And that's why it made me think about the Super Bowl for the last I don't know how many years, there was a lot of those artists performing at the Super Bowl. Idea and things have changed, but there was a lot of artists that I had no idea who they where.
My daughter was watching with me both who.

Maybe people algorithm be different.
My timeline was a Shannon shop sex tape and Kendrick Lamar song last night.

You know, she's just fun, so she just she looked amazing.
Tyler.
Tyler's faces were all over because because every time somebody was performing, they showed Tyler, and Tyler always gave in the face. When she won her award, I know you're gonna break it down and just with the message USB center in Long Island in New York Center.

Flavors on stage flavor we'll talk about it. And just with the mess.
It was a lot going on all right now. Today DeMar DeRozan will be joining us, of course, the NBA baller.
He's got a great new book. I just had his book in my hand.
It's called Above the Noise, My Story of Chasing That's right, man.
I love the mart and mar de Rosen. There's a big, big, big mental health advocate. You can tell he's a brother that's doing the work on himself and he's sharing his stories with everybody else. And I always say, the only way to eradicate the stigma around mental helps everybody to tell that story.
So I'm glad he's sharing his yes and also running for president of the United States representing the Green Party. Doctor Jill Stein, she'll be joining us in her running mate Doctor Butcher where Yes.
And the good sister Angela Rai will be here as well when we have that conversation.
And let's get to show crack and we got front page news. We're goanna be joining us when we come back. Morgan once, you don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Oh, Glorilla performed last night.
Yes, and she had a moment shout out to her dancers because they.
Literally did come off. She was holding it understrapped, but they hold it down. We'll get to what he said, got who got strapped?
It's the Breakfast Club.
Come morning morning, everybody is dj n V. Jess hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Scott's kinky already. Lona Rosa filled it for Jess and let's get in some front page news.
Good morning again, Good morning. I'm turned up with my aid.
Okay, all right, So would you guys like to see another debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris?
Would you like to No?
I mean I mean I would I would like to see you one for entertainment purposes, but I mean you know this isn't about entertainment. This is about two people and then for the president of the United States of America. So for that matter, no, it's gonna be more the same.
Yep, all right.
Well, a rematch between the two twenty twenty four presidential candidates is up in the air.
Following Tuesday's debate.
The Hairs campaign called for another one, but as of late Wednesday, Trump is still undecided.
Let's hear Trump's comments on a debate rematch.
We won the debate according to every poll, every single poll that are we gonna do a rematch? I just don't know who you're a We're looking at it. But you know, when you win, you don't really necessarily have to do it a second time.
So we'll see.
Maga is just as delusional about Trump after this debate as Democrats were about Biden. After the Biden Trump debate. You remember there was still some Democrats holding on, like you know, there was hope. You know, I'm gonna ride with Biden. I don't care if he's a Corps weekend at Burnie. He's all of that stupid foolishness they was fewing. That's how Maggi is now in regard to Trump. Trump he don't got it, bro, There's nothing he can do against the Vice president and a debate.
Oh.
Actually, to debunk what Trump said, nearly every poll indicated that VP Harris won the debate. Trump says a fighter who loses always immediately asked for a rematch and as a jab, you know, to the Hairs campaign. So there are several debates that are on the table being offered by NBC, Fox and others. Meanwhile, viewership numbers show rating sword for the first debate between Harris and Trump. Nielsen reports that more than fifty seven million people watch the show down across the four major networks and four cable news channels. There is nearly ten million more than the initial tally for the June debate between Trump and Biden. While surpassing that number, the final total for the Harris Trump debate is unlikely to break records. The most watched debate, however, was that between Trump and Clinton. So Trump is a he, like you said, entertainment purposes Hillary Trump debate happened in twenty sixteen, which drew eighty four million viewers.
And then let's be clear, the VP's team is asking for a rematch, because if you're not doing press.
Why not debate in front of the American people, you know what I mean?
And why not debate against your opponents so they can they can look clearly and see I this is a clear contrast.
I know who I'm going to vote for.
And people got to see who she was, especially for people that don't know who she is, especially Trump supporters, they got to see who she was.
And like you said, how many fifty nine million people?
And I can't believe there's still any undecideds out there, by the way, I really can't believe that.
So meanwhile, former President Trump and his running mate Ohio Senator JD. Vance, they continue to push the questionable claims about Haitian immigrants eating dogs. They're eating the dogs, A senator of Vance appears to double down on the claims. Let's hear more from Vance on that no.
One has spread false claims.
What they've said is that a small microant community twenty thousand, so it's big for the city springfielders.
It's small compared to whole historyes from the United States in America. But that small micro community is false at.
Profit again, the City of Springfield spokesperson Karen Gray says local leaders have got no credible report. There are no specific claims that pets are being harmed, injured, abused.
Or even eaten.
Now, there is a report out there about a woman from Ohio who ate a cat. She's not Haitian and she's from Canton. So let's go Aheadian.
Plenty of lesbian dcat That's what. That's the whole point, stop, all right.
So, also, yesterday it was the nine to eleven and President Biden, former President Trump, Vice President Harris, and J. D. Vance, Senator Vance, they gathered in solidarity at the World Trade Center to remember the victims. Now, Senator Vance, he talked about what that ceremony was like, let's hear.
More from him.
I'd never been there by myself, And of course, an incredibly tragic day in our country's history, a sad day, but also a really beautiful ceremony remembering those that we had lost. And you just can't help but think magnified three thousand individual stories of lives lost, of families torn apart. And it's also you know, you talked about this earlier, but all these grandkids who never knew their grandfather, never knew their grandmother.
It shouldn't take you know, those type of situations to see them be bipartisan.
But you know, I won't get too much into that.
If you did speaking of bipartisan, if you did see a picture of Biden with a MAGA hat on, it was not it was not a I So Biden did pose with a red, white and blue Trump twenty.
Y'all worship Biden. That's who y'all worshiped. Why don't you do that at a time?
Facebook?
For that?
Man, I'm not coming with an excuse.
I'm a report.
What the report says, you know what I'm give you. I'm gonna give you the substance.
So with that being said, Yeah, he was there to mark the twenty third anniversary in Shanksville, Pennsylvania of the nine to eleven attacks.
So uh.
Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates posted the photo on X. He said, the President spoke about bipartisan unity following the nine eleven attacks, and uh he Biden actually gave his hat, the hat that he had on to a Trump supporter and to show solidarity, the Trump supporter gave Biden his hat, so Biden put the hat off.
It's a big difference between wearing the hat of a Trump said Now, if Trump would have wore a Kamala hat and then Biden wore a Trump had, that would make more sense. But just a random supporter, I didn't see No, I didn't see that picture.
I only saw a picture of Biden Trump. It doesn't even matter.
They're gonna take the picture and what they're gonna do they gonna send it all over the place.
Most of the people are not even gonna heard with.
Morgan just said, please get off Facebook. That's that's given. You don't need to upload the selfies with the eye and keep him in the basement.
Okay, keep him locked away all right now, he needs to just stay home. Can I say one other thing about the so called Haitians eating the pets?
Whatever?
You know, soon you're gonna see a video of some group of people, you know, cooking a dog. It's not gonna be real, but just know that you will see it floating around social media and people are gonna say, hey, this is what we were talking about. Of course, we're just in the age of propaganda. I hope you all know that, right and then, and most of the propaganda is is created by people, of course, you know that, right?
Yeah, all right, Well you know so, he Speaker Mike Johnson, he's pulling a government funding bill after GOP support collapsed. A vote is scheduled for today, but over a dozen Republicans withdrew their support for the proposed legislation that's tiered to voter id laws. A stopgap plan would keep the government funded into March. If a funding plan is not past, the government will shut down on October first.
So that's that's going on.
Let's make sure that we can continue to fund our government before we, you know, get into a November election.
But yeah, that's a front page news for the six Am.
On the seven Am, we're.
Going to talk about the Taylor Swift effect and whether or not that really makes a difference in this election.
Oh boy, all right, we'll get into that next. Everybody else, Get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you need to vent, phone line to wide open again. Eight hundred five five one oh five one is the Breakfast Club, Go morning, the Breakfast Club?

So the VMA's went down last night at the USB Center and it was a show and performances. Yup Eminem opened the show and then Megdae Stallion hosted the show and meg Da Sallien did outfit tribute. She did a tribute to Beyonce and one of her outfits. She did a tribute to Britney Spears's Slave for u VMA performances. She actually had the snake, but she got scared, so she made the product like one of the producers, come take the snake off of her.
Glorilla.
On arrival on the carpet, she paid Ham and she left eye with her outfit one of her VMA looks, and then.
Glorilla was performing. She did a Metalia songs.
But when she was performing thank God Its Friday, her top was about to come on. She literally was holding it with her hands and still trying to dance, so she was rocking out the performance though one of her dancers came behind her. I don't even know how she peeped what was happening, because she was behind her and put the top like back together.
Still dancing while she was doing it.
It still was dancing and got right back and saying shout out to that dancer.
I hope blow takes her out to dinner today, breakfast lunch something.
Elo cool J performed.
He was celebrating the forty years of Death jam, so he brought out Public Enemy with him as well. Let's take a listen to Ella.
They call me Big Big because Buster ROMs actually introduced him.
Oh wow, I didn't even see that party. I was in and out. It was so the show was very, very long. I was in and all of the show. What else Katy Perry except that the Vanguard Award h Chappell wrong now Chappelle Chappelle wrong, wrong, or I know who that was either, So she is a music artist.
She was there. She took home a Best New Artist. I believe it was Best New Artist.
I asked a question.
