Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Concert Recap: Usher & Chris Brown (03:32–06:24)

• Jess Hilarious raves about attending the Usher and Chris Brown "grown and sexy" tour in DC, describing an incredible, nostalgic experience with impressive performances and a creative nightclub/burlesque theme.
• Jess notes how both artists performed their biggest hits rather than focusing on newer material, which kept the energy high for the audience.
• Charlamagne and Jess joke about the energy it takes to attend three nights of concerts, highlighting how nightlife is "young people activity."

2. Jay-Z at Yankee Stadium – Security Incident & Show Delays (26:44–29:30)

• Discussion of a major security breach at Night 3 of Jay-Z’s "30th Anniversary" concerts at Yankee Stadium, where thousands rushed the gates, causing a significant delay.

• Mayor Eric Adams and the hosts agree safety comes first, justifying the delay:

  “If there’s a security breach... you got to shut everything down because you don’t know what these people got on them.” — Charlamagne (28:23)

• Despite the chaos, Jay-Z did not shorten the show and delivered multiple guest appearances, including Rihanna, Beyoncé, Pharrell, and Teyana Taylor.

3. Teyana Taylor's Performance & Backlash (29:33–33:43)

• Teyana Taylor received criticism for her Sunday night performance at Yankee Stadium, largely due to technical issues with her earpiece, which threw her off-beat and made it difficult for the crowd to hear her.
• DJ Envy explains the technical challenges for performers:

  "If the earpieces are not working, you can't hear what the crowd is hearing... you’re hearing actually like a second delayed." (29:53)

• Charlamagne contextualizes the critique:

  "She was set up for failure because when you got the expectation to either see Mary J. Blige or Beyoncé, that's what you expected." (30:31)

• Teyana responds via social media, staying gracious and focusing on her gratitude for sharing the stage and inspiring young girls despite the issues.

  "The gratitude was louder than any mic could ever be... I got to see all those little Harlem girls stand beside the goat in Yankee Stadium." — Teyana Taylor (33:08, as read by DJ Envy)

4. Memphis Bleek Interview: Jay-Z’s Legacy, Loyalty & Rivalries (42:07–67:08)

Jay-Z at Yankee Stadium

• Memphis Bleek places the recent concert series among HOV’s top three performances ever, citing the depth and emotional narrative of Night 1.

  “Thirty years ago today, we prayed this would work. And here we are 30 years later. This is, this is the result—it worked.” (42:35)

• He and the hosts reminisce about missing guests (Foxy Brown, Sauce Money) and discuss how the "blueprint" era shows are often underrated due to timing (9/11 overshadowing the album).

On Loyalty & Hip Hop Beef

• DJ Envy asks Bleek about loyalty, specifically whether Jay-Z's rivals automatically become Bleek’s enemies:

  “If Jay has beef, do you have beef?” — DJ Envy (62:00)

  • Memphis Bleek:

    "No, because if I got beef... He daddy'd the beef without telling me. With Nas I didn’t agree to that. I wanted that beef to keep going..." (62:04)

  • He draws a distinction between "real" beef and pain from broken bonds (as with Dame Dash).
  • Charlamagne reflects, "Technically, he’s right. Jay's beef isn’t his beef, so he's just explained the nuance there." (87:14)

Reflections on Hip Hop’s Maturity

• Bleek admits, “We were young—protect your own, represent your part of the city... But if we wanna teach the next generation to keep hip hop one big community, we gotta lead by example.” (51:58)
• Talks candidly about how old rivalries (with Nas, Fat Joe, etc.) have shifted to mutual respect and collaboration.

Business and Self-Reliance

• Bleek takes issue with artists who depend on more successful peers:

  “Jay raised bosses—he don’t raise dependents.” (59:29)

• He lays out his business ventures (restaurants, label, podcast) as proof of independence:

  “We all get a check and say ‘I need another check?’ That’s insane to me.” (60:31)

Notable Quotes

• "Reasonable Doubt can drop any day because it speaks to mentality, not a time stamp... It’s a hustler's story. That’s forever." — Memphis Bleek (49:05)
• On old beefs & social media:

  "I'm not gonna talk to you through YouTube or Instagram. Not when my wife is from Philly—I’m in Philly every Thanksgiving! Where you at? I’m pulling up." (64:53)

5. Hot Topics & Front Page News

Housing Law & IRS/Trump Updates (07:27–11:46)

• New bipartisan housing law aims to ban bulk home buying by private equity, help first-time buyers, and encourage conversion of office space to homes.
• Federal judge voids Trump’s previous IRS settlement due to conflict of interest.
• Hosts question the meaning of “affordable” housing and point out ongoing hurdles for buyers.

ICE Shooting in Maine (35:19–38:59)

• Discussion of a fatal ICE shooting where the victim was reportedly the wrong person, raising concerns about excessive force and lack of proper procedures.

  “Four shots went through the windshield… This does not sound like any kind of protocol...” — Congresswoman Shelly Pingree (36:31)

• Charlamagne and Envy bemoan how quickly critical stories fade from public consciousness.

Reproductive Trends (39:19–41:33)

• Report: For the first time, women over 40 have higher birth rates than teenagers.
• Mimi Brown explains this as evidence of a shifting culture: “The average age for a first-time mom is now almost 28 compared to 21 in the 1970s.” (39:36)

Listener Call-ins (13:16–21:32)

• Callers weigh in on current events, give advice, and joke about pop culture and relationships, exhibiting the show’s signature banter and connection with its audience.

6. Loyalty Debate – Do You Inherit Your Friends’ Beefs? (85:32–97:27)

• Spurred by Bleek’s interview, the crew and listeners debate whether loyalty means taking on all your friends’ adversaries.
• Key insights:
  • Most agree loyalty does not require adopting another’s conflicts unless it’s serious or truly crosses a line.
  • Jess notes: “If it’s something irreconcilable, yeah... otherwise, I don’t expect folks to ride for all my beefs, especially if it’s petty.” (88:50)
  • Charlamagne emphasizes nuance: “If you know it can’t be fixed, I appreciate you letting me know. But if I gotta cut you off, and you’re super close, then yes, I’d expect you to cut that individual off too.” (90:45)

7. Celebrity & Legal Updates (103:26–108:03)

• Tyler Perry is accused of being shaken down in a legal settlement over alleged sexual misconduct.
• Wolf of Wall Street’s Jordan Belfort completes most of his court-ordered restitution, though he paid a small portion compared to the original $110 million.
• Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie’s Children: Their daughter Zahara legally drops ‘Pitt’ from her name, highlighting the family rift.

8. Listener Q&A, Lighter Talk & Wrap-Up

• Light banter about long eyelashes and the “danger” of extra-long lashes (Charlamagne’s comedic theory, 84:25).
• Closing with positivity:

  “It’s always better to be sincere and lose everything than to be insincere and go places...” — Charlamagne’s positive note (110:48)

No tricks, no shortcuts. Just pure V6 engine power. That's quality, reliability and durability. Discover how the new Nissan Pathfinder turns the unthinkable into the unforgettable.

[State Farm Agent (Ad Voice)]

This weekend, one of the homies mentioned he closed on a new crib. While everyone's asking about a housewarming, you're asking the real questions. Like, who is his State Farm agent? See, home ownership is one thing, but the right coverage is the real game changer. It's how you protect your legacy.

[Coca Cola Ad Voice]

Have you ever ordered an ice cold Coca Cola zero sugar and told yourself, I'm just gonna take one sip while I wait for my food.

[Lauren LaRosa]

One thing I had to unlearn was treating my textured hair like everybody else's. For years, I followed all of the popular advice, tried the trends, and used products that worked for other people. But my hair was still dry. It was breaking and it just wasn't retaining any length. Not the length I wanted anyway. It was so frustrating because I felt like I was doing everything right, but still not seeing any results. Everything changed when I realized my hair needed products made specifically for textured hair. That's why I love Baskin Lather. I've been especially enjoying the stimulating scalp and hair balm because it helps me nourish and hydrate my hair without feeling like it's greasy. It's made with 100% natural ingredients, helps reduce breakage, adds shine and supports healthier looking hair over time. I also love the hydrating hair mistake which helps keep my soft hair moisturized and helps fight dryness and frizz. And I love the story behind the brand. Baskin Lather is a black owned and family operated company created by founder Shayna and her mother when they developed their own hair care line solutions. When her younger sister was told that her hair may never grow back. Today her hair reaches down to her hips, honey. Looking at the before and the after results on the site, it's easy to see why so many people swear by these products.

This is the FIFA World cup semifinal. So we'll see what happens out of that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Is it still in New York?

[DJ Envy]

The last game is in New York on the 19th finals game. What's up, Mimi?

[Mimi Brown]

Good morning, M.V. jeff. How y' all doing this?

[Memphis Bleak]

Mimi Brown, Good morning.

[Mimi Brown]

Good morning. So we start this morning with an update following the sudden death of Senator Lindsay Graham. So his younger sister, Darlene Graham Nordon. She has been appointed temporarily to fill his U.S. senate seat in South Carolina. She has no political experience. She's never worked in government, and currently her job is to help people with disabilities find jobs. But she says that she is going to take on this role to honor her brother who she says helped take care of her after their parents died. Let's listen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Thank the governor for selecting me to

[Mimi Brown]

serve the remainder of Lindsey's term.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It is such an honor. Lindsey, I miss you more, more than

[News Reporter]

I can even put into words.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But I'm going to do this. I got it.

[Caller/Guest]

Thank you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's amazing to me that you need absolutely no qualifications to be a. I

[DJ Envy]

was thinking the same thing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, you get to be a whole senator with no political experience whatsoever.

[DJ Envy]

Have no clue what you're doing. You're just walking in the first day of work. Like, which way is my office? Like this. That's wild.

[Mimi Brown]

Exactly. And that's what a lot of people online are also pointing out this morning. Now, this appointment will last through the end of the year. South Carolina Republicans they will choose a permanent nominee and a special primary on August 11th. And if you are trying to buy a home or your first home and you've been priced out of the market, there is a new law that you should know about. It's one of the biggest housing bills passed in decades, and it comes from Georgia Senator Raphael Warnock. Now, the bill is aimed at tackling one of the biggest challenges facing home buyers today, a shortage of affordable homes. Now, the goal is to build more homes, bring down housing costs, and the bill will make it easier to turn empty office space buildings into housing, provide more funding for factory built homes, as well as cut some of the red tape that slows construction. Here is Senator Raphael Warnock.

