, like we should say something is culturally inappropriate.
Nyla Simone
Yeah, it could have been a line. What I'm saying is it could have been a line. It could have been a song. It could have been a. A hook idea at the time. I just, you know, I just can't remember what it was. But that's. That's where that. That term came from. Something that was just said ignorantly.
Charlamagne Tha God
And what pissed you off about Travis Scott so much that you had to mention him on the record? Like, what. What made you say this isn't this going too far?
Nyla Simone
Ah, man, it was just, you know, it was just that. That whole coming to. Coming to Paris, you know, he came to Paris during one of our sessions, you know, played his album and then he, you know, when. When he left the album comes out and, you know, the record that he played, you know, had a verse up there that was, you know, going at pee or whatever the case may be. And I'm like, damn, you just left. Like, how you. How you leave here, you know, let. He was on your album. And then you're letting them, you know, play your album form. You're filming it, and then you come back when the album drops, you got a verse, you know, going at them. So I just thought that was corny. And again, like, you know, that's part of the. Trying to leave all of that behind. And it's like, man, it. Like, that's the type of thing that happens over in that yay world and it's okay. And they, you know, it's all right. They just brush it off and they be friends and they go hang out together and then, you know, do whatever they do. Like, that doesn't. I didn't. I didn't like that. That was brought into this fold.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, one time they said the verse, the Drake verse wasn't done as of yet.
Nyla Simone
Doesn't matter when it was done. I don't care when it was done.
Lauren LaRosa
You.
Nyla Simone
You added to it. You actually. He actually had a verse after that verse. So you. You even added to the verse, like.
Lauren LaRosa
So what's proper etiquette for a situation like that?
Nyla Simone
Just stay the hell away from me. I'm not into you anyway. Like, I'm not even into you. Your swag or none of that. Like, it's not into none of it. So just stay away. Like, I only want to mess with the real. Like, I'm only dealing with the real. I'm only, you know, doing music with the real. We just. I just. Let's just. Let's just. This is like just drawing a line in the sand for everybody.
Lauren LaRosa
But are you responsible for what an artist does on your record?
Nyla Simone
If you come and dance around in front of me and use footage and do all this and all that, I think you're responsible for anything that you do that you incorporate the people that, you know, that are being, you know, talked about. Of course.
H
I can't believe you have to explain this.
Lauren LaRosa
You know, what happened. I know that's your brother, and I'm. I'm sure. No.
H
And I'm not just Taking sidesword.
Lauren LaRosa
Because my brother. I'm just saying, you know, like. But I'm talking about the artists who might approach you because of what Pusha says.
H
I mean, listen, I ride with my brother. You know what I'm saying? And that's the thing about this having purpose. I know what my purpose is. I'm making music with my brother, and I'm glorifying my God. That's what I'm doing. And when you're in your purpose, if anything fall on you, then it fall on you. At least you know you were where you were supposed to be. And that's where I'm at right now. So I'm cool with whatever.
Lauren LaRosa
All right? You envy. So when people approach you for things I say only approach me, you don't go out.
Nyla Simone
That's all the time.
Lauren LaRosa
But. But also be. You said you got a video of Travis crying.
Nyla Simone
No, no, man.
DJ Envy
You cried in front of me.
Nyla Simone
Oh, no, no, that.
Lauren LaRosa
That.
Nyla Simone
That wasn't.
Lauren LaRosa
That.
Nyla Simone
That's not about crying.
DJ Envy
So what's on the video?
Nyla Simone
Oh, man. You know. Yeah. You know.
Lauren LaRosa
God damn.
DJ Envy
You know you're looking for.
Nyla Simone
I got you.
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, I appreciate you, bubbas, for joining us, man.
Nyla Simone
Thanks for having us.
H
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Lauren LaRosa
But are we gonna have to wait another 15 years, or is it.
Nyla Simone
Nah, nah, nah. I don't think so.
Lauren LaRosa
Okay.
Charlamagne Tha God
Malice didn't say it. I don't know.
DJ Envy
Y' all are just so happy. I love seeing y' all together. I know.
