#BreakfastClub
I want to thank Issa for this show. It's the first character I truly see myself. Showing that weird, awkward black woman can be sexy, fly, clumsy, smart and funny
I can relate sooo much !
⚘
Yessss
Me too...i swear she my best friend i never met...🤭🤭🤭
Saaaame🙌🏿🥰
Ever since Insecure's debut I've witnessed so many black people begin careers in writing, filmmaking, directing. Issa is paving the way.
Respectfully
You're doing too much. I can appreciate the love you have for Issa, but put a little perspective on it. The way was paved by Susan Fales Hill, Keenan Ivory Wayans, Yvette Lee Bowser, Sara Finney & Vida Spears, Mara Brock Akil, Meg DeLoatch, Eunetta T. Boone (RIP), Jaqcue Edmonds Cofer, Ali LeRoi and Larry Wilmore, just to say the names of some of the many black writers that have created/written/produced/directed prominent black television shows over the past 30 years who don't get balloons and liquor or even, apparently, the respect of acknowledgement.
@1neLove thanks for that knowledge, many of those black writers/directors aren't well known, but I think the commenter was referring to the millenial/Gen Z generation. The spaces now are different and television is completely different now.
@@OneLoveRSR we talking about the new generation
@@OneLoveRSR please stop being obtuse we talking about the current generation. 😒
Charlemagne is so normal here. No trolling, no shade, he loves her. 😂😂😂😂❤️
Search Bleed through By paid killa & thank me later ⭐️ Bring back these kind of bars /good man vibes
exactly !
He's still annoying. Constantly taking about how much money she has. Unfortunately some people only see wealth as a measure of a person. This woman is priceless. 🙌🏽❤
Thats called R-e-s-p-e-c-t bby
Insecure changed lives, but we cannot sleep on the soundtrack either. Issa gave what she was supposed to give! Love her
Always a bop
girl this !
You better say that!!! I'm a fan of SZA, The Internet and at least 5 other artist because of her.....soundtrack is🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yasssss!!!! The music is/has always been amazing!
That sound track is Life♥♥
Issa Rae changed the whole game in terms of black shows, in terms of how creatives utilize the internet, in terms of the depiction of black women in Hollywood, in terms of black women in comedy. She is incredible. The Breakfast Club did a great job of giving her her flowers right now.
That covers it
And its positive too🤗
She is definitely a game changer in the industry
Yasss Issa Raye!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
🙄 Uhh...Shonda Rhimes said 'hold my beer'
Giving her the flowers she so deserves while she’s here, sharing her brilliance. I love to see it.
Another BootLick !
Yassss!! ❤️
ME TOO! SHE SO HUMBLE AN DOWN TO EARTH.. LOVE IT
Yasss, literally and through praise!
Just love her energy just proud of her work yet humble. She vibes so well with the Breakfast Club. I wish she would have a regular monthly appearance.
I love how they are talking over each other to talk to Issa. It’s the impact she has on THEM for me.
It’s kinda blowing me. Professionalism just out the window
@@aminahpd it’s just excitement. They’ve been doing this for 12+ years, they know what they are doing
Yesss to celebrating Issa. She humanizes black women. We are just as nuanced as everyone else... different shades, sizes, natural, permed, awkward, bougie, smart, dense, rich, broke, successful, struggling. Like she gave us the full spectrum with Insecure. She's unapologetically black and I STAN!✊🏾
This is beautiful to see a black woman be honored and celebrated like this. Absolutely love it.
What?
*Black
Hyuuuu
💯
It's sad that you actually have to say this.
“Y’all be having hella stuff in here” Issa is the best!
They do though 😂😂
Absolutely was weak at that😂😂😂😂😂! She don’t care what she say
That was funny!! She missed their set up for her due to clutter lol
She talks like shes from the Bay 🌴 I love it lol
It's true too
I respect how she’s standing 10 toes down on her decision to end it. She had a plan and she stuck to it. I’m upset and crying 😢 but glad to have another Season 🙌🏾
Issa Rae earned it , did it her way, and was UNAPOLOGETICALLY Black throughout the whole process. Very proud and happy for her.
Issa Rae not knowing that the balloons, food & drinks were all for her is pretty dope. We have to give everyone their flowers while they're still with us.
Awesome interview
“Y’all be having hella stuff in here” 💀💀
She definitely made a classic show for the black culture. Didn't water it down to make other races comfortable she kept it black. 💯

FAAAACTS!!!💯💯💯
And that's It !!!!!!!!
Look at Issa… so inspirational 😘
No question. People like her and Tyler Perry inspire me so much. They did it their own way.
Yesss dude!
Issa Rae helped me to feel seen 🥺 her writing inspired me to wear my hair natural at work, and to keep it pushin when life gets low. I’ll miss Insecure
We LOVE Isaa because she is so authentic.....she feels so real...and she so UNAPOLOGETICALLY BLACK!!! I can't get enough!! Her energy is awesome!!