[Memphis Bleak]

You cannot compete with Wall Street. They will outbid you every time. And that's why I'm proud to have written and negotiated legislation that will put a stop, stop to this madness by banning private equity firms from mass purchasing single family homes in communities like these and our nation. This band became law over the weekend as part of the largest bipartisan housing package in a generation.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

When they say affordable, what do they mean? Because affordable is subjective.

[Mimi Brown]

Now, it is very subjective. It's still going to be subjective depending on where you live and what you can afford. But it, it will bring down the cost of what we're seeing now. So I think, you know, that's the good news in this. President Trump, he refused to sign this bill because the Senate had not passed the Save America Act. But under the Constitution, if a president does not sign or veto a bill within 10 days, the bill automatically becomes law. So you just heard Senator Warnock say it became law over the weekend after it had sat on Trump's desk for about 10 days. So we have that bipartisan housing bill now in effect. And remember the deal that President Trump made with the IRS over his past tax returns? I know we talked about that a lot a few months ago. Yep. Well, the federal judge has now threw that deal out. So Trump sued the government after his tax returns were leaked. Now, the settlement his administration reached with the IRS would have ended the dispute and protected Trump and his family, his company, from having to deal with those tax issues going forward. But the judge said the deal was not valid because Trump was the president when the deal was made, meaning the government was essentially negotiating with the same person it was suing. So Trump was negotiating with himself.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Good.

[Mimi Brown]

And so now that deal is out the window. The IRS can continue its case, meaning Trump could still face all of those tax liabilities. And the judge also blocked Another part of the agreement, that taxpayer anti weaponization fund for people who claim that they were untargeted, unfairly targeted by the federal government. So that bill has also been. Or not that bill, but that agreement, that fund has also been tossed out as well.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hey, if we all can't get tax deals, nobody can get tax deals. I'm all for that.

[DJ Envy]

Damn it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay, how much?

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Misery loves company. I want all of them. All of them got to pay taxes.

[DJ Envy]

And Mimi, you know what, too, Back to the major housing bill. I wonder what John o' Brien would say about that. Because John o', Brien, he always talks about the way he made his fortune was he purchased all these single family owns. I think he owns 700 single family homes. I think he was the biggest person to own the most homes during that time in the country. That's how he made his fortune. So I wonder how what he. How he looks at it, because he probably looks at it from a different angle.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why you ain't call him and ask him?

[DJ Envy]

She just said it. She just did the story.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, she just did the story. You want to call?

[Jessica (Jess)]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This morning, Please.

[DJ Envy]

I would love to.

[Memphis Bleak]

Yeah.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah. Let's get his opinion on that. Because I know for a lot of corporations, just a lot of people who do buy up those single family homes, a lot of people everyday people said they have been priced out and they cannot afford to purchase those, those smaller homes. So it would be interesting to hear from the other side. Absolutely. All right, y'.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All.

[Mimi Brown]

Coming up at 7, a deadly ice shooting in Maine is raising questions about whether the man who was killed was even the person that officials were looking for. We're going to talk about that in the next hour.

[DJ Envy]

All right. And everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need the vent, hit us up now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This is your time to get it

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The only thing I will say that I appreciate it. And I was talking about this yesterday when we had to wait outside. It was cool. Cause it was like, it's people that I rock with. Everybody was outside, like, Absol was out there, and punch and. And of course, you know, Angela, Rye was with me. And then, you know, I mean, DEZ was out there.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You know, one Thing I had to unlearn was treating my textured hair like everybody else's. For years I followed all of the popular advice, tried the trends and used products that worked for other people people. But my hair was still dry. It was breaking and it just wasn't retaining any length. Not the length I wanted anyway. It was so frustrating because I felt like I was doing everything right but still not seeing any results. Everything changed when I realized my hair needed products made specifically for textured hair. That's why I love Baskin Lather. I've been especially enjoying the stimulating scalp and hair balm because it helps me nourish and hydrate my hair without feeling like it's greasy. It's made with 100% natural ingredients, helps reduce breakage, adds shine and supports healthier looking hair over time.

Let's get to the latest

[State Farm Agent (Ad Voice)]

with Lauren

[Jessica (Jess)]

Larose because you particularly are bringing the

[Charlamagne Tha God]

energy to mainstream radio, to black radio.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Sources trusted. Did you hear that exclusive Lauren?

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything and everything she'd be

[Charlamagne Tha God]

having the latest on things you asked,

[Lauren LaRosa]

the questions that need to be answered

[Charlamagne Tha God]

on the Breakfast Club.

[Coca Cola Ad Voice]

Little brown girls look at you and

[Lauren LaRosa]

go I want to be like you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You ll cool. Talk to me. Lauren is late life kicking her ass.

[DJ Envy]

I just want to let you know that they just gave me these sheets 30 seconds ago.

[Memphis Bleak]

So let's see.

[Caller/Guest]

Wow.

[Jessica (Jess)]

Really?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Tell me some of the stories.

[DJ Envy]

See how this goes.

[Caller/Listener]

All right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

See if there's anything I know about.

[Jessica (Jess)]

Let's do it.

[DJ Envy]

Charlemagne must have picked these stories. All right, Jay Z almost canceled night three of Yankee Stadium. They said at 8:55. They said people, many without tickets, rushed the door and they were thinking about canceling the show. They said JJ wanted everybody to be safe. He wanted everybody to get in. He wanted no music to stop before they did this so safety could be ensured. And they did not want to reschedule. They said they believed if they played music or he started to perform, people outside would start bum rushing the door even more. So they decided to just be patient and wait and really get people in. Now, Mayor Memdani, the mayor of New York City, he says he has to look into exactly what happened.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

You are our first rapper mayor and as you can. I saw your hat. As you can imagine, were you there this weekend? Because unk Mayor was there this weekend.

[DJ Envy]

And then secondly, what do you make of what happened last night and sort of the fracas that was caused there?

[Mayor Eric Adams]

I was not there this weekend though. I know that it was a moment that many New Yorkers are going to hold dear for years. Nas and Jay Z performing together. It's incredible. And last night is something that we're going to follow up on because I know that there are many New Yorkers who were delayed after there was a breach of security by those that didn't have tickets. And then it resulted in a multiple hour delay for many others. So that's something we'll follow up on. The first album I was ever given was a clean version of the blueprint, which is unfortunate. I learned about the importance of freedom of expression. H to the izzo girls, girls, girls, those. I just remember that in the jog proof Walkman and then learning that there was actually an explicit version as well.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, the reality is, you know, it's always safety first, right? So if there's a security breach in a facility like that, whether it's one person, and in this case it was thousands from what I heard.

[Caller/Listener]

Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Thousands of people are able to bum rush a building and get in. You got to shut everything down because you don't know what these people got on them. You don't know if they got guns, you don't know if they got bombs, you don't know if they got knives. You don't know what their intentions people

[DJ Envy]

to get trampled either, Right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, that too. But also what if somebody gets in there with a gun? What if somebody gets in there with an explosive? So police gotta shut the building down and everybody got to do their job and try to find these individuals, like, you just have to do that or, you know, let the bomb sniffing dogs go through all go all throughout the building. Because worst case scenario, what if something like that would have happened? We'd be having a whole different conversation.

[DJ Envy]

A whole different conversation. Hope should have canceled it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He was so greedy.

[DJ Envy]

Yes, absolutely. So they did what was. And yes, it was an inconvenience for a lot of people, but the fact that the show still went on is amazing. And ended at three. And he still gave you a great show. It wasn't like he said, all right, we gonna give you a short show. He still brought out Rihanna, Beyonce. I mean, it was ridiculous. I mean, so many different.

[Jessica (Jess)]

Yes, my cousin's clips was there. They performed.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But also, you know what else? The fact that there were people that breached security and got in, but they didn't even want no trouble. They just wanted to hear ho.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, they just wanted to see ho.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They just wanted to gossip. They just wanted to hear ho.

[DJ Envy]

He brought out so many people. Jeez. Easy. Pharrell. Tiana Taylor.

[Caller/Listener]

Who?

[DJ Envy]

Tiana Taylor was criticized yesterday because of her performance. Let's listen to the performance.

[Caller/Listener]

I'm explaining.

[Caller/Guest]

That's why.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, no, I'm explaining. So for. For people that don't know if you. If you've never been to a performance or never been to a show or of course haven't DJed a show, when you're performing on stage, the music bounces back, so you're actually offbeat a little bit. So if you don't have headphones on or you don't have the earpieces on, you're hearing echo away off. Like, if you listen to Slick Rick, when he performed with Jay, he was a little off because the earpieces weren't working. So if the earpieces are not working, you can't hear what the crowd is hearing. And you're trying. You're hearing actually like a second delayed. And that's why she was a second delayed. And even if you hear Jay Z, he's trying to guide her because she's a second off.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So all that you're saying is good. But the reality of the situation is she was set up for failure because when you got the expectation to either see Mary J. Blige or Beyonce, that's what you expected. That's all. That's just the truth to the map.

[DJ Envy]

But they have some audio.

[Jessica (Jess)]

I. I can't. We couldn't hear her either. Like, I just couldn't hear what she was singing.

[Mayor Eric Adams]

Correct.

[Jessica (Jess)]

And she was Singing hard, too. Hard as hell. And I just couldn't hear it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That is a problem for me.

[Jessica (Jess)]

I couldn't hear it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But it was also an expectation. Honestly, I don't. I love Tiana Taylor to death, but Tiana Taylor shouldn't have done that on Sunday. It should have been. If Beyonce did it on Friday, the only person people wanted to see come out and do it on Sunday with Mary J.

[DJ Envy]

No, absolutely. Positively. But if you're an artist and you ask Teyana Taylor for that moment and you say, hey, I want you to perform, nobody's gonna say, jay, no, I'm. It's not for me. No, you're gonna do that. You're gonna give him your all. Right now, the ear pieces didn't work. Now, we have here audio behind the scenes before she went on stage and you could actually hear her singing clearly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nobody's questioning whether Tiana Taylor can sing.

[DJ Envy]

Yes, they were.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We know Tiana Taylor can say. I mean, Tiana Taylor's not like a vocalist, like a Jasmine Sullivan or anybody like that, but we know that she can sing. But there's still a matter of you just wanted married. Expectation. Yes, it was expectation.

[Jessica (Jess)]

Wanted to see them boots.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, Beyonce came out there Friday. That's Beyonce.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And her mic was on, Right? So she was killing it. And then on Sunday, you like, all right, Mary ain't got no show tonight in Vegas. Everybody had their phones out because they swear Mary J was about to walk out on that stage. And Tiana can't.

