Oh, that's not her stud name. What's her Stud name. Her name is Snoop Damien.

[Jess Hilarious]

And you know, Snoop from the Wire. She's also on a show on BET plus called American Gangster. Trap Queens. And trap queens is what they do is they highlight a woman that was in the game, whether it was in the streets, whether it was selling drugs or it was prostitution or whatever it may be.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Not glorifying, though, like, they're just telling a person story.

[Jess Hilarious]

They tell a story.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. Cause they did. Actually did one on her.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. But, you know, she's. She's overcome that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But she's never been a prostitute. Envy. So.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, she just.

[Jess Hilarious]

No, no, no. Gangster Trap Queens is women that are. Are, you know, not prostitutes, but actually run the whole ring and things like Madams. Madams. That's. That's the term I was looking for. Yeah. All right. But she did play a prostitute.

[Lauren LaRosa]

She did. She was happy to play.

[Jess Hilarious]

Snoop did play a prostitute. She'll break it all down. All right, we got front page news. More gonna be joining us. And we got the record. Yes. All right, let's get into the record we've been talking about all week long. It's international. No, I was about to say International plays anthems. Imaginary Player, this is Cardi B. Let's get it on right now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's get in some front page news. What's up, Morgan?

[DJ Envy]

Hey, y'.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All.

[DJ Envy]

Hey.

[Morgan]

How we feeling on the Friday?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Good. Good, girl.

[DJ Envy]

All right.

[Morgan]

I love to hear it. Okay, so first on front page, some drama took place out west yesterday. Border agents showed up in Little Tokyo in downtown la while California Governor Gavin Newsom and other Democratic lawmake were talking about the redistricting efforts for their state. Now, Newsom was visibly upset, calling the actions pathetic. He says it wasn't a coincidence and took direct aim at the Trump administration, saying the action came from the top down. Let's hear more from California Governor Gavin Newsom.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They chose the time, manner, and place to send their district director outside right when we're about to have this press conference. Wake up, America. Wake up. You will not have a country if he rigs this election.

[Morgan]

So at least one person was detained during that raid. A guy selling strawberries. Okay. Louisiana Mayor Karen Bass said the man selling strawberries didn't pose a threat and the border agent should have never showed up. She called the moves a provocative act. Let's take a listen to LA Mayor Karen Bass in her comments.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There is no way this was a coincidence.

[Lauren LaRosa]

This was widely publicized that the governor.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And many of our other elected officials.

[DJ Envy]

Were having a press conference here.

[Lauren LaRosa]

He did this intentionally to disrespect the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Governor and to disrespect our state.

[Lauren LaRosa]

The court orders imposed a temporary restraining order. You want to talk about law and order? What you saw here was the custom and Border Patrol violating law and order.

[Morgan]

So Mayor Bass went on to say the Trump administration is the source of disorder in Los Angeles. And of course, like I said before, one person was detained, a man selling strawberries. Now Bass went on to say the man selling strawberries again did not pose a threat. Now the federal agent who was in charge of that particular immigration raid outside in LA is shrugging off the timing. Border Patrol Sector Chief Greg Bovino suggested he did not know Newsom and others were inside the Japanese American National Museum. Let's take a listen to his comments.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This is a location that we have conducted these roving patrol duties for the past two months.

[DJ Envy]

We've been here over two months and.

[Jess Hilarious]

As you can see today we did make an apprehension just a few feet.

[DJ Envy]

From where I'm standing.

[Morgan]

Yes, again, that's Border Patrol Sector Chief Greg Bovino. He reportedly arrested that strawberry delivery man. The chairman of the museum told the LA Times the timing of the raid was so precise that the agents jumped out of vans just feet from him as he entered the event. So we will continue to watch what's happening in California regarding ice raids and also congressional redistricting, which I will get into in the 7 o' clock hour. Just a quick weather update I do want to share. Tropical Storm Erin is on the verge of becoming a hurricane. The National Hurricane center says the storm is about 570 miles east of the Caribbean islands with maximum sustained winds of 70 mph. If the winds reach 74 mph, Aaron will officially become the Atlantic's season's first hurricane. Forecasters say Aaron is heading west towards the US but it's, it is expected to veer north and is posing no immediate threat to the to the East Coast. But we will continue to watch the storm. The storm is expected to grow into a formidable Category 3 hurricane over the weekend. So again, I'll continue to keep you guys posted on that. But you guys got to watch over the weekend for yourselves because, you know, we no more front page news on the weekends. But yeah, so that's your front page news for 6am Again at 7am we'll get into redistricting. We'll talk about the President's meeting with Putin today and more. So stick around for more front page news at 7.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right? And everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open again. 800-585-1051 is the breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It's a new day.

[Carlos Miller]

This is your time to get it off your chest. Wait, wake up. Whether you're mad or blessed, it's time.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

To get up and get something.

[Carlos Miller]

Call up now.

[Jess Hilarious]

800-585-1051.

[Carlos Miller]

We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club.

[Jess Hilarious]

Hello?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Who's this? It's jb.

[Jess Hilarious]

Jb, what's up? Get it off your chest.

[Snoop]

Just got a question, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, Chris Brown in New York City doing concerts and no interview.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, I don't think Chris did any interviews. I mean, he's touring, he's dancing for four hours. He's doing meet and greets, then he's doing after parties. He gotta sleep.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's the point of doing an interview if your show already sold out?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, like, he don't really gotta.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Although people do it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Like, people still do it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Not really in this day and age, like. Cause while I'm gonna sit down and get asked a whole bunch of questions, I probably don't wanna get asked. But my show's already sold out. Like, watch it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, but it's certain people that do it. You know what I mean? Like, for instance, Gary Owen, he came up here, all his shows sold out for the rest of the year.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Comparing Gary Owen to Chris Rock. Don't.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Don't do it, Lauren. Don't do it, Lauren. I'm just saying, like, people do that. They still depressed.

[Jess Hilarious]

You got these.

[Lauren LaRosa]

These other celebrities that go on tour. They still depress even when the stuff is sold out. It's just that Chris Brown don't really like doing interviews.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Not that level. Beyonce ain't gonna do it. Taylor Swift ain't gonna do it. See, Breezy, that's a MetLife is a stadium. Yo.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's what, 80?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's what I'm saying.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But how many Chris Browns do we have? Let's just be honest.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's my point.

[Jess Hilarious]

They not doing it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And also, he ain' person that's going to sit down and talk to people because of what people may ask him. And past things that people gonna bring up all that. He definitely ain't about to sit down.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I just know the Breakfast Club I love for him because y' all play all this song. So I just. I just want to know. Thanks. Y' all have a great day. Yeah, those days over radio is just playing the music just because they want to, you know? Ain't no. Ain't no give and take favors no more.

[Jess Hilarious]

He's been up here a couple times, though.

[Lauren LaRosa]

He has.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But that's the thing about interviews. And that's why Wendy Williams always said. Wendy Williams used to always say, do not rely on interview. People have to tune into the radio for you. Cause how many times you gonna interview Chris Brown? How many times you gonna interview Rihanna? We ain't never interviewed Rihanna. We ain't never interviewed. Well, we didn't interview Jay Z once. You ain't never interviewed Beyonce? Nope. And most of these shows never, ever will, period. So people gotta tune in for you.

[Jess Hilarious]

Hello? Who's this?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Good morning, my Breakfast Club family. It's your boy Lovey from the Bronx.

[Jess Hilarious]

Lovey from the Bronx. What up, Lovey?

All right, well, we got the latest with Lauren coming up. What we talking about?

[DJ Envy]

Yes, we are going to get into some things. So Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumper, you know, there's been this back and forth about who violated the divorce terms, who didn't. Their reports right now. But I got some clarity because it's not looking like the way it's being reported for Teyana Taylor. So we're going to talk about it.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Ng. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Get to the latest with Lauren.

[Lauren LaRosa]

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.

[Carlos Miller]

Latest with Lauren LaRosa.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, Sometimes she have a little bit everything.

[Carlos Miller]

Oh, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Talk to me.

[DJ Envy]

Alrighty, guys. So there are reports circulating right now about Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumper. So according to those reports, courts. And you know what? I've actually been read from court documents. Tiana Taylor has been ordered to pay Iman Shumpert $70,000. It's just covering legal fees. But here's the breakdown and to provide more clarity on what is happening. So there has been a lot of back and forth about Tiana Taylor and Iman Shumpert. There have been claims, you know, from Iman that Tiana Taylor has withheld the, you know, the children and, you know, the custody. There's been custody violations and things of that nature in court specifically for what this ruling was none of that stuff addressed. Well, it was addressed basically, the court said that that didn't happen. There's not enough proof to show that Tiana Taylor violated anything when it comes to the children or anything custody related. But what they did determine was that, and it was based off of, like, procedures. So when Tiana Taylor and Iman Shumper got their divorce agreement all that time ago, and we talked about what that agreement was within the agreement, it was agreed upon that neither party was supposed to talk about what the terms of that agreement was. But there were stories leaking around that time about, you know, Tiana got this, Tiana got that, Iman got this, Iman got that. So Tiana Taylor got on Instagram Live to defender, to defend herself, to be fair and to talk about what actually happened. Because things were spreading like crazy. That Instagram Live, and I have the audio if you guys want to hear it, that Instagram Live, a judge said, okay, because of this live, you were procedurally in A violation. So we're going to allow you to pay his attorney's fees. Now, all together, the judge looked at everything that Iman spent going back and forth about, you know, did he leak stuff to the press or did he not? And the judge did determine, just based off what was provided by Tiana's team, that there was not enough provided to say that Iman actually leaked information about the divorce to the blogs. But they basically said, okay, he's asking for all of this money for his attorney's fees. Looking at who makes what, like, make. We're looking at what Tiana Taylor makes. We're looking at what Iman makes because of how much she makes it, because she can afford to pay it. We are going to award a certain amount for her to be able to pay, which is that 70k. Originally, though, he had asked for a hundred and twenty one thousand dollars. But they broke it down and they looked at. They itemized each. Each number and said which ones actually apply to this, like, case, this actual. Not case, this actual claim. The claim of did you leak the information to the blogs or not? And that's how they came up with. But, you know, to be fair, I think it's being reported right now as if Tiana Taylor completely, you know, did all these things and was found and wrong of all these things. And the only thing that, to be honest with you, the judge found here was that she got on live and. And discussed how she felt. So not even how she felt, but she clarified her side of things back in March.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Somebody break this down to me in simple terms. I don't know what the hell.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So basically, Iman want her to be able to pay $70,000 because, well, she has to pay. Like she violated the terms.

