[Charlamagne Tha God]

What we got, Mimi?

[Boosie Badass]

All right.

[Mimi Brown]

Well, we have really good news this morning. We have some much needed relief for federal workers after that record 43 day shutdown. Paychecks will finally start going out this weekend. A senior administration official says the first checks will land Saturday with the goal of getting everyone paid by Wednesday. Now, because agencies, they handle handle their own payroll, workers all, they all won't be paid at the same time. But the White House says that it's pushing agencies to move as fast as possible, so no one waits any longer. Now, starting tomorrow, the first group of federal workers, they will get paid, as I said earlier, mainly employees and administrative and government support roles. They will get their base pay. Their overtime will come later. And then on Sunday, the next wave will hit workers at the Energy Department, Veteran Affairs, Health and Human Services. They will see their checks, and those will include overtime and hazard pay. And for families who rely on SNAP benefits, relief is coming as well. Full SNAP benefits are expected to be restored by Monday, with states ordered to send out full November payments immediately, though timing will vary from state to state. So we've been talking about this for six weeks. Food banks across the country, they have become a lifeline not just for families who depend on snap, but for those thousands of federal workers who suddenly had no paycheck. Many of those workers are still behind on rent, utilities and bills and and pantry directors, though they say that they expect demand to stay high while people still try and get back on their feet. And at the Food bank of New York or for New York City, where Charlamagne, I know you've been on the ground helping with meals, they say now is not the time to stop doing the work. They want people to continue doing the work, continue to support families while the recovery process is going on. Let's listen to what they had to.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Say here at Food bank for New York City. We'll continue to be in it, to win it, as I like to say. And it's good, nutritious food. We want to let people know, right? It's not cakes, pies, sugary drinks. We want to make sure that people are amply supplied and all set to celebrate the all American holiday of Thanksgiving. But it's going to continue to be tough times. What we have to remember, it's not only snap, it's the government shutdown. And on top of that, it's the looming increase in affordable health care costs. And this is the same constituency that is at the heart of all three of those things.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, man. Salute to the Food Bank NYC man dropping the kluz bombs for Food Bank. They do phenomenal work, you know, and like she said, it's nutritious food. You know, Lauren's even been out there with me, you know, on the ground giving out food to people who need it. So salute to the food bank nyc.org I'm an ambassador for them. And $1 provides up to 15 meals for people when you donate to the Food bank. So food bank nyc.org if you want to go make a donation.

[Mimi Brown]

Absolutely. Very important work. And I just want to make sure that people don't think because the shutdown is over that the need is over. But we do know that that shutdown, it ended on Wednesday night. And that new spending funding bill will keep the government funded through January 30th. And there's one more update tied to the shutdown, this time for TSA workers. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, she says that thousands of TSA agency agents will receive $10,000 bonus checks for the work that they did during the 43 day shutdown. And she made the announcement during a speech at the Houston airport yesterday praising officers who kept showing up without pay and picked up extra shifts to keep travelers moving. Let's listen to what she had to say. And what that means is that we.

[DJ Envy]

Are going to not only Continue their.

[Mimi Brown]

Paychecks like they should have received all along.

[DJ Envy]

But also they're going to get a.

[Mimi Brown]

Bonus check for stepping up, taking on extra shifts, for showing up each and.

[DJ Envy]

Every day, for serving the American people.

[Mimi Brown]

And taking seriously the mission that the.

[DJ Envy]

Department of Homeland Security takes seriously and that they.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Is that all employees?

[Mimi Brown]

No. That's what I was just getting ready to say. That's a very good question. Envy. Because Noam says that the bonuses, which will come in addition to back pay, are meant to help employees get back on their feet. But not everyone is thrilled with this rollout. So the union that represents TSA workers, they said, you know, they're happy that some workers are getting that help, but they argue that every employee suffered something during the shutdown, and they deserve something. They said that everyone endured some sort of hardship. And so to pick and choose who gets that doesn't seem fair.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I will say, though, man, I can agree with that. I think the people who stayed working probably should get 10,000. The people who, you know, had to, you know, step away because you had to step away for a reason sometimes you had to step away because they couldn't afford to have their kids in childcare, pay bills, pick up another job to pay bills. So I think they should probably get 5,000. But I'm gonna tell you something. When I was coming through TSA last week, I seen this dude, he threw the bin, right? He worked for tsa, and he threw the bin because he was upset about something. And then one of the other TSA workers said to him, man, you know, you can't do that or whatever. And he was like, I don't care. We not getting paid. No way. But he was still there. So to see that frustration and then to know that, you know, they're being rewrite. Rewarded, I think that's dope.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm sorry, but there's some agents that took extra shifts, so they should be rewarded. But like you said, if I tried to work, but I couldn't because I had to pay bills, so I might have had to do Uber. I might have had to, you know, watch my kids that week. I mean, how to get something. How do you not give them something when they. They tried? Like, you know, they working.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah. Everyone had their own circumstances, which kept them, of course, having to. Yeah. Go in or not go in. And so we'll continue talking about this at seven, but also coming up at seven, something you probably don't think about is about to have a really big impact on your Wal will tell you what it Is. And how it's actually going to affect all of us.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All right, well, thank you, Mimi. And last night, the jets lost to the Patriots. If you're Jamie, they knew that already.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Whoever playing the jets gonna win. You ain't even got to worry about that. Sorry, Red. Red, is the jets fan in the building. I don't know why?

[DJ Envy]

Red wore his, like, jacket or something. One day he said, it's the only day I'm gonna get in.

[Just Hilarious]

That's the only thing.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, he got two games out of it, but everybody else, get it off your chest. 800. 5, 8, 5. 10, 5, 1. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn, you got money.

[Caller]

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Caller]

But anyway, you know, it was just heartening because. Or most countries like Canada, the U.S. embassy they sent a plane for their residence. They left that Wednesday. The UK evacuated their people on Thursday, the Bahamas people. The embassy evacuated their people Friday the 31st. Meanwhile, my stance started contact US embassy in Jamaica. My congressmen trying to get me my friend just residents back. And they said at this time we have no plans to evacuate US citizens.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn. Wow.

[Caller]

So. And yeah, it was never. And it was like the garden. Like I knew I was gonna come home. But it was the fact that, you know, it was rough. We had no hot water, no ac, no tv, no fresh linen for like five days. No pool, no beach. But they did feed us.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But I will say though, I'm gonna be honest with you. I understand what you're saying, but I don't really feel sorry for you because there's people that live there that lost a whole lot. At least you get to leave and come back home. You know what I mean? Like, I don't like woe is me. I didn't have fresh linen.

[Caller]

Well, no, no. And that's it. No, the workers was gracious. I mean there was something that hadn't even heard from their family because they serving us.

[Caller]

And so I get that. And I'm. I trying to contact the resources I wanna and I would like to do something to help them. Like my family, they raised a fund for me because I spent out of money, to be honest with you. But yeah, no, I mean they served us. They smile, never complain, anything. But it's the fact that you didn't know when you were coming home.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now I get it, you know?

[Lauren LaRosa]

[Caller]

And like I'm a spiritual person. I. I held on to my faith. I knew I was gonna come home. But the fact that when.

And I even asked my sister, you know, who is unfortunate right now, was one of the SNAP recipients, and I was like, how do you feel about it? We both felt like, yes, the line should have been held, but we understand, like I said, significant about how it was affecting people. But, you know, like I said, I get it, but it was just. It's just one situation where the outcome of letting go may have been worse than what we were going through currently. Yeah. So like I said, I mixed reviews about it, but I understand. But the biggest thing for me was, like, you do have to have situations to where you have a legacy built outside of your career, which is one thing that I actually did. Listen, y', all, I have a jury brand. It is unique. If you've seen it anywhere, it is solid. These are my original designs. I would just love for y' all to even just look at it.

Shayla Anson Collection.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Shayla Answer. A N S A H. Shayla Answer.

[Boosie Badass]

All right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Get it off your chest. You know what I was thinking, too? So they gave $10,000 bonuses to TSA workers, but what about military that didn't get paid and still had to go to work and still had to do Overtime. What about a lot of those other agencies that still had to go to work and have to work overt time? So I wonder how you pick and choose who gets to 10,000. Because if I was military, I would be like, damn, how come I ain't get 10,000?

[DJ Envy]

I just feel like it's all new. Like they're trying to figure it all out in real time. So like maybe this one so those and then it'll be a triple, like a trickle down effect where, like they'll figure out something else for everybody else.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Like I tell you about that military. The guy that was supposed to get deployed and come home, he couldn't come home. He has to work an additional two months. Yeah, like, what about him?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I thought the military. I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong. Ask me when we come back. But I thought the military, I thought some of them got paid during the show.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Some of them did get paid, but some of them didn't. So I'm just curious. Like, I don't know, but get it off your chest. 800-585-11051. When we come back, we got front page. No, we got latest. Lauren. What are we talking about? Late Lauren.

[DJ Envy]

We talking about Ray J and the Kardashians because Ray J is fighting back. He filed a lawsuit yesterday in response to Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner. So we won't get into the details.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The world's most dangerous morning show. The Breakfast Club. It's time for the latest for Lauren.