[Caller/Listener]

That's right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's just like, oh, well, Tiana. We love Tiana.

[DJ Envy]

But, yeah, the narrative yesterday was Tiana couldn't sing, but, yes, she could sing. She gets busy. That's. Why did you hit it behind the scenes

[Jessica (Jess)]

when Beyonce went off stage or whatever. This was Friday.

[Mimi Brown]

Did y'.

[Jessica (Jess)]

All. What y' all do when she was like, give it up for my baby Jigger man.

[DJ Envy]

She gave him a little kiss.

[Jessica (Jess)]

What did y' all do when she

[DJ Envy]

said that he was singing?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He's probably. That was.

[Jessica (Jess)]

I. You don't. See, that's the thing. All right, you don't remember it, but, like, they don't call him that. B. She said the Giga man.

[DJ Envy]

You don't know what she called it?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, people did. They used to call him Jay Z. Calls himself Jigga Man. He used to.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, a long time ago. But just so. So you know, Tiana Taylor posted yesterday, and she said the sound and in air said, not today.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[DJ Envy]

But guess what? The gratitude was louder and than any mic could ever be. I may not have been able to hear a damn thing, but one thing I could was C, I got to see all those little Harlem girls stand beside the goat in Yankee Stadium in front of over 40,000 people who showed so much love. If you would have told this little Harlem girl that one day she shares stay with HOV in one of the most iconic stadiums in the world, she would have never believed you. Father. God has a funny way of reminding you just how far you've come. One minute you're caught up in everything that's going on wrong, and the next he gently reminds you that you're standing in the middle of a prayer you once whispered as a little girl in Jesus name.

[Caller/Guest]

Amen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No drop on the clues box with Tiana Taylor. We love Tiana Taylor.

[DJ Envy]

Yes, absolutely.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But yeah, Beyonce and Mary, that's different. That's all I'm saying.

[Jessica (Jess)]

I love you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I love TT too. Okay. I love her.

[DJ Envy]

All right, now when we come back, we got front page news. Mimi will be breaking everything down. And in Memphis, bleak. Yeah, we're gonna be talking some more HOV this morning. He's gonna be breaking down everything that happened behind the scenes and everything that happened. All right? So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Morning, everybody.

[DJ Envy]

It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious, Char guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Justice dancing here because she just left the concert last night. She's seen Usher and Chris Brown, period. Look at her. She's so happy. Look at you. Let's get to some front page news now. Today, my son is very excited. He loves this FIFA. So the France takes on Spain at 3 o' clock today Eastern Time. It's the FIFA World cup semifinal and that game is in Dallas now. Also, we got a salute to Jordan walker of the saint. St. Louis Cardinals. He won the Home Run Derby yesterday. It was on Netflix and it's in Philly. He's the only black home run participant and he won.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I know nothing about baseball. The only reason I knew that the Home Run Derby was in Philly yesterday, because I was talking to Wallow and for whatever reason, he was in Mitchell and that's buying jerseys for the. For the home rent.

[DJ Envy]

I don't understand. One day I gotta ask, like Wallow doesn't have a team.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He just webbing with no idea.

[DJ Envy]

One day I seen him with a Knicks jersey. Next day I seen him with a Spurs jersey. Then I seen him with a Philly jersey. I like, I'm confused.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Is the all Star game in Philly this year. Yeah, that's what he was telling me. That's what he was saying yesterday. He was like, the baseball game is in Philly.

[DJ Envy]

It's tonight.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I had no idea.

[DJ Envy]

It's tonight. What's up? Mimi?

[Mimi Brown]

Good morning. Good morning. So we start in Maine this hour. That's where a deadly ICE operation is raising new questions about immigration enforcement and the use of force. So the shooting is the second fatal encounter involving ice, an ICE officer in about a week. The Department of Homeland Security says ICE agents, they were watching the home connected to someone with final deportation orders. But according to the agency, officers tried to stop a vehicle leaving the area. DHS said the driver attempted to flee and then an officer fired because he believed that the public was in danger. Now, immigrant rights groups, they identified the man as a 26 year old Colombian national who they say was legally authorized to work in the United States. And federal officials and witnesses, they have different accounts of what happened. But Senator Angus King of Maine and Homeland Security officials later told him the officers were trying to serve an arrest warrant for someone else, meaning that the man that they killed was the wrong man. Questions are now growing over how this operation unfolded, whether it could have been prevented. Maine Congresswoman Shelly Pingree is now calling for answers. Let's listen to what she had to say.

[News Reporter]

The justification originally for the person they said they were going after, I think was utter bull. And then the fact that they shot the wrong person, who is now no longer there for his three year old daughter and wife, is beyond horrendous. This is a, you know, case of ICE having way too much money quotas to pick up as many people as they possibly can. They were fleeing the scene. They said it was a public safety concern. There's no accounts that this person had a gun or was attacking anybody else. And four shots went through the windshield. We've seen pictures of that. So to say that the vehicle was struck when this person was shot in the head through the windshield, it's just unconscionable. This does not sound like any kind of protocol that any of our other public safety officers would be allowed to do. And what we've seen time after time is that ICE follows no traditional procedures. We've learned that there are no body cameras on this individual.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't understand life, man. I, I don't understand, like, why there's always a lack of consistency with things. Because I remember early in the year when there was massive uproar and backlash over ICE and ICE related shootings. I Didn't even hear about this story until literally just now. This is my first time even here.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, first time I heard about it too.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah, There are protests. There were protests all day yesterday, all last night in Maine. Maine's attorney general, their office as the FBI and Homeland Security, they are all investigating the agent who fired the shots. He's been placed on administrative leave, which is standard protocol. But yes, a very, very sad situation, you know, for someone to be leaving work at 7am on their way to work and basically be the target, the wrong target of an ICE shooting. The second one in a week. We know there was another one last week in Texas.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I didn't even know. I didn't hear about that one either. But I do remember early this when ICE was dominant, dominating the headlines and everybody was like, f ice. And it was like always a backlash against ICE and ICE related shooters. I didn't hear about either one of these.

[DJ Envy]

I think so many things happen in between that you kind of just forget it. The young man that that was found dead that nobody knows what happened. We've been on that. Then Lindsey Graham dying And then Mitch McConnell, they don't know what's going on with him. And the world is happening. And then this. And then Jay Z's performs in the Bronx and dancing festivals. Just everything that's going on, you just forget about the things that. That's most important.

[Mimi Brown]

Absolutely. So many different things are happening all at once. And switching gears.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He's crazy, Jess. He's a crazy guy, yo. I get what he meant though. Don't worry about it. I understand what he meant.

[Caller/Guest]

Damn.

[DJ Envy]

But everything's happening. A lot going on.

[Jessica (Jess)]

That's right. Envy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Get your pudding.

[Mimi Brown]

And switching gears really quickly. So for the the first time ever, women over 40, they are having more babies than teenagers.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah. So what you say? Sh.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I said all right. Now

[Jessica (Jess)]

getting it in. I know that's right.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah, they are getting. That's exactly what's happening. Experts say it's a sign of how much the timeline for starting a family has changed. So more women are waiting longer to have children, often to finish school, build careers and find financial stability or because of the cost of housing or just life has made, you know, things really, really hard. But the average age for a first time mom is now almost 28 compared to 21. That's what it was in the 1970s. And this trend is showing up across the country with some of the highest birth rates among women in their 40s in Washington, D.C. new Jersey and in New York. So having a baby after 40 is still less common, but the trend shows that, you know, that timeline of marriage, careers, and parenthood, it has shifted in America and the way that we see things now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I wonder if having babies over 40 is still considered high risk. I'm just on. With all the advancements in technology and things like that and people, you know, taking care of their health more, is it still considered high risk?

[Mimi Brown]

It is considered a geriatric pregnancy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn.

[DJ Envy]

Yes, it is.

[Mimi Brown]

And I hate that. I hate.

[Jessica (Jess)]

Now I gotta put geriatric on it like that.

[Mimi Brown]

Yes. It's sad that they even put that label on it, but. Yes, absolutely.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But I.

[Mimi Brown]

Honestly, having a baby over 40. Go ahead.

[Jessica (Jess)]

If you. If you take care of yourself, you can have a baby at any age. Like, I. I just feel like that's something that they tell us.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know about any.

[Jessica (Jess)]

Well, you know, if you take care of yourself, I believe that you can have a baby at any age. And I mean, like, well, you should

[Mimi Brown]

be, because a man can have a baby at any age. Right? So, yeah, we can

[Caller/Guest]

produce.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We can shoot somebody's club up at any age.

[Jessica (Jess)]

Right? Y' all can still put. Well, well, yeah, yeah.

[Mimi Brown]

But that's what I'm saying. Thank you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Usually in some. A woman a lot younger,

[Mimi Brown]

either way, it should be, you know, equal playing field. But here we are.

[Jessica (Jess)]

We are not as geriatric as they try to make us.

[Mimi Brown]

Exactly. Exactly. All right, y'. All. Well, that is your front page news. I'm Beme Brown for more stories. We talk about some of these stories on my podcast. Front page. And so please download wherever you get your podcast.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right. Let's go listen to Mimi Brown's front page news podcast on the Black Effect Podcast Network. Okay. Available everywhere you listen to podcast. She updates daily.

[DJ Envy]

That's right. All right, now, when we come back, Memphis Bleak will be joining us. We're gonna talk to Bleak next, so don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lonna Rose is here. We got a special guest in the building.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, indeed. We got Memphis Bleak.

[Memphis Bleak]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's up? Fresh off the. Standing on my feet tall.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I got Uggs on right now, and it's 90 degrees outside.

[Memphis Bleak]

Yo, I feel you. I need. They need to make some. Some cottons for the men.

[DJ Envy]

So out of all the whole concerts, because you've been to damn near all of them.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Where do you put this on the

[Memphis Bleak]

List this top, this definitely top three.

[DJ Envy]

And what's next?

[Memphis Bleak]

The first one, the night with me,

[Charlamagne Tha God]

that was the best night.

[Memphis Bleak]

It was definitely, definitely. Because that was, I feel like that was core core fans, like. And like I told Jay at the end of that show, it was like, yo, it's unbelievable to really think about it. Thirty years ago today, we prayed this will work. And here we are 30 years later. This is, this is the results of it worked.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Core core fans. And man, on Friday night, there was a story told. Like, it felt like watching a movie. Like you saw, like the origins story. Like, I didn't get that the other two nights I did for Saturday, but it was something else I realized about Saturday. Blueprint has always been overshadowed by 9 11.