[Jess Hilarious]

Correct.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You know, that she wasn't supposed to go online, but. But he's the one that made the. She wanted the whole thing to be a secret. But he went and submitted their names.

[Jess Hilarious]

Like, he.

[Lauren LaRosa]

He don't want to leak the names.

[Jess Hilarious]

Right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You said they couldn't find evidence of him doing that, though.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So they had. Sometimes they weren't supposed to be discussing any of this. And that was the agreement. And so that's why somebody got a page.

[DJ Envy]

The agreement was that nothing was supposed to be discussed. However, what. In the beginning of all of this, and this is not even in the conversation of the court, this is just in filing. So in the beginning of all of this, when TMZ first broke the story of Teyana Taylor and Iman Shepard's divorce, it was hard to Even know who it was because it was listed with initials. And normally when celebrities do that, when. When that's done, normally it's because you don't want people in the business. But there was something that was filed at one point where the names were used. And from what I remember and being there, it was listed with full names and it came from Iman's side. So that's how they were able to know what the divorce was. But. But that's not what she was talking about. Tiana Taylor specifically was talking about when all of that stuff was leaking about. Remember, there was a stories like, oh, Tiana Taylor took Iman for everything he has. And she got the car, she got the dish.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. So she got online. The businesses that they have is 50. 50.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And she leaving with what she came with and whatever she came with and.

[DJ Envy]

What she paid for herself because she works. That's what. Let's take a listen to her Instagram live back from March. You can hear what she said before y' all even knew that we was.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Ever getting a divorce. Not too much on my best friend. We're still doing this. We're doing.

[DJ Envy]

We're still doing that. This is my buddy. This is my.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I've done nothing but try to protect us. So the fact that you are okay.

[DJ Envy]

With the world thinking that I took.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You for everything that you had had.

[DJ Envy]

The world thinking that I tried to.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Get you locked, locked up, sitting here playing victim. Let me explain something to y' all.

[DJ Envy]

About people, for people that saying, oh.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, what would Iman get out of.

[DJ Envy]

Leaking these rooms that make him look bad?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Some people are okay with looking bad.

[DJ Envy]

Just as long as you look worse.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay, Y' all have to understand that. Y' all have to understand that before this divorce, during this divorce and after.

[DJ Envy]

This divorce, I protected that man with.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All I had in me. And it really does seem like. Like it really does seem. Every time something come out in the press about her, like, you know, with her movies or her album or something like that, something comes out like he put something out there where it would damage her reputation or something that she doing a week before her album dropped.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. That is. She was doing a rollout this week.

[Lauren LaRosa]

A week before her album dropped. Now this interview is about to drop. And then also, he was making skits about the divorce, too. I didn't even know he did skits. He was making skits.

[DJ Envy]

I didn't know he made skits. He posted them online.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So. But back to what I'm saying, it does seem like that. But. But when they had that reality show, he sat on the couch and even said. Right. Jokingly. But he said it. The thing that gets under her skin. He likes to antagonize her with online drama, and he know that gets under her skin.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, I know Teyana's losing her mind right now because she can't talk. Didn't she just had a vocal surgery, man.

[Lauren LaRosa]

What?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She's somewhere throwing up gang signs right now.

[Jess Hilarious]

She texted somebody crazy. She is texting somebody crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You might get a book on Twitter today. Them fingers, man.

[Jess Hilarious]

Them New York fingers is going in.

[DJ Envy]

No, but I'm glad she can't, because obviously you don't want her to be.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Able to speak to defend herself. Lauren. Of course.

[DJ Envy]

That's why the judge. That's why she got to pay the money. It's glad. I'm glad she can't, because obviously it puts her. It's unfair that she can't defend herself sometimes. But the only reason I'm saying that is because according to their agreement, when they figured out what their divorce was going to be, nobody's supposed to talk. That's the only reason why she kind of got caught here. Because other than that, the judge denied a lot of what came her way.

[Jess Hilarious]

What's really unfair, if you really think about it, the fact that. That we're able to see somebody's personal life and personal business and how much they have to spend. That shouldn't be public knowledge. The fact that they are a pro. They're a couple. Right. Even though they're a celebrity, they are a couple. That's their own marriage. We shouldn't be able to. To see how much this one has to pay, how much this one gets in a divorce, how much. How. Who gets the car, who gets to get, like, yeah, that's their personal lives, and it should stay personal. And it pisses me off when people are able to touch people's personal lives and see where people live and see all this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, I agree with you.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I hate that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I agree with you.

[Jess Hilarious]

I hate that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I agree with Jess. I do think it's very strange that every time Tiana got something going on, one of these negative stories coming, of course, that is why it's like, yo, you just. She's on a rollout. She got the album coming out, and then all of a sudden, boom, her.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Biggest movies ready come out. Album come out in seven days.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There's something there. There's a there there.

[Jess Hilarious]

They know it pushes buttons.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Come on. All you. All you Internet detectives and Twitter detectives Y' all need to put that one together right there. There's there.

[Jess Hilarious]

This is there.

[Snoop]

There.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. And, and wrapping up. I just want to say, too, they mentioned in the docs, to be honest with you, they're like, she does have a lot going on. She got movies coming. Three movies. She has a show coming out in the fall. And that's what they said. Like, okay, look, she got all this going on. She can pay what she should be responsible to pay. They deem she couldn't. Yeah. So it's because of all the things she got going on. To your point.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No.

[Jess Hilarious]

That is the latest with Lauren Teyana Taylor. Hopefully you're healing well, you know. Cause she had surgery last week on her vocal cord. So hopefully she's healing well. And I'm sure this is just irritating her even more. All right, now, when we come back, we got front page news. And then Snoop from the Wire will be joining us. You remember Snoop, right? She also is on BET's American Gangster Trap Queens. Her episode premiered July 10th. We're gonna talk about that as well. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

[Carlos Miller]

Your mornings will never be the same.

[Jess Hilarious]

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlamagne, the Gu. The Breakfast Club. Let's get back in some front page news. What's up, Morgan?

[Morgan]

All right, let's do it. So there are a lot of unknowns surrounding President Trump's summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska today. Now, Trump was asked by Fox News Radio about a joint press conference that is supposed to happen and was announced by the White House with Putin after the meeting. And they seemed unsure what will actually happen. Now, President Trump said there are two scenarios that could happen today. Let's take a listen to what those could be.

[Lauren LaRosa]

If it's a bad meeting, I'm not calling anybody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm going home. But if it's a good meeting, I'm going to call President Zelensky and the.

[Jess Hilarious]

European leaders who, as you know, have.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

A very good relationship with.

[Morgan]

So over the past few days, Trump and the White House have lowered expectations about an immediate cease fire in Ukraine following the summit. Trump says he'll know right away if Putin is serious about ending the war when the two leaders meet. Now, the president has also floated the idea of a second meeting with Ukraine, Zelensky and Putin if all goes well. Trump is meeting with Putin at a military base in Anchorage, Alaska, today at.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

3:30Pm I just don't understand how you're not having both sides at the table when you're having this meeting. Is Donald Trump Zelinsky's agent? Is he Zelensky's manager? Is he Ukraine's lawyer? Like, you cannot represent me if I'm not there.

[Jess Hilarious]

Makes no sense.

[Morgan]

Mediator, you know, but you got to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Have both sides to be a mediator. Yeah. If you're doing mediation, you got to have both sides at the table. There's no, I've never heard of no one sided mediation.

[Jess Hilarious]

And you can't speak for me. I'm not going to let Trump speak for me.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Me.

[Jess Hilarious]

It sounds crazy.

[Morgan]

I think he's trying to definitely move this along and, you know, be the, be the voice of reason.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You can't be the voice of reason when you're negotiating and mediating something with just one side.

[Morgan]

Let's take this message back to this person and take this message back over here to this country and see what we can do. I guess that's where they're at with it right now.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That's you can mess up somebody words like that.

[DJ Envy]

That's true.

[Morgan]

You ain't lying.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And they don't even speak English. I definitely don't know if he said that or not.

[Jess Hilarious]

Right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Damn, yo.

[DJ Envy]

All right, y'.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All.

[Morgan]

Bringing things home. Domestically, California Governor Gavin Newsom is officially calling for a special election in an effort to redraw state congressional district maps. Newsom says unlike what's happening in Texas, California is working through a temporary, transparent process of redistricting. The action is a countermove to Texas Republicans attempting to redraw congressional districts that could add as many as five Republican seats in Congress. Let's hear more from California Governor Gavin Newsom. Some on these efforts.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Today is liberation day in the state of California. And as Senator Schiff said, as Senator Schiff said, Donald Trump, you have poked the bear and we were punched back. We can't stand back and watch this democracy disappear district by district, all across this country. Not just in Texas, but in Missouri, where J.D. vance went just a week ago. In Indiana, in places like Ohio, in places like Florida, we need to stand up.

[Morgan]

Of course, the congressional redistricting efforts have been on hold in Texas since state Democrats left the state, blocking the legislature's ability to achieve a quorum and vote on the issue. Unless state republic, unless Texas Republicans drop their redistricting efforts, California will hold a special election on November 4th to put new maps before voters to increase Democratic representation in Congress, offsetting Texas's actions. Now, Newsom said he needs two thirds of the of the of the legislature. Vote is scheduled for next week. Now Meanwhile, Texas Republican I believe this is actually California Republican Congressman Kevin Kiley says no states should be gerrymandering, adding that manipulating congressional boundaries to favor one party is a plague on democracy. Let's take a listen to Representative Kylie.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Having mid decade redistricting this year cascade across the country in some sort of domino effect will be a huge distraction and a very unhealthy thing for Representative Governor I believe this is an opportunity for us all to take a deep breath to say enough is enough to say this is not a road that we want to continue to go down as a country.