You know, it's gravy. I saw Perry and don't you perform it? On the timeline. I didn't know what that was from.
B Are you gonna ask me what one of her songs are?
No, I was gonna ask you, is she trans because I've seen the I guess a drag queen or something. Introducer she was like that to my son or that's my daughter, and I was confusing. My daughter didn't notice I was asking you.
And then when she gave a speech, I don't know. I don't know.
I was asking, what do you mean? Was it like, does he identify as a son? I don't know, that's what I'm identified as a daughter. I don't know that's why the person introducing him identify as a father mother. I don't get what you're saying me neither.
I'm not for sure, but I do know. I do know that she that she has.
Talked a lot about like like drag queens who inspire her.
Look, you know, but I don't.
Know she's not trans. One of the produces.
She's not trans Oh okay, wow, Envy, that was just asking because what she said, that's what and inclusive goes wrong. You just want to ask a question. You can ask a question, not really without defendish somebody. She should just shut up, all right, Well.
That's exactly what she said.
That is exactly what Chappelle rone said, because listen, she already is want of them people.
She says she deals with anxiety.
She told her fans a few maybe a month ago, to stop being weird, stop running up on her asking for pictures and all that stuff. But on the carpet last night, you know how the photographers when you're on the carpet, they're like yelling, look this way, look this way.
So she got at one of the photographers and take a listen.
You can't you can't have one without the other, though, like you can't have the success of what does she do. She's a performer, performed singer. The fame comes with that.
Nick just said it's Chapel wrong.
I thought it was Chappelle. I don't know.
That was the first time me seeing her last night, but she killed and her performance was one of the dopest performances of the night. You could tell they put a lot into her set. She was it was kind of like medieval times that she was performing.
So she had fire.
She shot like a bow and arrow on fire, and it was pretty dope. When she was forming. I had no idea what the song was the first time me hearing her, but her performance.
Was pretty saying too about the song.
My first time seeing her hearing her was when she went viral like crazy because she was yelling at her fans, and I'm like, who is this girl and why is she so upset?
You keep going at your fans, You're not gonna have too many of them, you know what I mean? And eventually you know that people will I'll get tired of that.
Well, she told uh, I think she was talking to entertainment tonight. Don't quote me on the outlet, but she told them that basically she did that because she deals with anxiety, and oh it was entertainment tonight. She said, for someone who gets a lot of anxiety around people yelling at you, the carpet is horrifying.
So I yelled back, She definitely yello.
She's yelling them like basically telling them, don't yell at me like that.
Shut up, shitt the f down, shut the f up.
We don't walk the red carpet. Then she gave I'm a person who deals with a yell at you next, But my thing is, I'm a person that deals with anxiety. Is well, so you know what you're doing. You deal with anxiety. You stay away from situations that you know are going to trigger se anxiety.
Yeah, I think now learned that if you.
Know the red carp is going trigger, you don't go in the red carpet.
But she had her own carpet too, so she was on the red carpet with her own carpet. So they laid down her carpet that she went on there and took picture. So I guess they were yelling as it were.
But just listening, you're talking about laying down carpet.
Oh my god, I get it.
Well, I apologize chapel wrong forgetting any wrong. Don't yell at me, girl.
So she killed the last night she did.
And then tailor Swift Taylor Swift took home. She actually last night won the most awards of the evening and she tied Beyonce last night with the most wins by an artist, with thirty wins and one last night.
I know, I don't.
I don't cause she was nominated for a bunch of things.
Honestly, I don't know that. The show was like three hours long. There was flavor flave. This was a lit moment. I did see this part. You guys remember when Jordan childs they took her metal back and he was like, y'all, I got a clock for you.
I'm a sendor the clock. They did that.
VMA's was very smart about that. They did that on the stage. Just take a listen.
I know they tried to take your metal away from you. You know what I'm saying, But you know what.

Had no no, I was saying, I had no idea the ving made were happening last night. I didn't feel a lot of promo. Ford and the Screech are on social media, but it sounded lively from what you just reported.
On a lot of performances, it.
Was a lot of performances. I mean, it's the VMA's and it's a worst show. They got budgets, so they did a great job.
I do it was it was really amazing. Ready did their two stages. It was nothing cheap. It was not like they were lacking on money. They put a lot into all their budgets, Like every stage when they went from left to right to left to right. All the stages were done right, the sets amazing, costumes were great. So they didn't they didn't like what it came to money.
And I will go to.
Watch that that Dochie and Katy Perry performance because I wanted to watch it last night. I didn't know it was from the VMA, so I just saw it come across the timeline. I thought that, you know, Katie was on tour something.
When I say she looked amazing, she looked good, Katy Perry looked good too. And it made me realize how many songs Katy Perry has that I actually like. Like I was never just put on Katy Perry, but last.
Night I was like, yo, I like her two albums phenomenal, But I'll tell you one other thing.
And she did all that last night on her the first day of her period. According to it, she said.
That why do y'all notice she said that people shared too much information? I swear, but I'll tell you something that damn Dochie drop on the clues bomd for DOCI.
I told y'all a few weeks ago there.
On the radio when I heard alligated Byson Neverhill, phenomenal, phenomenal project.
Man Dochi is she's dope.
No, No, she's really dope. She's really dope. She steps outside the box with us. All right, now, when we come back, let's get into you want to play now? So Kendricks Lamar released the record yesterday.
Yeah.
See, then we're gonna talk about this too.
He play the record, he took, He took a couple of shots, according to what I think I heard, y'all gonna let me know what you guys said you heard once we get into it later, all.
Right, we'll get it on now and then we got front page news.
And don't forget Powerhouse NYC goes down the Prudential Center October twenty six. You could pre sale. You can pre get your tickets now at ticketmaster dot com. That happens at ten eight am, So get your tickets. Let's get in Kendrick Lamas Breakfast.
Watch the party die.
Wait wait wait if you're like into the breakfast club. All right, that was Kendrick Lamar Market.
It's like another minute long. If you want to hear a full version, I'll get it on in the mix.
Yeah, Saluta Kendrick Man, he salute. He shot it out.
La Craze on that record and Tamy s Martin but also my god d One so driving the Clues Bonds with d One out.
I don't think we got to that part because the song is very it ain't dead now, he.
Said, he said, he one, He said, look cray twice though. All right, but yeah, saluta Kendrick. If you want to hit a full version, like I said, I'm gonna get it on in the mix. Now, let's get in some front page news.
Well, so what's up?
So, as you mentioned yesterday, Lauren Taylor Swift is endorsing Vice Presidal Kamala Harris for her presidential run, and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walls, says he's incredibly grateful. In a social media post just after tuesday nights debate, Swift said she'll be voting for Harris because she fights for the rights and causes that she believes in. Reacting to the news, Walls encouraged the pop Stars fans to follow her lead. Let's hear those reactions from Minnesota Governor Tim Walls.
That's the type of courage we need in America to stand up. We've seen it out of those Republicans who were at the DNC. We've seen it out of women who would like to have their own personal lives kept personal but are forced to go out there because they nearly died because they can't get abortion services in a pregnancy. And now you have somebody like Taylor Swift coming out making that very clear. This would be the opportunity swifties.
This will be the opportunity swifties.
On Instagram, Swift went on to say that Harris is a steady handed and gifted leader and that we could accomplish so much more in this country if we were led by calm and not chaos. Now, Swift appears holding a cat in the post and signed it Taylor Swift child is cat Lady.
You know it's funny how with celebrity endorsements. If the celebrity that's powerful like a Taylor. Swift endorses who you want them to endorse. Celebrity endorsements are great, but the celebrity endorses somebody you don't want them to endorse.
Celebrities need to stay out of politics. Celebrities don't need to be involved in politics.
I want to say something last night, but she just said said Kelsey and the crowd was cheering. So but she was just like, well, you know what elections come up, you need to vote. And then they kind of just readlined it. But she was about to get into it last night, but they cut her off beforehand.
Well, you know, Trump doesn't like it, so he spoke with Fox News and he says he's never been a Swift fan.
Anyway, Let's hear Trump's comments on the endorsement.
She's a very liberal person.
She seems to always endorse a Democrat. And she'll probably pay a price for it at the in the marketplace.
Now, those comments obviously came before the VMA, so I'm not sure where she's supposed to pay for it in the marketplace.
But you know, well Trump would Trump would love it if she had endorsed him.
I mean, he wanted to endorse it so much that they did you know fake AI endorsements, And it was interesting to hear JD. Van say that, you know, nobody wants to hear from out of touch billionaire celebrity when Donald Trump is out of touch billionaire celebrity celebrity.
This comes at the same time that the Florida Democratic Party is organizing in full force for the Swift era's tour in Miami. Like this is full on strategy as early voting begins in October, so retired University of South Florida political scientist doctor Susan McMahon. She says Swift's post on social media reaches younger voters, especially in Florida.
Let's hear more from her.
It's not Hollywood, but it's music stars that are really bringing the map, and a lot of their lyrics and so forth are very political. As you know, older people don't get why and how this is changing. One thing that we know about Democrats and some of these key states and including Florida, is that they absolutely have to bring in the younger voters to win. But let's focus on something else that's very important and also very important in Florida, the Taylor Swift endorsement.
But do I think this is the end of the story. Absolutely not. Look at how many.
Quists and turns we've already had, and you can't predict what will happen next week, let alone tomorrow practically.
So tell us what this schedule to perform in Miami on October eighteenth, nineteenth, and the twentieth and early voting happens in Miami De County on October twenty first. So that's pretty cool how they're you know, strategizing in that regard. Meanwhile, University of Texas San Antonio political science professor John Taylor, he says that celebrity endorsements are as old as elections themselves, and he believes they don't make much of a difference.
