Michael Rapaport Talks Trash On Trump, LeBron James & Jay-Z's 4:44

[Music] you're watching The Breakfast Club [Music] morning everybody is DJ envy Angela Yee Charlemagne to God we are The Breakfast Club we got a special guest in the building oh man one of our greatest white allies absolutely the best [ __ ] on the planet ha ha to you yes yes Michael Rapaport thanks for having me thanks I'm glad to be here it's my first time here with you guys I was something with you I did serious with you yes yes yes yes I don't know if it was both of you but I know I interviewed you and I never met you sure no no I'm glad to be it's funny you called me ask because you are notoriously but and I think that's I think that's like a kinship because I think we like sort of game recognizes game and like sort of antagonistic personalities and all itself but uh if you use your powers for good though absolutely and I think that you few use your power I think you have to sort of get to know your powers and then sort of use them for good yes which which I think you've done and I think that you know I've done but it just sort of fell into it with like you know the videos and you know that recently because of all the I never cared or thought twice about politics ever at all never at all until this is why you just you don't care you just speak your mind and most people might be get a little scared if they're going into acting or doing movies the thing I don't care about that I don't I don't care about that and you know I mean the thing the thing for me about like where we are at politically and it's Trump and his whole crew his wife his kids his daughters they're all guilty as far as I'm concerned um you know he's put us he's put our back against the wall um and I think he's made even like the minut problems into like it's it's him it's like him versus everything so like did the kneeling which started off with the police brutality's opposes it is become like we got a the bigger problem is we need to get this guy out right before we can even start thinking of the small problems and it's crazy and you know as in New Yorker growing up here in New York City you know I don't care if Donald Trump was a Democrat to the fifth power he wouldn't have won New York anyway like you can't win your own City because we grew up watching we've known him we've seen him in puffy parties in the 90s like I've seen him chasing skirt I've seen him on TV I've snow gonna do SH you know he's a three-card Monte player 40 40 seconds and white patches are due going you lost 20 bucks like he's his little hustler dude and Steve Ben was his other dude and then they run off and they take and you know like he's a he's a dog just like De Niro said De Niro Robert De Niro warned us last year and everybody got open he said he's a dog he's a con he's a liar he's a mutt I like to punch him in the face and everybody was like oh my god and what he said was right and and as bad as I thought it was gonna be and I and I imagine most people he has over exceeded how bad he could possibly be and and and he's lowered the bar I think going forward of the respect of the presidency because let's say Joe Schmo Democrat anit wins next time the people the white crackers who in my opinion is racist is Donald Trump is reason that people are mad at Solomon good things you think you know what they should be made and when people could people say what do you say crackers I'm saying the flavorless white unseasoned bland chicken you know the rebranded you know racist mutt I can't curse this okay okay [ __ ] yes you know like and the people and his racist as Donald Trump is proven as as he is the white crackers that voted for him he looks down upon them even more than he does the blacks and Mexicans and everybody else he he thinks they're the dumbest of all and they're the ones sheering for him and he's placating them and all that [ __ ] you know and and I I didn't know we were gonna get this out but it's like once you start talking about him it's like this guy and his whole group all of them and I start with his wife to she's guilty his kids are guilty his daughter's guilty that the America's leading a homophone Mike Pence is guilty they're all guilty I mean if his wife had any ounce of decency she would leave him now and then she she should run for president she has no pride no snow self-respect his daughter nothing all of them there they're the lowest form and he's the ringleader and everyone around him is just as bad the best thing I like about my girlhood is now is that when I grew up down south in South Carolina my white neighbor would call the prejudiced races white people crack us mm-hmm so you have to make that distinction when you are a white ally yes it's okay to call the white people who deserve it crackers period and you know only only white people to get offended by you saying crackers or confused by me saying crackers or the crackers those only ones like eight it's not about color it it's it's like the soulless white whatever you want to go home the devil the these dumbasses in Alabama that are sitting up there watching this animal the crazies think about his speech that hour and 15 minute speech in Alabama as I watch it I just happened to be in front of the TV and I caught the whole thing the the famous you know get up you son of a [ __ ] speech he spoke for you guys talk