[Morgan]

So that California Congressman Kevin Kiley, he's introducing a bill to prohibit mid decade redistricting in all 50 states. And yesterday in a virtual meeting, Obama told the Texas lawmakers that their actions were inspiring others. Obama said we can't let systemic assault, let an assault, let a systemic assault on a demo on democracy just happen. And because of your courage, what you've seen in is California responding and other states looking at what they can do to offset mid decade gerrymandering. Of course, Texas Representative Gene Wu said Obama's endorsement was proof that they have the support of the Democrats at all and every level.

It looked like I probably had a whole bottle and only had two shots.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I know you're here to talk about American gangster trap queens, but I have to ask you about the Wire because It's been celebrating 23 years of the Wire.

[Lauren LaRosa]

The Wire meant everything. Because that's where I came from. That's where I started from. You know, I didn't know that I knew how to act or. Yeah, I mean, just to be in this entertainment business, period. So, you know, the Wire just mean everything from.

[Jess Hilarious]

You know, but for those. Those that don't know, how did you get the role in the Wire? Break that down on how they chose you, your character and all that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Because I know a couple other studs that auditioned, but they gave it to. That wasn't the case. Michael Ken Williams, they didn't never have a part for me. So that's why you see Felicia Snoop Pearson on there, they kept my name and everything, even my nickname, the same, you know what I'm saying? So it's like, you know, I met Michael K. Williams. God bless the dead. I miss you. I love you, bro. I met him in Club one. Remember?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Club One?

[Lauren LaRosa]

And he kept looking at me like I was. I was, you know, I mean, like, I did something to him. So I never watched the Wire. While everybody was watching the Wire, I was outside. Yeah, Me hustling. Yeah. So I seen him. He kept looking at me. You know, looks could be deceiving, right? He got a scar on his face, looking crazy. So I was like, man, what the. What's going on? Yeah, I'm ready to go lay for yo outside. And my boy was like, nah, man, that's. That's Omar, the gay person from the Wire. Now I was like, oh, word? Yeah. So Mike came over there to me, and he was like, man, your boy or girl? And I was like, man, listen, I don't play like that. I love you. Know what I mean? Can I say I love you?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Know what I'm saying? You gotta say it. You can't say, yeah, yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But, yeah, I told him I don't play that. No, he's like, nah, nah, nah, nah. Like, I love your swag. I love everything about you. Yeah. I mean, give me your phone number. And I'm looking at him like, what phone number? Like, come on, man. But, you know, I gave it to him and the rest was history. I went, like, a block away where they were shooting at, like, because I was met living with my grandmother, you know what I'm saying, at the time. Because me and my. My female friend was beefing, you know what I'm saying? So he was a block away. I was on Oliver and Martha. Yeah, yeah. She kicked me straight out. I was with Oliver, Martha, he was on Martha and Landville. So that's a block away. I ran up there and the rest was history. They. Yeah, I mean, start. You know what I mean? They love how I talk, you know. See, my vocabulary wasn't like this at first. Everything was.

[DJ Envy]

Yet, I mean, you feel what I'm saying?

[Lauren LaRosa]

I ain't, man. I was like, oh, my God. I had to clean everything up. So, you know. Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Then you was. You was like, in the street. From what I've been. From what I heard back in the day, you sell heroin.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So you was really in the street. So it kind of. You kind of got typecasted a little bit?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes, yes, Most definitely. Most definitely. That's why I did the Spike Lee joint, because I didn't want to be typecast. Spike. I. Let me, like, yo, I mean, come on. Him and Mike and my God brother, like, come on, man. I played a prostitute. You damn.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How did the streets accept you at that point, though? Did they be like, all right, Snoop, go do your thing, man. You don't need to be out here with us no more. And when did you realize you ain't had to do that?

[Jess Hilarious]

When'd you quit?

[Lauren LaRosa]

I quit when I was on the wire. I mean, I quit when my trap phone kept ringing. And then Ed Burns, David Simon, and, you know, Nina was like, yo, like, come on, stop. You know what I mean? Like, we want you. You is amazing. See, people, you don't see yourself, what your worth is because it's you. Yeah, yeah. I mean, and then once they see, like, the outside person see you and they let you know, you probably think they hating or that, man, whatever. But, you know, them people said that I was a star, man. I believed them. And I just. I just stopped. I promise you, I just stopped. But you know what I mean, the last time when I got, you know what I mean, Incarcerated, I was around people trying to keep it real, real you know what I'm saying? I wasn't selling no drugs. I was just there, you know what I mean? So, you know. Well, are you working on something else with a burns too, aren't you? Yes. My life story, man. My life story. Yeah, it's a series. Yeah. I mean, we. And develop on and development right now, you know what I'm saying? Looking for the highest bidder still on the table. Yeah, I mean, but it's a series. It's about my life story, man. It's trials and tribulations that I went through, through. It ain't nothing like it ain't going to look like the Wire, but it is. Because I'm from Baltimore. You can't get that about me. I mean, I love my city, you know what I mean? So it's like. It's a series, man. Like your childhood. Yes, yes, yes, yes. When I was. When I was first born, you know, I mean, I died three times addicted to crack because my mother was, you know, I mean, getting high, you know, I'm adopted. Went to jail. I mean, well, prison at the age of 14 and a half, you know, for first degree murder. Nothing that, I mean, proud of or nothing, but it's my life. I can't change it. So I have to make changes when I get older, just right now, you know what I mean? So I can make the right decisions.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And you've lived through experiences that most people only see on shows like the Wire. How do you think your early life shaped the way you approach, like you're acting in your storytelling?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Tell us, for the gangster, it's like, man, it's in me, you know what I mean? It's like, you know, but the other actor, like, like my female part, like my versatility, you know, I'm still working, man. I know how.

[DJ Envy]

I know.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Walking hills now 6 inches. So Tammy IA taught me how to do that.

[Jess Hilarious]

Now break down the prostitution.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Ikea.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, ikea. God, that's my God sister Tammy Rivera. That's Tammy Rivera.

[DJ Envy]

I thought you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I thought it was some girl named Tammy you met in IA.

[Jess Hilarious]

So when they approached you to do the prostitute role.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. Look at you.

[Jess Hilarious]

Was you all the way in. That person was you. So break that down. We want you to play a prostitute.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yo, so Michael K. Williams, God bless the dead. I love you, bro. He hit me. It was like, spike wants you for a role. And I was hyped like, Spike. Oh, yes, sir. What's up? A legend, icon. So once I got around Spike, Spike let me know what it was. And I was looking at Spike like. Like, you sure? But Spike helped me, damn it. And another thing. Spike helped me. Spike took me to. What was that? El Do's. That's what it's called, Aldos. The shoe store. The shoe store. And they helped me try to walk in heels, man. Spike. Spike, man. Spike took it. Yes. Spike took his time with me. Pick my hair out, my dress, you know what I'm saying? No talk like this. And I was like, you know what I'm saying? Yes. Yo, like this. Spike. I love Spike, man.

[Jess Hilarious]

We're still kicking it with Snoop Charlamagne.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And you talked about your life after prison. What was the single hardest moment in that journey that, like, what kept you moving forward after changing your life after coming out of prison?

[Lauren LaRosa]

When I first came home before the Wire, I had what, three jobs I had working for Ford making bumpers. And then, well, I had two jobs making Ford bumpers. Then I went to the Book Factory. And then once them people was like, yo, we fine because you have a criminal background. I'm like, yo, what the. I'm gonna throw a book at somebody and kill them, you know what I'm saying? It's a book fact. We stocking books, you know what I'm saying? And right there I was like, man, forget that. So I took my last little check and I went and got me some yams. You wanna know what that is? Yeah, yeah, Grams.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That'S great. But you blessed though, man. Cause so many people end up in that situation and they don't get a second chance. Yeah, these little kids way.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, but at the same time, man, like, what? The last time when I just got incarcerated, like, a lot of people turned their back on me, man, that heard it because it was like. I mean, like, yeah, everybody know that I came from the streets, but they still thinking that I'm in the streets. Nah, I'm sitting here trying to keep it real. You know what I'm saying? I'm trying to keep it real. And people ain't trying to keep it real with me, you know? I mean, but they just here for the glass and the. And the glass glitter, you know what I mean? But when I got in trouble the last time I was little with Mike, Mike moved. And then like I was in the Bronx, 176 in McCombs. And my man mother living room on a blow up bed for a year and a half. You know what I'm saying? And it's how. How bad you want it? I wanted it bad. I ain't want to Sell drugs. Because I wasn't selling. Selling drugs. That hurting me, man. You know what I'm saying? And people was trying to sit there, oh, oh, you did this. You man did a mother thing. But there, the wire. On the wire. That's their. Their headlines. So you. They could make you. Yeah. I mean, grab you into the headlines. You understand what I'm saying? It was like, I was like, oh, oh, that's how y' all play. I mean, that's why I stopped doing interviews. Because every time it's like, yo, I say something, people will go ahead and misconstrue what I gotta say. You understand what I'm saying? Or make headlines. What they want to going for that, man. Like, real talk. Like, one time I took a reporter out. I ain't gonna say no days. Like, I thought she was cool. I'm paying a tab and all that, you know what I'm saying? We sit there at mo, eating, chilling, eating crab legs. All types need a hookup. And this lady sit here and just talk real greasy about me. I was like, dang.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, after that, yes.

[Lauren LaRosa]

In the pit. Like, yes.

[DJ Envy]

Was y' all out in the air interview or.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, no, we was chilling, having a conversation. Like, I mean, like, us. And she's a reporter, and she went and just wrote that. I was like, man, oh, Went to my victim family house, all types of stuff.

[DJ Envy]

Like.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And you could have just told me that. Like, you could have warned me, you know, but we was kiki and a kaka. Oh, girl, get another drink. You are. You know what I'm saying? That type, we was cool. You would have thought we was best friends. And that's when I knew right there, I was like, man, these people don't love. Nobody is doing their jobs. You know what I mean? So, you know, it's no hard feelings, but I had to learn. You living, you learn. And once I was coming from the street, so I didn't know how the industry played. Now I know. How is that now, though?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like what?