[Boosie Badass]

Lauren becoming a straight face.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

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.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She'd be having the latest on the.

[Just Hilarious]

Latest with Lauren LaRosa.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes she have a little bit of everything. What was the latest on the Breakfast Club? Talk to me.

[DJ Envy]

All right, so yesterday there were two documents filed by Ray J's attorneys. Ray J is fighting back. So you remember when Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner filed the defamation lawsuit after Ray J claimed that there was going to be a RICO around the Kardashians.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Right.

[DJ Envy]

So yesterday, Ray J responded to that lawsuit. And you know, to sum that up, he basically is denying all of the claims. So all of the defamation that they are claiming in their lawsuit, he's saying that it's not true. There was no damage done. He did not defame them. Anything. He stated was true at the time is what he alleges in his document. And then in this doc, he mentions, like, a settlement that happened between all parties involved. That he alleges makes him clear of any legal liability for anything. They're also claiming in his defamation lawsuit. So then in the second doc, this is Ray J's now lawsuit that he's firing back at them. Ray J is claiming that a while ago, when Ray J was brought up on. He claims he was brought up on the Kardashians. They talked about the sex tape, and when they talked about it, it was Kim Kardashian. Kanye west was also invol. He alleges that they talked about it in a disparaging way. They claimed that the sex tape wasn't consensual. He says that he was falsely accused of sexual assaulting Kim Kardashian while she was asleep, releasing revenge porn and extortion. He alleges after that happened, he then went and got attorneys involved and there was a settlement that happened. The settlement was for $6 million with the agreement that anytime this settlement was like they did anything against what they agreed to in the settlement, he'd be paid a million dollars. So he's asking for a million dollars now. And he settlement basically said that under the angry. Under this agreement, the Jenners and the Kardashians could not bring any claim, no matter how weak, against him, because they would need to do it in confidential arbitration, which is where you sit down before you actually file anything or go to court or anything like that. But they brought this meritless, according to him, lawsuit against him for defamation. He's saying that they basically are doing all this for publicity. He says that he will not allow Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner to weaponize the judicial system against him and sacrifice him on the altar of fame.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I wonder if that agreement goes both ways. Meaning, like, you know, they can't sue him for anything, but he can't accuse them of anything as well.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, I mean, I'm just assuming, because.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Most of the time those type of agreements go both ways.

[DJ Envy]

Yes, and that's going to be the legal argument. Now, some other details in this second filing that, you know, were pretty interesting. Ray J has for a long time been saying that that sex tape that happened in Mexico, in Cabo, was not only consensual, but the release of it was a plan.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Of course. Of course, you know that, like, you.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Can'T have to sign up for both sides.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You can't sell those things to those distribution Companies without both sides.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. So he doubles down. I know some years back, he also went on a rant and gave us some details about this as well, too. But he says that for decades, he alleges the Kardashians have been lying, that not only did they shoot that tape in Cabo, but there was a second tape shot because Kris Jenner and the parties that be, he alleges, looked at the first tape. They didn't like how Kim looked. They.

[Lauren LaRosa]

She.

[DJ Envy]

In this document. He says that they felt like she looked dirty, so they shot it again. They looked at the two tapes and decided which one to release. And this was all an arranged thing. And Kim was down for it because of parasol and sex tape. Allegedly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And.

[DJ Envy]

And just said, my mom needs to be in charge of how releases. So basically, he's putting everything he's been yelling about into, you know, some legal docs, and him and his attorneys are going to go back and forth at this time.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now, by the way, that that was the greatest rollout ever for a career. Yeah. All right. And then. And it hasn't worked for anybody else the way it worked for Kardashians.

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, it hasn't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But even I'm sure there's an NDA that he wasn't supposed to talk about this when they released that sex tape. I'm sure. I'm sure that he has. He signed something.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Where they weren't supposed to. So I'm sure they probably gonna sue.

[Boosie Badass]

Him for this, too.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But that's why I give the Kardashians a lot of credit because, you know, it takes more than a sex tape to build an empire.

[DJ Envy]

You gotta.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That might be the spark.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It was a spark.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. But, you know, they built a whole dynasty.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Billion dollar dynasty off Ray J's penis and Kim's vagina. That was the foundation.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes, it was for real.

[DJ Envy]

Well, Alex Spiro, who is the attorney for Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner released a statement and he says after realizing he is losing the case and is losing his way, the disjointed rambling distraction is not intimidating anyone. Ray J will lose this frivolous case, too.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So I wonder why Ray J, like, why do it now? Like, what's the reason for it?

[DJ Envy]

I think he's just at the point where he might be. You know, he feels like he's tired of things being said one way when he feels like.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Because nobody's talking about the sex tape. The sex tape's been out for what, 10, 15 years. Nobody's talking about it. Nobody's discussing it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

When you talk to Ray, you know, he does have very valid reasons. You know, what I'm saying is his kids are getting older, you know, his niece, and, you know, he wants to clear things up just for his legacy, which I. Which I can understand. I get it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But if you signed off on it 15, what, 20 years ago when the sex tape came out, like, would they.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Keep painting him as somebody who leaked it? Like, put it out there? I'm not saying that the Kardashians, but people paint him as the guy that leaked the tape and used it to, you know, get more attention than bought to himself. So I can understand. I can understand his reasoning.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, well, speaking of Reggie, every time.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Alex Burrow put out a statement, he sound like he doing that dance where he just eating. What's that dance y' all be doing?

[DJ Envy]

Take me through that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He just can't wait to eat a case.

[DJ Envy]

Okay. No, I mean, he's a die partner. Speaking of Ray J's legacy. So Ray J was having a conversation with DJ QuickSilva, and they were talking about Ray J and Mario and a potential song for song verses. Let's take a listen.

[Boosie Badass]

And I told Mario when he get out here, we going one for one.

[Just Hilarious]

Hold on.

[Boosie Badass]

You really want to go soft singing battle? Mario don't want to see me in.

[John B.]

A one for one singing.

[DJ Envy]

Mario said that y' all not singing like him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Are you really telling me that you.

[Boosie Badass]

Believe that Ray J can out sing Mario? I think song for song.

[John B.]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You seriously got you high?

[Boosie Badass]

No, I'm serious. You serious?

[Lauren LaRosa]

So, okay, so let's do the next.

[Boosie Badass]

Five r B songs Mario got coming compared to Ray j's five coming right now. But listen, Mario was just on stage with Brandi because Brandy loves Mario, too, in March. So he just performed with them that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

The boy is mine too. So it's all love.

[Boosie Badass]

No, I know it's love, but it ain't love right now. We're not talking about old songs. All new versions of whatever he got right now against the new versions of whatever I got.

[Just Hilarious]

All right, J, ladies and gentlemen.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Ray J got bangers, by the way.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I don't know about no new jokes.

[DJ Envy]

I don't want to hear no new Reggie. I don't think.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't think I got Willie Ray Dalwood Jr. In that one. If this was the game. Yes, Ray got. Ray got. Ray got three in impossible.

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, he got four.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let's play three in the possible. What everybody else holding in their hand.

[DJ Envy]

How do I Breathe.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I never heard of it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You got.

[John B.]

How do I believe?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Isn't it?

[DJ Envy]

Oh, my God.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We don't even gotta play. I got. I still got Ray.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, look, I got Mario.

[DJ Envy]

I'm glad he fighting for his legacy in one way because he ain't getting that overall. Mario. I don't think so. I got. I love Ray J, but I got Mario in the versus and. Oh, he do. He got the new new. Oh, he not owned the song. He just in the video. The Trey songs litigant. You never. You ain't see that video with Ray J and Trace.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We might need to make that happen. I think I'm here for that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, I would love to see that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Five song verses.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, they can't do 20.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They gotta do five. Five a piece.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Airports where the government is back open, but the airline system is still trying to catch up. So delays and cancellations, they are still piling up. Travelers are walking in to airports, finding long lines, crowded gates, and flights that still aren't taking off on time. Now officials say it may take several more days before things fully reset. Yesterday alone, more than 1,000 flights were canceled and a thousand more were delayed. Airlines have even pre canceled some flights today. So make sure you check your itinerary before you head to the airport just to keep schedules manageable. Now, the FAA had said that they were going to cut flights by today by 10% at the busiest airports. But now that the shutdown is over, that is off the table. The cuts will stay at 6% instead as more air traffic controllers are finally back on the job. Now here's a new debate brewing. So we were just talking about TSA agents. So now they're talking about air traffic controllers being punished for calling out during the shutdown. Some critics are saying that they should be disciplined. But Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, he is pushing back. Let's listen to what he had to say.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, I think what we have to realize is we have some controllers who are put in a very difficult position. They're young. They don't make a lot of money when they first start out. They can make some good money later in their careers. But when they start out, they're not making a lot. They may be the sole source of income. And they were confronted with a real problem. Do I not feed my family or do I try to find another pathway to put food on the table? And that was very real. And I'm cognizant of that. I don't want to be unfair to people.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So what are you gonna punish them and tell them not to come to work?

[DJ Envy]

Exactly.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Like, come on. So you get the same problem.