[Memphis Bleak]

Definitely. And I think part two, like night two was more of a party night. Like, it was more of a vibe. The crowd.

[DJ Envy]

I was, I was in Virginia for night too, but I seen it on the stream. Shout out to It's Biscuit. It's Biscuit. Stream, the whole thing. I was able to watch it. But Friday night when I was there, it just seemed like hardcore whole fans, the ones that knew every word and just wanted to hear and listen. And, you know, I was upset about that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Crowd didn't know Audito.

[DJ Envy]

I know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But it didn't matter because the show was so good. It was like, even if you didn't know, you got familiar.

[DJ Envy]

Two things missing from, from the Friday night Foxy Inga Source Money.

[Memphis Bleak]

Yo, I heard through the grapevine. I don't know how true it is. This is what I heard. They said Fox was there and she got cold feet or something.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I wanted to, to see her, like, even if I just walk past her. I just wanted to see her in real life.

[Memphis Bleak]

Me too. I ain't seen nobody. I seen Gav.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Memphis Bleak]

Word up. Shout out Gav. But they said she was there.

[DJ Envy]

They kept teasing all day.

[Memphis Bleak]

That's what I heard. I don't know how true it is, but, you know, rumor has it.

[Jessica (Jess)]

Damn.

[DJ Envy]

Because that would have been a crazy one. What about Source?

[Memphis Bleak]

Oh, I, I, I heard they reached out the Source too. The line just wasn't, you know, returned. Damn, that. That was a major one. I wanted to see, I wanted to see the Jazzo Source J. Yeah. Back. Cause that's what it started with, you know. Of course we get the Dame Dash Biggs J. Bleak Bings that Rockefeller. But to me, the original rock was Source Jazz and J, man, like, I don't think it's no, no trio that can rap better than that three people right there, that's my top three.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Is it true? Dame called in the bomb threat on

[Jessica (Jess)]

Sunday,

[Memphis Bleak]

Got video posted when he got bum rushed on stage. Your damn. Your dam is hilarious, man.

[DJ Envy]

What does that mean for you? To see 30 years of reasonable Doubt where that was your start. That was your calling to the world.

[Memphis Bleak]

It's. It's. It's kind of surreal, bro, because I never imagined we could take it this far. You know what I'm saying? My whole thing back then was to get a couple dollars, you know, get a few outfits, some cars, maybe we chill a few summers. I ain't think 30 years later. Remember when reasonable doubt dropped? I was 18, bro.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's crazy.

[Memphis Bleak]

48, and we still doing it. That's why I even had to tell that to J. I don't think no other artists from my era, even before hip hop, can do what he did these three days. It's. It's. Name me another artist that can celebrate their first album released before the. The generation today wasn't even born when Reasonable Doubt dropped.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Maybe one.

[Jessica (Jess)]

Who?

[DJ Envy]

Snoop.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Snoop.

[Memphis Bleak]

Snoop, Snoop, Snoop. I give it. Yeah, yeah. Doggy style ain't gonna front.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Probably Snoop. He's probably the only one. Yeah. From that. From that era. He actually before y'. All.

[Memphis Bleak]

Yeah, yeah, Snoop. I give it to Snoop. But then who else? I was trying to think. I'm like, yo, who else can do this 30 years? Even in 40 or 20 years, some people can't even do a 20 year.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I said, not a venue that size.

[Memphis Bleak]

I could think of three nights in a row. And then you sell out blueprint and you let people know. This is. This is just the album. This is not like, yo, we playing around. We'll play a few songs. No, we're focusing solely on this project. I can't even do that. I can't be like, yo, we doing coming age only like, you know what? We out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You could do that. Urban Plaza.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I'm saying?

[Memphis Bleak]

Urban Plaza. Mossy day, you know what I'm saying?

[DJ Envy]

It was dope that he brought out. Nas, too. I thought that was dope. And the way he brought out Nas, because everybody expected Nas to do the hook, right? Nas wasn't there for the hook. The last hook. It went right into whose world. It was just the way they did that was just.

[Memphis Bleak]

I give JT number one transition from song to song at a show. It's insane that how he makes rhymes with songs, beats with songs.

[Caller/Listener]

It's.

[Memphis Bleak]

Yo, bro, I'm. I'm A fan still. And I always tell them, like, yo, you never seem to not amaze me, bro.

[State Farm Agent (Ad Voice)]

You.

[Memphis Bleak]

When I think what you gonna do next, you pull out something I wasn't even thinking about. Like the. The beat switches. This show is impeccable, man. Like, straight up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There was a couple moments out there, though. I was like, I know he out there by himself, but he need a bleak.

[Memphis Bleak]

He needs. Yeah. I mean, yo, man share that stage time, ho.

[DJ Envy]

Is he working on a new album? That. That was another rumor that that's possible.

[Memphis Bleak]

I. I don't know. I've been sending them records. Records. Upon records. Like the record I just dropped. No more. I sent it to him. That's why it came out too. Cause, you know, whole on everything. I sent them a record that's. Dang it. That hit me back and said, yo, this one of the dopest hooks I heard in a long time. Yo, listen, press that up. Next single. So that's how we dropped it. I thought he was gonna put a verse on it, but who knows? Goo got some goo tucking. We got to get the album. We gotta stick goo up.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Cause you said it first. And then Pharrell said it on stage that there's some music that Pharrell was

[Memphis Bleak]

talking that smoke, right? He said, I hope you kill all them. He kind of stopped talking like that. Cause he gonna get the suicide bombers thinking it's really war.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Do you think Reasonable DOC could even get made today? The music business changed too much.

[Memphis Bleak]

I think it could get made today. I believe so. Just like the Rakim albums. I believe they.

[Caller/Listener]

They.

[Memphis Bleak]

They stand the test of time. Because it speaks of not a time stamp, just a mentality. And I believe that mentality is gonna live forever. And it's a hustler, like everybody trying to find a way to turn one into two and two into four. You know what I mean? To change their circumstances so. So reasonable doubt can drop any day. The day Hustle or die or where a person that hustle want to get make better, then that's when reasonable doubt don't exist no more. And I don't think that's ever gonna happen.

[DJ Envy]

Y' all gotta change with the times. Because if you really think about it, right? When Jay's rapping on Friday, it was really every bit of four or five minutes of record.

[Memphis Bleak]

No, that's.

[DJ Envy]

Nowadays, it's two minutes, right? Artists come on stage, you're done in 24 minutes.

[Memphis Bleak]

It was every bit of five minutes. He even gave you the outro lines and everything that. Yo, I was Saying that workout game is, that's crazy. Cause first of all, to do one show by yourself, no hype, man, let alone three for three hours. And it ain't like, you know, you. You DJ shows. We all been to a bunch of shows. Just take that break after that record. Get some water. Let's go. 15 records back to back. And then he let somebody else get a shine for his break. But I can't. I don't know. I gotta find out who his new trainer is. Word up, because that's. It's.

[Caller/Listener]

Is.

[Memphis Bleak]

Is impressive.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why do you think RD keeps aging? Aging, like, just better than a lot of things. Instead of feeling dated, like I said,

[Memphis Bleak]

it's the hustle mentality of it. Like, it's. It's just the hunger. Like, the seat. Like, Jay is the epitome of going from denial to undeniable. You know what I mean? Like, think about it. When they were shopping Reasonable Doubt or anything before, they was looking at Jay like, ain't no way. You're not that guy. Get out of here. And then to take over, it's like every. I don't even want to say, child. Every human being want to do that, bro. Come back that defiant, like, oh, we all dream of that. Like, I know y' all want to come by Aha. One day. You know what I'm saying? It's a dream. Like, who knows? And to be able to accomplish that, that's it, bro.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I saw him talk about that when he did a GQ interview, and I was wondering, like, during that time, what was his attitude like? Because it seems like he's was always unfazed. So when people wasn't really fooling with Reasonable Doubt, like, how was he receiving it?

[Memphis Bleak]

It's hard to. When you come in the game a millionaire, I guess feelings don't. You don't show them. Like, you don't wear them on your sleeve like the average guy. Like, we tell you, I came in this game 900 strong.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Memphis Bleak]

Yeah. You wanted the music to pop and everybody to rock with you. But I don't think it mattered because, remember, he wanted to retire after the first album. You knew that was the whole goal of Rock Rockefeller. We dropping one album, and we. We retiring. That's it. It's over. We going with source money. We had some girl. What Rough ends or roughness. We had Chris John. That was the whole focus. So Jay doing 12 and 14 albums, that's a new script. So it's just amazing, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Imagine what hip hop would have been like if he would have only did that one, followed through with that, I'd

[Memphis Bleak]

have been the best, you know what I'm saying?

[DJ Envy]

Is it odd to see people that y' all were in war with at the show supporting, like, the whole thing, like, whether it was Terror Squad or it was Nas and them or whoever it may be, because there was so many people in the stands. Is that odd to see those people like yo at war with? But now it's fam.

[Memphis Bleak]

You know, when we were young, all we knew was protect your own. That's it. Represent your crew, represent your what part of the city you from. Everybody else, it's just solely about us. And I feel like if we gonna teach, preach the message of keep hip hop is together, one big community. We got to be like, more like the south everybody got in New York. It's too much drama. I actually love that we able to bury the hatchet down, become family more than just friends. Because Fat Joe, that's my dog, like me and Joe, he was driving through the city the other day and saw me stand in front the hotel with my wife. Wife pulled the car over and everything. He'd have never did that. He'd have probably tried to hit me with the car. Yeah, absolutely. Back then, feel me? I'd have to jump out the way like, oh, we gotta kill Joe now, right? So I love it. Because what better way to show the gender, the you the ones coming after us that is possible than the lead by example? It's no better way.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't think people know this generation that Nas started because of you.

[Memphis Bleak]

Yeah, yeah. Yo, that's why I want to get Knives on the podcast. Because me and Nori said one day, right, he was like, yo, imagine you sit down, you get a chance to ask Nas and be like, yo, that line let a slug melt in your hat. Was that about you? And he say no. He's like, yo, what would you do? What would you do? I'm like, yo, you know, I never thought about that. He'd be like, that mean. You started the biggest war for nothing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

For nothing.

[Memphis Bleak]

So I. I really want to ask now, yo fan was you to imagine he do say no, though.

[Jessica (Jess)]

Nah.

[Memphis Bleak]

Cause, you know, it's not that set.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But why did you think that line was about you?

[Mimi Brown]

Just because you.

[Caller/Listener]

You.