[Lauren LaRosa]

I don't take nothing to her. You know what I'm saying? You say something crazy about me, I around, smoke a blunt and laugh at you, you know what I'm saying? But you know nothing. I don't take nothing to the heart no more.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's the biggest misconception about Snoop?

[Lauren LaRosa]

You think that Snoop was in the streets? When I left the streets, I was on the wire, you know, and that was. That was true. Spill. It was just, you know, like, my fan can't turn my back on my family. You know what I mean? Like, come on, man, that's where I come from. These four corners on Oliver and Mar. That's where I come from, you know? So it's like, like, how can y'. All. I mean, let me. Give me a chance to grow, give me a chance to figure it out. It was just coming so fast. I was like, oh, so do you feel like you're rolling the wire hurt or helped? No, I think it helped and I think I did. I mean, I take full responsibility for everything that I probably even got in trouble for because I like people. When I first got on, people was like, yo, go ahead and move to la.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hey.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm like, man, I ain't Hollywood, I'm Hollyhood. And I'm out here trying to save my, I mean, save my neighborhood, save my city. And I, I, I could, I mean, help from a, from, from afar.

[DJ Envy]

What's that balance like now for you knowing that, like, okay, you helping, but from afar. You got things you need to protect, but you still be connected to your people.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. Like right now, I always do. Me and Ms. Alvina. Shout out to Ms. Alvina. I love you, baby. Ms. Alvina, she always helped me with shoe hoops, not guns. That I do in the city of Baltimore for my city back school drive. I come out my pocket. Ms. Alvina keeps saying I need sponsors, but, you know, I come out my pocket because people don't know I'm, I'm in the hood. I always see what we need.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You know what I'm saying? So it's like, yeah, man, I just come out my pocket and do it myself. So. And what else? You said that.

[DJ Envy]

No, I'm just wondering that you were talking about trying to figure out the balance and growing.

[Lauren LaRosa]

My balance is now that I, I help from afar, you know, I mean, I go home. You know, I mean, I always go home.

[DJ Envy]

I.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All my, I'm always home. But I mean, I just. From afar, man, I just, I gotta, I gotta help from afar, cuz I know too many people in the city, man. I can shake somebody hand. I'm caught up in a dice payment. Just be stupid.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's just crazy though, because your town, where you from, is what gives you your balance. Yeah, it's when you move out to them places like LA is when you lose yourself.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

When you got your boots on the ground, still in your city, that's when you.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But at the same time, when you know your city and you from there and you in the streets, I ain't Talk about the county or the suburbs. When you end the city, you know what it is. So you ain't got to stay right there to have help, you know, I.

[Jess Hilarious]

Wanted to ask, you know, I know you and Michael K was so close to help you out. So how did his. His death affect you?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Man, it hurt me so bad. I mean, it. It. I got the phone call from Jamie Hector. At first I didn't know what he was talking about. I'm something kind of like a psychic, because I felt something, but I thought it was about me, you know? And, man, we all have our. Our demons, our vices, you know what I mean? Some is loud, some is quiet, you know, And Mike's was in between because he was getting himself together. He had stopped getting high and, you know, I don't know. I had just talked to him a week before, you know, and it hurted me, man. Man, it hurt him. It hurt him, like, because we had so many plans and, you know, that's how I got my start. If he would have never said nothing to me, yo, but he never see. Heard no Snoop.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I mean, I probably would have been dead or in jail.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Did you ever ask him, did you ever say to you, him, what, what. What did God say to you in the club that night when you were staring at me like, what did you see in me? Did you ever ask him that?

[Lauren LaRosa]

He just said he seen a angel. He always called me his angel. He always called me his big brother. His big brother. And you know, that.

[DJ Envy]

That.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That's gonna be a whole another segment, man. Cause I around getting here, crying, all type snooker punk. I don't care. It's my. And that's another thing too, people, us black people, you gotta show your emotions. You know what I mean? And if you cry and let out some of that frustration, I promise you. Or just go ahead and pray to God and cry. You ain't gotta tell your friends, family, nothing. Just let out some of that emotion. I promise you, some of that killing and some of that hurt in this world is gonna stop.

[DJ Envy]

What's your religious background like? You seem like you talk a lot about, like, faith in.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes, because that's all I know is God. I mean, that's it. That's it. That's all, man. Like I said, I died three times. I mean, been shot at like 80 times. Like, yeah, me, like, yeah. I mean, it's just. That's all I do. That's all I know is God. I believe in God. I believe in angels. I believe in. I believe. Hell, Hell on earth. I believe that we. This is hell once everybody close their eyes. Because everybody got a death with. I mean. I mean, the death date. So, I mean, once you close your eyes, that's heaven on earth. I heard the guy that they OD'd in over there on Pennsylvania Avenue in Baltimore, front of drugs. The man said that he was mad that they bought him back. Yeah, because he was so peaceful. You know what I'm saying? So, you know, I think it is. Damn. I think it is hell on earth.

[Jess Hilarious]

We're still kicking it with Snoop, Jess.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So you're here for the new season of American Gangster, the Trap Queens. Yeah, American Gangster, Trap Queens. And that's narrated by the Brat. Yeah, the Brat. Do you. Do you see her on it or does she. No, I ain't see the brat on there. She. She just did it when. When they called her, you know, so we. We all had our own separate sessions.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You like working on it? Yeah, it was one episode. I just. The reason why I did it. And I mean, let me clear this up on the Breakfast Club. You know, I love all you trad queens. I love y', all, dear, you know, But Bet, when they reached out to me to do track Queens, I said, nah, you know what I mean? Because y' all don't have the money that I want. You know what I'm saying? And BET said, hold up, Snoop, we got you. What you looking for? So I was the highest ever, ever paying Trap Queen, you know what I'm saying? It's a boss sitting right here. And I did that episode so I could let the kids know what I've been through, my trials and tribulations, you know? I mean, because I ain't been around. I mean, I've been around, I'm around, but I'm not around, you know what I'm saying? But I just let the kids know that. Yeah, man, you see what I've been through, man, Somebody would have chopped that heat on, off, you know? I mean, with my life, they would have been killed theirself. But you. I mean, like, I did that. So I just let y' all know, like, it's still. It's still hope. It's still faith. It's still. I mean, it's still life out here, you know? I mean, it's still everything, man. Just keep going, like. And just to let them know, I'm saying it over and over again, just to let them know that trials are trip. Relations that you go through. Don't make. Make you or break you.

[DJ Envy]

Is that Hard for you, like, going and like, just recounting, like, different things you've been through in your story and some different things that you already got.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, some things and some things in the script. Y' all gonna be like, yo, yes, yes, I have a C. I have a series. Well, I had. Yeah, I have a series. So, you know, I mean, my life is too much to put in and cram up in one movie. You know what I mean? So. So, you know, you want to act a joke shadow man, I'm giving out jobs, so get at me short and then. All right, so is that what made you want to do your life story yourself? Yeah, on the track queens.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, I had told them, like, yeah, I mean, like, yo, if I do the track queens, this is how. This is how I want it. You know what I'm saying? And just to let people know. You mean where I've been at, what I've been up to, and here you go, you know, like, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I just want you to know. Jess don't like that you asked me before. You asked her what?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes, I love told you, stop playing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Was it tougher to navigate the streets of Hollywood?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Hollywood, I had to learn it because I ain't know nothing about it, you know what I'm saying? The streets, I know everything about it, you know what I'm saying? But Hollywood, nah. And people like, and like, for our veterans out there, like, you see a, A, A, A person coming into this industry, please give them like some, some type of advice, you know? I mean, please let them know, like the do's and don'ts. Because I just came in here first and went know my fight. He was doing what he doing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's why you have Mike, though, man.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Mike was getting high, man. It's like, no, my brother was getting high, man. That's why I said, when I get my series, you will see it, man. My brother Mike, I love him to death, but you would have never know it. My brother was high as fat chose ass on the wire, but you never knew it, period. The best night going be To.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She over here telling herself joke. She said, Charlamagne, Ariel lovers like what, Snoop?

[Jess Hilarious]

American Gangster.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The trap queen.

[Jess Hilarious]

Now, if you don't know what trap queens is, they break down. Each episode is. Is a woman who was out there hustling and getting to it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And this episode.

[Jess Hilarious]

Episode is about Snoop.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. First one. Episode one, Season four. Hey, first episode. Yes, sir.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

When you look. My last question. When you look back at your life thus far, Snoop, is there anything you would change? Like, do you have any regrets?

[Lauren LaRosa]

In 95, when I went to prison for the murder charge, you know, because that broke her family heart. Broke my family heart, you know, especially my grandmother. That's why I turned myself in. Cause of mama, you know, mama's like, man, they gonna kill you, girl. They gonna kill you. You 14. Yeah. So, you know, I think, yeah, that. Yeah, most definitely.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Is there anything you've done to try to reconcile that situation with the fans?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes, I try to reach out. Well, I seen her mother when I was in prison, you know, she was talking smack and stuff like that. And when I got up on it, because, you know, people always talk smack when you ain't around. And then once I got up on her, you know, I. I told her, I said, man, wow. When I got up on her, I told her, I said, man, I know you mad at me, and I know you hurt. I know you won't never forgive me, but just pray, you know? And I'm asking God to forgive me, you know, so it ain't nothing me or you could do to bring her back, you know? I'm so sorry.

[DJ Envy]

Did she accept the apology?

[Lauren LaRosa]

She gave me a hug. But she told me flat out, I ain't gonna never forgive you. I ain't. Can't do nothing but accept that. Yeah, you know, like, you know, like I did something to hurt you. No, I take my responsibility. And that's a lot of things. I mean, a lot of times, a lot of people don't take their responsibility, you know what I mean? I take mine. No, didn't you say that you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Didn'T.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You said that you regret, you know, going to jail. But I think that that probably definitely is the reason why you still here, you know, that could have saved your life. Because like you said, mama told you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yo, they gonna kill you.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You 14, you could have got killed out there if you just kept running or whatever. Cause all that, you can't catch up. Yeah. You know, with you. So I think the best thing was you turning yourself in. You know what I mean?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But you regret taking the life.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, I regret taking the life, yeah. Yeah, most definitely.