live on the radio you just gave me water mmm-hmm I watched him speak for an hour and I think it was an hour and 15 minutes he didn't break a sweat and he never once even drink a sip of water he's a savage you guys do the radio for an hour 15 to take 20-minute breaks you go take a pee you drinkin water this is an animal he didn't break a sweat and he didn't take a sip order that's a savage that's not human you get nervous at all because you do so much trim rhetoric which is true but you know it got to be a backlash or you don't care you know I've had backlash it's on the inner now I haven't had any anybody you know approached me in in real life you know my wife she gets nervous about that and I don't even want to put that out there as far as you know Instagram and you know DMS and you know people talking all that [ __ ] I'm like yo for you you're you're in my DM it's like you're a dude right in my DMS I'm at your you know so none of that [ __ ] bothers me I mean you know in New York City where where the primarily because I'm here in Los Angeles in LA you know you're you're sort of everybody sort of in their little hub of their car and in New York City I'm from New York like I mean I don't think about it that much I mean it's crossed my mind because pretty much for my wife she like you know you got a you know and tone it down and you know like she gets nervous just just about that because you never know when you could strike a nerve with with a crazy person vibe to seventies and eighties in New York you'll be fine oh yeah New York is the New York I feel more safe here than I do anywhere in the world I mean like walking the streets in New York I feel safer here than I do walking my dog in California just because of the way the layout because in New York you know god forbid you get into something like you're around people in LA you're like in the nice neighborhoods you're just there it's you and whatever that situation is bleed by the way thank you I have no idea you were so antagonist at growing up with the things that you've said in Tennant even the author of the book was like it was damn near impossible for him to even sit down with you to get to writing and you guys actually had to you had to email your stories in well that way the letter from the editor I wrote it right it was you know self-effacing cuz I grew up I grew up in New York and but do things really happen that you put in the letter from the editor those have all happen that's me that that that's anybody who knows me like that knows like has had lunch of me or like I spent any sort of time when we were I'm comfortable with them that that's me I'm like I'm I'm a handful and I'm definitely you know I've been known to be disruptive I got kicked out of public school in New York City in the third grade and it was always like I wasn't like a fighter I wasn't setting buildings on fire I wasn't talking about things he did like it's a note from the editor and it's writing about myself being like how [ __ ] up it was to work with Michael Ratley real stories that he did these days are you just they're all yeah that's all sort of like you know that's that's what it is I mean that's that's that's that's how I can be that's how spoken people were disruptive in school and that's one thing I got you must have been a [ __ ] man yeah I mean but it's like I was disruptive that was the thing I would all get in trouble for being disruptive talking yes yeah talking like a big mouth and antagonistic in uh and and there's no like I'm sure there's no like great likes cuz people like well what did you do I'm like uh you know and then when I look back on and it was just disruptive and I looked at the report cards and and I put some of my report cards in the book it was like he's disruptive he he doesn't sit still he's disrupting the class he's disrupting the students and you know and that's and and you know I've always known that about myself but as you get a little older and you start when I was writing the book and all this whole sort of foray into sports and sort of like outside of me as an actor you know I just was like you know this is who I am and with social media and like you know all that stuff like I'm just like yo this is who I am like there's like a lot of actors we all sort of grew up imagining us to be the next DeNiro in the next Brando and we're gonna be like James Dean and you know Vail ourself and mystery and I'm like y'all there's no hi I'm not gonna front because a lot of actors you know like in real life you know you see them they come on here they're soft-spoken and they're weird and then out there they're smoking weed and talking [ __ ] and all that stuff I'm just like this is who I am and and and for me it's a it's always been challenge like you know I'm gonna be Who I am in real life and then I'm gonna my skill level as an actor as we like you're gonna see me get down doing that and you differentiate what you think is real what you sports though you wanted to be an NBA I want you I wanted to be in the NBA my whole like that's like kept me out of trouble growing up cuz like III never I wasn't really into girls until I was like 16 I was in the girls I I got some [ __ ] I wasn't chasing girls and and anything that cuz like I was like I'm gonna be in the NBA so you don't smoke you don't drink you know you just like that's what I wanted to