[Memphis Bleak]

Because the hood gas me up. I was wearing hats like, you know, they was like, yeah, he talking about you. So I said, gotta be true. So we. I never got to the bottom of it.

[DJ Envy]

I.

[Memphis Bleak]

That's the effect of put the major battery in my back so then you

[Charlamagne Tha God]

replied with my life. Your lifestyle's written. Who you supposed to be? Play your position.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah.

[Memphis Bleak]

And then it was. It was Smokey Robinson after that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Then he came knock. Nas came with the what?

[Memphis Bleak]

Shoot through three beans? Yeah, yeah. Up the freeway tried to kill all of us.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah.

[Memphis Bleak]

He was on some.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And so that when Jay goes, nah, all right, stand down.

[Memphis Bleak]

Yeah. Jay was like, we got this. And then take over. They high night.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Memphis Bleak]

And they was. Yo, I heard some Queen stories, man. Nas was foul.

[DJ Envy]

What you mean?

[Memphis Bleak]

Nas was trying to recruit.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, yeah, Nas Even what he was gonna do for Summer Jam. Like, that video just came out recently where they showed about the lynch hole when they had the prosthetic face of Jay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I want to hear this, Street.

[Memphis Bleak]

Nas had a secret meeting recruiting who ain't even get dissed. It was telling, yo, they dissed you. He was on the Marcy. What they did to me, he was trying to do to a couple queens, so. But I'm glad it ain't work out. No, they was like, you know, I mean, I don't think so. Had they. They was like, n. You capping fuck.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But clearly. Clearly those two factions, y' all wanted to get at each other because if it wasn't nothing, somebody would just be like, yo, that wasn't nothing.

[DJ Envy]

Like, yeah, but.

[Memphis Bleak]

Nah, I never. Yo, bro, I never wanted to get at nobody in this game but bank of America. I never looked at no rap on TV or his album and felt like, man, I'm gonna come at that. I'm coming for his spot.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I.

[Memphis Bleak]

They didn't matter to me. It was like, you just can't with me. Were you gonna make room for me or you gonna move out the way? But I never wanted to beef with anybody like Nas and them was the guys. Mob, Deep, the recipes, Prodigy. Like, they was the guys they dropped before us. That's 94. We came out 96. So they set the tone in NYC between Big Nas, Wu Tang. Come on, bro. We didn't. I don't think we was coming up in the game, like, yeah, we gonna gun at all these. We was hoping it could be what it is today, right? Everybody cool. But, you know, that New York energy back then, bro, it was inevitable. It's. It's not, isn't. It just wasn't gonna happen.

[DJ Envy]

Now, what about Takeover, Right? I understand why he doesn't do it, but it's still.

[Memphis Bleak]

Nah, you can't perform that. It's on the album.

[DJ Envy]

It's a single.

[Memphis Bleak]

Yeah, but still, you can't probably Passed away.

[DJ Envy]

Like, take those parts out. But it's just so. It's.

[State Farm Agent (Ad Voice)]

You can't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You can't.

[Memphis Bleak]

Just out of respect. Just out of respect, bro. You can't do that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No.

[Memphis Bleak]

Like, that's like. I'm still member Grammy Queens. It's history.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

See what I'm saying?

[Memphis Bleak]

No, but it's history.

[DJ Envy]

No, it's not a freestyle.

[Memphis Bleak]

That was part of. I still want to hear the freestyle. When he remember he was going out. That was a little too far. At the. At the Apollo. Not that one. When. Before Pac passed away, Jay had a show at the Apollo with Biggie and he premiered a diss over the Tracy Lee beat where he was rhyming at them. I rock from the Dre Day to the Sug not right. Yo, bro, I've been looking for this song forever.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Tracy Lee beat.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The party.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah.

[Memphis Bleak]

This. That's how long ago. But then the news of Pac passing happened, and he never released the record because he had a freestyle going. You know what I mean?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wherever my crew goes, you can't just pack over that. You need something? It was crazy, bro.

[Memphis Bleak]

You listen to that beat. That's one of the hardest beats. Yeah. You don't. Don't do that. Delete.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I just remember me being a party record.

[Memphis Bleak]

He made it a party. But that beat was one of the grimiest beats back then.

[DJ Envy]

I try to find that now.

[Memphis Bleak]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Who would have that?

[Lauren LaRosa]

What you gonna do?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I heard Clock Kid. God bless you. That. I heard Clark talk about that.

[Memphis Bleak]

Yeah. No, that was Now. That was one of those records. I was like, oh. So Jay always been on that. He gonna respect. Like, he ain't gonna never disrespect the dad. Or if it just don't feel right in line with the spirit. It ain't gonna. It ain't gonna go, though. But let's get to you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hold on. You remember the lyrics from that record?

[Memphis Bleak]

Just that one. I rock from the Dre Day to the Suge Knight. Because that was like, oh, Smokey, what I do?

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah.

[Memphis Bleak]

They said you was a double agent. I want to know why, how, who?

[Jessica (Jess)]

Who?

[Memphis Bleak]

Your superior. I gotta go talk to him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Desiree Perez is my supervisor.

[Memphis Bleak]

I can't get in there. You good? You protected by Geico.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I can't D. When yo was up here, Yayo's thing had. What does he say?

[Lauren LaRosa]

That Jay Z don't help nobody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Jay Z don't help nobody.

[Caller/Listener]

Yo.

[Memphis Bleak]

Say 401k records. It's called hold it down, homie. Drop some heat, Ain't paying your Bills. Cuz that's what it is. Can't compete. That's why they talk like that. That if 50 said one year these are being a shelter. They shouldn't be allowed to talk about us or anybody when you literally are a dependent. That is insane to me, man. Like give away their jury without they balls.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn.

[Memphis Bleak]

Show me a picture of yeah, you're walking around with his chain, the passport chain without 50 cent there but ain't taking care. Cause you goddamn right. Then we take care of ourselves.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think I heard Yale say that you and which is crazy. You say you J's friendship is just more was more business. I've never seen it.

[Memphis Bleak]

Well him and 50 friendship is just financial.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, 40.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Both 48.

[DJ Envy]

Going back and forth each other sounds crazy.

[Memphis Bleak]

Yo. But I'm just saying it's like yo, what you you want me to be? Yo, Jay look out for me. I dropped bombs. We just. We got a new song out right now, right? No more produced by Cool and Dre. Moving and the last Yellow Wreck.

[Caller/Listener]

I don't know.

[Memphis Bleak]

He's a dependent. You of course he viewed life through look out for me. I never looked at. Come on. Jay raised bosses, man. He don't raise dependent.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He said Jay Z doesn't support me bleak. The way 50 Cent looks out for him, that was.

[Caller/Guest]

But how.

[Memphis Bleak]

Where's his records? Where's his businesses? Where's his hot. Do he even have a hot. Wait, let me ask a question.

[DJ Envy]

He does do this have children?

[Memphis Bleak]

I don't know because when do he travel with his friend? Do we do. When is family time? I don't want to hit his 50 cent. Jay Z. My wife right here. We just came from Paris rocking the chateau. My daughter was in there was in the room Leonardo da Vinci built. You know what I'm saying? Hey, my son just was at night one reasonable doubt. Where's these kids? And you talking about somebody taking care of you. Who are you taking care of, man? Like yo, we 50 and you still want to take care of you is insane to me and the fans online think this is right. Arguing it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Memphis Bleak]

Jay don't look out for Bleak. He's not supposed to. I have a job. I get paid well. How do you get a check and say, yo, I need a check.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But tell them your job though.

[Memphis Bleak]

I'm a boss.

That's what we wanted you to say.

[Memphis Bleak]

That's right. On Black Effect. I heart drink champs. Like what more you want me to do? I know what I'mma do. I'mma start a daycare center for. For senior citizens rappers since they want to be dependent and want people to look out for them. But only thing, they gotta let me put life insurance on them. So if they die, we cash it

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[Memphis Bleak]

Straight up.

[DJ Envy]

Before you leave, you know, I wanted to ask if Jay has beef, do you have beef?

[Memphis Bleak]

No, because if I got beef.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nope.

[Memphis Bleak]

He daddy the beef without knob with knives ain't tell me nothing. I ain't agree to that.

[Jessica (Jess)]

Now.

[Memphis Bleak]

I wanted that beef to keep going. Show when they came out with the army fatigue. I ain't no knives was there. That was the major setup.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Bro.

[Memphis Bleak]

Bro.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, because it was called the I declare war concert.

[Memphis Bleak]

And then we dated the beef.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You didn't know what was going on.

[Memphis Bleak]

This is why the blog is getting at us. You just. You just answered it. We declared war. And then daddy the drama like, oh, they. They vulnerable. Let's get them.

[Caller/Listener]

Nah.

[Memphis Bleak]

[DJ Envy]

The reason I asked, so you know we see Dame taking shots at. At Jay all the time, right? Do you still say, you know what? I don't care. I'm gonna put him on my podcast. We chop it up.

[Memphis Bleak]

Hell no, I can't do that. You just said his beef is his beef. But no, they ain't be getting that. But that's a different type of beef. That's not beef. That's. That's heartache and pain, dog. That's pain there. That's not beef, bro. That.

[Caller/Listener]

That's.

[Memphis Bleak]

That's. We were only. They can fix that. I was the little bro and I' ma stay the little bro in that situation. I'm not gonna overstep my boundaries and try to be something in that situation. I can't and wasn't. So with that, I leave alone. Everybody else walk. Tread lightly, man. We don't ignore everything. And it's. It's some things is okay, but when we see you have that energy. But that's the problem. We don't see these guys eyes. And last time I seen Yayo. We was in la. Was nervous for me wearing my jury. But Jay don't look out for me. I ain't even at, yo. Certain things I don't bring up, I don't talk about because they personal conversations. But he know in his heart, looking me in my eye. He know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He said he was nervous for you wearing your jewelry.

[Memphis Bleak]

Yeah, he told me I was bugging in la. Said, yo, you got on the chain in la, you bugging again. So what? I wear my chain everywhere. You told him, I don't care if I was in the coffin. My jury gonna be on me. Like I said, nah. Your name is Jury.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You know. One thing I had to unlearn was treating my textured hair like everybody else's. For years I followed all of the popular advice, tried the trends and used products that worked for other other people. But my hair was still dry, it was breaking and it just wasn't retaining any length. Not the length I wanted anyway. It was so frustrating because I felt like I was doing everything right but still not seeing any results. Everything changed when I realized my hair needed products made specifically for textured hair. That's why I love Baskin Lather. I've been especially enjoying the stimulating scalp and hair balm because it helps me nourish and hydrate my hair without feeling like it's greasy. It's made with 100% natural ingredients, helps reduce breakage, adds shine and supports healthier looking hair over time. I also love the hydrating hair mist which helps keep my soft hair moisturized and helps fight dryness and frizz. And I love the story behind the brand. Baskin Lather is a black owned and family operated company created by founder Shayna and her mother when they developed their own hair care line solutions when a younger sister was told that her hair may never grow back. Today her hair reaches down to her hips, honey. Looking at the before and the after results on the site, it's easy to see why so many people swear by these products. Explore viral bestsellers and products of healthier hair of all types From Baskin lather go to baskinlatherco.com and use Cold Breakfast Club for 20 off.