[Jess Hilarious]

Well, Snoop, we appreciate you for joining us. I swear you've been up here before, but.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[DJ Envy]

One case filed by a woman named Sarah. Sarah Rivers, who was formerly on making the band, had filed a lawsuit back in February. And in the lawsuit, she claimed that Diddy, you know, during the scene. Scene. Well, she cited the scene where Diddy made people from making the band to walk for the cheesecake and her and the rest of the band had to walk. So, you know, I know the story. Had to walk through. Get the cheesecake from juniors or whatever. So she said. And she sued for that. She basically, the workplace environment was. She sued from over the workplace environment, forced labor. She said she accused Diddy of sexual harassment, false imprisonment, racketeering and assault. So these claims were just dismissed? According to a judge, they were dismissed. Now there is still one up in air that. That they will be determining, but they were dismissed with prejudice, meaning that they can't be filed again. And I mean, that's a huge win on the civil side because I think when all the civil stuff and the criminal stuff was happening together, a lot of what was, people were compounding the two. But I think now, because on the criminal side, a lot of things have been. Didn't go forward in court on the civil side, a lot of things are starting to fall apart as well, too.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So I think a lot of. I think a lot of the civil stuff helped Diddy in criminal court because some of the civil stuff sounded so crazy and so insane. Saying if you're a jury that's just out and about in the street, you like, I don't know. I don't know about that one.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. And I mean, and the claims on the civil side were just as, you know, they sound like a movie the same way it did on the criminal side. Like, for instance, Sarah talked about during her time under making, making the band, she was forced to sleep in like an open bay or like an open room with four other males, despite being married at the time. She also claimed and alleged that she was threatened that if she didn't comply with whatever terms they gave her, like where she had to sleep and the different things that she alleged were happening to her, that same thing. A lot of the women on the criminal side were saying that their careers or like, you know, their livelihoods would be threatened. She also alleged that Diddy acted maliciously and recklessly with her career, publicly dismantling the group and pocketing most of the money from the show. And she said that when it comes to the sexual harassment, she said that he sexually harassed and assaulted her. Her claiming that he once. Diddy once backed her into a corner and blocked her from moving while he put. He rubbed his hands over her breasts. So a judge has decided not to move forward with this lawsuit at all. And this is the same. So the lawyer in this lawsuit is a woman named Ariel Mitchell. I saw reports that Diddy is doing this 100 million dollar defamation lawsuit. That's the same defamation lawsuit he filed a while back. He just upped the amount of money. And it's the same attorney. He's suing Ariel Mitchell and a man named Courtney because they went on News Nation and made claims about. About having videos from a freak off that they haven't provided yet. So he's trying to spin the block now. Diddy's trying to spend a block now and write whatever he thinks has been wrong done to him.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay.

[DJ Envy]

In other news, speaking of, I did want to mention this because even though this story broke last week, we reported on Javante Tank Davis and the. The domestic violence claims between him and one of his former girlfriends and mother of his children. That case was actually dropped. They decided not to move forward with the case because the victim in the case or the alleged victim in the cl. The case was declined, is declining to prosecute her claims. And this was released from the state attorney handling the prosecution. So that's not going to go forward as well. I just felt like I wanted to make sure I updated everybody there as well too.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Thank you.

[DJ Envy]

You're welcome. And lastly now, Charlamagne. I know we were talking yesterday about that Hollywood reporters top podcasting list for the most powerful players and podcasting in 2025. And you made the list. Congratulations on that.

[Jess Hilarious]

Nice.

[DJ Envy]

Now, the reason why I brought that up is because when I brought up Taylor Swift the other day in the room and I told y' all she was gonna be doing the New Heights show with her boo, Travis Kelsey, y' all was like, he doesn't even like Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift in that podcast. Right now they are at 10 million views in 16 or less hours and is now the top episode of the podcast. She beat out an episode with Patrick Mahomes. She beat out an episode. So, yeah, huge, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But none of that is surprising. But what that got to do with you not even being able to name three Taylor Swift songs even though you like Taylor Swift so damn much?

[DJ Envy]

My, this is, this is the thing with me I like to see how people maneuver in business. I'm the same way with Beyonce. Like, I'm not Die hard Beyonce fan, but the way that Beyonce moves in business, I'll be like, yo, that's fire. Taylor Swift is so good at what she does. She knew sitting next to her boyfriend, talking about stuff that the people want to know, because she doesn't really give you too much. She give you just enough. Enough was going to do exactly what it did. And she talked about everything. They went from her master recordings to, you know, her dad recently went through some medical stuff. Like, she got very candid, and they.

[Morgan]

Were just being cute, yo.

[Jess Hilarious]

You know, it was.

[DJ Envy]

It was so smart.

[Jess Hilarious]

Crazy Lauren goes Charlemagne. Congratulations for being on the list. Now, the reason I even mentioned that is because, Taylor, because of the white.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

People, mind you, it's only. It's only three black people. On that whole list is 44 people. I think it's me, Joe Button, and the Obamas, Michelle and her. Her brother.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So that's four. Don't try to minimize us.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, it's one show. Michelle and her brother is one show. Michelle and her brother's one show. Then it's Joe Button, and then they had me as an executive in the Black Effect. So you bought that up just to. Just to big up the white people.

[Jess Hilarious]

They even do a full congratulations. Congrats.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And this is why Donald Trump called me a racist sleeve bag. But I'm just pointing out the obvious, you know, amplification. Okay. Of Caucasians at the expense of black. Black people.

[DJ Envy]

You love a little mayonnaise, too. I know you don't watch the podcast.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Even more crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What.

[Lauren LaRosa]

What is Michelle's brother's name? His name is not gonna be Michelle.

[DJ Envy]

Craig.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now, I'm gonna be honest with you.

[Lauren LaRosa]

He.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He is. He is Michelle's brother. Okay? We got to do him like Ray J for a while, remember? For a while, Ray J was always Brandy's brother. We got to give Craig at least two years before we start calling him Craig. That's Michelle Obama's brother. Okay.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We call a mob for sh. Short, and that's young mob. What up, mom? Y.

[DJ Envy]

You talking about me belittling black people? That's a whole grown man you talking about. That's just Michelle brother, first of all.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hush.

[DJ Envy]

Well, wait, Envy.

[Jess Hilarious]

Hold on.

[DJ Envy]

Yes, yes, I wanted to say, too. I saw you did pix11. You talking about being smart maneuvering the la. You did pix11. And the lady said when envy walked on. Oh, you're actually handsome in Person.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, I took that foul, too. I was like, damn, what. What the hell does my picture look like? Yeah, but salute to picks 11. I was up there yesterday promoting the car show. But you know what I. I also got to say is yesterday we were having a conversation about Shakari Richardson, and we were talking about how fast she was, and Charlemagne was like, ah, you know, she's fast for a woman, but there's men that's faster than her. And I was like, no, there isn't.

[Lauren LaRosa]

She's fast. She's fast.

[Jess Hilarious]

Fast. When I say.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now, what you said was she would beat Chris Coleman in a race. And I said, y' all out y' all damn mind. That's our boy with Dustin her. Okay.

[Jess Hilarious]

But not only that. When I say, the amount of people that call me that were upset, like, what, you don't watch track and field? You don't know what you talk about? I was like, I don't like.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Right.

[Jess Hilarious]

It's not my thing. But people were mad. And then they sent me so many different people. Somebody sent me this 8th grader that runs faster than.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Damn.

[DJ Envy]

8Th grader is crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, it's not crazy, but it's biology. Go ahead, Lauren. Keep sounding silly. Go ahead. Keep sounding silly. But no, that eighth grade boy with dust. Shakari Richardson. Tell him the time.

[DJ Envy]

Y' all playing with her.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, we not. That 8th grade boy with duster, he's faster. He's a man.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

A young man.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes. It was. It wasn't that. It was. We're taking anything from her. They were saying that when men and women race, it's different. And they were saying, this eighth grader, she'll be in a race faster than Shakari Richardson. Her time. His time was like 9.6. And her time was a lot faster. He was. And they were just slower. They were just comparing what it was. It was not nothing to take. It was just speed. That was it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So, Lauren, they saying that women are slower.

[DJ Envy]

Yes, Slower. We can't park. We can't drive.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You're making.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You're making this. You're making this. You're making this about something that it don't need to be made about. It's silly. It's a silly conversation. And by the way, salute to. I'm not even gonna shout them out. I do want to, but I don't want to put them on blast. But there was women that I know who run tr. Track, the Olympic track runners who are like, yo, we were bugging yesterday. Yeah, not me. Y' all was bugging.

[Jess Hilarious]

I know, they said I was bugging. No, I mean, give me mad times.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, mad times.

[Jess Hilarious]

But, yeah, I was. I. I didn't know. Track.

[Lauren LaRosa]

We got some other women on outside that's faster than y'.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All, than us. We're not track stars. Shakari could definitely. Probably outrun me.

[DJ Envy]

Who are they?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Definitely.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, we got them V over here.

[Jess Hilarious]

You know what?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, you said that yesterday, too. You said Caitlyn would raise Bruce.

[Lauren LaRosa]

What? Yep. And Caitlyn a dust Bruce.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, it would be a tie.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You can't do that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You can't do that.

[Jess Hilarious]

I hate this place.

[DJ Envy]

Trying to get women equality.

[Jess Hilarious]

Now, who you giving your donkey to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Man, for after that, that little. Just go in. That was when you were supposed to say, that has nothing to do with women. Little Yachty. Little Yachty needs to come to the front of the congregation. We like to have a word with him, please.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right, we'll get to that. Next is the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

[Carlos Miller]

Your mornings will never be the same.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We wanted to know how. How you came up with the donkey of the day.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Because you're mean.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I am not.

[Lauren LaRosa]

What did I do?

[Carlos Miller]

I made Donkey of the Day.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There's a bunch of donkeys out here in the street.