More from him, Taylor Swift endorsed Teba Redson in twenty eighteen for you a Senate he lost Voprah's endorsement of Obama in two thousand and eight. Was she the one that ultimately swayed people to vote for Obama and get him the Democratic nomination? Probably not. You asked the question of the average voter, now, what's affecting your vote the most? The economy. It's about reproductive choice, about gas prices, It's not necessarily about what does Taylor Swift think.
I believe he's probably right, you know, I think people make their own decisions, you know, based off you know, their needs and their interests. You know, one thing I do like that Taylor did. She didn't tell people to vote for Kamala Harris. She just told people to vote and told people who she's voting for. That's what I think we all should do. I'm not telling you who to vote for. I want you to go out there and do your own research and make your own decision.
I told you who I'm.
Supporting, but not because I want you to support them, just because I vote. My interest in Kamala Harris speaks to money.
But as a young eighteen year old that might not deal with the same things that a lot of adults are dealer with. And they love Taylor Swift day, follow Taylor Swift day, go.
To her concert. They like to see what she's eating all in her life.
In fact, if somebody that says they're voting for somebody, I think a lot of those people will be impressiable. Maybe, but I would encourage you to do what Taylor Swift told you to do, and that is go do your own research, Colla said, I did my own research, and neither of the reasons I'm choosing to vote for the vice president.
But you do your own research and you vote for who you want to vote for. I feel the same.
But them kids that are willing to do anything for Taylor swift tickets and are swifties, I think are going to follow.
Exactly what she's doing.
I agree with you, MV. Switching gears just a bit.
You know, the Congressional Black Caucus and Your Legislatives Conference is underway here in Washington, d C. The event it focuses on issues impacting African Americans and the black community across the world.

Now, when we come back, NBA ball of Damal de Rosen will be joining us. He has a new book out right now Above the Noise, My Story of Chasing Calm, and we're gonna talk to him next. You don't go anywhere.
It's to Breakfast Club. Good Morning, the Breakfast Club.
Morning.
Everybody is dj n V, Jess, Hilarrys, Charlamagne God.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Justice on maternity leave, Laura la Rossi's feeling in and we got a special guest in the building, Comptence Finess, ladies and gentlemen, Jamal Derosan.
Welcome man, it's timon Man.
How you doing my brother doing good?
How you doing?
Blessed Black and Holly figured new book out Above the Noise, My Story of Chasing Calm.
I love that title. When I hear that title, I know a man that's doing the work on himself.
Man trying.
Man. It's just it's definitely a challenge, something that's not easy to take time. It's patience. Gotta give yourself grace. You know, we go through a lot of stuff. You know that we sweep under the rug, and a lot of times by the time we figured it out, we deep in and it takes a lot of work to try to figure that out. So, you know, just trying to expire, get the message out there, and just try to break the stigma.
More than more than.
Anything, I want to I want to know your journey when it came to the NBA, right because growing up as a kid, there wasn't as many leagues where it was training. We just kids played in the park and the good kids with the high school played on a high school team, playing in college.
But now it seems like everything is foreseen as training.
You gotta train, train, six days a week, Lamar Olderman, all those days just play park.
They went to rugby, play ball and kept the moving.
So what was your journey getting too the league and explain to some of the kids out there who have that dream how difficult it.
Was to to get there.
First of all, like you said, like growing up, like we didn't know nothing about training. It was all like if I go to the play at the park from sun up to sundown, that's what I'm gonna be able to do, you know, That's what I'm gonna do. It's in the backyard, if it's making a crate playing basketball, Like my aspiration was always trying to escape from my reality with sports, you know what I mean, whether we play football in the streets, whatever, whatever it may be. You know, we use sports as a gateway, you know, for peace. And for a long time, you don't even consider working out, You just want to hoop. As you get older, it becomes more difficult when you got to take those necessary steps to you know, evolve into a true basketball player. So it's it's definitely a long road, you know, and especially now, I can't even imagine what social media and so much stuff that's in front of these kids. Now you basically famous by the time you know, you in middle school, you know, so it's definitely difficult these days, more more so than ever.
When before it just used to be about the game.
And when did you realize you were that good to make it to the league, Because as a kid, everybody thinks they joined and everybody thinks they Kobe. Everybody thinks they every player that they ever imagined. When did you know, like, oh, I got a shot, when it was a.
True, real life belief.
Probably by the time I was probably like in the nineteenth grade, when it was like, all right, if I keep working at this, I maybe I still maybe have a chance. But for me everything was still felt so far fetched because you know, you didn't know nothing about college.
I didn't have nobody in my.
Family go d one, So even just going to college was a big thing, like, man, I gotta at least make it to college, like damn the lead college was more so the big obstacle for me to make it to their. So by the time my senior year, I know I was going to SC, I knew I know it was a chance for after that for me to go pro for sure.
What about your father, because I love seeing black men celebrate their fathers, and you dedicated the book to your father, Frank de Rosen.
What was some of the values he contributed, you know, and still to your upbringing.
Not just as a man more than anything. You know, he taught me the art of hardworking, resiliency, being a man, sticking to your word.
And you know, everything that he went through, he never complained.
Coming from Compton twenty eighteen is when you sent out the tweet, the depression get the Best of Me tweet that kind of sparked all of the conversation.
And I know you were back in LA at the time.
Do you think or did you feel like, was it like survivors remorse because you're so connected to home and family.
Now your back and you're at the height of your career.
Like, yeah, I think for me, that's when everything hit the wall for me because my career was, you know, taking off at a peak that I never would imagine. You know, I'm coming back home to LA and a starter for the All Star team, and you know, all I cared about in that moment was get home and see my kids, want to see my daughters. I didn't care about nothing else. But it's like as soon as I got to LA, so everybody asked or something needing, something wanting tickets, wanted to do this. Everybody had this pre notion of like I felt like I was getting plotted on in a sense, you know what I mean when at the end of the day, I just want to go hug my kids.
I want to do what my kids want to do.
But it's like the overwhelming feeling of I see myself in all these hotels downtown LA. It was just a lot and it kind of put a lot of stuff in perspective for me and I kind of just you know, I hit a wall at that point.
Was Toronto a better place for you because you're away from that you grew up with? And was that a mistake? Leaving Toronto?
Toronto was the best thing that happened for me because at that time, even when I was at s CE, like if I had a good day or a bad day, I was still going to Compton, like still going to stay at my mama house in Compton. I'm still around the same type of environment. So I really wasn't evolving in a way I needed to, you know, I still ran back to what I was comfortable with. So when I left at Sea got drafted, you know, I go to a whole nother country.
Toronto, Like what the hell? A lot of beautiful women in Toronto. It's a beautiful place. Love like love it know, a lot of beautiful women here that.
It definitely is like it's it's it's so wild because I didn't realize how much I needed to be away from home, and it was to the point to where like nobody in my family had a passport and my cousins would go like, so I was there by myself. So it forced me to kind of grow up in a way to where it helped me mature in a in a very professional way where I paid attention to nothing but working on my craft, how to be the best player, best individual, listen to all the ogs, Like I didn't have no outside distraction because I can't have the homies come up. I can't have had a fam come up. Nobody got no damn passport, Like it wasn't easy getting a passport. So it was something that that definitely was a necessity in my career at that point, and a lot of a lot of things that I learned from my time being a waif from home then I still carry to this day, just understanding solitude and being able to be being myself.
But that's the first time you felt the come.
Yeah yeah, unknowingly too, you know what I mean, because it wasn't no distraction. I had no choice but to be to myself. And with that, you know, now you got to figure out, you know, how to how to do laundry, how to how to what to eat fig like so much stuff when before you know, I'm gonna just go to moms. Man, I'm gonna have moms make me something to eat this this. So it definitely was a calm, like I said, even to this point. That make it easier for me when I need those moments to be alone, Like it's easy to do.
The decision to leave to Rob, why was that? That was tough.
That was tough because at that point, you know, I was nine years in. It was the only place I ever knew, the only place I you know, wanted to stay invested so much there.
You know, I grew there.
I was nineteen when I got drafted, had two kids up to that point, so I became a father.
Like just was a lot going on.
You never thought in your mind that you were leaving a place that you know, you had so much success in. So when that happened. You know, it took a hit, but you know, looking back on it, I'm glad you know it happened, because that's another point in my life that was needed for me to grow much more than I ever could imagine.
Was the rumors of you going to La ever real that?
Yeah? Yeah, that was one.
Yeah.
How close did it get?
It was basically like a done deal at one point, And I remember waking up and I remember leaving LA because I just knew, like man Bridge he started, I'm about to sign with the Lakers is about to be a show, Like you know what I mean. So I took a vacation, got away with the I think with the Cowboy or something, and you know, I look on Twitter. They with a different route. I was like, I thought I thought it was a done deal.
You found out some Twitter, Yeah the Lakers.
The Lakers changed that, you know, change their mind things.
So you and Cago and so what happens? How do you feel?
What do you?
Who do you call?
Like? What?
What's crazy? You don't call nobody?
You just basically, like, you know, figure out your next move, you know, because just because something probably could be a thought or word agreement, don't necessarily mean, you know, it's it's setting stone, you know. So they chose to go a different direction. And that's that's when I went to Chicago. So but before Chicago, it was a good chance I was going to be a Laker.
I always wonder how did that make players feel when they look on Twitter and see that they've just been shipped somewhere, because it's almost like you're not even human.
Yeah, just a spot.