do and that I didn't even come close to that but that that had me I had a goal so it was a good not even closer you you couldn't believe you were that good and more I mean I could play okay but you know when you get to especially in New York and in the in the 80s and the 90s like you know I grew up around like dudes that could play Kenny Anderson Malik Sealy you know nameless dudes that were like just they could play and and you know when I when you get to be 16 slinky I was good when I was like 11 12 13 14 but then you start to get like people are like 6 4 and this dude 6 6 and this dude's you know and like there's a the gap changes quick when you get to around 14 15 and I knew I was just not at that level but you know I just I always I always played and it kept me out of trouble and and growing up in New York playing ball on the streets and where I wound up playing cuz I'm from in hand but you know I was the best in my neighborhood something when I was started going to Brownsville started a whole playing ball like at 12 it will open my whole world different skill set do different skills it but also like him like different skill set but different world view because I'm from Manhattan and my best friend is from Howard projects in Brownsville and when you're 12 when you go out there and this is 82 and it is the treacherous 80s and it's you know like they would laugh at me cuz when gunshots will go off I'd be like what the [ __ ] you know and no one would it was I'm you immune to it and I'm like what you know like as a 12 year old 13 year you look that's shocking but just all the stuff that I got to see going around New York City playing ball I'm blessed to have had that and and it informed me and and informed Who I am and that with you know growing up around hip-hop and all that stuff it as I get older I really look back on and I'm so proud and and and fortunate that Eric's had that exploration that my parents were like go ahead do whatever you want to do you know like they kind of wanted me out of the [ __ ] house well got you into acting cuz your daddy your dad was a radio personality my dad was a radio my dad wasn't a person he was a the manager did the general manager of wk2 you disco 92 this go-round wk2 so so in the 70s it was mellow rock and then in 79 my father was the manager of the station and they went from mellow rock to disco and it was big huge they went from the bottom this is when radio was everything there was no internet and they they blew up and and then then when I was when I was 19 and I knew I wasn't gonna be in the NBA and I had gotten into like my closest thing to like really really bad trouble I got into a bad fight and you know I was with bad people and like you know my father said you know I called him from the hospital I was in the hospital Brookdale Hospital in Brooklyn it was terrible and and he said you know and I remembered he said you know I I'm afraid the next time you call me someone's gonna say you had a bullet in your head like well that wouldn't be you calling you know I could tell you know and I was like I got to get my [ __ ] together and I'd always been a [ __ ] talk I'd always loved stand-up comedy that was the first thing I did so I'd like went to LA started doing stand-up and then that segwayed me into acting and as soon as I the very first time I read sides very searched first time I read a scene that came more natural than anything I had any basketball I'd shot and I practiced for hours playing ball but as soon as I started acting I was it was like fish to war yes yes did you hate the way that people perhaps perceived you after that like because it is acting right yeah but that role was such a yeah crazy role that is you know and VOC so many emotions you know they might have seen you and really felt like yeah I was I was always afraid of that when when that movie came in obviously this is like I don't know what year was maybe 95 or 96 you gotta explain to people his character if they don't know it's a skinhead go ahead skinhead yeah yeah well first as an actor I was like this is this is it this is a dope part because I knew it was totally opposite for me and you know him being around ice cube and Busta Rhymes and Omar Epps and like we were all just young and they had no idea who and they you know it's kind of like a sort of church and state on that set it was like the skinheads and it was like you know Regina King cube and Busta Rhymes and Omar Epps and they're smoking weed and I'm in my [ __ ] trailer like you know reading mine comes and you know like getting into my character I'm like I want to hang out with these [ __ ] I'm in here by myself like isolated but I thought I thought I was a little concerned about that you know being an issue but the craziest thing about Remy is that 99% of the time in any hood in any part of the country to this day people will be like yo Remy what's up like they love that character so it worked out good but I definitely was like had my head on a swivel when the movie came out cuz I was like I don't want people to think that you're really a skinny meet any skin has cuz I know sometimes when you prepare for a role to get into character that you even get into character meet any skinheads I've read a lot of books I watch a lot of documentaries and just busting my ass and and and John Singleton um just you know gave all