[DJ Envy]

That is why Charlemagne is here.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If we live a life where we bite our tongue based off who we may offend, we never will say it.

[Carlos Miller]

To on the Breakfast Club. In the words of Charlamagne, the God, he's a donkey.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was. Oh, man, Charlemagne. You giving donkey the day to who now? Well, Busta Rhymes, Donkey of the day for Friday, August 15, goes the little Yachty. Now, you know, on Fridays, I like to open up the phone line so the people can give folks the credit they deserve for being stupid. Unless something is on my spirit. And today, something is on my spirit, okay? I was minding other people's business on social media last night, and I saw that Lil Yachty was receiving some backlash after appearing sharing on a live stream with Blackboy Max. Now, I don't pay attention to backlash, okay? Outrage on the Internet because y' all always fake mad about something online, all right? The fuel that keeps the Internet going is anger. That's why you have individuals who make a living rage baiting, okay? Rage baiting, you digital D heads. Because they know the fastest way to garner engagement is to say something to make you mad. So I listened to what everyone was upset about, and it was the first time in a while where I was like, oh, this is valid outrage, okay? I completely understand why folks is Upset. See, little Yachty previewed a new song, and in that song he had a lyric about the late George Floyd. Let's listen to the bar one more time, please.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Wait for it.

[Carlos Miller]

Wait for it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Floyd.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Put my knee up on her neck I went, George Floyd. I retweeting this. She gonna wait for me Put my knee up on her neck I went, George Floyd. Yachty, how you put a hole in your own boat, okay? Are you trying to sink the boat and drown? Like, damn. No Black solidarity. Is anything sacred? When we talk like that about situations like George Floyd, we make others comfortable to do it and then we get mad when others disrespect us. I'm all for freedom of speech, okay? I don't have to agree with what you said, but I agree with your right to say it. But you know what else is free? Shutting the F up, okay? See, I talk for a living. I've always gotten it right. Absolutely not. But it's just some things you should know not to say, okay? You should know not to play with somebody's loved one who the world watched die. Okay? Yachty, you are 27 years old and you are not a stupid young man. In fact, you are very bright. Okay? I've watched you in interviews. I've watched you conduct interviews. I've always thought that you. You had a empathy about you because of how you have been attacked in this culture called hip hop, okay? People used to label you as the poster child for whack rappers, all right? Some still do. Was that fair? Probably not, but that's what it was. Okay? I've seen you have empathy for Drake when Kendrick was busting his ass last year. So I ask a simple question. Would you write a bar about Kendrick, Molly, Wap, and Drake in their lyrical battle? Of course you wouldn't, because that's your man, man. You wouldn't want to hurt his feelings or his team's feelings. I got a better one for you. Would you write a bar about the tragic, senseless murder of the late. Great takeoff. Of course you wouldn't because you would have empathy for him and how he went out, okay? You would have empathy for his team and family. So why wouldn't you give George Floyd that same respect? Why disrespect that brother's family and friends like that? You said, put my knee up on her neck. I went, George Floyd. So you decided to change channel. That racist ass cracker. Ass cracker Derek the devil Chauvin who killed George Floyd, okay? You watched that video that the world saw the World saw Derek the Devil Chauvin kneeling on George Floyd's neck for 9 minutes and 29 seconds. Watch that man take his last breath calling for his mother. And you, at the big age of 27, decided, you know what? I'm gonna put that in a bar. Even if your brain thinks it immediately. Something gotta say, nah, that ain't it. Okay. And no engineer, nobody in the studio said, no. What are you doing? Okay, this is why you can't have a bunch of yes men around you. You got to have somebody around to simply tell you no. In hell no. And f no. And I know folks is out there. But Charlamagne, you believe in freedom of speech? I do. But you are not free from the consequences of said speech. You can say what you want about anybody and anything, but you have to deal with what comes with that. Because there's a cost to everything that comes out of your mouth. And before you speak, you should ask yourself, am I willing to pay this price? Now, Stephen Jackson from the all the Smoke podcast, dropping the clues bombs for the all the Smoke podcast. You already know he's stepping about George Floyd every time, as he should. Every time. Okay? He replied to Lil Yachty yesterday and he had this to say, let's listen. And I'm just trying not to pay attention to you idiots, man. But like, it's just hard, bro. Like, Lil Yachty, bro, you are. You've been whacked.

[Snoop]

But you think you saying George Floyd.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Name name and trying to use his name in the bar, that's gonna make people like your whack ass music. Y' all the only arrow that feel like demeaning the dead and saying that. Cool, man. It ain't. It ain't. And it's me in the whole third ward and the whole Houston, Texas riding behind G. Man, don't ever say his name, bro. Y', all.

[Snoop]

None of y' all knew G nothing.

[Carlos Miller]

About him, but y' all want to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Say his name for clout, Put a knee up on. I do. That's some weak but let somebody die in your family. We gonna do a whole skit about about it and see how funny it is, bro.

[Snoop]

Cut that, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's only you Wax Sambo, that do that. The only error that feel like demeaning the dead is. Okay, that is a very valid point, Lil Yachty. Whether you realize it or not, everybody who knew George Floyd and loved George Floyd feels exactly like Stephen Jackson does this morning. That line was corny, okay? It was very coonish. All right? George Floyd got murdered Knee to the neck from Derek Chauvin and you turned his death into a corny ass rap bar. Okay, the bar don't even make no sense. You put your knee up on her neck. You and George Floyd. What you saying you want to kill her? If you don't think you upset George Floyd's family, well, Lauren LaRosa got a statement from George Floyd's brother. Lauren, would you like to share what George Floyd's brother told you?

[DJ Envy]

Yes. Terence Floyd said to me he wants the lyric changed. He says, let his brother rest in peace. It has disturbed his family. People were sending him the clip all yesterday, so he had to listen to it and disturbed him a lot. He says it's super inconsiderate. It Terence Floyd also said to us that this generation doesn't pay attention to what they say. They just want to make a song and get it on the charts. And they feel like because of who they are, people will listen and accept it. And that's not right. It's super inconsiderate. You should think about what you're writing and make it make sense because it impacts other people. He also has a message for Lil Yachty. He says, you know, if you're going to talk about George Floyd, there let there be a better message behind George Floyd's name so that his legacy can live beyond the tragedy that Chauvin crosses caused.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The best way to not have your peace disturbed is to not disturb the peace of others. Little Yachty. And to everyone who can hear my voice, please remember the simple golden rule we learned in grade school. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Okay, Yachty, you want respect, you got to give it. And the root of respect is not the full understanding of other people. It is the recognition of people's non negotiable humanity. Please give Lil Yachty the biggest he haw.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right. Well, thank you for that. Donkey was whack.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Very.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It's just. It's stupid.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's just a whack line that doesn't make any sense.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It's dumb, yo.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But you know, today switching gears is the four. It would be the 40th born day.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Of the late, great Nipsey Hussle. That's right. Right.

[Jess Hilarious]

And it's only right Nipsey Hussle's been up here a couple of times and it's only right to get back his interview.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I feel like we should celebrate Nipsey every opportunity we get. And today is his born day. Today he would have been 40 years old today.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay.

[Jess Hilarious]

And we're gonna get that interview back on when we come back, so don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, again, today would have been Nipsey Hussle's 40th birthday. And what we wanted to do in celebration of his life is we wanted to get on the interview when he was up here. Let's get into that. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's up, my brother?

[Snoop]

What's the deal, bro?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now, I don't know nothing about LA politics, but are you allowed to wear that much red?

[Snoop]

I could do what I want, man. This my brand, you know what I'm saying?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Absolutely. Yeah.

[Snoop]

I like how red look with gold, you know what I mean?

[Jess Hilarious]

Do people trip like that with the colors you wear?

[DJ Envy]

Or.

[Snoop]

Or it depends. Like, again, I'm. Everybody know who I am as far as where I belong. So, you know, I'll be seeing like Internet comments sometime when I be flamed up. But in la, you know, I mean, we grew up. If you was a real wear what you want, that don't really apply, you know what I'm saying? Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Is it still heavy like that, though?

[Snoop]

I mean, it's. It's like if I miss somebody else hood with a gang of red on and I'm. I'm not a known face place and I'm in a crib hood. Yeah, it'll probably. I probably get addressed.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Got you.

[Snoop]

But I don't think I had that problem. They were like, that's nip. You know what I'm saying?

[DJ Envy]

Congratulations on the album.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Finally, man. Finally.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Snoop]

Victory lap in stores. Go grab that stream. That all that I'd had to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It took too long. Right?

[Jess Hilarious]

You had a lot to prove on that.

[Snoop]

Yeah, I did.

[Jess Hilarious]

Let's talk about it now.

[Snoop]

The album is dope, first and foremost.

[Jess Hilarious]

I love the album.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Thank you.

[Jess Hilarious]

I hear a lot that you don't like weirdo rappers.

[Snoop]

Facts.

[Jess Hilarious]

Now, what's a weirdo rapper to you?

[Snoop]

Well, I think you jumped out the line when I was like, this ain't this weirdo rap you is used to?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Snoop]

I just feel like, you know, I felt pressure a little bit from where the game is at. And it ain't no diss to nobody specific. Just like it ain't in the direction of what we grew up on in terms of like, you gotta say something, you know what I mean? You Gotta be a man of respect. Respect or a woman of respect, you know what I mean? Even from, like, just the drug stuff, like, you know, that was never glorified in rap culture. We could almost, like, live by Scarface or Jay Z or Tupac lyrics. If we ain't had no principles, like a man around, we could live by their lyrics and come out as a solid individual. That's what I meant just as far as, like, you know, just returning to that direction. I don't know, like, telling people what to do, but just, you know, try to represent the principles that I grew up on in rap music.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's one thing I like about your music. It always has socially redeeming value to it. And on dedication, you know, Kendrick said that his man l said do a song with Nip. He a better Crip. But Kendrick said he a man first. You know, do you hear what he speaks about? From black businesses to false imprisonments. And he said, listen, close is bigger than Deuces and four. So is that a challenge for you to get people to see you for more than a stereotypical west coast gangster rapper?