[Mimi Brown]

Exactly.

[DJ Envy]

It's so hard for people to treat people like they would want to be treated.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think about that every day, yo.

[DJ Envy]

Because if you was in that situation, you would make the same decision.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's like you're back in elementary school. They like you're doing the others you would have them doing to you. I don't, I promise you, I don't do nothing to nobody that I can't handle receiving. Talk what I'm saying, man.

[DJ Envy]

Talk about my boss.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

By every day I have unboxed people climbing to be involved. It don't bother me. That's why I can talk about your boss to me.

[Mimi Brown]

Well, when we speaking with about air traffic controllers. So President Trump mv, he has said that air traffic controllers who stayed on the job should get $10,000. So I don't know that's if that means people who had perfect attendance or people who took up extra shifts. But he did talk about actually giving them an extra $10,000. So we will continue to watch that and see what happens with that. But bottom line, this morning, if you are headed to the airport, expect delays. Things are better, but not back to normal. And as we continue to talk about travel, this is something that can make things a lot easier. So Apple is rolling out a new feature that lets you carry a digital copy of your passport on your iPhone or your Apple watch. You can now use it at TSA checkpoints in more than 250 airports for domestic travel. It's part of Apple's new digital wallet, so it'll be available in that new iOS update. Right now it works in about a dozen states. Porter and Puerto Rico, so including California, New York, Georgia, Maryland and Arizona, with more states coming soon. So the setup is simple. You just scan your physical passport in your wallet and verify your identity. And then you tap your phone like you are doing Apple pay tsa, though they say still bring your physical ID for now because the feature is still in beta testing. So what do you guys think about that? Would you put your passport on your phone so you don't have to carry it physically or.

[DJ Envy]

Absolutely, 100%, absolutely. Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't see why not. You know what I want to know too, Mimi, you know those, those US passport cards, like the little joint that look like a license?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Do those work? Can you use those today?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Can I use those? No, you have to have a passport.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You positive? Yep.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That's like a backup if you ever lose your ID or if you're ever in a country and you need to travel and you're outside, but you need your passport.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Cause somebody told me it was real ID compliant, but I don't know know.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You could use it as an ID but not as a passport to fly out the country.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, no, no. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I'm talking about when I'm just traveling in the States, instead of bringing my passport, can you. The airport. Can I just use that little passport?

[Lauren LaRosa]

I believe you can, yes. But not to go out the country. Yes, you can.

[Mimi Brown]

That's a good question, though. I know you can't use it as a passport to go to country to country. You're right Envy about that. But I. I wonder, is it real?

[Lauren LaRosa]

I think you can use it as a real.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Somebody told me that. I don't know if it's true, but.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You definitely can't go out out the country with it. And Delta. Delta has it where you can actually put your passport in your app and you can travel. It's easy to travel with your passport already logged in. That's great.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, me too, because I don't like carrying my physical passport through America. That feels ghetto, really.

[DJ Envy]

I feel like reassured when I had.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Not physically.

[DJ Envy]

I don't know. Maybe it's the flight attendant. I'd be needing it on me.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Mimi Brown]

Well, you can now upload it to your iPhone if you have updated your phone, and you can if you're traveling. That is something that you can try out. But remember, not all airports have that yet. So don't go. And you know, and they don't have it. And you're like, what's going on?

[Lauren LaRosa]

You don't have your real id.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Every time I made an appointment, I couldn't go.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Lauren, you got yours?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nope.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All right, y' all playing.

[DJ Envy]

All right, I'm gonna do it, though.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Mercedes, set y' all both up, but go ahead, continue on, Mimi.

[Mimi Brown]

All right, and while we're talking about big changes coming to your wallet, here's one that's gonna hit a lot closer to home than most people think. So the US has officially stopped minting new pennies this week, and retailers say that that tiny coin is more important than people think about. So without pennies, stores say that they cannot make exact change anymore, which means totals will now have to be rounded up or down to the nearest nickel. And all that rounding could quietly cost Americans an estimated $9 million more every year. So retail group said that they haven't been given any guidance on how they should, you know, charge people. So when they're rounding, should they do it on the subtotal, the tax, the final amount? No one knows. And so businesses are worried that they could face complaints or even legal troubles if they guess wrong. So there's a fairness issue, because cash customers, they might see their totals rounded, but card users, they will still have to pay that total amount. So retail associations, they are already talking with lawmakers, warning that once the penny, the circulation runs out, you can't find them anymore. Stores will have to start rounding and customers will definitely, definitely start taking notice. So while the penny may be the smallest thing in your wallet, its disappearance is raising big questions about. About what we pay every day and how purchases will be handled moving forward.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This country is really trying to get rid of everything.

[DJ Envy]

Yes. It's gonna be digital and it's gonna be so everything brown. What about people who can't go, like, won't go digital?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm not getting rid of pennies, okay? My grandma ain't never got rid of no pennies, so I ain't getting rid of no pennies. I'm gonna continue to get my goddamn wrapping paper and I'm gonna continue to wrap my pennies up, okay? I'm saving my pennies.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You still wrap the pennies up?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I still got. You see, I got my crown roll bag right here full of cool. I keep my crown. Got my crown royal bag right here. I got little plastic things all around the house with coins all in them. I don't get rid of no coins.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You know, they got a machine. You can put the coins in the machine and it gives you a receipt.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hey, man, I'm old school, you know what I'm saying? Sometimes I like to keep things the way they are, just for, you know, nostalgia purposes.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I wonder if the pennies are gonna be worth anything later on. Yeah.

[Mimi Brown]

Cause I was thinking the two dollar bill is worth something.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[Mimi Brown]

Will the pennies, you know, be worth something later on since they don't make them anymore?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I got a bunch of those, too. Salute to $2 Steve. Every time I see $2 Steve, I.

[DJ Envy]

Still got the $2 he gave me in Vegas.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I got mad $2 from him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I got two. I got pennies. I'm not getting rid of none of my coins. Don't listen to these people, okay?

[DJ Envy]

You really are old school, auntie. You are. Yes.

[Just Hilarious]

For real.

[Mimi Brown]

And. And he pulled out his pennies to show you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh. Cause I was thinking that when he said it, I was like, yeah, yeah. But you got an album coming out with NBA Youngboy, man.

[Boosie Badass]

Yeah, I got an album dropping on my birthday.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Happy Born Day.

[Boosie Badass]

I want everybody to go get it, man, and support me for my birthday, you know?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How'd that come about?

[Boosie Badass]

Well, it's been in the making. We had. Did like eight, nine. Eight, probably six, seven songs in 2020. But, you know, he got in his situation. You know, I was in my situations, and when he came home this time, he reached out to me like, let's do it it. And I'm like, let's do it. So that's how it happened.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Y' all call it a 225 business.

[Boosie Badass]

225 business.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Boosie Badass]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's that mean? I mean, I know that's what the.

[Boosie Badass]

Area called that mean. I mean, Baton Rouge business, basically. Baton Rouge business. And, I mean, it's a.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's.

[Boosie Badass]

It's a hard album. I mean, I kind of wanted more soulful stuff on there because we shot the whole cone. So every. I like this, this, this. It's that rowdy. Rowdy. Like, it's kind of rowdy. I'm. You know, like, I wanted. By me being an older artist, I kind of wanted to put some. Some more heartfelt in there. But, I mean, it's what they looking for. I'm gonna tell you that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Boosie, you one of the few people that social media has actually helped. And what I mean by that is it's definitely boosted your profile, but you got the music to match. And I see it at your shows. Like, I be wondering, I'm like, are these people fans of Boosie's music or Boosie the person? I can't tell. Yeah.

[Boosie Badass]

Yeah. I think I. Cause my daughter told me the other day, my daughter was like, daddy, I think you more famous now. Like, I can't go nowhere now. Like, I. Like, I'm, like, from 80 to 5 years old. Like, them people know me, and I think this come from social media. Like, them Facebook people. You know, the older people on Facebook, they love you. Like, them Facebook people. Like, like, I'm just grateful for it, man. I'm just grateful.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I love the fact that you, the og, can do an album with a younger artist, and y' all both so excited about it. Cause a lot of times you don't say a lot of time the older artists. I ain't working with the young. A lot of time the younger artists don't wanna work with the OGs. So how did that come about? And how do y' all keep that energy the same?

[Boosie Badass]

I think we basically came about starting doing the mixtape just from being around each other and being in the studio, him being at the crib, you know, and we just making songs together. And when you around somebody like that, it just come natural, man. It just come natural when we getting there, you know, I know how to get it started. You know, I'm gonna put that music on for him. I'm gonna set the mood right for him. And YB just go in there and do it. Like, he don't write nothing. He just look. Look for a couple minutes, go on that. In five minutes, he write the whole verse. Done.

[DJ Envy]

How much of what he. Like the hold that he has on his fans. You saw all the videos going viral from his concerts and stuff like that. How much of that and what he's doing right now reminds you of you in your earlier days in music?

[Boosie Badass]

A lot of it. You know, I went through the same struggles he went through with beef with all this stuff, you know, like all the people trying to sound like him and. And all the people trying. I went through all that, like, being somebody who all the teenagers love. It was boosie mania. But, you know, I ain't have social. I ain't have all this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They ain't compare you to Michael Jackson, though.