of us the freedom to do our thing and and and you know the crazy thing about that movie is is a Tupac was gonna play the Omar Epps part mmm and and Leonardo DiCaprio was gonna play my part and I was gonna play the older skinhead and then Tupac I think they talked about this in that Tupac movie Tupac got arrested and the film couldn't be financed because of that and then he he obviously pulled out and then Gwyneth Paltrow was supposed to be in at 2:00 so pop pulled out and then Leonardo pulled out and then Gwyneth Paltrow pulled out and then you know me Omar and the rest of us you know came in and parts are sort of switched around and then cube and it's a pretty good B team though pretty good no doubt now white famous you play a role in a teddy yes yes I watched all the episodes I think it's funny Thank You Anjali told me all the way and I was very confused at first while I was watching it because I felt like some of the script was a little bit over the top uh-huh you gotta keep watching I told you no come on Angela where I was so three it's funny do you know anybody like Teddy in Hollywood somebody who plays those type of mind games and tries to manipulate people I do I know versions of it like it would have to be like two or three people sort of you know pinch together I've never worked with a director who's is like you know you hear about directors that are like Oliver Stone was wild he you know he and you know he's sort of in the news now with all this Harvey Weinstein stuff um but he was you know in the in the Natural Born Killers days and you know the JFK days and those movies like he was apparently like closest what I've heard to that God you um but I've never worked with anybody that that done that I've never seen anybody do that I've seen directors be a little you know frustrated or a little volatile but never anything that like even mentionable you know like memorable is that that whole white famous concept still a thing like like like black guys want to be white famous I think white guys want to be black famous black famous is is you know where it's at in Hollywood now but I mean I think that the whole thing with white famous and the show white families that came from a Jamie Foxx skit or a bit you know he had gotten a certain level of Fame and he was like you know I want to get white famous I want it was essentially like for crossing over um but I think I mean there's always gonna be you know mixes and melodies but you know though III say in my opinion just what's depicted on film and TV today as far as you know you know sort of having it passed around I think we're in a better place than we've ever ever been or you know I like is far I mean there is black people on TV there's black people in movies like never before hip hop the number ones on room usek that if we can we call the hip hop can we call the hip hop at this point I think it's been I think it's all under the umbrella Saul I don't here but but you know I mean like yeah I mean yeah obviously it's it's the number one Jean it's been the number one genre for a long time and you know the music is is important and the music is dope and you know I know I get you know I just I I know you guys probably stay away from like that conversation of like what's whacked the mumble rap [ __ ] and you now remember we don't we like to have do you oh really oh I'd love to have it cuz I remember when you interviewed me for the Tri movie you told me you were a kid when they film to check the rhyme video and you like just happen upon when they were filming everything I mean like yeah I was like oh [ __ ] cuz like I was like [ __ ] I was looking for footage from that [ __ ] video for you but you know I mean like hip-hop to me is so [ __ ] up right now this is this is what I think first of all it starts from the production the beats there's like you know when you talk to large professor when you talk to Molly Moll when you talk to premier like q-tip these dudes like the beats what you hear first like these guys will really truly artists craftsmen and and and I think now because you can literally make a song it's so accessible you could put it out so quickly but when you first came out and not to say that it's better or worse but you know there was like when you first put out your first [ __ ] it was make-it-or-break-it right because if the first time either Red Alert was going to Russell Simmons gonna hear mr. magic was in here it had to be a banger that [ __ ] was gonna get broken you were never gonna be heard from again right so there was like my blood sweat and tears my life is in this beat my life is in that rhyme and I think now it's so easy and it's like you know you could put out a diss track today and then like like and then the next day put out another distract and like if that doesn't work I'll put out another diss track it the sound of the music is [ __ ] and and you know like in the 80s the 90s in the Platinum era or whatever the [ __ ] you want to call it it was like New York had a distinct sound Atlanta had a distinct down la came with their [ __ ] you know you know like ghetto boys they came with their [ __ ] and and and it was like everybody's [ __ ] was dope now it's like you got dudes from New York that speak with southern [ __ ] is going on here like what the [ __ ] is going on you're like you know like you know like there's obviously