[DJ Envy]

[Jessica (Jess)]

Period. Period.

[Caller/Guest]

Period.

[Jessica (Jess)]

So we got some Daytime Emmy nominations, and the nominations were announced yesterday for Emmy standouts. We got outstanding Daytime Talk Series, the View, the Drew Barry Moore show, the Kelly Clarkson show. You know, all the. All the whites.

[Caller/Guest]

Right?

[Jessica (Jess)]

But this is a big story because Outstanding Daytime Talk series Hope. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I know, but I ain't named the rest of the whites. But outstanding Daytime Talk Series host. This is big because Sherri shepherd was nominated, and I think that's dope. She was nominated amongst my girl, Tamron Hall, Jennifer Hudson, Joy, Whoopi, Alyssa, Sarah, Sunny, and Anna, of course, Kelly Clarkson as well. But I really, really love that Sherri shepherd was nominated because our show was just canceled. And I actually ran into Sher over the weekend. She was. I was on my way to Riley. She was on her way to Atlanta, and I talked to her about her show being canceled and everything, and. And she was like, it was bittersweet. But she really, really loved her show, and she does miss doing it. And I think. I think her being nominated is like a cherry on top, yo. Cuz. She wasn't happy that her show got cancelled, and she posted this caption to Instagram yesterday when she found out. Somebody please tell me this is not a prank. Daytime Emmy nomination for outstanding Talk Show Host. Thank you. Thank you to my amazing team and our viewers. Y' all did this. I'm just the loud one now. If you need me, I'll be floating 2 inches off the ground. So drop a clues bomb for Sherry shepherd on the Sherry Show.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's what's up. Sherry's been. I mean, the Sherry shepherd show has been nominated before. She's also won one. She won one when she was on the View back in the day for outstanding daytime Outstanding talk, Outstanding Talk Show Host. So salute to Sherry. She's had a very long, prosperous daytime talk show career.

[Jessica (Jess)]

Absolutely, absolutely. And she got a podcast with Kim Whitley, I believe. Yeah, yeah. Kim, Willie. Yeah. So y' all can go and listen to those lazy ladies up on that podcast. Moving on. So Boosie paid $600,000 for Trump to pardon him, and he is suing because he didn't get it. So yesterday, Boosie gave us a warning about a big lawsuit he put posted. My new lawsuit in court will be national news tomorrow. So on New Year's Day, Boosie bettas Received a call from his lawyers saying that he'd been given a second chance. Two men who boosie paid $600,000 to about three months earlier. They said in a phone call with his lawyer that they secured a pardon, a pardon for him signed by President Donald Trump. It would have wiped away his federal rap sheet and saved him from sentencing, a sentencing hearing for possessing a firearm as a felon. But it never happened.

[DJ Envy]

Twitter.

[Jessica (Jess)]

And of course, he. He went in and said, jack, shut your lion ass up. Talking about this stuff in Houston messed up the pardon. You were sued in March. This happened at the end of May. Don't start lying now. I gave you three months to send my money back. Talking about Trump signed the pardon. Got me running around the damn house. Job happen. Saying, you just talked to the president. You played with the wrong one. I'm suing y' all in federal court now. Ponzi scheme. Out of the nine victims y' all got this year, I was the wrong one. So basically, they said they're not gonna give him his money back because he breached the contract. He. They were saying that because he got into some other stuff. He didn't. Basically, he. Basically, it was a contract that they had in place, and they feel like they shouldn't give him back his money because he breached the contract, because there was some other stuff going on here, got into some other trouble or whatever.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So a president charging for pardons is illegal. Right. But there's always been these rumors. There's always been the rumors that Donald Trump or the Trump administration. People in his administration personally charge for pardons. We've heard numbers from $1 million to $2 million.

[DJ Envy]

600 seemed low.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

600 seems very low. Unless that was just a down payment.

[Caller/Listener]

Let's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Boosie was making payments on the part, maybe. Okay. But that 600,000 sounded very low. But that's. That has always been a rumor.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That he's charges for part.

[DJ Envy]

They said it was in the millions, though. That's what I heard.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It started at 2 million. That's what the streets were saying.

[Jessica (Jess)]

But he got this from his team, like, you know, like his lawyers. And he also said, this is last week. Everyone you said reached out. Everyone you said you reached out to for my pardon has said you're lying. Every name you named has denied your allegations. Everybody you named will have they time to speak. Week is getting hot. So where did the money go? I thought Trump signed the pardon. I thought you had the president on speed dial. You should have did your research before trying to jack me like you did the others. I'm loved and respected. So he definitely coming for his money, but I don't know if he gonna get it.

[DJ Envy]

All right, well.

[Jessica (Jess)]

Yep. And that is the latest with Lauren filled in by Jess.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, definitely. But I mean, the one thing that this lawsuit does prove is that there is some individuals out there. There, right. Are. Are some Trump linked lobbying firms that are charging people for presidential. And that's been the rumor for a long time.

[Caller/Listener]

Yep.

[DJ Envy]

All right, well, thank you.

[Caller/Listener]

So.

[Jessica (Jess)]

Well, like, it's not really him. It's people that's, like, doing this on his behalf.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, behalf. But there's people, there's individuals, and there's like, they call them a Trump linked lobbying firms, and those individuals are the ones that have been reportedly doing this whole whole, you know, pay to play thing when it comes to getting a presidential party.

[Jessica (Jess)]

Oh, so this is not just happened.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, yeah. So they'll go to the White House and. And. And lobby for clemency. Basically.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. And allegedly there's been people that's been locked up and got long periods of time.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yep.

[DJ Envy]

That only served a couple of months in home because they paid for the cause. Trump partner.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's been a rumor for a long time.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Jessica (Jess)]

Damn.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And something like this, this lawsuit, Something like this let you know that that something is going on. Yeah, somebody's doing something.

[DJ Envy]

All right, well, Charlemagne, who you giving your donkey to?

[Jessica (Jess)]

Speaking of. Nah, we got to do the top dog law. Y' all like his boo.

[DJ Envy]

That's next hour. That's next hour.

[Jessica (Jess)]

Oh, my bad, my bad.

[DJ Envy]

That's next hour. Who you giving your donkey to? Sh.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Man. Four after the hour, man. There is a woman named Kedra Davis. She needs to come to the front of the congregation. We like to have a word with her boy, but, you know, the congregation can't do nothing for her. Her at this point.

[DJ Envy]

Okay, we'll get to that. Next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's time for Donkey of the Day.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There's a bunch of donkeys out here in these streets.

[Memphis Bleak]

I make Donkey of the Day called

[DJ Envy]

Donkey of the Day.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It really caught me off guard. We live a life where we bite our tongue based off who we may offend. We never say Charlemagne.

[State Farm Agent (Ad Voice)]

Give it to him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I want to go back to playing my old intros. Are a donkey.

[Jessica (Jess)]

That is why Charlemagne is here.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Don't look at me like that, man. Some dog donkey today just saw themselves on the Breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

Okay, Charlemagne, who you giving Donkey of

[Charlamagne Tha God]

the Day to today? Why you look at me like that when I say I want to play my old intros.

[DJ Envy]

I don't know, you know why you can't. Why Netflix.

[Jessica (Jess)]

I agree.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But I, I love your old intros though.

[Jessica (Jess)]

They fire.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I want my old intros, please. Now don't. Here Today for Tuesday, July 14th goes to a 29 year old mobile, Alabama woman named Kedra Davis.

[DJ Envy]

I sweat. I'm sorry.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Shut up. Kedra Davis is one of the reasons that I love people in but I just don't trust people, okay? Because you just don't know what people beyond. So it impacts your peopling skills because when we out in the world peopling, it's possible to run into folks like Kenidra Davis and this is what none of us want for our lives. Okay? Kenidra Davis is in jail, ladies and gentlemen, and she needs to be there for the rest of her natural born life because allegedly on Friday she decided to take the life of a 23 year old mother of 22 who was also pregnant at the time of her death. Okay? A woman named China Hickman. Rest in peace. To China Hickman. Man. Sending healing energy to China Hickman's family. Now what could a pregnant mother of two have done to Kedra Davis for Kedra to murder her? Let's go to NBC15 for the report, please.

[News Reporter]

A young Mobile mother who was pregnant with her third child was shot and killed at her Ziegler Boulevard home Friday night. We say Kendria Davis murdered 23 year old China Hickman.

[Caller/Listener]

This is tragic and should never have happened.

[News Reporter]

Hickman's brother says the dispute stemmed from a $15 deposit. Davis wanted refunded for a lash appointment on the day she died. Hickman offered a $20 lash special on social media and encouraged interested customers to send her a direct message to book an appointment. Her brother says Hickman was very busy on Friday and believes she was running late.

[Memphis Bleak]

It's absolutely ridiculous, frankly.

[State Farm Agent (Ad Voice)]

It's horrible.

[Caller/Listener]

Horrible that a dispute of any kind

[Memphis Bleak]

could lead to a murder, much less

[Caller/Listener]

a murder of two people. And so my heart goes out to the victim's family. This is tragic and should never have happened.