💯💯💯
So true! She’s so real, and humble. She looks like a regular LA girl, with a real ass personality. Love her!
I just adore her on so many levels. She is so genuine, so inspiring!
‼️‼️‼️
Omg yes I love me some Issa! My spirit sister 😂
Every one of them was super excited and giddy to talk to Issa, they were all talking over each other to ask her stuff 😂😂 I would have been fan-girling too I 💛 her
I love Issa, she's like you favorite cousin you don't get to see all the time, but once you do, it's an instant reconnect!
Haven’t watched a breakfast club interview in ages. Couldn’t help but stop by after seeing Issa’s gorgeous self in the thumbnail. She’s legitimately one of the most beautiful women in the world.
You are like one of the few BM that's not colorist.
Same!!
@@PHlophe I’m sorry to hear that. Black is beautiful.
Same!
Same here! I can't remember when was the last time I watched this show but I HAD to when I saw Issa. I knew they were going to be on their best behavior, too.
As a man i dropped some tears when Derek went looking for Tiffany and found her in that hotel or apartment a train wreck from postpartum. That ish hit home 🥲

Fr fr
Yea I was crying too
Aww ☺️ wow
4-5 seasons is the best time frame for almost all tv shows. Most fall off after the 5th season. You start getting filler episodes, bizarre plot lines to make up for the stale writing, and actors quitting. She made the right decision
Agree and she said the same thing. She knows her craft very well. Almost all my favorite shows either stopped around 4-5 seasons or went downhill after
So Proud of her! We all should know when to leave. Leave on TOP!!!
I love her whole demeanor, she’s so humble and confident. Insecure is so Real I can see and accept myself while watching it . Sad this is the last season.
Yassss it’s Issa “Vote on Everything Black” Rae 🙌🏾. I’m really going to miss Insecure, very well made show for the 20-30 something adult crowd.
kzhead.info/sun/a6aeetSDfqeFnXA/bejne.html The Big lie ..caught againo
Me too I hope Kelly gets a spin off
@@allenw7531 me too. I want to see her as an accountant cheating her wealthy clients 😂
Show is gonna go down in history. Legendary
The 40+ loves it too!
The series misadventures of an awkward black girl literally spoke to my soul when I was 19, 10 years ago. STill impacts me to this day. love you issa! thank you!!
@@msmime35 I didn’t know there was a book! I’ll have to check it out ♥️
It’s a hilarious book
i loved it, too.
I still didn't watch that series. I'm glad though because now I have something to watch with her in it lol.
It was everything
Nobody: Charlamagne: “Because I’ll never disrespect you and try to pay for something while I’m with you” 🤦🏾😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
🥴😆😂😂😂🤣
Issa really opened up the door for content creators elevating from YT to tv broadcasting. She did it authentically and with class. Glad TBC is giving her flowers 💐.
I love how y’all been celebrating folks lately!!! Keep it up!
I respect it
Stole that from NORE but I like it!
@@sinamen516 good thing to steal. Love it
Wow!! Who does NOT like Issa? She's unproblematic, down to earth, and I love it that her show employs black people. The entertainment industry is one of the hardest to get a break for up and coming black artists. She is helping by hiring her people by giving them jobs. This is interview is on point.
I also loved that she hired non black people who were committed to make black people look good on screen too. She truly hired the best people for the job and the fact that so many were black is amazing. I can’t wait for tv to come in future years
DJ Envy said "I never understood why we never did that" in regards to real estate and building a community in the Black community. It's a huge disservice to not acknowledge that "We" did and many times those places were shut down or it's community killed off due to redlining, riots, displacement, literal murder etc. The burning of Tulsa is just one of hundreds of examples that we know of. It's happening modern day with gentrification and restructuring districts.
If it's not the ghetto, they hate to see all Black in it...thriving, but cities like that can be rebuilt...they need to be...and protected...
It's Envy. What do you expect...
Lmao who cares what envy thinks like at all
My exact thoughts when he said that. Also what’s now Central Park used to be a thriving black neighborhood until white people decided they wanted the land to build a park, so they took it.
🎯
The relatability to insecure throughout the seasons is unmatched for me as a millennial. I am so happy I got to experience such an amazing show like this in my lifetime. She is so amazing. I pray only for the best things to happen for Issa and her crew.
I didn’t need to read anything else … just ISSA RAE and Breakfast Club !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾✊🏿
kzhead.info/sun/a6aeetSDfqeFnXA/bejne.html The Big lie ..caught againo
I clicked so fast
Clicked so fast
same
Mannn when Issa laughed hard as hell with her head bent down and then she swung her ponytail back in place, I got a lil worried. 🤣🤣🤣 Her hairpins understood the assignment
I absolutely love how humble she is even though she got every reason to undeniably flaunt how much of a bad ass boss she is 😍😍😍😍!!!! Like go baby go! I love her! So inspiring!