[Boosie Badass]

Nah, hell nah. I was like. I would say probably I sold 50 million burnt CDs, bro. Nah, he like, nah. Real.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You know what a CD is, right? Yes.

[Boosie Badass]

90% of Boosie fans. The first time you heard me was on the burnt CD from. From west coast to South Carolina. You heard me. It was on a burnt cd. See, all my. I didn't. I. I wasn't selling those millions of records because in my prime, it was burnt cd.

[DJ Envy]

We make your own.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Boosie Badass]

You get Boots And Jesus for $5 in Alabama, you know, and call it bootleg.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Bootleg city.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Boosie Badass]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So.

[Boosie Badass]

I'm talking about. But really popping off these burns, chasing these people around, trying to fight everywhere. And now to this day, I'm grateful for them bootleg tapes, bro. Them burnt CDs. I'm grateful for them tapes right now because my fans ain't had it. 20 to go.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Do that. Coaching me more, man. I remember that one video, man. I forgot what was Going, I forgot what the situation was. But when all of the people were.

[Boosie Badass]

Singing, the police, George Floyd. Yeah, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And that. You can't pay for that. Yeah, you can't pay for that. Hundreds of people out in the street protesting, and they singing your song.

[Boosie Badass]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How'd that make you feel back then?

[Boosie Badass]

I was really pissed off about George Floyd when they told me I wasn't really focusing on the record, you know, I was, you know, I get my feelings, bro. I'm a mother getting my feelings and let. And let my mouth just go sometimes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Speaking of that, how did you and Youngboy resolve y' all issues?

[Boosie Badass]

I remember Youngboy, basically him just calling me, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, he had that song, I hate Youngboy. And he said, boosie don't even call my phone no more. He don't even like me. Boosie. Tell boosie I don't need him. And then you expressed your disappointment for that on social media.

[Boosie Badass]

Right, right, right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So how did y' all connect and resolve that?

[Boosie Badass]

I guess it's just, I mean, partners argue. I mean, he called me, he came home, he called me. And I mean, once I see him on FaceTime, man, you know, it ain't nothing but a smile, bro. Like, what's the album, bitch? You know how he be, you know, like. And I guess from that phone call, it was all forgiving right there, you know, to see him home and being happy to see him home. But, you know, I always, even though if we wasn't talking out, you know, like, I with his people, you know, I with Sharronda, I with his people. Like, we tied in kind of bigger than rapper through all our friends and our community.

[DJ Envy]

Is it true y' all were working on this collab project before all of that happened?

[Boosie Badass]

Yeah, yeah, dude. We was working on this in 2020.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, you said that. So is that also kind of what held up the release of. It was just like the. Y' all had to get.

[Boosie Badass]

Nah, troubles. Troubles. You know, he was going through his house arrest. He can't be. He couldn't be around feelings or nothing like that. Then I had my troubles. I can't be around him like that, you know. So that's what it basically was. Our troubles got in the way.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Do you have those OG conversations with him, some of the stuff that you might have did?

[Boosie Badass]

Oh, yes, bro. Like, I, I, I text young boy like a uncle.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Is he receptive?

[Boosie Badass]

I don't know how receptive he is, but he'll tell you, you know, I, I give him the game, bro. I give him the Game if I see something, I tell him. I tell him about it. You know, I tell him. I, you know, I just text him, told him, man, you gotta pray, man. You know, all this money coming in, the devil is coming, boy, like, all kind of, you know, I just be, you know, just trying to uplift a little, you know, boosie.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Listen, man, mentally, how are you holding up, brother? Because we know you got.

[Boosie Badass]

Oh, I'm, I'm. I'm November 26. I'm in the best. I'm in the. Like, I'm, I'm, I'm confident. Like, like, you know, I don't. I ain't going to jail. I don't speak that out my mouth.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There you go, there you go.

[Promo Announcer]

I'm.

[Boosie Badass]

I'm from down south.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You're worried.

[Boosie Badass]

Your mouth is a powerful source.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[Boosie Badass]

But I say, you gonna kill me, you be dead. I'm telling you. I didn't see the mother gotta keep end up dead. So I don't speak none of that. You know what I'm saying? And it's still up to the judge. It's up to God, but it's up to the judge. You know, people saying he gotta do two years. That's not facts of this case. It's up to the judge what the judge won't do. But, man, I'm confident, man. I'm, I'm, I'm. Chin up, chest high. Chin up. Cheers. High.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How do you just prepare mentally, even for that day? Just even go in that courtroom. You don't survive a lot of legal battles.

[Boosie Badass]

How I prepare for it, I mean, I'm already prepared for it. I mean, this ain't my first rodeo, man. I mean, I'm already prepared for it and in every kind of way. In every kind of way, but I just don't, you know, I just. And I'm still trying to get a pardon. I'm still trying to get. I ain't giving up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Boosie Badass]

I ain't giving up my hope. I ain't giving up my hope in no pardon.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So have you reached out to his people? I know you reached out.

[Boosie Badass]

Yeah. You know, I had a meeting with. What's the lady, Miss Alice, over the pardon board. I had a meeting at the White House with them. So I spoke my case to him, let them know I feel like the system been letting me down, you know, and they heard my case case. So Trump got him to hear my case.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So, I mean, opportunity and chance.

[Boosie Badass]

It ain't over with. It ain't. But I would. I would Much rather apartment man. I won't be a free man. I won't be able to have my gun rights again and protect my family. All this I got need protection.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You got a lot of head because you need.

[Boosie Badass]

Like I need in Atlanta, Georgia is you, like, you know, so hopefully I get a part.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Alice Johnson, you talking about. How does this situation feel different from like your past legal battle battle?

[Boosie Badass]

This one seem like I'm, I'm way more confident because not only do I trust in God, because I don't have a judge that hate me this time. I've always had judges to crucify me. You know, I got 10 years for third offense marijuana, man. 30 grams, 18 grams. I never been to rehab. I already feel like the system rod me out. I was sent straight down, go color, you know, so for marijuana. So with this one, I don't feel like the judge hate me. That's why that, that, that, that's what got a big feeling in me swaying this. Because a judge is a, is a powerful opponent in the courtroom. And this judge, I don't feel like she hate me like that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I feel like this with this case, you let go a lot faster. Like it's almost like you let go of God said I'm, I'm putting in God's hand. Why was that for this case case?

[Just Hilarious]

Because.

[Boosie Badass]

If they would have came with this when I first started, this would have been over with. The first day I went to court in state court, before the feds grabbed it, I pled, I was pleading out. The judge finna give me two years probation, 2,000 things of community service in Cali. I, I was never denying this, you know, I just got caught in a bad situation and put the strap on me for hours, you know, like, I was never denying this, like trying to fight this. It got threw out in court because the law had, was passing that a 922G can't be charged if somebody doesn't have violent feelings.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What is it? 922G.

[Boosie Badass]

That's a convicted felon with a file.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, got you guys.

[Boosie Badass]

If somebody doesn't have violent felons. And I got what? Marijuana. So under the, under that case case, it was throwed out. They appealed it after. My case, they appealed it after. I'm a free man. Two weeks later, I'm on the beach in Miami. They called and say, you indicted again. Damn.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How, how can they do that?

[DJ Envy]

Because it went federal, right?

[Boosie Badass]

Because they said that I can be charged with another charge on top of that. So they gave me the Joe Biden son charge saying I was an ass addict around a gun. And they trying to use interviews that's saying that they're saying that I've done drugs on. How am I, you know, in my addict if you never sent me to rehab for marijuana? So this back and forth now, this three, four years this going on. If you would have told me, I. You can. Two years would be the max they can give me from the dump. Chin up, chest high, let's go. But if I appeal this again, now we're looking at two, three more years, right? All this. I. I ain't got time for this. So I, you know, I. I fold.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And do you. You feel like because state level they was good money. Do you feel like somebody's after boosie? Like it's like they want to make.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

For what reason?

[Boosie Badass]

Of course.

[Lauren LaRosa]

How does boosie hurt somebody? Like for what reason?

[Boosie Badass]

I think you silent. Tired of seeing this haircut when you wake up, you know your kid. You just tired. People just. You either gotta love me or you can't stand. I've like feelings like there's no in between with me and people. People after me, bro. Like, you know, I rub some. I don't give a who you are. You. You have no stipulation. If you. I'm not gonna. Because you got money. I'm not gonna. You know, I was going at Zuckerberger. I was going to everybody who the is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, Zuckerberg.

[DJ Envy]

I was like, you know his name, you know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I got you, Mark Zuckerberg.

[Boosie Badass]

Like I was going at powerful people, like stopping my motion and I still keep going like. And mother don't like that. Like, mother like I done with people in first class and be like, you're that Boosie guy. Like, I'm just a scum of every plate.

[DJ Envy]

If you know that there are people who feel like that and that that fight is happening behind the scenes. Like somebody's coming for you, right? What would you say to the people that say, well, why put yourself back in this position again? Like, why even be have guns on you in that position?