[News Reporter]

Mobile County District attorney Keith Blackwood says Davis charge has now been upgraded from murder to capital murder, alleging she killed both Hickman and her unborn child.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

$15. A $15 deposit she wanted refunded for a lash appointment led to murder. You still want to play a game against what race it is? Okay, let's discuss your uncle Charlotte tells y' all all the time to do your jail math. Okay? You have to stop, pause, breathe, and ask yourself, is what. Is what you are about to do worth the time and money you're gonna have to spend? Okay, Kenidra, there is no jail mathematical equation where you get to do this, where any of this makes sense. Okay? Wanting a $15 refund for a lash appointment and not getting it should not trigger you to pull the trigger. Okay? This young lady, China Hickman, was out here trying to make an honest living. You heard in the news report the day she died, she advertised a 20 last special on social media and encouraged interested customers to send her a DM to book an appointment. Her brother says she feels like China was busy that day and believed she was running behind on appointments. And I guess that's what led to the issue. I don't care if she was running behind on appointments. Nobody should be dead over the 15 lashes. And this is why people is so hard. Because anything involving people can sadly lead to situations like this, because you never know when someone's crazy can be activated and what could activate it. Okay, I really want to know what the Abolished prison crowd thinks of a story like this, because I can't think of a place for Kedra to be other than prison. Okay, well, hell, according to scripture, that's more than likely next. And this isn't her first brush with the law. She's faced charges and including harassment, reckless endangerment, criminal mischief, and disorderly conduct. In March, she was charged with four counts of harassment for allegedly throwing glass plates at children ages 9, 8, 7, and 5. And because of those pending charges, the judge denied her bond yesterday morning. Nah, judge, it's not just the previous charges. Even if she didn't have those previous charges, she should never get the opportunity to live amongst us. Everett in. Okay, it's over, all right? Her people into the free human days are done, and rightfully so. Everyday disagreements should not lead to something irreversible, like a person being dead. Okay, China is dead, all right? The baby in her stomach is dead, and her two kids are without a mother because she couldn't get her, because she couldn't install some lashes. Like, what are we talking about here? All right, if you can't handle a 15 disagreement. What the hell was that?

[DJ Envy]

Just fell.

[Caller/Listener]

Oh.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If you can't handle a 15 disagreement without violence, the real debt isn't financial. It's emotional. Okay? Learn to regulate your emotions before your emotions cause the prison system to be regulating the rest of your life. Please let Remy Ma give Kenidra Davis the biggest he haw.

[Jessica (Jess)]

He Hate you stupid.

[DJ Envy]

Are you dumb? All right, well, thank you for that donkey today, Jess. You all right,

[Memphis Bleak]

man?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now, I want to know how long. How long her eyelashes are. Like, I want to know how long she be getting her eyelashes, because I have a theory. I don't trust anyone with eyelashes over 13 mm. Because why? You know what I'm saying? Like, why? It just makes me uncomfortable. I truly feel like extremely long eyelashes are the signs of a potential murderer, because you walking around here with eyelashes like Mr. Snuffleupagus, and we supposed to be comfortable in your presence. I don't trust nobody with eyelashes like an anime character. Not at all. Not even a little bit.

[DJ Envy]

All right, well, thank you for the donkey today, sir.

[Jessica (Jess)]

Now, God, mine is only 11 mm.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You right there.

[DJ Envy]

Pretty close.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Real close.

[DJ Envy]

Pretty close.

[Jessica (Jess)]

No, my is no 11 mm.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Look, you're real close.

[DJ Envy]

All right?

[Jessica (Jess)]

I think that when they real, real, real long, they've like, for the. The drag queen ones be the ones that the drag queens weigh on the stages and stuff.

[DJ Envy]

All right, well, let's open up the phone lines. Salute to Memphis Bleak who stopped through earlier. I talked to Memphis Bleak about his loyalty to HOV and past beefs, and this is what he said.

[Memphis Bleak]

Oh, what?

[DJ Envy]

You know, I wanted to ask if Jay has beef, do you have beef?

[Memphis Bleak]

No. Because if I got beef.

[DJ Envy]

So that is the question. 800-5851.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There's no context to it, I guess.

[DJ Envy]

I guess they just cut that part off. But 800-585-1051, we're asking, does being a loyal friend, meaning adopting all of your friends, beefs? That is the question.

[Jessica (Jess)]

Damn.

[DJ Envy]

800-585-1051. That is the question. All right, we'll talk about it when we come back, and we'll take your call. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's topic time.

[Memphis Bleak]

Call 800-585-1-051 to join into the discussion

[Charlamagne Tha God]

with the Breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us, this conversation comes from Memphis Bleak, who was here last hour, and we were talking about if his beef is Jay's beef. His beef.

[Caller/Listener]

Beef.

[DJ Envy]

If Jay has beef, do you have beef?

[Memphis Bleak]

No, cuz if I got beef.

[DJ Envy]

Got beef. The reason I asked. So, you know, we see Dame taking shots at. At Jay all the time, right? Do you still say, you know what? I don't care. I'm gonna put him on my podcast? We chop it up.

[Memphis Bleak]

Hell no, I can't do that. You just said his beef is his beef. But no, they ain't be getting that too, though.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Not no more, though.

[Memphis Bleak]

But that's a different type of beef. That's not beef. That's. That's heartache and pain, dog. That's pain there. That's not beef, bro. That's.

[Caller/Listener]

That's.

[Memphis Bleak]

That's. We were only. They can fix that. I was the little bro, and I'mma stay the little bro in that situation. I'm not gonna overstep my boundaries and try to be something. In that situation, I can't and wasn't. So with that, I leave alone.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So technically, he's right. I mean, what he said. What he said, he said is Jay's beef is no. So, yeah, he's right.

[DJ Envy]

He said Jay's beef.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, Jay's beef's not his beef. So he just gave an explanation. So he gave an example.

[DJ Envy]

So the question is, does being a loyal friend, meaning adopting all your friends beefs. That is the question. 800-585-1051. My answer to that is is is no as well. But it's not no because that's not where my loyalties lie. It's no because I've seen what people have done to me.

[Caller/Guest]

Right?

[DJ Envy]

Perfect example. Shout out to DJ Clue. I grew up with Clue. We lived across the street each other from years.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let Clue win. Let Clue win.

[DJ Envy]

I didn't jump into clues beef so many times. I remember when he was.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I know you did.

[DJ Envy]

When he was beefing with North Nori.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right?

[DJ Envy]

Me and Nori didn't speak for a while when he was beefing with Flex. That's a. A local DJ up here. I jumped into that beef. And then when I had beef and I had problems I didn't see include the next day, you know, chilling at the person's house. I didn't see Clue. And this wasn't like light beef. This is people talking about people's families and stuff like that. So what I realized is everybody is not like you. What your loyalty is or how you are and how you were raised and how you are as a person does not. That does not mean that person feels or is the same way. So jumping into somebody's beef, just mind your business. If it ain't my. If it ain't Ghia, Madison, Logan, Jackson, London, Brooklyn, or Peyton, you on your own. Because I see how people's loyalties are. People's loyalties change when they need it to be. There's no loyalty. There's no friendship. There's no friend group. People don't ride with each other. They only ride with each other until they feel comfortable doing so. I realize.

[Memphis Bleak]

I agree with.

[DJ Envy]

I agree with bleak.

[Caller/Listener]

Nah.

[DJ Envy]

Nope. What do you think, Jess?

[Jessica (Jess)]

So I To piggyback what you said a little bit. I do, I do agree with that. But I honestly, I don't expect for people to beef with people, beef with everybody that I beef with because my beef with them may be petty. You know what I mean? And vice versa. Like, it. It may be. It just depends on the severity of the situation. Like, if you did some foul ish. And it's like, yeah, it's something that you can never come back from. Yeah. I expect people around me to not f. With you either because you did something to cause some damage, some permanent damage. Like what you did could we. Is irreconcilable. So it's like, nah. But if it's just something petty. Nah, I really don't ex. I don't expect for people to ride with me with that type. I mean, you know. Yeah, I don't expect for people to ride with every. Every beef because it's unnecessary. And I don't in turn beef with everybody that my friends beef with either. I don't. Especially if I've had a relationship with the people prior. Now, if anything, I'll try to be the mediator. Like, look, yo, y' all need to sit down because this is just petty. Like you said, she handle shower curtain. She do now or whatever.

[Caller/Guest]

Just something.

[Jessica (Jess)]

Something petty. You know what I mean? It just depends.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I mean, but there's a nuance to everything. Like, it's not as simple as if you got beef, I got beef. Because number one, why are y' all beefing? Okay? When you tell me you got an issue with someone, my thing is, why aren't you trying to fix it? And if it. If it's a severe issue with a person and you know it can't be fixed, I appreciate you letting me know. Right. Because then I might have to start making some decisions about said individual as well, depending on, you know what it is. Now. If I got a beef with a person and it's some like it's something severe, and the beast. The beefs I have ain't gonna lead to no violence or anything like that. I'm just not gonna rock with you no more. I'm just gonna cut you off. So if I. If I. If I gotta cut you off, if you, like, like somebody super duper close to me, like, super, super close. Like. Like I can only think of, like, a couple of people like that. Then, yes, I expect you to cut that individual off too.

[DJ Envy]

Right, well, let's go to the phone lines. We have Courtney on the line. Courtney, good morning.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Now, does being a loyal friend mean adopting all of your friends beefs?

[Jessica (Jess)]

No, I don't think so.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But I do think you should have

[Jessica (Jess)]

some loyalty, though, like hanging out with the person that your friend got beef with. But no, you don't need to.

[Caller/Guest]

Don't just.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, no, I agree. I absolutely agree. Thank you. Hello? Who's this?

[Caller/Listener]

Yo, DJ Envy, this is Nick from Columbia, South Carolina. How you doing, sir?

[DJ Envy]

Nick, what's going on? Talk to us. What's your thoughts?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

803, what's happening?

[Caller/Listener]

Yes, sir, Mr. Charlemagne, the guy. Basically, I feel like this, man, somebody else's beef is not my beef. I'm a father of four, so I get it. When people have stuff to say, that's fine, but you can talk to your blue in the face. I ain't got nothing to do with that person's beef. If you ain't hurting my kid or my ex spouse, I don't care.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, I have a whole life to

[Caller/Listener]

make for my family. You know what I'm saying? Like, all that extra stuff can go to the wayside. I ain't got nothing to do with that. You ain't hurting me. Blah, blah, blah. You know what I mean? But I appreciate y'.

[Caller/Guest]

All.

[Caller/Listener]

Breakfast Club Charlemagne, DJ Envy, just hilarious. Pleasure talking to y'.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All.

[Caller/Listener]

Y' all have a blessed day.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, sir.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you.

[Jessica (Jess)]

Love you too.

[DJ Envy]

Now, if you're just joining us, we're asking a question that came from the Bleak interview. Now, we were talking to Bleak about Jay's beefs, and we said this. Jay beefs equal his beef. And this is what he said. Said, oh, what? You know, I wanted to ask, if Jay has beef, do you have beef?

[Memphis Bleak]

No, cuz if I got beef, the reason I asked.

[DJ Envy]

So, you know, we see Dame taking shots at. At Jay all the time. Right? Do you still say, you know what? I don't care. I'm gonna put him on my podcast. We chop it up.