And that's another thing I talked to a lot of guys about that. It's a lot of players in our league that kills they confidence. They don't understand it, and it puts them in aspiring like downhill like emotion that they can't get out of. And a lot of times you will see a lot of these guys that they good players and that one obstacle hit, they never the same because a lot of a lot of guys can't bounce back from it from a mental aspect, expectations set on them. They feel like they didn't reach it. Now they feel less than they they It's a lot that goes into it that gets overlooked. You know, I understand that's a it's a business, but a lot of times guys feel a certain type of way when that do happen, and a lot of times it's hard to bounce back from it.
All right, we got more with Damar Deroza when we come back, don't move. It's the breakfast Club, Good morning, more thing. Everybody's dj ND.
Jess, Hilary Charlamagne the guy. We are the breakfast club, Laura the Rosa feeling in for Jess. We're still kicking it with NBA ball of Damar DeRozan Charlamagne.
So what made you choose to play for the Kings?
Be honest, The opportunity to compete, the win was there on the other side of it, obviously, the financial part to be still receive what you were, you know what I mean?
Like, let me look that contract up there. He's like a bird over there, worse than a bird. Pull it up at look he got This is sixteen year in the league too.
Sixteen Yeah, what's the concheckt Charlamne.
Hold on.
Three year deal work up to seventy six point seven million, including three million unlikely bonuses.
Congratulations, Moro appreciates you appreciate it.
You see yourself going like twenty.
Physically for sure. You know, I definitely could do it. I take care of myself. I don't do nothing. I don't go out, I don't drink.
I just either be my kids. I'll be chilling like I don't do nothing.
So physically for sure, mentally that's the tough part because you know, kids getting older, missing so much stuff from the kid that that becomes more of a priority more so than anything. Like you know, I hate my daughter asks me if I'm to be at a dance they having them, I'm on the road. I can't make it, you know what I mean. That'd be the tough part. So, you know, seeing them get older and missing a lot of stuff, that makes it harder on me to say, let me go for twenty.
Why did you, you know, leave the spurs because you know greag propavisity writes the Ford in your book, I saw you telling the story about how I think it was after your father passed. He came to see me. Y'all just kicked it for like some hours. Yeah, and like why I leave that type of environment?
You know, it's crazy, Like Pop's such a real dude because even in that point, like he just wanted me to be able to go somewhere to win and kind of you know, because the team was going a different route.
It was kind of going younger.
And you know he just told me my last year in San Antonio, wherever you choose to go, I'm gonna make sure it happens. That's why I speak so highly at Papa, even like you know, Pop text me last night like just randomly, like you know, like the most positive message you could always get. You know, I love him Pop text me, But Pop, you know, he was the one that come to me saying, like, go somewhere where you could go, be happy and be yourself because we're going a different route here with the team.
Wow.
You know, so Papa real dude.
For that will make him such a special coach.
It's not about basketball, you know, it's been I always tell a lot of guys around the league, like you think it's basketball, but it's been so many days. Well, Pop, we'll come in, we think we're about to watch film on the game previously or something, and he'll sit us down and we'll watch a whole show about penguins and you'll be lost in a moment, but you also will watching realize why he have us watched, because how penguins come together and sacrifice during certain seasons, how the males come together take care of the eggs while the female go out and hunt for six months. It's like a deeper meaning that he puts you in front of to show you, like humidity from a different level, you know what I mean. And are maybe times where you lose two games in a row, everybody mad complaining, and he'll come in and show clips from a third world country of kids training at fourteen years old to playing to be in an army, and he'll tell you, ask yourself, like, what is it really to complain about? You get paid millions, like, you get to do what you want to do. It's people out there suffering from real things, you know. So he put a lot of stuff in perspective, and he know how to get the most out of his players more than anything.
When y'all watch the Penguin Doctor, it's so that they have same sex behavior because a lot of times they say same sex behavior in pinguins has been observed in Jews, but it's not clear if it's common in the wild.
Nah, Nah, I ain't get that. I ain't get that.
So let me ask you about that true reason that's true?
They look it up.
Okay, let me ask you about your pops. You said, you said, I knew my dad loved me and he was larger than life to me. But he was the only person that you were scared of. Oh my god, how were you as as a parent? Are you the same way with your kids?
No, because the fear he put in me. I always tell myself, I didn't want to.
Be like that to my kids, but it kept you straight. But I kept you straight.
But I also grew up in the streets.
My kids don't know nothing about the streets, so I approached them more so with love and patience and understanding. When before, like my parents paring me in a sense of survival. It was always a thing my mom always used told me, when you walk out the door, and make sure I don't care what you do, you walk back in this house, what every time you come back in. So with that it gave me a survival instinct to understand, like, no matter what I gotta, I gotta make sure I make it back to the house.
You know what I mean, because it was tough. So you know, my kids, when did you realize that? Because you know, as a kid, you think your dad's is being hard on you, and you I hate him. But then when you started getting little older, you start having kids, you understand.
That, Oh yeah, you understand so much.
Even to this day, to this moment, I still have moments where I fully understand while my parents did a lot of stuff that they did, you know. And but you know, when it comes to like that tough love, I don't think it's necessarily necessary, like it's like it was with my dad for me, especially growing up and competent.
You know, it's addressing.
I saw you say in the book that you were afraid to have a son of your own because you didn't feel that you could deliver the same brand of tough love that he did. And two things that I learned in therapy. Number one, I felt like my dad used to discipline me for things he never taught me. But also my dad was raising me out of fear and not love exactly. And I think what we call tough love is actually fear because he was afraid because you were in the street. It's like when I was in the street, my dad did not want me to make the same mistakes that.
He made exactly.
Yeah, And even now, you know, I got four girls and one son and having that, especially with my son, I think about my father more so than anything but him he brings like I give him the joy and the love that he deserved, like I do my daughters. You know what I mean, Because when I was a kid, I always wanted that for my dad. I always wanted to approval for my dad. I always wanted to make sure I made him happy. But that was a tough love he was giving me. That made me question at that time. So you know, with my son, like I definitely didn't want to come off that way, you know what I mean. I didn't want to give him that tough love. It may be times where it's needed, but for the most part, you know, my son is my dog. A loans with my daughters. But you know, having a son now, it makes me think about my dad more than anything.
Now, is it true that you said Jordan on the Wizards is your favorite?
Michael Jordan, but you don't do drugs more so, you gotta explain that more so from the standpoint of like how simple he made the game as such a he was thirty eight, thirty nine, forty still but that was your favorite, Jordan, It was my favorite, but it was more so the one that I could.
I remember watching the most, you know what I mean.
I'm thirty five, when you know, I was what twelve thirteen when I was with the Wizards, so it was more me understanding and like watching and.
You fell in love with that Jordan.
No, I love Jordan, okay, but I'm more so fell in love with that Jordan with the style of playoff playing.
Now you know what I mean.
Obviously you don't agree, huh.
No, I mean, I mean, I get what he's saying, but that twenty three on the Bulls.
Three, it's definitely something else.
That's your favorite Bron?
My favorite Bron. That's a good question.
I mean second Cleveland Stint Lebron probably my my favorite Bron because that's Lebron.
We couldn't get passed when we was in the playoffs. He was unstoppable.
And you had a relationship with Kobe to her, yeah, Kobe was.
I had a relationship with cob ever since I was probably fifteen, fifteen, sixteen years old, just growing up in Compton, Like yeah, growing up in Compton, and I always used to go to his camps. Then obviously when I was in high school, being a top ranking high school player. He used to have these late night runs where we would go up there and play. You know, he used to handpick who he fell in love with as players, and I was one of one of one of those ones. And by the time I was a senior in high school, you know, he'd give me his shoes I wore as Kobe's all. I think my senior year in high school. When I went to college, he used to give me a lot of his shoes. So we always had a relationship ever since I was young.
For sure, where do you rank them? Like, where do you have? We just finish talking about my goat?
Okay, I'm beyondest. I'll tell you about Kobe is my goat for many had reasons. You know, that was the first person like I watched, like growing up in LA, That's the only NBA game I used to watch Lakers. So I watched every single game of his. I cried when he shot the airballs versus you Tall in the playoffs as a kid. So I always had an emotional attachment to him growing up watching him play and obviously him being my mentor by the time you know, I got into high school and throughout throughout my time in the league.
All right, we got more with Damar DeRozan his new book Above the Noise, My story of cheasing Calm is out right now, we'll be back at the Breakfast Club.
Good morning, want everybody.
We are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it with NBA baller Damar DeRozan Charlamagne.
Did the NBA provide proper grief counseling after Kobe passed? Being even if you didn't have a personal relationship with Kobe, he influenced so many people in inspired so many people. Did they did they handle that correctly? Because the bubble that time?
Right?
What is that the bubble? Yeah?
That was that same year, right, yeah, yeah, because that happened, yeah that yeah, just that happened that year. Then the league stopped in that summer we went to the bubble. Yeah, no, you know what Scrater. I think during that time as players, we we we kind of embraced each other deeper than than anything, because you start to look at the person next to you, like, man, if this could happen a cold, this could happen to anybody, and it kind of hit us all hard.
Man.
I remember the day it happened. I remember we had a game and a lot of people across the league started, you know, basically text and talk before the game is like should we even play? A lot of people is contemplating on not even playing because just out of respect for Cold and everything. But we end up, you know, everybody ended up holding the ball. I think we held the ball for twenty four second shot clock. You know, just try to you know, pay pay respect to him. But you know, we all bridge together as players.
More more so than anything, I was playing against him because that was your idol, that was your goat. Y'all played with ten games in the league against each other.
Probably more than that.
I think for me it was it was cool because you know, I was even able to be a part of his last All Star game in Toronto, you know, to honor him even that season.