[Boosie Badass]

They just caught me slipping. Like I wasn't planning to clutch there. My main security missed this flight, so I only went with one security. My security checked both of the guns in. So when we get there, one of the security ain't there, but my other security got two guns. So it's me and him. So I get a call. I got. I got a bag booster 15th. I come do a video. I go on the video. When I get to the Video, it's the trenches, you know what I'm saying? It's. This is the alleyway, you know, So I decided to. Nobody ain't make me home. I decided to put the strap on me. You know that. That was my decision. That wasn't a Crips decision. It wasn't they fault. I'm here. He got one, I got one. After this video, we gone. And. And that's how I thought it was gonna be.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But where was big homie at? 6,7.

[Boosie Badass]

He got. That's what I told you. He got. Oh, no, he don't go nowhere. No, no, no. I ain't gonna shoot no gun.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He could have held.

[Boosie Badass]

He the businessman. He take care of.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

A lot of people do feel online like you being targeted because of your voice.

[John B.]

I am.

[Boosie Badass]

That's what it's about. Because Boosie gonna say it, and ain't nobody else gonna say it. And that's. And you know, I'm. You know, I love it. You know I love it because the love I get for it is different, bro.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Like, always had just one question about that.

[Boosie Badass]

That incident.

[Lauren LaRosa]

How could they prove that gun was real? Because they just seen from videos and pictures. It could have been a stunt gun. It could have been a fake gun.

[Boosie Badass]

Nah, they pulled me over. They pulled me over when I was leaving the video set.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay, so everywhere.

[Boosie Badass]

Stay everywhere they are. Yeah, they already knew.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Of course you remember that.

[Boosie Badass]

But yeah, yeah, they already knew. They had the. They already knew, like, as soon as they pulled it over, then, you know, they gonna swipe the guns for the DNA. After they. In my DNA.

[Lauren LaRosa]

They wanted you. Wanted you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If you could spot. Speak directly to the judge or the system handling your case, what would you want them to understand about who you are, man, versus who you used to be?

[Boosie Badass]

I'm a dad, man. I'm a. You know, I ain't committing crimes. You know, I go to basketball games, be a daddy, get money on the weekends, and, you know, I'm a. I vote. I was voting, man. I'm a citizen, like, so, you know, I just let them tell them, don't let. Don't let me be judged off the worst things I said on social media, you know, So I trust in God, Charlamagne. God gonna get. Go talk to that judge and do all that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I agree.

[Boosie Badass]

Yeah. That's how I feel like. I just feel like I'm gonna be all right. But whatever happened, chin up, chest high.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What if the judge is gay? Oh, no. Oh, my gosh.

[Boosie Badass]

Don't even.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Don't even answer that Boosie.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm not asking.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Don't even answer that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm not asking.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Don't even answer that.

[Just Hilarious]

I wanna know.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I know you and Diddy were cool at one time.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Have you.

[Lauren LaRosa]

[Boosie Badass]

Nah, I ain't speak to Diddy, bro. But you know, Diddy was my partner, bro. You know, I've been. I feel like Diddy ain't never did nothing wrong, bro. I just feel like he didn't do nothing wrong. I'm mad at him right now, though.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Why you mad at him now?

[Boosie Badass]

Cause he went on the floor crying at the thing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He was happy, Boosie. He was happy that them charges got done.

[Boosie Badass]

No, he went on the floor crying.

[DJ Envy]

He was emotional. At some points in court, he went.

[Boosie Badass]

On the floor and went under the thing, cried chin up, chest off, nigga, his baby. You mean you did it? They went back there laughing at you. Did you see that down there in a fetal position?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So. But. So.

[Boosie Badass]

But hey, you got your turn in there. You a man. You stand up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Biggest charges got dropped. He was happy.

[Lauren LaRosa]

40, 50 years. He was happy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He dropped his knees and say a prayer, bro.

[Boosie Badass]

He was crying under the table.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He was happy. The biggest charges got dropped.

[Boosie Badass]

They were trying to crying under the table, bro.

[Lauren LaRosa]

He was crying under the table, and.

[Boosie Badass]

He thought he was going home. He was crying on the table. I want to talk to Diddy. He need to call my phone. I need to ask him, why the did you get down there under that table and that? Cause I've been riding with him. I've been riding with him. Yeah, I've been riding. But you got boys in there, man. You stand up, man. God didn't bless you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If you're going to jail, you're going.

[Boosie Badass]

To jail for something you got away with a million times. That's why we go to jail. If we gonna keep it real, you stand up. You still bless your mama.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You, you.

[Boosie Badass]

Everybody blessed. You don't fold like no cricket.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let me ask you.

[Boosie Badass]

But, like, again, I'm expecting somebody to be like me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let me ask you one question.

[Boosie Badass]

Boosie ain't built like that, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

When you had left New York City and hooked up with P. Diddy, what did y' all do when you hooked up? That's the worst line ever.

[Boosie Badass]

I skipped that line on the show. I get to tell him, put your hands up. Put your hands up, P. Diddy. Put your hands up. Put your hands up. Yeah, they on my ass about that line as soon as he got indicted.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What y' all do in your hook.

[Boosie Badass]

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, you missed that one.

I hear that your assistant was under there.

[Boosie Badass]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No how you want to be remembered, Boosie, you ain't going nowhere. But I just want.

[Boosie Badass]

I won't be remembered.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How does. I'm talking about the art.

[Boosie Badass]

I won't be remembered as. As a legend all the way around the board. From music to everything I've done, from acting to shooting films. I won't be. I won't. I won't be looked at as a lit legend. And I won't be looked at as someone who can't be cloned because you're gonna have a clone coming every month. A clone come for somebody every 20 years. I don't think I'm gonna be cloned. You know what I'm saying? They always got somebody that gonna be compared to Michael Jackson. They're gonna have. Somebody could be compared to Michael Jordan. I don't want Never nobody to be compared to Boost. I won't be. I won't be unclogging when the day I'm gone, they gonna. It gonna be. It gonna be like Boosie wouldn't know. I wish Boosie was. I. I know Boosie wouldn't. And that man and. And. And that mean everything to me, bro. Just. Just, Just being a. Just being a legend. That's how I just won't be looked at. That's what keep me going. You know, I go in my phone, just like. I look at the hating. I look at all the good that motivate me like a mother. Motivate me like a. When people just love you so much and they tell these stories, that's what gets you stored. I don't even know if some of them be true.

[DJ Envy]

What's the last story that got you.

[Boosie Badass]

Girls just saying that me having diabetes make her take her medicine. Like she won't take her medicines till she starts seeing me take my medicine, you know?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, that's real.

[Boosie Badass]

That's real. Because you have diabetes and you don't want to take this because it's too much for you. So I'm motivating people all kind of ways. Just like, dude just told me, boosie, you make me be a better daddy every day. He said, you one of the only I seen really being a dad on the Internet. Like, that make me go home and be a daddy, you know? Cause I'm motivating this little. 16, 17 years old. He say 16 with two kids, bro. Like, I gave him motivation just for, you know, for being a daddy. Some people gonna give you motivation all other kind of ways to get money. I do that, too. But I give people motivation in all kind of ways to speak up for yourself, not be quiet. If you feel something right, you have the right to speak about it just like everybody else. Because it's called freedom of speech. Like I told my mom, it's freedom of speech. It's not a crime, but just not.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Do it until after symptoms, just in case.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right, Boosie Badass. Y' all make sure y' all go get a 225 business with NBA YoungBoy on Boosie birthday. Happy early born day, too.

[Boosie Badass]

You already know, y'.

[DJ Envy]

All.

[Boosie Badass]

I'm on Miami for my birthday. November 17th. Topless yacht party.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All right. Oh, boy, oh, boy. It's the Breakfast Club. It's Boosie Badass. Let's get right to the latest with Lauren.

[Boosie Badass]

Lauren becoming a straight fat.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She gets them from somebody that knows.

[DJ Envy]

I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She be having the latest on the.

[Just Hilarious]

Latest with Lauren LaRosa.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes she have a little bit of everything. What was the latest on the Breakfast Club?

[DJ Envy]

So really quick, before we get started, I did want to send Reverend Jesse Jackson some love. Yesterday. The story broke that he is hospitalized currently. You know, he's been dealing with PSP on top of some other things for some time now. And the rainbow psp.

[Lauren LaRosa]

What's psp?

[DJ Envy]

PSP is progressive super supangular. I said that wrong. I know I did. Palsy. So it's a neurodegenerative condition that he's been dealing with for more than a decade. So he's hospitalized right now in relation to the condition. There's not a lot of details, but his organization or the organization, the Rainbow Push Coalition, they put out a statement yesterday just letting people know that he had been hospitalized and that they're keeping a close eye on him and, you know, just asking for prayers at this time. So I did want to make sure we mentioned that and send him some prayers and some love of as they, you know, just deal with the health things that he's currently dealing with.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's on top of the Parkinson's.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, that's on top of the Parkinson's. Yes. Yep.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Salute to South Carolina's own Reverend Jesse Jackson. And listen, man, Abby Phillips book A Dream Deferred, Jesse Jackson and the Fight for Black Political Power. Fantastic read. If you ever, if you might have Jesse Jackson effed up.