there's good people there's the Kendricks is the J Cole's you know like there's there's people but it's like the rapper yeah there's Rhapsody they still got the old artists who putting on great records like jay-z put off well for for this year whoo tang put out a great new loud their album is dope yeah but even even hope and I know I'm probably this is probably real dangerous and hope is my number one guy I love them jay-z's record us like after that first week of listening to it in that you know I'm not oh I'm not black I'm OJ okay who's rockin at me for the great hour you played there but it's there's no bangers on it's jay-z deadly family feud it's the whole body of work is about that type of record yeah for a radio record or a banger to hear I need but this is home like you could teach me over some fly [ __ ] I want to rock in the lake I don't want to be like to me and this is like I this is sacrilegious because I [ __ ] with jay-z just as much as everybody loved him he's he's the quintessential but for me jay-z like to put out a record that doesn't have that boom bap that soul that funk it does though come it's like a forward tree record shawl no it's not you have Jill Scott Erykah Badu see all those beats there's no smackers are you saying it's the beats there's no no I get what he's bamm-bamm is a boy bands not you wanna you wanted him to do it from me record or something I just have to be I wanted to do a job I want I want some smackers on it there's no matter I think this is the top 3 jay-z up I don't agree like I get like his lyrics are always potent and right but for me and I know I'm crazy saying this [ __ ] again I'm saying it but but and I you know like for me like with jay-z like I don't want to hear about your family problems I don't give a [ __ ] about them at TMZ [ __ ] like you can kick it and if you're gonna kick it but at least kick it over some smackers like gimme like give me one smack if you want to slow it down it's a teaching album I get it we're in a political state he's older but can I get one smell with your favorite jay-z record then I can get a better gauge of what you say what's your favorite jay-z record I mean it's hard to say I mean the black album the the you know what y'all give me a song dead probably my favorite where I'm from dead president 99 you know dead presents to me is probably like just like that [ __ ] like to me that's quintessential New York but the list goes on and on loose affirming there's there's tons but I need a [ __ ] smoke Marci me as the gentrified version a whale from I know it's just you like literally like you could give Jill Scott that [ __ ] you can sing on those beats on every one of those beats no he's not well before the classic album great up now listen Dan Levitt oh wait are you are you you work out yeah okay so when you work out you don't lie to me Charlamagne when you work out you need to get that pump on you don't listen any for 4/4 time a day when I fell in love before perform all right was my because it came out of my birthday my birthday of the 29th came out on the 30th so I rolled home from the little rooftop party I had feeling good and then we went on a family vacation to Anguilla so the whole time in Anguilla I'm by the pool and we're playing it and I'm like this is great up yeah it's the vibe like it's a great up look I got you I got you a shirt but but I listen yeah I get that part of it but like fruit the thing about and we could get in the Dan Laboratory the thing about hope and the thing about nas and the thing about mmm and the thing about the the dudes from that ilk from that cloth that are still relevant and still remaining it's like I think they need to balance it and and like be like yo this [ __ ] you know like cuz there's all this little this guy and young this kind [ __ ] [ __ ] boy this and skinny jean this one it's [ __ ] drug addict rappers and [ __ ] like that but like hope is he's still relevant give me some smackers let them know like where the smackers are at nas give me the [ __ ] bangers I need the bangers and what did you think of Eminem's freestyle had to be table I thought it was great wack know why they let me give my opinion now many years I thought it was one of the best things about it was that there was no beat yeah so it was just focus on his words yeah don't you want the smackers and I think that the thing that he said cuz he the thing about Eminem and listen I love him and him I wouldn't put him in like as far as like his songs I don't put him in my top ten as far as a skill like Jesus technician he's [ __ ] sick absolutely technician he's sick and when he's on other people's [ __ ] ridiculous right and that [ __ ] that he did with Busta Rhymes last year that jump around [ __ ] nuts even like even his sort of pop songs like his skill level but as far as boom bap that smacker [ __ ] like hi my name is to me I was always like missus you he's I don't want any beef when I'm in him because you don't want him coming at you with the lyrics but for me as a political statement from him now being a white dude a white rapper who's been very aware of who his fanbase is it was good that he was like saying like yo don't [ __ ] with me if you [ __ ] with him right so like you know like as far as that so that I thought it was dope did I so as far as a political statement which is obviously what