[Snoop]

I mean, people. People receive me based on what I said. So I wouldn't blame people for that. I came in and said, this where I'm from, and this is where I represent. But it was for a reason. I wanted to establish, you know, what I belong to. And I looked at it like jail. That's what I used to tell my homies. Because even some of my homeboys would be like, why you can't come out talking about the hood specifically, you know what I mean? When you walk into a dorm, the first thing you establish is where you fall from. And then from there, you get into the person behind this, just in case, whoever got a problem with this, wherever your enemies is, you go to the back, you handle your business. And then you get into, like, okay, I could actually with you, you. You know, I mean, we get to know each other, but you get that out the way first. And so also, I wanted to. I wanted my message to impact gang culture. You know what I'm saying? I wanted what I had to say to impact individuals like myself, young people. I was in these areas that was controlled by gang banging. I didn't want to preach to the choir, but I wanted to be able to say, you know, I'm one of you. And where I'm gonna go, wherever I end up, you're gonna know that you can end up there, too. Whether it's at the top of the game or in a Successful situation as a business owner. I came from this, and it's authentic. And I'm not on the outside of this culture. That's why I came in. Like, I came in. I wasn't trying to, like, be on those super tough guys, you know what I'm saying? I just wanted to be clear that, you know, wherever I take it, I'm not. I'm not different. I'm exactly the same. I've been through everything you've been through or you gonna go through as a somebody in that culture.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What is a better Crip? What does that mean?

[Snoop]

I don't know, because I ain't say it. But what I would assume Kendrick meant was that somebody that is not 100% biased or outside of communicating with a blood or somebody from the other side of the tracks. Maybe that's what he meant. That's what I took it as, you know. But we had to ask Kendrick his take on what he meant by that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You talk about west coast infrastructure. It was a period when you needed a Dr. Dre cosine to get out of the West. Why do you think that changed?

[Snoop]

Dre, man, he built. I call it an island. If you look at music, it's not like three or four islands in. In rap music, you know what I mean? And a lot of. A lot of things that you might not know. Well, y' all know, but that the people might not know are connected to these islands. They connected. You got to like Jimmy Iovine, Dr. Dre island, which. You gotta list all the artists. Tupac came under that Drake, Snoop game.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Kendrick.

[Snoop]

Well, yeah, Kendrick is a part of the Top Dog thing as well. But it connects, you know what I'm saying? And so then you got like the Lior or Def Jam island and that. Not Island Records. I'm just saying island, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. And Rough Riders, Murder Inc. Rockefeller. Yeah. You know, Kanye and all the artists that came after ye fall under that. And then you got whatever happened on Sony, you know what I mean? So it was one of them three options for artists, unless you wanted to go. What I call just taking the stairs and figuring out to how. How to get into one of those situations as your own thing. Top Dog did it, you know what I'm saying? Top Dog created his own thing. And so that was my goal to build the island myself, you know what I mean?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I saw what.

[Snoop]

Even like, Jay, they got Roc Nation. That's the island, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Absolutely.

[Snoop]

That's its own thing. Even though it came from them being an artist. Connected to another situation. They have turned that into its own operation.

[Jess Hilarious]

[Jess Hilarious]

Ghost let's get it back on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You sampled Hard Knock Life on the album.

[Snoop]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Did you have to clear. Who do you have to clear that with?

[Snoop]

Jay Z.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay. Okay.

[Snoop]

Yeah. You know what's crazy about that record?

[Jess Hilarious]

I thought you played the keys over.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Just enough where you had to clear. Nah, this is a hard motivation record. Yeah.

[Snoop]

Hustle and motivation.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Motivated. Yeah.

[Snoop]

Yeah. So when Jay Z got Annie to clear the record, I guess when he paid him, he said, y' all gotta let every other rap artist after me use this.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Really?

[Snoop]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wow.

[Snoop]

So that was his deal with whoever the producers and writers.

[DJ Envy]

That's interesting.

[Snoop]

You know what I'm saying? Yeah. So we benefited off his negotiation in 1998.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wow.

[Snoop]

We just had to get Jay Z to clear because when he cleared it with the owners of the copyright, he made it to where any hip hop artist after him could use the record.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Jay did that. So hopefully you don't have to go through that.

[Snoop]

You know what I'm saying?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Snoop]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So every hip hop artist got to clear with Jay paid for us.

[Snoop]

Well, they just need. Excuse me. They just need the Jay Z clearance. The Annie clearance is good. Long as they're a hip hop Artist.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Jay's always showed you love, though. Didn't he buy like a thousand copies of your Crenshaw? What album was.

[Snoop]

He bought a hundred copies of Crenshaw. That was a hundred dollars.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay, okay.

[Snoop]

Yeah, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And now you didn't even know him back then.

[Snoop]

Nah, I mean, you know, I met Jay in LA years ago at a concert. I was just backstage and I, you know, I ran up to. I ain't run up to him just like, what's up? I'm Nick. You know what I mean? I'm from la, bro, from rolling stuff. He actually bought a low rider. The story is I ain't never asked him, but he bought a low rider from one of my homeboys, Money Mike. That's in the Maya video, Best of Me.

[Jess Hilarious]

The baby blue one, right?

[Snoop]

Yeah. You know what I mean? He bought that from one of my homeboys, one of my G homies from la. That was old school hustler.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was really his, huh?

[Snoop]

Yeah, that was his. He bought that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm tired of that being so real.

[Snoop]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's confirmed. You know what I mean?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wow.

[Snoop]

So I just was like, yeah, I'm Nip. I'm from Rolling sixties. He like, nah, I know. And, you know, this was years before the Crenshaw thing. He like, you know, y' all doing your thing. Keep going, going. So that was the only combo we ever had until the Crenshaw thing. But, yeah, Jake been a 100, man, so you know what I mean? A lot of love now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Blue laces, too. One of my favorite records on the album. You make a spook who sat by the door reference.

[Snoop]

You know about that, man?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, yeah, absolutely. I read that book, but I don't. I don't think you a spook who sat about it, though. I think your intentions are pretty clear.

[Snoop]

Well, now, I would say so. But even to the. To the point we made earlier, that's one of the reasons I was so vocal about where I was coming from and what I represented, because I knew who I wanted to mobilize, you know what I mean? And for anybody that ain't seen that book, I mean, seen that movie or read the book, it's about a gang member from Chicago who, you know, presented himself in a way he never caught no cases. He had a clean cut look. And he infiltrated the CIA and he became educated and became. And basically he used their agenda, which was to have a total smoking in the CIA for political reasons. You know, we gonna speak right blunt. He used it against them, and I Think that in terms of hip hop, you think of the message that they embrace. I feel parallel with like, you know what I mean, the, the. The power structure. I don't mean the culture of hip hop, but the power structure music they got prescribed, Personas they expect from us, you know what I'm saying? So I feel like the way he used their intention against Handsome was. Was one of my underlying strategies.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, you gotta put the medicine in the candy. And what's interesting about that book, all his people used to call him Uncle.

[Snoop]

Tom and Akun, you know what I'm saying?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But he was there working for them the whole time.

[Snoop]

Yeah. And he.

[Jess Hilarious]

And he.

[Snoop]

I don't want to go blow nothing up like he did in the movie, you know what I mean? But just in terms of being able to mobilize his homies to a higher cause, you know, there's a lot of.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Little jewels that you saying. And that's what I like. Like I said, the medicine really isn't the candy. Because even when you drop a ball, like about Dr. Sebi.

[Snoop]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like just that one thing they killed Dr. Sebi will make somebody go research who Dr. Sebi is. Dr. Sebi.

[Snoop]

My bad. I said it wrong. My lingo a little different.

[Jess Hilarious]

Have you met Dr. CB?

[Snoop]

I never met him. I met his wife and I take his products for sure.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why you think they killed him?

[Snoop]

Why do they kill all holistic doctors messing up the medical industry, short stopping their grind? Why do get killed for hustling in front of a spirit spot? You sure stopping the grind. And these they check is billions. You got that get flipped for a couple hundred thousand. So you playing with some pharmaceutical money, you know, and what's crazy, I'm. I'm working on doing a documentary on the trial in 1985, when Dr. Sebi went to trial against New York.

[Jess Hilarious]

Right.

[Snoop]

Because he. He put a newspaper. He cured aids.

[Jess Hilarious]

Did he?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Did he. He beat the case.

[Snoop]

And he went to federal court the next day and beat that case on record.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Record, Yep.

[Snoop]

And nobody talk about it. I think the story is important. I think it's a powerful narrative.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It is.

[Snoop]

You know what I mean? And I think if. Imagine this. Anybody in this room, if I could say, hey, somebody cured aids, Y' all be like, yeah, right. And then I could show you a example of him going to trial and proving in a court to a jury that he cured aids. Y' all be interested in that?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Absolutely.

[Snoop]

And y' all would look into the way he did it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right?

[DJ Envy]

Right.

[Snoop]

So I feel like more so than like champion his products or explaining his methodology. Put some light on that case.

[DJ Envy]

Imagine being able to cure cancer or being able to cure any type of herpes. Just all kinds.

[Snoop]

And that's what he do, by the way.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's what he did. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He used to send all types of vitamins up to the station.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You had herpes?

[Jess Hilarious]

No, I said vitamins to the station. Did you hear me? I said vitamins.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Damn, Envy.

[Snoop]

This guy's crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

My last question for Nip, man. Cause I'm riding in the car and I'm like, boy, Nip gonna get in some for this. You said that your mistress is Creole. How do you get away with that?

[Snoop]

Man, it's music, man. I said, my wife is a C note. I said, this life is a free throw. My wife is a C note but my mistress is Creole. You know, that was number one. I recorded that before me. Before I had a girl, for real.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay?

[Snoop]

I was in a relationship.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's a disclaimer.

[Snoop]

That's a fact, though. I ain't just being political. But then again, it's music, man. Like, my girl's an actress. If she kissing on camera, what, I'm be mad? Nah, do your thing.

[Jess Hilarious]

I love the fact you said your girl. So y' all back together?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Y' all good? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Snoop]

We solid players up, too, man. That's all I'm gonna say about that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's the reason I asked. Cause she don't play. Yeah, she'll run down on you.