Lauren LaRosa
That's why when I said the safe space thing, like, I can really see that. I can see how this is like a divine protection. When y' all together. Wow.
Nyla Simone
For sure, you have an individual, but.
Lauren LaRosa
When y' all together, you can.
H
I'm with that. I'm with that. I feel that. I see that.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
One last thing. Is there ever a problem? You say, like, I'm not going there with Pusha. Like, if Push is going to a. A spot, a strip club to host or he's going to strip club, like, that's. I'm not doing that.
H
Yo, everybody keeps putting you in a strip club.
Lauren LaRosa
For some reason, every interview, they're putting him in the.
Charlamagne Tha God
In the.
Lauren LaRosa
In the strip club.
Nyla Simone
I usually don't. I mean, book, but. Yeah, man, not my thing.
H
Work is work.
Lauren LaRosa
Work. Work is work.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's clips.
Lauren LaRosa
It's the Breakfast Club.
Charlamagne Tha God
Good morning. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.
Lauren LaRosa
Lauren becoming a straight face. She gets them from somebody that knows somebody. She gets the details.
DJ Envy
I'm the homegirl that knows a little Bit about everything.
Lauren LaRosa
She'd be having the latest on the bees, the Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit everything. Well, it's the ladies on the Breakfast Club. Talk to me.
DJ Envy
So Cardi B was on Twitter spaces yesterday and we haven't heard much from Cardi at all. Since all of the Stefan Diggs breakup rumors and finding out they probably aren't broken up, she decided to clear the air about a few things. So she talked about Cardi B not being able to keep a man or that being the narrative right now. Let's take a listen. There's a whole female talking about, if Cardi's the blueprint, why can't she keep a man?
I
First of all, babe, I was married.
Lauren LaRosa
For seven years, put a half a million dollar ring on my finger two times.
DJ Envy
I left, didn't left me.
Lauren LaRosa
And I have right now that love.
DJ Envy
Me down, protect me down, love me down, fly to me every weekend a.
Nyla Simone
Man don't make me.
DJ Envy
I make a lot of bread, but I know how.
Lauren LaRosa
How you gotta come over here.
DJ Envy
I am a talented, rich dad. Creative bad.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm good at everything that I do. I'm looking for that is a partner.
DJ Envy
I never wanted to depend on.
Lauren LaRosa
A man.
DJ Envy
Yes.
Lauren LaRosa
Who is she talking about? Like, who was the woman that said something that made her speak up?
DJ Envy
It was like a random girl on.
Lauren LaRosa
Social and that's why we got to stop paying random people on social media attention.
DJ Envy
Yeah, I get it. But you know Cardiard's response to these things. And that did. When. When people thought that because she had wiped the photos of Stefan Diggs off of her Instagram page, people. When people thought that they were no longer together. There were conversations in various places about is Cardi the problem? Because it seems like she keeps getting into these relationships that don't last. Right. And that's what she's responding to now. There was also this rumor that Stefan Diggs had allegedly went out somewhere and said that Cardi B's BBL smelled like a trash bag in July and cart. And he commented on one of the reports and said that was cap. Cardi B also talked about that. Let's listen to Cardi B on her bbo.
Lauren LaRosa
I don't know who made that up.
DJ Envy
Talking about people. Bbls thinking blah, blah, blah, bbls. Bbls.
Lauren LaRosa
I don't know what type of did.
DJ Envy
A video saying that about herself, but that's you.
Lauren LaRosa
If you don't know how to wash.
DJ Envy
Your and you have bad bo that's on you. You've been having a fat for 15 years.
Lauren LaRosa
I know how to wash this.
DJ Envy
You better squat open that cheek and throw your around with some Dove soap.
Lauren LaRosa
Soak that some white vinegar. Caribbean. Why are we playing it? I ain't gonna lie. I gotta start utilizing AI Cuz that was a good role rumor. That's some funny stuff, man. Your bbl stink. You're like, hey, my brain is crazy. I ain't thought of that one. I wish I thought of that one. Telling somebody they bbl.