everything was great terrific but lyrically and the technic technical stuff I've heard him and be way better totally agree with you but I think it was needed and the way he did it on the platform and the fact that he did it at BT know B with no beat and he scaled it down so it's like there's no beat you're not gonna misconstrued anything I say right like I'm gonna make it very clear very slow and laying out it's a simple direct message and it's needed because you know the more like like the more like the Tom Brady's the Aaron Rodgers the [ __ ] you know Chris stop porzingis to Leonardo DiCaprio's the [ __ ] George Clooney's like cuz people like why do you say that are you afraid I'm like what like people like why do you make these videos on Instagram why are we all making videos in Instagram you gotta use your privilege the combat-ready why are we not all making be like all of us all of us [ __ ] all of us Gwyneth Paltrow all the [ __ ] the whitest if you have a [ __ ] soul and you have a sense of self and you have compassion for all of us everybody should have a [ __ ] camera be like [ __ ] you [ __ ] your [ __ ] mom [ __ ] everybody about you like there's nothing there's nothing funky about you right so like when people like when you ask me that I'm like I don't understand like why am I the only one doing it you know as far as like actors or white actors you know I don't think twice about it so nothing that Dan Levitan accused you of wanting to be black yes it's not the first time have you ever wanted to be black no I've never one never wanted to be like you know it's it's a funny thing because you know first of all Dan laboratory that fat doughnut-eating [ __ ] laughs you still got beef with him but that is his whole crew we got his little producers you know like yeah like yeah he accused me of that [ __ ] he's whack he's corny he's he's in Miami he's banged up on a bath salts and all that [ __ ] I don't think twice about that Dan leper tart is a clown and he's the old regime like his time is up and he's a company man and he has peeing like the guy at at ESPN the head guy like he's lately he's the guy who handles his balls grunts like he's like on this roll guy Dan lab [ __ ] is he's he's like his days are numbered like no one gives a [ __ ] and he always have his little Miami [ __ ] but he's you know he's wack yeah interesting that his father is like the star to show his father the whole thing started cuz he accused Magic Johnson of being qualified to run the Los Angeles Lakers and I was like your father is on a TV show every day being not qualified to me yeah he said his magic Johnson qualified or not qualified to run the Los Angeles Lakers and I was like you put you're talking about qualified your father is a minstrel show every day at 3 p.m. you're walking qualified or not qualified like papi like it's cute all that [ __ ] but like in my opinion like they're that whole thing making fun of rappers lyrics and broken English that's it's disrespectful and you know you know so whatever it was just it started out as an Instagram thing than his I mean as a Twitter thing then his producers started popping [ __ ] and and you know and then whatever and then you know bring because first of all I know you're wack anyway and like there's no I work for myself I'm an independent contractor like when I follow w-4 it says independent contractor and it's it has since the first day I made money so I don't you know I don't follow any of that [ __ ] and you're an ESPN whatever I mean I like his previous man is the worldwide leader but like it was like if I'm going down we're all going down are you ever disappointed when you meet some of these athletes that you really look up to like I know you talked about meeting LeBron in the book and you know meeting different people have you ever been like man I love this guy and then I met him you know what as far as athletes I've always because I have such respect for athletes and I'm not a I've never asked any athlete friend that I've met for tickets I don't ask for sneakers I barely even like dr. J a Magic Johnson I asked him for a picture like I'm just like as far as athletes I'm just like I want to just enjoy them as as as the yeah like I want to join her and the LeBron thing happened because I had met LeBron at the 40/40 club when he first came in he hadn't even played in the game I met him I was there with jay-z and Tata and all them and we were just chilling and like I left I walked literally light into LeBron nice to meet you sir I'm a big fan sir nice to meet you how you doing good luck you know like he didn't know what he was gonna be but you had a feeling was gonna be good so I'm a few times the all-star game what's up nice to meet you good good luck keep doing your thing and and the thing that happened with LeBron I talk about in the book is he tried he out of all the athletes and celebrities I've ever met my kids have met everybody and you know they don't get a percent by anybody cuz their father's the coolest [ __ ] they know so but when they when they ran into LeBron he dissed my kids like he gave them the [ __ ] Heisman and turned his back to them and I and I had heard later on that a friend of a friend you know had passed ibly slept with a friend of his friend and maybe he correlated me with my friends and it has nothing to do with a ten and eight year