[Snoop]

Oh, yeah, she ran down on Charlotte.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You know, Charlamagne went hard, you know what I'm saying?

[Snoop]

But, yeah, boogie, boogie, man, you know, she know how to defend herself and stand up, you know what I mean? And, you know, she from la. She grew up. A lot of people might think she got a privileged background. She ain't got no privileged background.

[DJ Envy]

They think she's new.

[Lauren LaRosa]

New in real life.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's what they think.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

From Atlanta. Yeah.

[Snoop]

Nah, but she come from la, man. And you know what I mean, she seen Charlamagne and zeroed in. But she. I told her from jump, though. I'm like, you gonna meet Charlamagne. And, like, Charlamagne. Respect Charlamagne, you know what I mean? Charlamagne known for being honest, and, you know what I mean, ruffling feathers. But I know his stance, and I'm like, y' all got a similar mentality in terms of, like, what's right. You know what I'm saying? So, yeah, she. She got a lot of love and.

[Jess Hilarious]

Respect for you, but we appreciate you joining us? Nipsey Hussle, Victory lap.

[Snoop]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

And it's the Breakfast Club.

[Snoop]

Good morning.

[Carlos Miller]

Yeah, the Breakfast Club.

[Jess Hilarious]

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. It's time for Pastor Oaks. What's up, Nyla?

[DJ Envy]

What's up, Envy?

[Lauren LaRosa]

What's up, Shar? Jess?

[DJ Envy]

How are you, Big Nyla?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nyla Simone. What's happening?

[DJ Envy]

Oh, man, I'm excited. A lot of new music dropped today. I'm really, really excited about this Marco plus project. So that's the first song I'm gonna start or the first artist I'm gonna start with.

[Lauren LaRosa]

The whole project is Fire. Seriously, like.

[DJ Envy]

But I'm gonna get into smoking.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All day, a young man snapping. Where you from?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Snapping? He from Atlanta.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You sent me that yesterday. I gotta listen to it. You know he's snapping.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes. And I like to be real chill. Yes.

[DJ Envy]

The whole tape is like that. He do have a few joints that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Are kind of like.

[DJ Envy]

I don't want to say clubbish, but.

[Lauren LaRosa]

A little more melodic, but bars.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I've been waiting for Atlanta for the Atlanta sound has been so many different sounds over the last 25, 30 years, but I've been waiting for them to get back to, like, that outkast, Goody Mob Dungeon Family feel.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I feel like with Jid and even that guy you just played right there, I feel like we starting to get a lot more of that from the eight.

[DJ Envy]

I'm thankfully. I'm not gonna lie, I did the need to Know podcast, and we were.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Comparing, like, Jit and Gunna's project, and.

[DJ Envy]

I was like, I feel like after.

[Lauren LaRosa]

The Kendrick and the clips, it's hard.

[DJ Envy]

I don't wanna say it's hard for me, but I'm not really feeling just sonically pleasing albums.

[Lauren LaRosa]

No. More like the Gunna album's not doing it for me. Like the J Project, you want to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hear them say, talk about things.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I want to hear him talk.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Socially redeeming values, some substance. I get it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

So that's where I'm at with it. But next record I'm gonna get into.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Is this Cardi B. Imaginary Players. It's been teased all week online. She flipped Jay Z's Imaginary Players.

[Jess Hilarious]

She got some balls in there.

[Lauren LaRosa]

She did.

[Jess Hilarious]

She got some. Some balls.

[Lauren LaRosa]

How you like it?

[DJ Envy]

I really hate the delivery throughout pretty.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Much the whole song. Yeah, yeah, Okay.

[Jess Hilarious]

I like.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I like.

[Jess Hilarious]

She got some bars in there. Glory hole chicks. Y' all don't know who you effing with with.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She got you would love the glory. Whole line, you know, men's watches.

[Jess Hilarious]

Take the links out like, she's. She got some balls in there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I told y' all yesterday that the hardest people to please with that record was going to be individuals born in the 1900s, because we grew up on imaginary players. So it's a high bar. Like, it's a very, very high bar. So to me, it's okay. You know, it's like something that would be cool on a mixtape or an interlude on the album, but as a single for the rollout it's received, I don't think it's one of those. You know, personally, I think people should leave certain classics alone. Like, there's no upside to doing it because I can't help but compare it to the original.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I think she was. She just been attached to it because she said, like, she used to bump this. This is something that she wanted to do, like, as a New York tribute, like, to hold. You know what I mean? Like, this is something that she grew up on. This is one of hers. So, you know, one of her favorite songs. So.

[Jess Hilarious]

But also she's like that. Like, she has the bread, the money, the cars, the jewelry. She's out outside.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So. Yeah, but we hear her talk that talk. I think I talk all the time.

[DJ Envy]

I like. I. What she's talking about, like, I think.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Is fun, but I just think sonically, like, for a song, it's just really not that pleasing.

[DJ Envy]

Also, I feel like. And I felt like this were her last few what freestyle she was doing last year with over the Missy Elliott be. Not that it's. I want to say, like, I feel.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Like the videos are so over produced where you could really just don't even.

[DJ Envy]

Need the video and just put out.

[Lauren LaRosa]

A good record to me. But yeah, I like the record.

[DJ Envy]

Speaking of good records, let's get into to this last joint called called Holy.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Father from Manny Wells. He's an afrobeat slash R B artist from the dmv. Yo, I like it. I'm gonna lie. He sound like Chance to rap a little bit, though. Like when. You know, when. When Chance start do the singing thing. Yeah, dude. That's what we sound like to me a little bit. But I love the song. Interesting. Yeah. Okay.

[Jess Hilarious]

It was cool.

[DJ Envy]

Well, Chance also dropped the album today too.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Shout out to Chance.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, snap.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Definitely. Okay.

[DJ Envy]

Any thoughts on the record?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Listen, when I get depressed in this raining and then I'll tell you how I feel. Wow, I'm in too much of a good mood right now.

[Jess Hilarious]

It was cool.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's like one of those mood.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It's not depressed.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's what it felt like to me.

[DJ Envy]

It's not depressed.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I got. I don't know that. That beat. Soon as I heard you talk about things that aren't sonically pleasing. Soon as I heard that beat, I was like, it's. The sun's out.

[Carlos Miller]

All right, I don't want to hear that right now.

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, stop.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's not. I'm just saying. Was it the.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It. Was it the hood?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I didn't even hear. I didn't even. As soon as I heard.

[DJ Envy]

That is the part of the song that was picked.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I think that's your song.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Soon I heard.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I actually didn't pick it.

[DJ Envy]

I just picked the song and that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's that. What's that song? That old school song that we like.

[Carlos Miller]

Oh, man.

[Lauren LaRosa]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's a nasty fit when you think about it. A Yankee fitted with a Knicks jersey, then the jeans.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That's most New Yorkers starter kit, so.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But why. Why you got to do the Yankees and the Knick jersey? We know you from New York.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Y so I can't wait to get there. Only person that we missing is. Is Carlos. Carlos in D.C. i never, I actually never did a show with Carlos Miller.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Really?

[Lauren LaRosa]

As close as we are? I never did a show with Carlos Miller. I did shows with dc, of course, and Chico, but never Carlos Miller.

[Jess Hilarious]

Salute. Salute to Carlo. I actually called Carlos yesterday at the FaceTime. I had to ask him about some cars. Cuz Carlos is in the cars.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes. When he was in up here, he was saying like he wanted to be.

[Jess Hilarious]

On the car show and that's what we need to do more. I always tell people that, like if you knows, if somebody knows something more.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Than you ask, duh.

[Jess Hilarious]

So I FaceTime call.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I said call.

[Jess Hilarious]

It's me. FaceTiming you, if you don't have on clothes, just cover the camera. So I, I face like they might be in bed or in the toilet. So I just say well just cover the camera. I want you to see something, make sure everything is cool. And he, he guided me through.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So by the way, the only reason I've been able to build the things that I've been able to build is doing it with people who know more than you absolutely are. Are going to talk to the people who are experts in said area. I don't launch a movie production company with nobody who's never done movies.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I'm saying?

[Lauren LaRosa]

How long, how long did it get to that point? Like were you ever trying to find out about it and somebody wanted to get, keep some information, something from you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But you never had that problem. Honestly, personally, I've never had that issue, you know what I'm saying? Probably because you know, you, you, you, you get back what you give out. So if you aren't a gatekeeper and somebody that holds information from people, I don't think people will hold it from you. Now if you're a person that holds information from folks, you're probably gonna run into a lot of people who hold information from your dumb ass too. That's right.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay, let's salute the call. I spoke to him yesterday. Now Charlamagne, man, you got a positive note.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I do. I want to remind people to go out there and Pick up Cheryl McKissick Daniels new book the Black Family who Built America. You know, she was a guest on Breakfast Club this week. She put out this amazing book that tells the story of McKissick and McKissick. A fifth generation, soon to be seventh generation minority owned black woman owned construction company and it's been around since the 1800s, has built buildings, they've developed buildings like the Barclays center and they've contributed to the Lincoln, Lincoln Field in Philadelphia. A whole bunch of stuff, man. Pick up the book the Black Family who Built America by Cheryl McKissick Daniel. Available everywhere you buy books now courtesy, courtesy of my book imprint Black Privilege Publishing with Simon and Schuster. Now the positive note is this treatment. Treat people with respect even when they don't deserve it. Not as a reflection of their character, but as a reflection of yours. Have a great day.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Hell no.

[Carlos Miller]

The Breakfast Club.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay. Have you heard about this? Last year the green changed the formula for their cool rush deodorant. Their fans rebelled and wanted the old scent back and degree. Listen, that doesn't happen often. They admitted they effed up and are bringing the original Cool Rush scent back now. It's exactly how you remember remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. It's the reason it's the one men's antiperspirant and it's back in Walmart, Target and other stores now for under $4. So try it and see what the fuss is about. Head to your local Walmart or Target to try the OG degree Cool Rush for yourself.

Step into the shower with one goal. To show up as the best version of me.