[Memphis Bleak]

Hell no, I can't do that. You just said his beef is his beef. But no, they ain't be getting that too, though.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Not no more, though.

[Memphis Bleak]

But that's a different type of beef. That's not beef.

[DJ Envy]

That's.

[Memphis Bleak]

That's heartache and pain, dog. That's pain there. That's not beef, bro. That's. That's. We were only. They can Fix that. I was the little bro, and I' ma stay the little bro in that situation. I'm not gonna overstep my boundaries and try to be something in that situation, I can't and wasn't. So with that, I leave alone.

[DJ Envy]

So the question is 800-585-1051. Does being a loyal friend mean adopting all of your friends, beef?

[Memphis Bleak]

Beefs.

[DJ Envy]

Hello. We got train the line. Trey, what's up?

[Caller/Listener]

What's happening? What's happening?

[DJ Envy]

Talk to us, Trey. What's your thoughts?

[Caller/Listener]

So y' all said that is having a loyal friend. Is being a loyal friend adopting all your friends, beef?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was the question, sir.

[Caller/Listener]

Question of the day.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, sir.

[Caller/Listener]

Honestly, like I said before, I don't feel like being a loyal friend is adopting all your friends, beef. If the beef is about something important, then of course, right behind your friend. But I feel like adopting all your friends, beef would just make you a yes man. You have to be a real friend and allow you and tell your friend when it's necessary to ignore some or just say it. I don't mean to curse it if we online, but we don't hear. But you got to know when to tell your friend. You doing too much, you getting into it with too much people, you burning too much bridges. That ain't important. But if the beef is important and the beef is about something actually beneficial or towards something, then you are about your friends. But adopting all your friends, beef, not being loyal, that just being a yes man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I appreciate you calling from the 843.

[Caller/Guest]

Right?

[DJ Envy]

He hung up. Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, you hung up on him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's happening?

[Jessica (Jess)]

Listen, listen.

[Caller/Guest]

You got beef with one of my friends and steak dinners. We out back. Longhorn, Texas Roadhouse. Cause I have good friends. I'm an empath. I feel what people feel. It's fake. Then if you got beef with one

[Charlamagne Tha God]

of my friends, what if your friend wrong?

[Caller/Guest]

Right. If my friend wrong, I' ma tell her. You remember Jadakiss line that I love? That ain't your dog if you can't check them.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yep, that's right.

[Memphis Bleak]

Right.

[Caller/Guest]

So if you wrong, I' ma check you. But if the beef is there, the beef is there. Where's the steak sauce? We got beef and I' Ma check you I'm put you in your place like you was dead ass wrong. But we here now.

[DJ Envy]

[Caller/Guest]

[DJ Envy]

[Caller/Guest]

What's going on?

[Caller/Listener]

Shout out to you, DJ Envy, Charlemagne, the guy John.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Peace, peace.

[Caller/Listener]

Real quick on the topic. You can't pick up your friends be due to the fact of what if you a stand up citizen, you go to work, you do your thing, you take care of your family, you got a knucklehead friend that still dabbles in the streets. So now you're gonna pick up a straight due to the fact of your knucklehead friends are choices in life. Nah, I' ma pass on that. I'm gonna go ahead and hold my own, stay in my life. So, yeah, that's a definite note for me now.

[DJ Envy]

I feel you. But you know what it is? It's like sometimes, like even with Charlemagne, like people throw darts at Charlamagne all the time, right? I just don't. I just don't like it. I. I work with the man for what, 16, 17 years. I know the type of person he is. He's a good person. So, not that I'm gonna jump out the window at somebody, but if you, if you go at him wrong, I just don't rock with you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How you going gonna care more than me though? I don't even be care.

[DJ Envy]

I mean, I can't. I just don't like it. It's like when I see people do good things and I see people attack for no reason. I just don't like it.

[Memphis Bleak]

It's just.

[DJ Envy]

It just shows who they are as a person. And if they show who they are, I just don't f with you.

[Memphis Bleak]

I don't rock with you.

[DJ Envy]

And if you say something about me,

[Memphis Bleak]

I don't rock with you.

[Caller/Listener]

Hey, at the end of the day, though, my girl told me this, and this is the truth. Think about it. What people think about you is not your business. That's they thought.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[Caller/Listener]

Like I said this, you got to stay inside of your lane. They choices is inside of their heads. You ain't got nothing to do with how they think or how they feel. That's their business.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[DJ Envy]

You're right. But I also realize I just don't want that energy around me because if they'll do it to him, they do it to me later on 100. They'll do it to just next week.

[Caller/Listener]

And I tell my sons that as well. And when you feel the energy off, you let them have it. You remove yourself from that situation.

[DJ Envy]

That's right. Thank you.

[Caller/Listener]

Real quick, just shout out to you, sweetie, for filling in this week.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You know. One thing I had to unlearn was treating my textured hair like everybody else's. For years, I followed all of the popular advice, tried the trends and used products that worked for other people. But my hair was still dry. It was breaking and it just wasn't retaining any length. Not the length I wanted anyway. It was so frustrating because I felt like I was doing everything right but still not seeing any results. Everything changed when I realized my hair needed products made specifically for textured hair. That's why I love Baskin Lather. I've been especially enjoying the stimulating scalp and hair balm because it helps me nourish and hydrate my hair without feeling like it's greasy. It's made with 100% natural ingredients helps reduce breakage, adds shine and supports healthier looking hair over time. I also love the hydrating hair mistake which helps keep my soft hair moisturized and helps fight dryness and frizz. And I love the story behind the brand. Baskin Lather is a black owned and family operated company created by founder Shayna and her mother when they developed their own hair care line solutions. When a younger sister was told that her hair may never grow back. Today her hair reaches down to her hips, honey. Looking at the before and the after results on the site, it's easy to see why so many people swear by these products. Looks, explore viral bestsellers and products of healthier hair of all types.

[Lauren LaRosa]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She be having the latest on

[Caller/Listener]

the

[Memphis Bleak]

Latest with Lauren LaRosa.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

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

[Memphis Bleak]

Well, it's the latest brought to you

[Charlamagne Tha God]

by Top Dog Law on the Breakfast Club.

[Memphis Bleak]

Talk to me.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All right, y'.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So an update. And in the Tyler Perry case, we haven't really been talking too much about this. It's been a second, but I just saw this story. So you guys remember the actor that was trying to say that there were like some sexual things that were sent to him in text messages? And it's hard to Perry did some wrong things when it came to him. Remember that guy?

[Jessica (Jess)]

Right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So Tyler Perry has filed new legal documents and he's claiming that the male sexual assault accuser is trying to pressure him into a settlement. So according to Tyler Perry, he's saying that Mario Rodriguez is working overtime to pressure him into the settlement. But he's not going to cave. So in these new legal docs, his team is saying, well, he's firing back at some, at some claims that Mario made. When Mario, remember he was saying that Tyler Perry didn't want to sit down and didn't want to give certain information because they don't want to go into the sexual orientation conversation. Tyler Perry says that's not it. But what he won't do is allow for himself to be shaken down. And he's saying that this guy Mario holds a backward belief that Tyler Perry should be embarrassed by any of the questions that he would answer. And that is not true. So brief update there in case you guys were wondering. Now as we move on, another legal update, the Wolf of Wall Street. So you guys who don't know the Wolf of Wall street, the movie, it is based on a real person. His name is Jordan. I know he's been here, but some people don't know that that is based on a real person. Now, Jordan Belfort has has finally finished his court ordered restitution. Now, this comes decades after he was convicted following all of the fraud that went down. So according to sources, Jordan's legal obligation to continue making restitution payments expired on April 28, 2026, bringing a close to more than two decades of court supervision tied to the case. So Jordan gave a statement. He said, for nearly three decades, I've lived with the consequences of my past and worked every day to take responsibility for it. Today I can finally say that I completed my court ordered restitution. It's hard to put into words what that means. It brings some sense of closure that I've been working toward for the rest of my adult life. And he talks about how grateful he is to close a chapter and move forward.

[DJ Envy]

How much was the money? How much was the restitution?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Let me look it up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm sure it was a lot.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh yeah, it was two decades worth. He was paying.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They said it was a nine figure song.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. So he paid roughly 14 million. Yeah, he reportedly paid roughly $14 million of the 110 million dollar restitution and fines that he was ordered to pay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn.

[Jessica (Jess)]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes. So I mean that chapter closes. But I think, I mean because of the movie and stuff like that, people are still going to know him as.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You know, and he writes books.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, he's worth like a hundred now.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, you close the chapter. Chapter. But it's still there. And he's gonna make the best of it, I'm sure. All right.

[Jessica (Jess)]

He make money off the movie?

[Lauren LaRosa]

I can't answer that. But I know that he, he doesn't

[Jessica (Jess)]

run from the, the narrative story about his life. So I mean, I ain't know if he was, if he was, if he got paid from the Wolf of Wall Street.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He actually has a documentary that premieres tonight also. This is Paramount plus called the Real Wolf of Wall Street.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So this, this court order restitution story is right on time then because it's going to make more, more people want to look into all of the background info.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's a three part documentary. It actually premieres tonight today, July 14th.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Got you. All right now as we wrap Brad Pit. So Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, they were going through for some years, like almost 10 years, a divorce which got pretty messy between their children. Now their youngest children, Aar. And we know her because people talk a lot about the fact that she went to Spellman. She is taking steps to remove Pitt as her legal name. Now this is not the first of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jodali's children to do so. She is just the last. So she wants to be called Zahara Marley Jolie. Now the reason why people are talking about this is because people are like, why is this in the newspaper? She had to take out newspaper ads for two consecutive weeks in order to do this, which legally is a thing that happens under California state law and in some other states as well too, because they want to make sure that, that this is not fraud. You got to give people public notice. Like there are, I'm sorry, four week rule. There are certain things you have to do in order to do that. So under California state law, she had to do that. But the last time this went viral was when Zohar walked across the stage at Spelman, and they did not use Pit at the end of the last name. They only used Jolie. And that picked up. So, yeah, now that's an update there.

[Jessica (Jess)]

Damn. Did he say anything that has Brad pissed Anything?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, he. Yes. So on his side of things. A source. They claim that this is Jeff. Just another example of how there's been a strain or wedge in between his children when it comes to him. And they're putting all of that on Angelina Jolie.

You got a positive note, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The positive note is it's always better to be sincere and lose everything thing than to be insincere and go places, okay? Success achieved by cheating people, lying and deceiving will come at a price that is always too heavy to pay. Have a great day.