DJ Envy
I think that. And it wasn't even just think. It was like. Like a trash bag in July. I'm like, why am I even gonna.
Lauren LaRosa
Be that descriptive telling somebody, boy, your bbl think. Shut up.
DJ Envy
Yes.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's so crazy. I'm mad Cardi B responds to any of these people.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm really upset.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm gonna be honest with you. I think it's good right now because you got an album coming out September 19th, and the name of the album is called Am I the Drama? Just I just literally.
Charlamagne Tha God
But she never stopped responding. She's been responding for 15 years.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. But now, now is the time to do it. And she should. Every time she rants, she should use the hashtag, am I the drama? Like, she should actually turn it into a series where when she wants to address this stuff, she's like, am I the drama? Am I the problem? Like, and then have these vent sessions.
DJ Envy
With that over there. Because when Cardi B. When I say she gets to the things, she soon. She went live yesterday. I started to scream record. Because I'm like, Cardi B. Gonna dress all this stuff. We were just waiting for her to say something.
Charlamagne Tha God
She want body to get paid from it too.
Lauren LaRosa
Black effect right here. B. Let's get you before you. Longoria, get you over at the Brown Effect. My couture.
Charlamagne Tha God
I just want to monetize and make money for you.
Lauren LaRosa
We can partner. We can do that. But you can if you want. You can do these rants, call them am I the drama? And then you can, you know, have these conversations. Because that's essentially what she's addressing. Right? 100 people saying that she's the issue.
Morgan
Yeah.
DJ Envy
Yes. And I will say too, after those stories that came out and we even talked about it up here, about whether her and Step Von Diggs were good or not because of the photos. There was a report that came out and said they hadn't broken up and that it had nothing. The Instagram scrub had nothing to do with nothing. And she had retweeted this video of, like, working out in the gym with him or whatever. So seems like they're good because she let y' all know her man love her down. And she good when she said that. Love her down and all that. I said, oh, wow, it's good over there because she talking crazy about that man.
Lauren LaRosa
Can I ask you something? And this just goes back to, like, elementary school, right? How come when you tell a girl something stink, they lose it? You tell them their hair stink. You know what I'm saying? Tell them they underarm stink.
DJ Envy
What are they supposed to do? Do?
Lauren LaRosa
But if you know you don't stink.
DJ Envy
It'S just the insult. That's like calling somebody dirty.
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, I love that too.
DJ Envy
The insult itself is just like, what? Like what?
Charlamagne Tha God
Because they know. Sometimes they do, though. Like, sometimes their hair stink, you know, I mean, you can smell it sometimes.
Lauren LaRosa
Even when you was a kid. Even the parents my kid dirty.
Charlamagne Tha God
When you in the club, you never smell another girl's hair?
DJ Envy
No. Why am I up on close. When you leave the club, you know your hair going to smell like the club. So you book an appointment to get your hair wash and get your hair.
Lauren LaRosa
I done smell some stuff.
Charlamagne Tha God
You smell some stank. Yeah, it used to be.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
It smells crunchy. It smells crunchy.
DJ Envy
Even that. That word crunchy, like, that would make me like. Like slap. Like what? Crunchy is bad. Stink is. I've seen it.
Lauren LaRosa
Okay. Saying somebody bbl stink is hilarious, though. Like, I've heard people say your bbl looks stink, but when you say your bbl stink.
Charlamagne Tha God
But what does a BBL stink like?
Lauren LaRosa
Exactly. That's what makes.
DJ Envy
I told y' all they were seeing Trash Bag in July.
Lauren LaRosa
I don't even need that part. But just telling somebody that bbl think is hilarious.
DJ Envy
Well, hers don't. And that's what she wanted to clear up. And is she the drama if she is Cardi B. Going to dress it herself? And that is what also went into some offset things. But we gotta wrap up in this hour. But I don't know, man. I would say leave Cardi alone, but we all be so invested when y' all don't.
Lauren LaRosa
All right, Who's y'? All?
DJ Envy
The people that she responds to.