[Boosie Badass]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Jesse Jackson's 84. He been fighting 84 years for our community and culture.

[DJ Envy]

Yes, he has. Yeah. So wishing him, you know, just get well soon in good health. But switching gears to, you know, some happier news. Cardi B and Stefan Diggs have welcomed their baby boy. So this is Cardi's fourth child. And the news broke yesterday. So I. Okay, so here's how it went down. So Cardi B was in the gym. This video is. Is from last week. I believe TMZ got that video and posted the video. Right. In the video, you could tell that. That she wasn't pregnant anymore. Literally minutes after this story went up, Cardi B then went and posted on her Instagram a video of her. She was headed out to a opening that she was going to be there celebrating. And she posted in the video, you could tell she's not pregnant anymore, that her life has always been a combination of different chapters, different seasons. She says her last chapter was the beginning of a new season. Starting over is not easy, but she says it's been worth it. She says her new baby that she just brought into the world is one of the reasons to be the best version of herself and to love herself even more. And this chapter, she says it's her versus her against all the odds and everything that is meant to be will be going her way. And according to reports, you know, of course, Stefon Diggs was there as they welcomed the baby in this. They welcomed the baby last week. So I don't know if she wanted to reveal the news or she had to, but we now know that they did welcome their baby.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Dropping a clues bonds for big Body man. Yeah, glad she had a healthy delivery.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And I hate the fact that, that, you know, she can't announce the baby when she wants to announce the baby. I think that's. That's, that's horrible.

[DJ Envy]

I don't know and it's always tmz, you know, let me tell you, always.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

TMZ blowing up people's spot, man.

[DJ Envy]

But I don't know for sure. I'm just telling y' all how I watched this go down. Because as soon as I saw the video, I hit the reps. Like, hey, I just saw the video. What's happening? Is there an announcement, whatever? Heard nothing back. And then TMZ story went. And I text them back like, h, I just saw her video. So I don't know how it went down, but it looked as if. If she might have posted it. And also too, she was going to be out at this celebration that she was out at in New York. She was out in New York.

[Lauren LaRosa]

She was at a regular gym, too. Like, Cardi got a big ass crib. She need to get a gym in the crib.

[DJ Envy]

Cardi, maybe she needs to be around people as she works out.

[Lauren LaRosa]

They sneak pictures and stuff like that. Nah.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, but I mean, I will say, though, she was out. That video she posted was the outfit before she headed out or after. So maybe she was heading out as well. So she's like, man, eff it. Let me just let the people know so I can live peaceful.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Does TMZ give any grades? Lauren used to work there. The TMZ ever say, you know what? Let's. Let's pump our brakes a little bit.

[DJ Envy]

Bit, yes. Pete Davidson, when he was here, we didn't mention that it was tmz, but he talked about an outlet finding out about his pregnancy and giving him some grace because of different things that were happening. And it was.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But outlet still shouldn't give you a timeline. Outlet shouldn't say, okay, we'll give you this.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I mean, we'll give you a month.

[Boosie Badass]

Like, I think it's my life.

[DJ Envy]

So I understand. Like there I had to learn the middle point of being a human and being a investigative journalist on the people's business by coming here to the Breakfast Club. And I am still learning it. But what I will say is, I mean, it is a job to do celebrity news. So it's like you give the grace, but at the same time, if another outlet were to find out certain things, they're going to just go with it. But I think you. It just, It's a person.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But certain things, like if you're pregnant or if somebody passes away, like you should, you should let the people announce it when they want to announce it, because especially if somebody's pregnant and it's a high, you know, problematic pregnancy, you don't want them to give them that stress, and maybe there's a reason why they don't want to put that out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So give Grace tmz, because we're gonna give Harvey grace when he gets get pregnant. All right. All right, Harvey, when you get pregnant, I'm gonna give you grace.

[DJ Envy]

We don't know all of the details on the back end, so we don't know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Whoa. Shoot.

[DJ Envy]

Dang. Sorry, Barbie. I mean to say that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wow.

[Just Hilarious]

Dang.

[DJ Envy]

That's it. I had so much more.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What more you got?

[DJ Envy]

Okay, so first of all, NBA young boy. I wanted to. We haven't talked about the tour for real up here. But yesterday he celebrated selling out 45 dates on the master tour. 500, 000 tickets sold.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wow.

[DJ Envy]

Or over to 75 million plus in revenue. They brought out a big plaque and everything on stage. I wanted to congratulate him for that. Yeah, I know, Boosie. We just heard talking about that Kendrick Lamar and Sza broke the record for highest grossing hip hop tour with the G with a grand national tour ever.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That's dope. Congratulations. Drop bombs. I like that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Kendrick's done that a couple of times. By the way. I forgot. I think the Mr. Morale and the Big Stepper toes. The highest grossing hip hop toy at.

[DJ Envy]

One point, reportedly it managed to rake in more than3.332 million dollars so far. Yeah, It's a huge milestone. Yeah. Insane. So congratulations to them as well. I also saw that 50 Cent is finished everything with the G Unit studios in Shreveport.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm not sure.

[DJ Envy]

He posted it yesterday. Yeah, he posted it yesterday, which I think is also a big accomplishment as well, too. So we had a bit more with Meg and her, me and her, me and her, me and her baby. But y' all can go over, over to the Latest with Lauren LaRosa, the podcast. And we'll be getting into Meg's business with her man, the Black Effect Network. Okay, okay, okay, okay.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I think we're going back out to Shreveport. I think March. We're gonna do another thing. I believe it's March April.

[DJ Envy]

Well, there'll be more there for you to see because he said it's up and running and it is ready.

Okay.

[Caller]

And it messed up the pricing for everybody. So the. Every time you go through the easy pass, you're not being charged.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So once that.

[Caller]

Once that happened, your bill just gets increased. So now I got a bill for $900 because they won't charge you photo for the easy pass. And then they send you a bill saying that you need to pay more. Who told you I got money to pay more? I work every day.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So hold on. They're not charging you every time you go through it don't come out automatically if.

[Caller]

No, because they couldn't handle all the money that was going through the system. It messed up the system. So when the congestion price and everybody going through, they sending out notifications that all the payments is from months behind.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wow.

[Caller]

So now they tell you that, oh, you have to be put on a payment plan. You get put on the payment plan, but even the new charges that's coming through, they won't charge you for them. So your bill is just building up. So anytime you call them, they tell you, well, you should just pay more. Who told you I can pay more?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I hope that's not true. True. Because we don't need. We don't need no financial surprises in this trying financial time. Damn. But we do that every Friday. Oh, you want to take one more?

I'm blessed, man. Good to be with you guys, man. Thanks for having me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, it's so funny, I saw you say somewhere it might have been Vlad tv, where you were the first white R B singer. And I'm like, damn, you right? That I remember between you and Color.

[John B.]

Me Back, I. I remember, you know, other people being in R B, but I don't remember any of them claiming R B the way I have got, like Michael McDonald, you know? You know, he was very soulful. You know, Holler Notes. Very soulful. The Bee Gees, you know, this, you know, Tina Marie was an R B. Oh, absolutely. You know what I mean? And she claimed R B. So that's. That's all I basically was saying is I. I feel like I was one of the first ones to really claim R B. You know, George Michaels, he was soulful, but he wasn't an R and B.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They weren't saying they were R B artists.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, I wonder if that was because they were white. And so the labels probably was like, don't say you're rb because that would limit. Limit you.

[John B.]

There you go.

[DJ Envy]

Did they tell you that?

[John B.]

Not tell me that. They showed me in their own way. Like, I want you to work with Diane Warren, David Foster and make a pop record. And I'm like, I don't really want to do that, but I'm gonna do it to satisfy you guys. I don't want to look like a difficult artist, you know, but I was like, more interested in working with Tupac, you know, more interested working with Babyface Orange is, you know, real R B and hip hop, not doing, doing pop music.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Where'd you get your start, John B.

[John B.]

Man, you know, just singing in. In Altadena, Pasadena and talent shows and, you know, basically just really loving the music and being around other guys who loved it too. And demoing, you know, basically, you know, getting equipment at an early age enough to be able to make demos. You know, not everybody had a keyboard, not everybody had a, you know, multi track recorder. So those things were tools back in the day. And I just, rather than being outside playing ball or whatever else everybody else was doing, I was in there writing records and making, making songs. And by the time I was 16, I had a full, you know, demo ready and just trying to shop it around. And by 18, I had a deal.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

When you debuted with Bonafide, what was the sound you would chase?

[John B.]

Well, I mean, I will say my first album was very heavily Babyface influenced and wanted to be one of the. The guys that he was, you know, collaborating with. You know, I saw how he collaborated with Tony Braxton and with TLC and with Bobby Brown and with After7, all my favorite RB growing up. So I thought, what would it be like if I allowed him to produce me? You know, what does that sound like? What does our sound? What our. What would our voices sound like? We blended them together on one record. So Someone to Love was our first time getting to do that. And it's one thing to be a fan, but then when you get to actually work with the person and, and you know, and hear all of the lessons, learn how. How do you put a chorus together? Oh, damn. That's how many notes you have to do on the. On the stack of the backgrounds. Like, I remember stacking that chorus up so many tracks. And I had never done anything like that before as a vocalist, so it taught me a lot. You know, just that first session with.

