Charlamagne Tha God, DJ Envy and Angela Yee had a reason to celebrate on Monday (August 17) when they learned their popular Hot 97 show The Breakfast Club had been named amongst the 2020 Radio Hall of Fame inductees.
All three media personalities expressed their gratitude on Instagram following the announcement with Charlamagne writing, “One day people will look back and give us respect for how we impacted the culture the past decade. I know it’s hard to show love when folks are still active, I get it, I get it. I’m sure when we get a documentary or something the flowers will come but In the meantime.
“All Praises and Glory Due To God and sincere Thanks and Gratitude to everyone who listens to us on the radio, via podcast, YouTube, however you consume your breakfast, THANK YOU for being a part of our club. Also this is just a reminder that there really are Jay Z bars for every situation in life. Let’s sing along……..”I’m in the HALL already, on the wall already, I’m a work of art, I’m a Warhol already. On another level, on another plane already, Breakfast Club we got our own lane already.”