Lauren LaRosa
I just. I want Cardi to drop an album. And if she is going. Yeah, September 19th. Like I said, if she's going to do these rants, let's monetize them, let's package them. Okay. Am I the drama ranch? So she's basically addressing herself. Okay. And and what people think think her issues are.
DJ Envy
You should really call her though, because yesterday on that spaces too, she was talking about how she took all this time off of like creating content and all the things she does when she drop an album and she's finally back to it. She's been dropping visuals, so I feel like something like that would be very helpful. She'd be so fly. She have the fashion on. You should call her and figure that out. Cuz she's dropping all the content right.
Lauren LaRosa
Now leading up to the album for body. Okay, all right, now we got donkey of the day coming up next. People's dog, donkey. Okay, it's Friday, so you can call up here and give somebody the credit they deserve for being stupid. 1-800-585-1051 is the world's most dangerous morning show, the Breakfast Club. It's your time to nominate a donkey of your own. Remember now, that is how they choose.
Charlamagne Tha God
Call in now, 800-585-1051.
Lauren LaRosa
Yes, Donkey. Today for Friday, July 11th is the People's donkey. On Fridays, we like to open up the phone lines and allow you to listen to give people the credit they deserve for being stupid. I should give it to him because just randomly in the room a little while ago, he goes, I got a pimple on my butt. And I'm glad everybody ignored him. We all ignored him because I don't even know why he even said that to the room.
DJ Envy
Well, I couldn't ignore him because he asked. Did. Did anybody?
Lauren LaRosa
No, that was the second time. Oh, because you be entertaining, don't entertain. You know what I'm saying?
DJ Envy
I have empathy.
Charlamagne Tha God
What are you talking about?
Lauren LaRosa
Who's this? Faith, who do you want to give the biggest hee haw to this Friday?
Sean Stone
I'm giving it to Lauren.
DJ Envy
Oh, I look good today, Faith, come on, tell me. The camera's getting me. What happened?
Sean Stone
Well, Lauren, the other day when you reported the story on Nicki Nyes, I.
Morgan
Feel like you gave a little bit.
Sean Stone
Of a personal view. Jess was really the only one that kept it cute. And I just want y' all to know, like, really easy on my shit.
Lauren LaRosa
All of y'.
Morgan
All.
Lauren LaRosa
You're clearly a barb.
Charlamagne Tha God
Definitely a barb.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. How long have you been a barb?
Sean Stone
Ever since I can remember 2006.
Lauren LaRosa
Listen, I got love for Nicki Minaj, you know what I'm saying? But here's the. Here's the thing. What is wrong with being honest? You can't sit here and act like, you know, Nikki's Nikki's behavior on social media, it doesn't be looking crazy sometimes.
Sean Stone
Here's the thing. Everyone is honest on social media. When Nicki Minaj does it, nobody ever comes back and be like, you know what? When it comes out that she was right, no one ever gives her, like, dang, you know, Nikki was right about this person.
DJ Envy
Well, excuse me. Do you think you can tell the rest of the barbs to leave my Twitter mentions alone?
Lauren LaRosa
My ex mentions n. They not going as hard crazy.
DJ Envy
They in sham.
Lauren LaRosa
They.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, you ain't. They ain't go crazy.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, the bars, they don't go as hard as they used to. I'm not going to lie. I think they all got a little old.
Charlamagne Tha God
They probably.
DJ Envy
No more now.
Sean Stone
We're not crazy. We're not crazy, y'.
Lauren LaRosa
All.
DJ Envy
No, no, no, no. Y' all are a bit. It's a bit much. How old are you?
Sean Stone
I'm actually 38.
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, wow. That's about right. Well, thank you for calling.
Charlamagne Tha God
Thank you.
Sean Stone
All right.
DJ Envy
The Barb sitting there, where the. Where the fans at? They a little older.
Lauren LaRosa
Good morning. Who's this?
Morgan
Hey, what's going on? It's your boy Footman from Jersey.
Lauren LaRosa
Footman who you want to get the biggest he haw to, man?
Morgan
I want to get a bigger keyhard, too, to Tyler Perry, because the way the gray head black woman and he.
Nyla Simone
Emasculated in black men.
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, God.