[DJ Envy]

With Kenny, I saw somewhere you turned down a ton of like, million dollar deals skills to stay signed with Baby and his wife.

[John B.]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Talk about your loyalty to him and, you know, what, the decision to be loyal to him, but also how that paid off for you.

[John B.]

I'm A Scorpio. I mean, we're loyal, but I mean, I will say that it feels good to be 30 years and still have gratitude, you know, not only for what I'm getting to do right currently, right now with you guys and everything that this new album and everything and the support and all the collaborations I have on the new album, but everything that I've gotten to do, you know, the 30 year career and what that would be, I don't know what that would look like if, if Kenny and Tracy didn't give me that opportunity. And I've never lost sight of that. You know, the business and the, the patience that it takes to be in this business is never, it's never changed. You know, you're either going to have the patience or not, you know, and certain people just, they, it's like, you know, I could feel it. It's like the energy, the love for the music doesn't supersede how much they hate the business, so they don't continue with the music. And I don't want to be one of those guys. I don't want the music to be overshadowed by the business being what it is, because the business is a messed up business.

[Boosie Badass]

Let's, let's.

[John B.]

Who has like the story that, that needs to be told with as far as like the business going good the whole time?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The whole time, since the time I came in, it was fantastic.

[John B.]

You know, who has that story? But I think that, you know, that's what. That's when it comes down to having the passion for what you do, you know, do you really? Do you believe it still? Because if you don't believe it, why should we as the listeners, you know? So I hope that what I'm doing currently now with my music conveys the point that, you know, I still love what I do.

[DJ Envy]

I know that there was like a bit of a back and forth at one point a couple years ago with you and Babyface over like you were saying that you weren't paid for certain things. He was saying that it wasn't his duty to pay you. And he was kind of like disappointed. He said that you let the narrative go. Where does that conversation stand now with you guys?

[John B.]

Well, it's interesting that he would say that because I was signed to his production company, which was called, called Edmunds Record Group. So that's the deal that you talk about me passing up the other deals so I could sign with Babyface. You know, that's the company that I signed with now. They were distributed and they had their they were a subsidiary label of Epic Records. So I had basically half my deal with Epic and half my deal with Kenny and Tracy. But the deal that I signed was a cross collateralized deal deal with all of the other artists that they had signed to their label.

[Just Hilarious]

Now cross collect the wait was worth it. Positive affirmations and all the hard work, the keys to your dream home from the vision board have been secured. I see you. A whole new future awaits your planning. From top notch decor but on a budget to late night backyard summer cookouts, life feels good. Now comes the time to fill it with memories. What will you host first? Maybe movie night, game night stories that make us laugh and spades tournaments that make us cry. First you need to get movers and new furniture. And what about party favors? Will there be a theme? Of course it's theme because you're always doing the most oh yeah, the food to cook or order out. Don't forget to put it in the group chat so everybody can already see who gonna be there. Yeah, all that planning can be stressful, but insuring your home shouldn't be. And that's where State Farm comes in. Because State Farm agents can help you choose the coverage you need. Just call, go online or check out the app. An agent is ready to help so you can focus on showing off your new home. If you know, you know like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.

[John B.]

Brand collateralized means that basically whatever those artists spent, whatever they were given, advances, any money, I'm responsible for that under my budget to recoup that. So basically none of those artists ever really came out, but they all got recording budgets and they all got living stipends and whatever. So at the end of the day, it's a lot of money, right? So basically what it was is that I'm in a situation where I'm not only recouping what I'm spending myself, I'm recouping what this entire label is spending, you know what I'm saying? And that's, I think that's a great responsibility to put on a 19 year old kid who's writing, producing everything, pretty much himself, but just wants to work with his hero. You know, that was a great deal to, you know, to have to, you know, to sign that deal was, it wasn't the greatest deal, let's put it like that, but to work with Babyface you know, that was what I really had my mind set on. So all of the money part, all of the sort of, like the business part, I really let that kind of like, be not as important. So it. That's why it's taken so long to get to come full circle, but it's been so long that they have to come full circle now. And that's where we're. That's where we're currently at right now. It's unfortunate that he didn't really have my back in seeing how loyal I've been all this time by not speaking on none of this. You know what I mean? It hasn't been easy, but what really hasn't been easy is to be so supportive of him and then have it not be returned, like, in the sense of him just know, knowing what everything that I sort of like, you know, did to have that. That opportunity to work with him, you know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And that's what I meant when I said the loyalty being returned. I didn't know about that situation in particular, but just being a loyal person. Yeah, sometimes you sacrifice a lot for yourself, but it don't never come back as the person you being loyal to. Don't give it back to you.

[John B.]

And that's on him. You know what I mean? If that's how he wants to address the situation, that's on him. You know, when we've seen each other out in public and stuff like that, when we do shows together, together, it's not the same. You know what I mean? And we're not. We're not really. I mean, we're. We're cordial, but we're not. You know, it's the. The relationship hasn't really blossomed, you know, into what I thought it would be. After all of that, that I sacrificed in my. In my. In my career, I would have definitely wanted to see him at my wedding. Definitely wanted. Would want to see him to, you know, introduce him to my kids. So it's like that. That part of it hurts me, the fact that we can't go on tour together because I don't really know that Kenny even really likes me as a person, actually, you know, it's. It's interesting, but I don't really care because I did what I. I did what I got to do with care, though. I care because I love the guy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[John B.]

But I don't care if a person's gonna be negative, just to be negative and tell a negative story or sort of like not respond to what the truth is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, you married To a black woman.

[John B.]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How do you. Great. Great choice, by the way.

[DJ Envy]

Great choice, by the way.

[Boosie Badass]

Yes, I know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How do you and your wife feel about Dr. Umar Johnson? You don't know who that is?

[John B.]

I don't know who that is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, don't worry about it.

[DJ Envy]

Brought our question over here.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm sorry.

[DJ Envy]

It's totally fine that you don't know who that is. I guess. Speaking of. So you talk. We talked a bit about your daughters. I know you said you don't want to talk a lot about it, but the Chloe moment, when Chloe was here and she reacted to you talking about her song.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

You seeing her moment here made you like kind of rethink about how you said things when you were asked about her covering.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

They don't know that you mentioned it's because you're raising black, you know, daughters.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

You wanted to be more careful.

[John B.]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Talk about that realization in real time because the world was like, wait, is happening.

[John B.]

Oh, I mean, it's interesting to have an opinion in this day and age because it's, it's a responsibility. You know, sometimes you can say what you, what you think and it's the way that you say it that can be misconstrued, you know, because everybody doesn't have to like everything. You know, obviously we live in a cancel culture like society now where if you say something the wrong way, you can be canceled very fast, whatever that means. But yeah, but you know, in, in whatever it means, I think is that people lose respect for you and so they, they don't mess with you as much. And for me, it's like I, I, I'm counting on people to, to continue to, to, you know, to support me. So I'm never, I never want to mess my chance up of that. And first of all, I'm a mature man. I know when to take a L and say my bad. I didn't mean that. The worst part about it is raising daughters and seeing when they get disappointed how their facial expressions look and how their voices change and they, you know, to see that happen with her.

[DJ Envy]

Your 18 year old is a Chloe fan?

[John B.]

Well, yeah, I mean, she, you know, she could feel her energy when she was reacting to it. So could I, being that I'm raising an 18 year old.

[DJ Envy]

Right.

[John B.]

And she's not that much older. I mean, you know, but she's a young girl, so. So to see that I made her feel that way, you know, made me feel bad because I never want to insult anyone or make them feel bad, especially when they're incredibly talented like that. I guess what I want to say is come collaborate with me for real, you know, come collab. Let me have a chance to really work with you. She's so incredibly talented that I just don't feel like that showed the real. You know what? I want to see us how. I want to see our style, styles collaborate together. I think, you know, it worked for what they did for it. It was just kind of like a. A jump to put out. But I don't know if I could really get behind that and say that I like that joint, you know what I mean? I felt like my song is very, very deep and meaningful. And when you turn a meaningful record into sort of like a record that's just sort of like, oh, I just want to. I just want to have sex with you, and let's do it good. Then later, you know what I mean? It kind of. That's fair, you know what I mean? It's just kind of like that's not what I want to tell my 11 year old, you know, right now, you know what I mean? So. Just kind of made me feel like speaking on it and be like, they're like, you like it? I'm like, nah, I don't like it. But now I'm like, I feel bad about saying that, you know, because I know that, you know, for every action there's a reaction and trying to put good, positive energy out in the world. I'm trying to build. Build people up, not break them down.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You got a joint for her, you got a record for her?

[John B.]

Definitely got a record for her. And if I don't, I will make it for it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, that's my cousin.

[John B.]

No, she's, she's amazing. They're so, they're so talented and so beautiful, you know, I mean, they got the full package. It's. Yeah, it's just a matter of us getting in the studio and just making some magic happen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How does John B. Want to be remembered?

