On this special on-the-ground edition of The Latest with Loren LaRosa, Loren takes you inside one of the biggest cultural events of the year — the Roots Picnic.

From witnessing Jay-Z’s highly anticipated return to the stage to exclusive conversations with Questlove, Talib Kweli, members of De La Soul, Jermaine Dupri, and Draymond Green, this episode captures the energy, history, and star power that made the weekend unforgettable.

Questlove opens up about finally getting Jay-Z back on stage and the growth of the Roots Picnic from a small Philadelphia gathering to a massive cultural institution. Talib Kweli and De La Soul reflect on the family atmosphere and legacy of the festival, while Jermaine Dupri weighs in on the debate surrounding greatest songwriters lists and the importance of artists learning their craft in real life—not just online.

Plus, Draymond Green discusses his appearance on The Roast of Kevin Hart, internet narratives, and why he had to be in the building for Jay-Z’s historic set.

Tap in for exclusive interviews, behind-the-scenes moments, and a front-row seat to one of hip-hop’s most iconic weekends.

You’re tuning into the unfiltered, unpredictable energy of weekday mornings with The Breakfast Club. Hosts DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, and Charlamagne Tha God have built what’s been called the world’s most dangerous morning show, and this podcast captures every chaotic, insightful, and hilarious moment. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair at a table where no topic is off-limits-current events, celebrity interviews, and raw social commentary all get dissected with equal parts humor and blunt honesty. The chemistry between the three hosts is the real engine here; their debates, personal stories, and spontaneous tangents often become the main event. Listening means you’re in the room for genuine reactions, whether it’s a heated discussion or a moment of unexpected vulnerability. This isn’t a polished, scripted conversation-it’s the sound of three distinct personalities navigating the day’s headlines and their own lives, usually at the same time. For a daily dose of comedy that’s as thought-provoking as it is entertaining, this podcast delivers the unique blend of chaos and clarity that has defined its reputation.