I think we honor him when he came to Toronto. I gave him some special shoes, special made Kobe shoes.
It was amazing being able to play against your idol, somebody you looked up to, and knowing how crazy he was on the court, the order that he carried almost similar to the stories I heard about Mike, you know, and to see that in Cold whenever he stepped out there on the court, the things he was able to do was it was beyond incredible.
I think, first of all, I love the title of your book.
Right now we're talking to the Marjorros and above the noise my story and chasing com I think we all know what noise sounds like, right What what does calm sound like? Because one thing you said earlier that hit me because I understand that feeling is when you feel peace, and you're a person that's used to dealing with anxiety about the depression. It scared you a little bit.
Man.
I think I said this the other day. It's kind of like you know that eerie feeling you get when you in the middle of somewhere and it's just too quiet, like you ain't for something wrong, you just wait. Like it makes your nerves kind of even worse in that moment because you you kind of on tend from there. So that was even a challenge for me, and I used to try to figure out ways on really how to like accept it in an indulgence. It got to a point to where I start going to like Montana, Wyoming, going to these random places where it's just completely natural sound and just like getting lost in it and understanding it's okay to be within peace, it's okay to kind of decompress away from everything else that's going on, because it's the true way to find the center yourself and kind of really think clearly for a second and not question it.
What is it that makes Compton so special?
Man?
Just think about it. All of the great iconic culture shifting people who have come out of come.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's it's it's wild because I've had moments where, you know, when I go back home and I'm leaving out this like city and you really just sit and realize, like, man, this this small city the birth some of the greatest individuals that ever touched.
The world, you know what I mean.
And it gives me the chills a lot of times when I think about it, because you know, it makes me even feel even more proud of even being from there, because it don't happen by accident the same, you know what I mean. It's something about this place that has so much to offer that you that you see, I'm just honored to be a part of it. Be honest with you, It's hard to pinpoint what is it, but it's it's something amazing because we got some grace to come out of there.
Now, you played in Toronto for years, but then Kendrick's from Compton, Drake is from Toronto.
That's your guy.
How do you how do you choose what you're gonna get into and what you're not going get into? At that point, you know, it's crazy. It's like love them both family. But at the end today it's like, I'm from Compton, like my city, where I'm from, where I'm born, where my family still live. It's like that comes first before anything, you know, And I feel like any real person will understand that, you know, And that's just what it is like. And it's so crazy because my second home became Toronto, that has one of the greatest of all time being from there too.
So watch your mouth, watch your mouth.
So you're not mad about the watch your mouth super Bowl.
No, I'm not mad.
I'm not mad. I understand it. Like, yeah, we for sure love to see Wayne up there. And my thing too, is like everybody was in such an upworld. We don't know Wayne was still gonna do it, you know what I mean, Like we don't know, we didn't know fifty was doing l A but we was. It was such an honored and surprise to see him still do it. You can't do that though, I mean, I mean that part of it. I would be crazy, you think. So, Yes, Kendrick put your name in the So I'm glad the Rose came home. Y'all deserve neither you being in the video.
They were acting like you man, crossing me lines and something, even though that's your guy. So imagine Wayne's showing up on stage.
True with me.
What do you want to say? I see dead people too, and then walk off a break That wouldn't work.
True.
That's why I'm glad I'm not in an entertainment because you'll job is definitely difficult. It's dope, regardless of how everybody look at it. I think it's dope. Go back to the content thing to see somebody from Comptant headline the super Bowl.
Like again, y'all just had one two years ago.
Yeah it's in LA in two years from now too, so but yeah, I don't know. I just appreciate the moment. I would love to see Wayne, you know, I love to see you know, cash money out there. I love to see no limit out there. You know, so I don't think too much into it when it happens, because I'm pretty sure it's more of a surprise that probably do come with it.
And that's just me guessing. I don't I don't have no insight on anything. That's just me guessing.
I want you to break down the concert, right, the concert that did in June teenth in La Right. Of course we see it from now side. We've seen the music side, but everybody was talking about what he did for street and local. So break that down for people that don't understand that part of it.
People got to understand. Like I know, it could seem like people celebrating whatever it come to the disk or whatever. But for us, the weeks leading up to it, the conversations that has had about certain people being in the same buildings that haven't been around each other, the same people that's been having issues, internal issues, hoods, individual problems with a lot of a lot of people. For everybody to know that they're going to be under one building and act accordingly, no problems, no issues. I remember when I first got there. I remember walking in the back and I see the line of every single entourage, every hood, every hood. I'm talking about blue red blue, red blue, red blue like you see it, and there was no issues, no problems. Everybody talking in that moment. Fear symbolized what really was going on that was bigger than just what the outside people may be looking at, like the beef they don't know, Like some of these dudes haven't even been in the same building in years. Some of these dudes hoods then had serious issues with this other hood. So it's like we all in here. Wasn't not one problem, wasn't one argument going or leaving. And that was the most incredible thing for me to witness.
Ladies and gentlemen. Tomal de Roze.
And this book is out right now above the noise, my story of chasing calm. And we appreciate you for joining us.
For sure.
Man, my Nick's beating up on y'all. You come on, you come in here, how what's up? I wish you much success season.
I don't have an NBA team, I like you know what I'm saying, So you know, I wish y'all much success in the Sacramento.
Thank you, brother, appreciate it absolutely.
It's the breakfast club, It's the Mar de Rosa. Now let's get to Jess with the mess with laur la Rosa.
Youse is real weapons lace, just carrobbing Moore, just don't do no lines, don't do that?
Why on the breakfast clubs the coaches Lauren.
And then I got the mess talked to me.
Man unk Shannon Sharp. At the time of this report, that is seven fifty three a m. Shannon Sharp is trended number one on Google Trend's world wide and it has been going on actively for eighteen hours. And y'all want to know why why He was on Instagram live yesterday on accident, according to him, engaging in some activities with a young woman named Michelle. We do not know who Michelle is, but the activities were sexual activities and you could hear on the morning the growning, the all of that, the kissing, the slurp.
It was a lot.
So of course, when this happened, it went viral with everybody trying to figure out what the heck is going on. And he addressed the fact that a lot of people said that this was stage, that he set this up just to get a moment take a listen.
Obviously, I'm embarrassed someone that is extremely, extremely private and to have one of your most intimate details the audio heard for the entire world to hear. I'm embarrassed for a lumber of reasons. People count on Chain ESPN, and there are a lot of people that count on Shannon to be professional at all times, even when I'm behind closed doors. I'm very disappointed in myself, not for the act, but but to have your most intimate detail on the audio to be heard. I'm disappointed in myself. I let a lot of people down. But God, this was not stage came in. I threw my phone on the bed, gauzed in an activity. I did not know ig lib. I've never been on IG live. I've never turned IG live on, so I don't know how it works.
And after a while, Jamie Fritz, who's been my longtime marketing guy, he finally got through to him and he says, Shannon, you're on IG live.
I'm like doing what it sounds like you were having sex? Man my heart singing.
So let me explain to y'all because I'm saying he doesn't know how IG life works, and there are some people out there that may not know how IG live.
Again, look at me while you're saying that again, and see what happened?
Because do you know how ig live works?
No, you know, I asked you this morning. I wor go through the procedures.
So listen.
So you gotta swipe your phone over to the right or no, yeah, okay, Well you can press like you're adding a photo to Instagram right scroll over to live. Yeah, you normally add a title, but he didn't. Then it counts down three, two one, this is a new feature. Then it says checking connection to make sure that people gonna get all the goods. We are not live right, and normally it would even tell you right if your connection is a little crazy, it'll say you are now live with an exclamation points. So there are some steps to getting on Instagram Live. But Shannon Sharp is saying that this was not something that was playing.
Yeah, anhing, but if you throw your phone on the bed, your phone doesn't swipe while it's on the bed, and it doesn't click the live button while it's on the bed.
I don't know exactly what he was in his phone doing prior to going live, because I'm thinking like maybe there was like a pre recording that they were doing amongst you know, the young woman and him, or was he on Instagram, try to upload it, insist I have no idea, but I have never accidentally gone live, and y'all know i'd.
Be on the ground.
That's right.
I think it's weird. I don't think it's possible. So okay to say you love Shannon Shape, but you don't believe this story.
It's okay.
I don't believe the story out of it. I'm sorry, I do not believe it.
That is fine.
I do.
Get that off me, man, get that off.
You got that in the context of this.
Story, you please please be very particular about what you're saying.
About people.
Now.
One of the things I did want to mention because the clip was short. It was like a minute and sixteen second seed. The clip was short. You gotta be particular in this story a minute sixteen seconds about so a lot of people were like yo. He was literally like growling at something I was making heavy he was.
It was like whoa.
It was intense.
I know that Bed hate to see him coming. Oh, you gotta be careful about what you say in this segment.
But another thing is they were joking about it, right, and he said, yeah, you lasted show.
He was like, now, I was twenty minutes in before hred.
So you were twenty five. Don't play with him, So you was twenty.
Five minutes and then you threw your phone on the band and then you went back in.
Then he said, he said, he was so in it, knee deep.
She probably had the ice after like how you do when you play the game, like you know, you haven't swear on the night that he said they were talking about she needed to. I well, they were jokingly saying the ice after whatever, but he didn't say that.
I watched it.
I played all the for you after this because I didn't you have the audio now, I didn't know we could do that one.
There was a lot of audio. He was in ice.
They were joking about her.
Yet you can't play the all You can't play the audio of him moaning, but you can play the audio of them talking about it on nightcap, and all our producers should know that.
I didn't even bring it up, so don't put that on them, okay anyway. But what what we do have though, is them joking about how long he was going, because even Gilly was making fun of the effect of how huh said, we.