[John B.]

I want to be remembered as an atmosphere creator, somebody who was really honest with his emotions and somebody who just made Baby Maker Music.

[DJ Envy]

Definitely made that.

[John B.]

I think that, you know, at the end of the day, I want to be remembered as a guy who was, you know, you know, he gave his all, you know, in terms of, like everything I do, really, from being a father to being a husband to a songwriter and a performer. I sing my heart out on stage. Every show I do. Do you know whether they're giving it up and giving me the energy, I. I want to have or, or not, you know, it's an. Because it's the passion for what I do, you know, so. Yeah, I want to be remembered for that. Really? Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, John B. You're doing a phenomenal job, man. We here talking about 30, the 30th anniversary of bonafide. So that means something.

[John B.]

Yes, sir.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Man, I hope you and Babyface can reconcile too, man.

[John B.]

Yeah, me too, man. I think that things are coming full circle regardless. And because of that, you know, I think it's just, it's, you know, it's a matter of just us literally chopping it up one day and just letting each other know how we feel. But that's. That that definitely needs to happen in a, in a private setting and not on a public forum, you know, where it's. I, I heard you say this and you know what I mean? And then I'm reacting to that on, on this thing, on this public forum over here is it's going to continue tit for tat forever until we just sit down as grown ass men and being like, hey, listen, still got love for you.

[DJ Envy]

You never tried to just call him.

[John B.]

I feel like at this, at this point, the only time that I, I've ever been able to get in touch with him is by going and contacting him. That's all it's ever been, is me get reaching out to him. It's never been the other way, so. And I just feel like there's only so much you can give to something before if it's not like you said, if you're not, it's like you showed loyalty. But is the loyalty being shown back?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Absolutely.

[John B.]

In fact, I feel like from the truth that I've told and how I've been honest, it's only got, it's only made him sort of more angry because, you know, he doesn't want people to know those ins and outs of the business, which I understand. But in no way have I defamed him or talk, you know, said Babyface did this to me. He, he wronged me, you know. No, it's not that at all. He only gets praised by me. That's all I do is praise Babyface. But it would be nice also to see him, you know, return in this day and age right now, that same kind of energy back my way.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You got a Valentine's Day cruise happening too, right?

[John B.]

Yeah, Valentine's Day cruise, yeah. We try to do something. I think it's fitting for the album waiting on you. You know, what better way to take in the new album than to, you know, play it on a cruise ship, you know, and go. We're going to go sail to Ensenada, Mexico, and we're going to go to Catalina. Just a little mini cruise, you know, three day jump. But it's. It's going to be fun and up close and personal with the fans and, you know, do the grown up thing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let's do it. Well, it's John B. Thank you for coming, my brother Charlamagne. Thank you. Yes, sir. I appreciate you, man. It's the Breakfast Club.

[Lauren LaRosa]

The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lon Laros is here as well. And it's time for Pasta Oaks.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nala Simone, Big Nala Nyla. What's happening?

[Nyla Simone]

How are you guys? Happy Friday. All right, so I got some new joints that I want to play for you guys. Obviously, Summer Walker dropped finally over it. We've been waiting for this project for.

[Mimi Brown]

A very long time.

[Nyla Simone]

So I'm gonna just shout out this record called Baller. I still need some time to sit with the album. So this wasn't my favorite, but I think this one would probably be the best for radio because it has Glorilla, Sexyy Red and Monte Leo on it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Sound good? It sound good to me.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. They said Monolayo dominates the song.

[Lauren LaRosa]

She.

[Nyla Simone]

She's been on a run.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, you know, I saw some of the. The feedback on X this morning and they were like, literally, it's her song.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm sure the record is fired, but not at a time like this, all right? The government just reopened, okay? Folks haven't been paid in 40 days.

[Boosie Badass]

All right? You ain't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You ain't about to find no Baller nowhere around here somewhere. I guess that's why she was walking around with that old white man.

[Nyla Simone]

She found something, she gotta get something.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, get you a little sugar daddy.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I like that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

People trying to get. Get back on their feet. All right, Chat.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Y' all like the record?

[John B.]

Chat.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I like the record.

[DJ Envy]

This is true.

[Nyla Simone]

And I will say, she got records on there with Mariah the Scientist, Lotto and Doja Cat. I really like that one. It's called Go Girl Innocent Pack, Chris Brown, Sailor, Bryson Tiller, 21 Savage, Brent Fies, you know, some of my favorites. So definitely make sure you guys check that out. Now I'm about to get into my rat bag. Deep in my rat bag. DJ Premier and Ransom dropped this record that I thought was pretty tough. And I feel like Ransom is slipped on. So this is Called Reinvent Dementia.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Fire. Fire.

[Nyla Simone]

Tough.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Dropping the clues. Bombs from ran some fire. You know, the only person. Only other person I've heard tackle that topic. You talking about his mom with Alzheimer's or dementia. Which one was it?

[Nyla Simone]

I'm not sure.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay. Dementia Rhapsody did that on Loose Rocks.

[Nyla Simone]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And to me, those are real life issues that people go through. But I don't know why that hasn't made it in music before now. Like, I don't know why people are just getting comfortable talking about the subject of having a loved one who's experiencing dementia.

[Nyla Simone]

That's true.

[Promo Announcer]

True.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because I've seen that, you know, devastate people.

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Devastate family. So salute to Ransom and Rhapsody. Go check out Loose Rocks. If you haven't, check out that new Ransom record. That's tough.

[Nyla Simone]

And Premiere, because the production is crazy.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, that's tough. That's tough. Tough tune. Tough tune.

[Nyla Simone]

Yes. Well done. All right, so this next one is also OG hip hop, and I'm gonna do two of them. And then. But next week I got some of the newer rappers, but this is De La, so, you know, they dropping a project they're part of, like, the Mass Appeal rollout that's going on. And the first single off of it.

[DJ Envy]

Is called the Packet Fire Cabin In Disguise project. Right.

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Nyla Simone]

And I'm happy to see it because, you know, they be trying to age out hip hop.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So that's been over.

[Nyla Simone]

Oh, it's been over.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's been over. Y' all youngest been wetting the bed. Y' all suck. A lot of y'. All. But a lot of y' all are very dope as well. But the OGs have been putting in work and Mass Appeal does a great job.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Of making sure that the OGs put out great projects that, you know, give people. They just do. That's right.

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's the best hip hop label out right now.

[Nyla Simone]

Yes, I agree. I think that's a great statement.

[Lauren LaRosa]

What they did, they did Mob Deep, they did De La Soul, they did.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Big L, Big L, Ghost Face, Rayquan, Slick Rick. I think Coog rap like a movie.

[DJ Envy]

With his project, too. It was like a mini visual.

[Nyla Simone]

Oh, I didn't see it. But, yeah, they're going crazy over there.

[Just Hilarious]

There.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was tough.

[Mimi Brown]

Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Nyla Simone]

Rap is in a really good space. I don't know. I keep seeing stupid headlines.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But no, it is on both ends, though. Like, you got a bunch of dope young spitters, and then you got a bunch. The OG still doing their thing. Anybody who's saying rap is whack or hip hop is dead? Y' all not listening. Y'. All. Y' all cannot be listening. I can name you five dope ass young rappers and I can name you five OGs. That's still putting in work right now. Look at the. Look at the rap album of the year. I'm saying. Not saying the Grammys are. You know, we need them for validation. But look at their categories. I know from the clips, the Kendrick, the J. What are we talking about? Hip hop is on fire right now.

[DJ Envy]

People just want stuff to yell about. That's why they still had those conversations. Because I also feel like with the R B conversation, when they be like, R B. Don't feel like there are people that are doing their own thing in R B right now as well too.

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah, no, R B is in great hands. I'm very happy for Leon Thomas with that. But speaking of R B being in good hands, this is my last one. It's from upcoming artist from New Jersey. His name is Nate Taylor. And this record is called With Up.

[DJ Envy]

Need to hear more.

[Nyla Simone]

More.

[DJ Envy]

Dislike you though.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Is it called seven days a Week?

[Nyla Simone]

No, no.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's it called?

[Nyla Simone]

What's up?

[John B.]

Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I don't dislike it. It just sound like something I heard before. It sound like the weekend. Sound like the weekend. You know what I mean?

[DJ Envy]

Like, it's like we got to the climax of it.

[Boosie Badass]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It don't. It didn't happen. Yeah, I've heard that before. You know what I'm saying? It s. It's. It sound like the weekend but on a Tuesday.

[Nyla Simone]

Okay. You know what I mean? That's a. That's a great statement. He does sound like the weekend on a Tuesday. He does, but he's like the weekend but like sprinkle. Fine, Fine. All right, well, if. If you like the records, definitely make sure you guys check them out on the certified playlist. You can find them at ww certifiedb.com or you can click the link in my bio. The website link is there. And then also we have another the Eco going down with Rob Markman, 9th wonder static selector at Hidden Tiger, December 16th. So definitely make sure you guys. Guys pull up and we're going to start dropping tickets next week, so.

[Charlamagne Tha God]