old like Dane trying to get his selfie and asking it all front on the kids give him I'll give him a pound and a smile don't don't play me and my kids and out of all the athletes and out of all the celebrities out of all the rappers I've ever met especially with my kids that was the only [ __ ] that ever did that and I was like hell [ __ ] no hell no and I you know so whatever but as far you know I'm obviously is the best but as far as you know all the shenanigans that he's done and you know the the big three and all that I think he's really [ __ ] up the NBA because all the other guys have following suit and I think when he leaves I know he's done a lot of things for the players but when he leaves the NBA and when he when he finally you know his term is over and I hope he never gets injured because it's interesting I wake up with a you know an ankle injury LeBron James has played more basketball than anybody but nobody has played as much basketball and never gotten injured on her even Sammy Sosa Lance Armstrong Mark McGwire they all got injured and they were on roids yeah Brian never gotten hurt his whole this whole time in the NBA so I talked about it in the book and you know don't say you never be like Mike either which I agree well he's never gonna be like my I mean this ship has sailed like he's like the finals um Mike six and oh an NBA Finals man he never II went to Game seven he's he wasn't he didn't LeBron James unfollowed the Cleveland Cavaliers while he was on The Cleveland Cavaliers like he does all this [ __ ] made Instagram [ __ ] like yo that's like uh that's called uncoupling and Gwyneth Paltrow invented like that would happen if they were social media back with Mike you know but but we'll never know we'll never know but as far as like Brian like all the whining and complaining and the videos and like yo you're in like you got your shirt off and we see you working on you supposed to work out you [ __ ] LeBron James it might be that there's more access to all of that now than there ever was before I get it he's dope I'm just saying like the real thing for me is the big three thing when he went to Miami in his prime and started that big three the NBA never be the same for me and you see how many big threes there are this year and Kevin Durant who at first I was like [ __ ] why is he doing that he just had to play catch up with what LeBron James didn't he that's why I thought it was so beautiful when they cracked their ass laughs you don't mind that Kevin Durant is dead I think I don't mind that any of them do it now because they're all sort of catching up with what he's done you know this friends-and-family AAU Banana Boat [ __ ] nice a chapter in the book I wish was actually a whole book and that's words from the 5-footer Seth hmm cuz you did a trial Called Quest really y'all became friends hmm during that duck and he was a big sports guy the biggest yeah five was the biggest sports fan and I mean he loves sports you knew that even if you'd never met him because of all the sports references in his lyrics and you know I knew that that was I had to do something about five in a sports book because when I was doing the tribe movie you eventually want to be using some of it in the movie I'd be like you know tell me about the Midnight Marauders record I tell me about when you were on low-end theory tour and it would somehow or another we'd wind up talking about you know Earl Campbell or won't Walter Payton or Patrick Ewing or Biggie's Basco so I just wanted to put that in there because you know obviously him passing was it was a big loss for his friends for his family for the fans but the sports world and you know there's before he passed he wound up on ESPN with Scott Van Pelt and I you could just see he was like elated to be there cuz he loved as much he loved hip-hop so much he loved New York as much love all the other stuff sports was like he loved it so I wanted to make sure to put that in there for him and for his family and for the fans all right and who knew that Mickey from Rocky was getting all that [ __ ] Mickey was a consummate stick man righteous man I had no idea burgess Meredith apparently was getting it in in his time and you know just a little Jewish guy and you know the original penguin and you never would have thought that Mickey was it was a great stick man but he was he was putting in that work so that one of the chapters is you know the great list of stick men of all time I thought it's gonna be about hockey but it wasn't he has great advice for Tiger Woods in this book also yes come back yes yes Tiger Woods is gonna start skating that's the only way he's got to start crying we know you're an animal Tiger Woods yes just like we embrace it but let me tell you something I appreciate you guys having up got me up but I honestly didn't know like what to expect because you know it gets so crazy up here but I appreciate the support I appreciate you know you have me up here and I'm a fan I thank you and you gotta come up here I appreciate you that for for for another listen I'll give it a little listen you'll like it I'll give it a little disrespect a whole lot I'm more concerned about saying that about that record than I am about Trump yeah Marcy projects are gonna stay where I stand all right there you have it is Michael Rapaport is the Breakfast Club good morning [Music]