Got that but he got to go right no, not how long did you last?
You know, but you gotta work on your cardio because you was you was breathing heavy. You shouldn't be breathing that. You shouldn't be breathing that heavy. So we got to work on your cardio. So ojo when you lift weights, we got to get you on the car.
Ocho. I was was already d deep for about twenty five right. You're kind of short to in that too, I mean you was that back? What a minute? Minute minute fasl No oh no, they just ain't no YouTube short but it's a full feature.
See.
Okay, so listen, listen.
So like you said, so he said he was in it for twenty five minutes already, right, so the phone came on after all of that.
Yes, so what it seems like he was in it for twenty five he picked up. That don't make any sense.
And Lauren, you used to work at TMZ, I did, now, I used to work for Windy WEBSI tell me if I'm wrong here.
Okay, there was a sex tape protocol.
Okay, my line let me go on live, let me go on line like, meaning that when when celebrities were getting ready to leaky sex tapes. They would go to TMZ's or people like Wendy and it'd be like a step by step thing on.
How to do it and even how to act after it came out.
Right in my life, well, I've never so with the Kim Kardashian one, right, there was no they didn't come to TMZ at the time and be like, how do we do it? But that kind of set a precedent because with Kim Kardashian and Chris Jenner, they acted like they didn't know where to take came from. They acted like they didn't sell it. Now we found out later that all that to a site right there, twenty twenty four. Right, even if this was playing stage, what does this do for him? Besides this one little moment. News happens fast these days, and.
I would hope that the good brother Shannon Shop salute Shannon Shop dropping saying shop is a phenomenal year. I would hope that the good Brother Shannon Shop is not letting social media comments get to him to the point where he would stage something like that. I don't personally see.
Him doing anything.
You're talking about the comments w their questioning his sexuality. Yes, you think he did all this because of that, because they've been.
Saying that, say that I said, I would hope that he's not. Well, that's the narrative. Yeah, because Shannon, here's the thing. If people want to believe something about you, they are going to continue to believe it. You know why, because you're successful. If you want people to stop criticizing you, if you want people to stop having an opinion about you, then you have to stop being successful.
And I know you're not going to do that, you know what?
I know?
Now, what's that?
From start to finish with forore play and then the wrap up? He got a good thirty minutes in him. I am very surprised.
That's why are you surprised? Because I'll be playing with us older we do why?
I don't know?
Thirty minutes ain't that bad?
Now?
I people have said an hour, then I'd be like, cap, listen, is that cap?
The way?
Y'all heard the video which we cannot play. You hear all the kissing after them big list. They might have went for a second round, so he might.
Have been good out.
You should not be shaming you should not be shaming him for anything you heard in that bedroom because you wasn't supposed to hear it. Whatever happens in people's bedrooms is what happens in people's bedrooms.
They're not shaming, that's his thing, nobody.
They're more so.
They're more so kind of playing with them a little bit, because I like, this is corny. If it was stage, That's why he kept having to say, I didn't do this on purpose. And then after after this happened, immediately to his Instagram account posted my page was happed, he had to say, no, it wasn't that.
He said a team did that? Your team? That whoever did that on your team?
Is?
That was so corny to say you're hacked in twenty twenty four, How do you hack Instagram live? I'm not saying it can't be done, but how Yeah, well could you imagine the sounds that come out of your bedroom? I just hope that you I just hope that he's not letting social media comments get to him to the point where he would try to prove something to these digital d heads. So long as as long as he's successful, they're gonna have something to say.
We live right now?
What's the noise is that come out? Room?
Charlm one Man Donkey of the Day is up next. Okay, we need Joe Biden to come to the front of the congregation.

Then? Well?
Sexy Red Donkey of Today for Thursday, September twelfth goes to President Joe Biden.
Listened.
The Vice President has a slogan, and the slogan is we are not going back, and that slogan can be interpreted all types of ways, but one of the things Democrats should not go back to his cowardly politics and terrible messaging. What happened yesterday while President Biden was at an event commemorating the twenty third anniversary of the nine eleven attacks was a form of those cowardly politics and terrible messaging. See President Biden decided to wear a red Donald Trump hat. I cannot make this kind.
Of stuff up. Let's go to Sky News Australia for the report.
Pleasing se well, the US President Joe Biden has been spotted wearing a red Donald Trump campaign hat speaking at a nine to eleven commemoration event this morning.
There it is right there.
The President was videoed as he wore a cap that raids Trump twenty twenty four.
Lord have mercy, President Biden.
President offered a hat to a Trump supporter in the crowd while speaking, who in return gave the President that Maga hat in exchange. A Trump support account on the social media platforms posted an image of Biden wearing that hat, thanking him for his support.
Donald Trump would never okay a day after your vice president has a phenomenal debate against the former president of the United States of America, Donald Trump. You missed the president decided to put on a hat that says Trump twenty twenty four. Now, I'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary, but that doesn't seem like a show of support for your vice president to me.
This race is going to be tight. Okay, This race can.
Be swung by just the tiniest fraction of votes, which won't farewell for the Democrats because Trump is going to challenge the results of the election.
We know this.
Don't act surprised when it happens.
Okay, They're going to be Republican elected officials all over the country who will refuse to certify the results of the election. Donald Trump's Supreme Court, in my opinion, in light of so many of their recent rulings, including but not limited to, the presidential Immunity ruling, which gives presidents absolute immunity from criminal prosecution, and light of rulings like that, I believe they would overturn the results of the election.
So Democrats' only defense against that is large voter turnout. That's it.
By the way, that's always their only defense against voter suppression because they can't get things like the John Lewis Voting Right sack or the Freedom to Vote Act passed. So when you know you need that kind of turnout, why is the sitting president? Would you wear a hat in support of a person who is the op of your running mate? He is an op in regards to your administration? You, President Biden, you call him a threat to democracy.
Okay.
If he's a threat to democracy, why are you wearing paraphernilia that supports him being president?
In twenty twenty four you said you did it as a gesture of unity.
You can't call someone a threat to democracy and then wear their power for Nilia and want to be unified with them.
Okay.
Nobody who opposed Nazis whatever wears something with a SWASTI ca on it. And President Biden not only ward, he took a picture in it. Now that picture is all over social media. It's gonna be in TV commercials, digital ads. Donald Trump's campaign immediately, as you heard in the news report, thanked Joe for the support. Another post from them said Kamala did so bad in last night's debate. Joe Biden put on a trumpet. This is why you gotta keep Joe Biden in the basement, right, We not going back. Okay, since the VP has been the nominee, since she's been at the top of the ticket, you see all the Democrats who have political courage and who are actually good at messaging. Front and center. You see Governor Josh Shapiro, You see Governor Gretchen Whitma. You see Secretary Pete. You see Congresswoman Jasmine Cockrey, You Jasmine Crockett, you see Congresswoman Ayana Presley.
Okay, just to name a few.
These individuals have political courage, they aren't cowards at all, and they have very clear, relatable messaging. Joe Biden represents the regime that simply doesn't have the courage to stand up to the bullies. A day after we watched the VP bully the bully, the President of the United States of America is back trying to get along with the bully. He wants a gesture of unity with the bully. That's terrible messaging. Okay, let me tell you something, President Biden. If Donald Trump gets back in office, he's putting you in jail.
All right.
He's already valwed to prosecute his political opponents. Trump wrote on social media just this past weekend. When I win, those people that cheated will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, which will including long term prison sitizens.
And please beware that, please beware that this legal.
Exposure extends to lawyers, political operatives, donors, illegal voters, and corrupt election officials. This man is going to lock your ass up if he becomes president again. And you wearing his hat, you wearing his campaign paraphanelia. This is why Democrats have to keep Joe Biden and hidened. Every time Joe Biden steps outside, his GPS tells him he's arrived, but it's never where he meant to go. Okay, I don't want him talking to anyone. I don't want him answering any questions. Can you imagine Joe Biden having a press conference right now, having to navigate his way through tough questions like what's today's date? And then after Biden took a picture in the hat, he took a picture with a bunch of kids with Trump paraphernalia on.
Look.
I'm all for bipartisan togetherness, okay, but not when you're trying to win an election and Somebody please tell President Biden this isn't a Republican party.
He came up with.
Okay, it's MAGA. I don't know why Republicans just gave the party to MAGA, but they did.
And I don't know.
Maybe President Biden thinks MAGA stands for make America geriatric again.
Okay. He's sick of the disrespect.
The old people, and he wants you to know Bengo Knights and IHP Senior Citizen Specials will never go out of style. Make America geriatric again? Because who needs fast Wi Fi when you've got a rocking chair and a good story. The moral of the story is, President Biden, it's time for you to move like a VP for these last fifty days and just be quiet. Okay, please get President Joe Biden the biggest he hulled.
Come on now.
He couldn't stop for the babies. No, Charlie, the kids.
No, not wearing that mag hat. No, no, watch. Let me let me show how serious it is. Chula man, can you wear my Giants hat right now? Boy? Please see if I had a light in here, I'll set it on fire. And it's just a football team. Your mind.
He looked agaft for a lighter too.
I saw you, you know, when I was a young lad. I think that's the right.
When I was a young lad, right in nineteen and ten, when I was a young lady, I had a Mark Ripping. My mama bought me a Mark Ripping sweatshirt from Family Dollar. Mark Ripping used to be the quarterback for the Washington Redskins. See, I'm from the country right mons gorn to South Carolina. So we used to have to burn our trash like we didn't have the trash pickups, so we used to have to burn our trash outside.
Oh sorry, so that trash was outside burning.