Morgan
TV shows and. And his movies, man. Come on, Charlemagne. Don't do me like that.
Lauren LaRosa
I don't. I. I just don't agree with that. That. But I. I really don't. I just don't agree with that because art is art, and I think that art reflects life. And, you know, I think sometimes people show you the harsh realities of life in their art. Like, we don't get mad at rappers when they talk about the realities of their life and they show, you know, which. Which might be some of the worst images of us, but sometimes they're doing it for a reason. Like, I don't think Tyler's exploiting it. That's just my personal opinion. But, you know, this is y'. All. This is y' all donkey of the day. So y'.
Morgan
All.
Lauren LaRosa
Y' all can do what y' all want.
Charlamagne Tha God
Thank you, Joe.
Lauren LaRosa
Good morning. Who's this man?
Morgan

DJ Envy
Always trying to humble the black woman.
Lauren LaRosa
But why does she need to humble herself? I want to know why you think she need to be humble?

Lauren LaRosa
Leonard, sir.
Morgan
Yes, Leonard. I think at times, brother, even though you have. I believe you have good intentions and you do say a lot of positive things, and I believe you put a lot of positive. But at times, I think I want to serve you a little humble.
Lauren LaRosa
You want to be very easy.
Morgan
Egotistical. At times, you can be very judgmental. And just remember that your opinion is just like everybody else is just saying it.
Lauren LaRosa
I agree.
Morgan
And you don't. You don't know everything.
Lauren LaRosa
I agree.
Morgan
You know, so just humble yourself at times, man.
Lauren LaRosa
I agree. That's all. That's. That's great advice for all humans. Thank you, brother.
Morgan
Yes, sir.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oops, my bad. I'm trying to get to another caller. I'm trying to get some people. People call it.
Lauren LaRosa
But also, too, we should remember that just because you don't agree with somebody's opinion don't mean that. That that person is egotistical and not being humble, that just means you don't agree with their opinion.
Charlamagne Tha God
See, Being egotist.

I
All is well. All is well.
Lauren LaRosa
I heard you got mad songs, so let's get to it. What we got?
I
I have a lot, obviously. I'm going to start with the clips. You know, they dropped their project. And I just want to salute to Carly Hustle over at Apple Music for putting together that really dope album listening party that had forever. The whole city came up to it. And you were also able to stream it if you were interested. But I thought clips rollout was just 10 out of 10. So salute to them.
Lauren LaRosa
Because it was a real rollout.
I
Because it was a real.
Lauren LaRosa
They went on a real press tour.
DJ Envy
You had to stop for it. Yes.
I
I even really like the fact that they dropped tiny desk the day of the project. Dropped.
Lauren LaRosa
I didn't even see that yet.
DJ Envy
Yep, it's coming today.
I
So it's giving, like nostalgia their old hits and then, you know, their new project. But anyway, into the music. Let's get into Pokemon Covey featuring Tyler, the creator.

There's nothing wrong with that. Okay. Don't. Don't. Financial shame. People scream kings. Can't feel a. Can't feel a. Can't feel a crowd or whatever you say. Crazy.
DJ Envy
I think when you're trying to sit next to them, though, that is. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's a very different conversation. We try to sit next to like a Pusha T or malice.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm just saying 5500. The host ain't bad.
DJ Envy
Oh, I'm going. Call me for 5500.
Lauren LaRosa

Yes. Yeah.
I
What did you guys think about Pharrell's production? I know that's been like a topic of conversation.
Lauren LaRosa
Phenomenal. Very minimal. Very minimal. Like, he was very minimal with the production, and that just allowed Pusha and, you know, Malice to get busy with their pin. And he said, really?
Charlamagne Tha God
Hip hop.
Lauren LaRosa
He said it's because Pharrell looks at their voice as an instrument. That's why his production is, like, minimal. Minimalist, real hip hop.
Charlamagne Tha God
Boom B.
DJ Envy
They have a conversation coming on complex with. It's Pharrell and them, and it's called Family Matters. And they're probably gonna get into all of that stuff too. I'm excited to watch it.