My daddy took that sweatshirt and threw that sweatshirt on the trash, screw through it.
Right on that fire.
Okay, so you're not gonna wear my giants don't wear ops paraphernalia period.
Okay.
I just keep hearing an instrumental. This is my song. Okay, that has nothing to do with nothing money.
You know, I just noticed something, But I mind.
My boyave me alone, hear me.
You know.
What you think? I know this, Lauren? This has nothing donkey days over? What do you think.
I have been?
Yes?
Yes, because I need my braids done. My girl canceled on me, but she's coming up Saturday. Though she coming up Saturday, I am my baby hairs are full grown over here like that is insane. Just happy for growth, though.
You're not gonna believe. Not that new girl you ain't happy for Let me tell you something. Yesterday furry I heard. I'm sitting there watching Lauren, and Lauren goes, damn, my headdress is just canceled on me. And as soon as she said that, her head just turned furry like I mean, it's just like all the new growth. I saw it come in in like seven seconds did.
It's gonna look so good though when it's freshly pressed.
Well, what about today?
Today is getting it? They didn't even know until you said so. It's not true until you said so, it's not true.
All right, gals, Right, all right, gals, when we come back running for president of the United States representing the Green Party.
Yeah, I was trying to hit your head where.
Your new doctor Jill Stein will be joining us in her running mill, doctor Butcher where, and Angela Urie will be in here with us for that. Yes, it's gonna get spicy, So tune in it's the Breakfast Club, Goo Morning, the Breakfast Club.
Bolling.
Everybody is dj n V, Jess hilarious, Charlamage the guy.
We are the Breakfast Club. Laurla Rossa is filling in for Jess. And we have our sister Angela Ra with us this morning, helping us out now. And we got some special guests joining us. We have doctor Jill Stein welcome, hello, and doctor Butcher where good.
Morning, Good morning in the building.
Y'all are the Green Party presidential candidate and running mate. Tell the people what is the Green Party and how are they different from the Democrats and the republic.
Well, for one thing, we don't take money from billionaires and bankers in APAC and Wall Street and the war machine. So we're a people powered party. That's what makes us totally different. That's what liberates us to actually tell it like it is and to stand up and fight for the people, for the healthcare that we need as a human right, for the housing that we need. Because half half of America right now, half of all renters, are struggling to keep a roof over their heads. We've got really critical needs that we need to be meeting. And that's what the Green Party is about actually fighting for people, planet and peace over profit.
We're a candidate in twenty twelve, twenty sixteen, right, what's the difference in twenty twenty four.
Oh man, It's the difference between night and day.
You know.
It's the thing about being ahead of the curve and then the curve catches up to you. Curve is catching up to us on all the things. Really, our agenda, in fact, the agenda that we've been putting forward since twenty twelve really is the progressive democratic agenda right now, Healthcare is a human right, housing is human rights, reparations they took the Green jail.
Yeah, if you're not planning to win an election, we said we wasn't planning what I'm saying.
It's not the only exactly.
Candidate. To hear that from a candidate, it kind of gives like, well, why are you here?
Then it does not It does sound like, may I go in on this please?
I know that the deck is stacked against us, but this right here is part of our strategy, right because what happens is by appearing in a form like this, what is going to happen is we're going to get on the base stage and when this woman goes up on the debate state exactly well, who knows. But the point is is that as soon as we are in the mainstream media we have a response.
We will be doing a response meet the qualifications for.
Correct qualifications established by an exclusionary UH framework. His goal is to silence and throw off the ballot. That's options for voters threshold and people are saying if people are screaming for other choices, the American people are explicitly on records in absolutely unprecedented numbers saying.
We want all the choices.
And not only do people want the choices, they want their choices.
I do.
I do believe in the third party.
I think we need other options, But it does seem like you all have a lot more smoke for the Democratic Party.
And I just wonder why, because they're the ones that are suing to keep us off the ballot. They're the ones that are trying to knock us off the ballot in Georgia. They are the ones that are doing everything they can to keep us from coming. If we were not a problem for them, AOC wouldn't be you know, doing her a little sorry attack ads, you know against us. You know that we came back at so so the Democrats are attacking us, we're responding in kind, just to be plain about this. The reason why they don't want doctor Joe Stein on a debate stage is because she will be able to look a team a red and say this is a party that is led by the domestic terrorists and a criminal.
She can look to Kamala Harris and I'm.
Sorry, hold on no, it's it's honest to God, no disret expect to be to be to be perfectly honest. It's just the way that I had gotten used to pronouncing the name because it resembles a name that is used in West Africa.
Point of getting it right there, Absolutely, yeah, you have to rather on the team with the other.
You gotta absolutely I will not make that mistake again. I'm big, holds me listen, richly deserved. And if I act a full check my black ass, that's fine. Like like no joke, Like I expect to be held accountable by my people, whether those.
Are black folks or Muslims. So that is all love and it does all welcome.
The reason is is that we have this aspirational hope that is related to like black achievement and black power and black excellence. And it was weaponized in the Obama presidency. But let's so let me it be something else.
Could it be I know her, yes.
Could it be that she is someone who listens to voices on all sides. Could it be that when the opportunity, you could turn your hand. But I've been know you can turn your head. But I've been in the room doctor where doctor, you're not?
I was.
I was not, but I'm just saying I was.
I was actually not turning my back. I was looking to see what this response with the response.
On the other side of the room, just over engaged because I can't I can't see if I can't see the people there behind me.
No dis We're all having healthy conversation, but nobody against anybody.
Ever again last making me an enemy because of the.
Strategy, because I knew you was kind of getting your way to this, and it's very disappointing to see you do that and get.
What are we missing? How ad I would definitely.
Like to hear.
I'd love to know how many members, how many voting members in the United States resent?
So we have been blocked. The Democrats throw us off the ballot, They interfere, they put spies and infiltrators on our campaign.
How many voting members compare us?
No?
No, no, no, no, no, answer the question.
How many voting members in the United States House of Representatives Republican, Democrat and Independent?
How many total?
How many total are there?
What is it?
Six hundred some?
No?
No, it's four hundred and thirty five plus one hundred in the Senate.
Right, one hundred, yes, I said House to Representatives, one hundred in the Senate. Of those four hundred and thirty five in the House of the one hundred and how many just one moment. I'm not trying to put you on the defense. I'm just saying this because the Heill is my passion. That's where I grew up as a professional. Right, how many of them are Green Party members?
Okay, I know where you're going. I want to show that the Greens are powerless. I want to make the point. Well, this is usually this is usually part of that argument.
What was the point I'm going for? Before you rebutted, doctor Stein, what was the point?
I want to know?
How many voting members of the Green Party in the House or the Senate currently exists?
Currently there are none. However, if you look at the American people, you know how many are voting against the genocide hardly any how many are voting for healthcare as a human right, which would actually save us half a trillion dollars a year. We the people are not represented, so not being there is not a strike against the Green Party?
Okay, and that's fine. How many of them right now? Based on and I caught it a wish this It wasn't to be offensive.
Is I have a wishes?
I wanted an ideal?
Man.
What I'm saying is it's not dismissive here my heart right, but.
Mispronouncing of Crommelly here my heart of because there are none that currently exists.
That means you got to have allies. Oh are your allies in the house?
See if I would have just slow down a minute, I had guns conversation. Right, we try to we got to do basic.
But how many before the allies, your allies in the House and the sidate that would help to get this very aggressive agenda you have. I said to you all with a lot of what you have there. What I'm talking about is as a political strategy is.
Let me tell you on day one. Let me tell you on day one, On day one, we stop the genocide. Okay, there's a lot of allies, so there's a lot that your your question, however, denies the power that the president has as the executive The president has a fair amount of executive authority to actually begin the process. So that process begins with stopping the genocide on day one, which happens with a phone call. It's happened before. This absolutely will happen, especially if we invoke the weapons and part on issues where you have executive authority. What you need our allies among the people.
All Right, we have more with doctor Jill Stein and doctor Butch where when we come back. They're running for President of the United States representing the Green Parties.
So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning, warning everybody, it's dej n V Jesslarry is Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lawn La Ross filling in for Jests and Angela Rai has joined us. Today we're still kicking it with doctor Jill Stein and doctor Butch where. They're running for President of the United States representing the Green Party.
Angela doctor syn In two thousand and two, you ran for governor of Massachusetts and you lost. In two thousand and four, you ran for state representative in Massachusetts and you lost. In two thousand and six, you ran for Secretary of the Commonwealth, you also lost. In twenty ten, you ran for governor again, this time against the first black governor in Massachusetts, Deval Patrick.
You lost.
In twenty twelve, you ran against this country's first black president with and you got just less than one half of one percent of the votes cast. In twenty sixteen, you ran against Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, losing uh significantly with one point for a million votes cast for you but zero Electoral College votes, which I agree with you all needs to be abolished. But one hundred and thirty six million people voted and you lost that election as well.
So I want to know what the pathway to Big three is for you at twenty four Can now.
I'd like to Can I respond?
Go ahead?
I would like to respond. This is the framing of the empire and the oligarchy and white supremacy and colonialism, which wants you to feel that resistance is futile. This is about voter blaming.
Let me no, no, no, no, no, no, no, not.
What you're not going to say is that I'm ever im parading anything at the hands of white supremacy.
This is something that's very different. This is me asking you again. It's a bible.
I'm just pulling out.
The same talking talking to this.
This is not DNC talking boys. This is my research, and sadly for you, the research says you have never won an election. You have been successful in pushing forward certain agendas. Absolutely advocate.
You never want an.
Election one party strategy. So in order to win, you know, a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step, and in this case it's many steps. Let me point out, let me point out, please, you need to compare the Green Party, not with those who are taking money from Apex and the war machine and Wall Street. You've got to compare us, excuse me, you have to compare us to other grassrooms.
Non, she said, iacy and that's what that was my disappointment.
Finish, please please, let please finish, Please thank you. You're trying to compare us to the Democratic Party and the Republican Party with their billions of dollars, or to the Working Families Party, which is not under attack as a people powered party, not taking money from Wall Street or the war machine or a pack we are on very different turf. But if you compare us to all other similar parties which are not taking corporate money, which are not bought and paid for, which can stand up against endless war, against homelessness, against the climate crisis, against the housing and the healthcare crisis. Campaigns like us, who can actually stand up for the people, they last exactly one to two election cycles and then they're gone. So we are actually the strong, the pillar of strength among people powered politics. And what have we done over that period? We have established the Green Party as the vehicle for people powered politics. We have also launched the agenda which has been adopted by the Progressive Democrats given lip service, not actually advanced. But whether you're looking at healthcare as a human right launched by Ralph Nader as a national issue, reparations launched by our campaign as a national issue in twenty twelve, if you look at free public higher education, bailing out students and ending student debt, you had Congress bailing out the crooks on Wall Street who crashed the economy, but not bailing out homeowners, not bailing out students. That agenda was launched by us, So I think it's not fair, and it is the talking point of AOC the other day, who is taking her marching orders from the DNC. This is exactly what they say, that we are only running for presidents.
Color as parenting talking points instead of us looking at basic math. The one thing that AOC has done that you haven't is win some elections. And so when I'm asking you, but what I'm trying any elections? That is one point. If you want to tell me, let's talk about it more question. If you want to talk about fifteen, you can do that, not by running.
Necessarily for Douglass as no.
Secretary of the Commonwealth candidate, as a gubernatorial candidate, as a presidential candy.
Lacking what you consider going about the different.
Way instead of telling me, I'm parating white supremacist talking. So I can tell you you're the facts, you can tell the numbers are not on your side.
Remarks yes you know, on your campaign, and then the Honorable Angelo ri you can in yours.
I asked question.
Okay, So, as Frederick Douglas said, power concedes nothing without a demand. It never hasn't, it never will. Like so many other Greens. I came from the world of social activism, the Green parties. We don't need to change people's minds. People's minds have been changed by the desperate state of our economy, by you know, the incredible injustices, by the police state that we're.
Living in, et cetera.
At that point, it's like a curtain went up for me and I saw, oh my god, this is not a matter of having to change people's minds. People are already there. It's just the people are denied knowing that there are options that actually empower us.
That's your website for people who want that up. Thank you, it is.
It is Jill Stein twenty four dot com. And yes, check us out because this election is full of what shall we say, one eighties and unexpected developments, and we the people deserve.
To be heard.
We are demanding to be heard, and we potentially have the power if only the Vote to Stop Genocide stood up to say I will not hold my vote my nose and vote for genocide. That vote, or the eighty seven million people who do not have adequate healthcare, or the fifty percent of renters who are struggling, who are just one or two paychecks away from being evicted and being out in the street. If those people stand up to vote for what we actually can have right now, this election will be turned on its head. And if we don't get to the White House, but we start on the road to the White House, that too, is.
A huge win.
We deserve an America in a world that works for all of us that is within our reach if we demand it.
Well, thank you for joining us, ladies and gentlemen, doctor Jill Stein, Doctor thank you so much.
Great Angela debate. But it was good.
It was It was great, that kind of great.
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
Make sure you go on YouTube and watch the full conversation between doctor Jill Stein and doctor butch Ware and myself and Envy and Lauren and Angela Raie. Okay, the conversation is like an hour and twenty minutes interchange. You know, sometimes when you play things over the air, it's only what eight minutes, sixteen minutes and total exactly.
You know, so you don't get the full just of the conversation. It was a very healthy conversation.
Yes, Jill got a chance to say what she needed to say. And I just didn't say child please for no reason?
You shut up? Ain't nobody thinking about your head?
Identify as a little sess on, little spike.
I was really protected, Bay. I was protecting bang over there.
Me for what?
Because he thought he was saying child please to you?
You say child please to you, defended by yourself, please to he was saying child please to the Democratic National Convention please.
You know what?
Ever, since you've been dressing like a stud, you've been bugging a little crazy, dressing like a stunt. All this stud appreciation was protected bang over there. But anyway, let's get to jest with the next with Lauren Rosa use.
Real weather, Las just carrobbing Moore just don't do no line, don't do.
Nobody world Why jes worldwide mess man.
On the breakfast clubs, the coaches ships, Lauren Laurens.
And I got the mess Talk Tommy real quick before we get into the next topic. It is now eight fifty six, almost an hour since we talked about She and Sharp and he is still trending number one on Google Jesus Entertainment trends world wide.
I don't know what that means, but I think it's good.
That means everybody's talking about him across to Search and Yes. And let me tell y'all, I want to make sure we got this same. When I talk about the ice comments, I want you all to hear him talk about how she might have had ice herself.
Take a listen, you don't she might have.
Had to put a little ice packed down there, but she's good otherwise. You know, you play a hard game, you ice. Basketball players ice. They need the ice their ankles, the elbowls and stuff like that, you know, up and down football players.
Okay, Yo, Like when I watched it, that part I may be turning off. I'm like, they're too old for these little jokes.
You know what I'm saying to.
Realize, maybe I should have been realized.
What as I get older, you need ice on your knees.
No, we need to be talking amongst each other. We don't need to be putting the podcast. Wait, some things we just need to be talking about.
This.
We need, we need some of them.
Sometimes, you got we talked about earlier how people have been there's been you know, people feeling like Shannon Sharp was gay and that some people think that this is why he did all this.
Now cho actually addressed it on the show A.
Listen, and this is and this is a funny thing about it.
Now, you remember all the people talking trash and saying whatever they had to say, trying to assassinate your character, that you might be this, you might be this.
So hell.
I mean, they're sitting back, I'm thinking, Hey, it was a goddamn Michelle. It wasn't a Michael. It wasn't a Michelle. It was you know, it wasn't a Michael.
It was a Michelle.
That audio also goes so crazy on TikTok and.
He said, assassinate your character. Assassinate so hilarious. Not assassinate your character is trying to assassinate your character by saying you gay once again. Like I said last, I would have hoped that the good brother Shannon Sharp is not letting social media comments get to him to the point where he would stay because.
He said he cried because of this. He said he actually cried because of this, because of just listen.
You can laugh at the situation and the mistake that you made.
And I don't cry enough. O yoetears you cried, Yeah, because I'm embarrassed. I'm embarrassed. I'm embarrassed for my circle. I'm embarrassed for the people there. There are people, not everybody, but there are people out there that hold me in high regard and look to me as a beacon, as a role model.
And I let those people down. But I'm human, yes, sir. Although I try to strive for perfection, there's no such thing. So he cried over the video.
Yes, I thought comments, But I mean that's because you're anticipating people's reaction to it and things that might happen from it. But not, I mean everybody in the US. These Google trends are in the US, not worldwide. Everybody in the US now they know. So you don't got to cry no more. It's all good.
Can I say one thing just in general to everybody out there. You wake up with yourself. You go to sleep with yourself, right, You wake up with yourself every morning, You go to sleep with yourself every night.
You know you.
Nobody should be able to tell tell you about you, especially if you know the truth about yourself. Can't nobody tell me anything about me because I know me. You don't know me, especially a bunch of digital d heads on social media.
Now key going to sleep with Michelle, not Michael, and Michelle be telling him about itself. Now let's move on because I want to know you. We also got to get to Kendrick. Kendrick was a big thing yesterday too.
You a gay stud, Yes, and I don't even know how that's possible because all day but you are against dud.
Go ahead, continue, Okay, So Kendrick, he dropped the song yesterday, but it was only available on his Instagram. I'm not for sure if it's anywhere else now, but it was only available on his Instagram at the time. And it's called walk Them Down, called party sorry, party, party, Yes, the party that I'm sorry.
Yes.
So the first let's take a listen to the first line of the song, which is the walk them down line. Do what I just reference?
Why I argue with these clowns? If the circus is will at work? Just walk that man down that adult heavy one slid.
It's love, a tough love sometimes got a resultant violence. If you're parading, letting me what that was giving truth to the youth the Graveyardist company, just tell us what're casket the truths say, party bore them? Just them tell me what are you're working for? The Glorify scamming you'll get chipped off with this credit card.
Yeah, and the song is not on Apple Music, so it's still on the Instagram.
Yeah.
He talks about so he talking about being disappointed in the media.
He talked about the Walk the Down line, which I think was a shot that Drake basically saying like I've already quieted him.
That was good for all the people.
He There was a line where he says that he would rather have Nipsey back than a lot of the people that's out here talking about you know, people just just be.
On bs and they're not real.
He talked about women having it tough right now because they tougher than a lot of the men out here.
Yeah, he's no record records dope, it's very dope. I don't like you said learn. I don't believe the record is just about Drake. I think he's talking about just the culture. You know, people in the world, society, the media, street media. And I'm gonna tell you something, Ken, You're gonna drive yourself crazy, Okay. The only thing you can do is continue to be the change you want to see in the world, because this ain't stopping no time soon.
It's just not we're too far gone.
Like God himself would have to come back, and even then people wouldn't believe, but they would not. Ai Triump could start Wu Tang Triump could start playing and a big token comes from the sky and Jesus himself.
Could come down and they would make him have to prove himself.
That's right, all right, Well, walking on water, that's Ai, walking on water, that's ice all right.