“A true measure of a person is how they treat someone who can’t do anything for them.” 38:34 That’s good , thanks for that!
This show is one of the best shows ever written. It’s impact & ability to really bring the culture to the forefront is unmatched.
When Issa was smiling I was smiling, she’s just so beautiful
Big Facts 💯
I’ve watch ABG since episode 1 on KZhead. To say I’m proud would be an understatement!!!! From shooting episode 1 with an iPhone to getting some people offering to direct for free TO getting the show on HBO to 9 figure deal with WB!!!!! This is A BLACK THAT ROCKS! This is BLACK EXCELLENCE. This is BLACK GIRL MAGIC. I’m forever in awe of Issa Rae!!! Thank you. Here are your flowers 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾
It's sad that Insecure is ending, but I'm happy for Issa Rae and her success.
Insecure has been a life changing series for me! Kinda like Martin.. anyway thank you for all your hard work MRS.Issa Rae!!!!!
It was so nostalgic for me because I went to my HBCU with so many Lawrence’s, Chad’s, Dro’s, Ahmad’s, Nathan’s, Daniels, Derek’s and Taureans🤦🏾♀️ 😂
I swear she is living the best version of my life. She is definitely doing her best with what God has blessed her with. So many things she has done have been dreams of mine but it takes money and influence. I’m so happy to see it can happen.
But she didn’t have the money and influence when she started. There is no difference between you and her. If that is your dream, just start like she did. You got this! ✨
I thank Issa for showing a different black girl experience that so many of us could relate to. This show was life changing for me 💛🙌🏽
Envy called out Diddy like he didn’t date a pass around while married 🤨 ..same woman Bow Wow was engaged to, and who married Safaree. Stop ✋🏽
yeah...i was like wtf bro. Heavy on the violation
Same. ERICUH!!!!
Exactly talking about he couldn’t do it 🙄
I love that we Capricorns are so private. Issa popped up married and keeps her personal business under wraps. ♑ ♑ ♑ ❤❤❤
♑💪🏼
Facts everyone needs a Capricorn in their life!
♑👈🏾💪🏾
Big Cap gang !
So true!!! Capricorn too, seems like most, not all, but most of us Capricorns are Introverts... 🤔 💭
I feel so proud of Issa's continuous accomplishments. I didn't know it was possible to feel so proud about someone whom you don't even have a personal relationship with. I just love to see people's hard work pay off. May the Almighty God grant all of us the grace to succeed in our endeavours 🙏🏾
KELLY NEEDS HER OWN SHOW! End of story!!!! I have always loved this series.
Yesssss!!!!
I love Issa. She deserves all of her blessings.
So very proud of Issa’s continued success! I had the chance to meet her 4 years ago and I was so surprised how emotional I was to meet her. She is such a major influence on so many lives, and I pray that she is able to continue to thrive and share our stories!
I remember watching awkward black girl and just thinking Issa had one of the coolest/ funniest web series on KZhead. 10 years later, she’s dropping season 5 of one of the most popular shows on HBO.
And has a 7 figure deal For the next 5 years
This is the first time I've watched them give an interview that was ALL LOVE. No hating, no digs, just appreciation and compliments. Beautiful!
Envy: I don't understand why we don't have our own town. Everybody: We had our towns but they were burned and bombed. (ROSEWOOD, TULSA, WILMINGTON, etc)
Envy is lost...
Doesn’t mean we can’t REBUILD !!! They can’t hide their dirt anymore and damn won’t be able to get away with it!!! The ancestors we were left with were weak and compliant. Time for the new guard!!
No disrespect to the Ancestors either.
He's so out of touch and it's sad
He’s talking about NOW clearly.
I am a 54 year old woman and I enjoyed binging on this show❤️❤️❤️
age don't matter. sista
I feel you on that, 49 and I love watching Insecure.
It's a good show your age has nothing to do with it
I love her! She’s so transparent and goofy. And the breakfast club is always dope!
"Big Boss Rae", "Real Estate Rae", "Income Issa" i know ctg been working on those names for awhile 😂😂
I love the energy for this interview. You could tell all 3 hosts were excited to be in the presence of their peer and an inspirational black queen. And Issa is so beautiful in and out!
I love seeing my black people win!!! Many more years of success for this queen!
I just binged Insecure, I can't wait for the final season!!
kzhead.info/sun/d9Rqc6p5b3Oed2g/bejne.html
Same…. that’s all I did on the 21st and today I see that she had an interview on that day. Dope!!!
I watch each season like it's new I just lovvvvvve that show!!❤❤❤
Yall help me where can I rewatch the previous seasons please
Issa is an icon. We must protect her at all cost.
I cried watching the cast & crew members wrapping the season up on social media! I’m so proud of Issa!!
I am glad that it is mentioned that Issa Rae is from youtube. That is where I found her, she did "Awkward Black Girl." Those episodes are so relatable to me! On the outside, people think I'm stuck up; on the inside I am very very awkward, all basic social queues is chucked out the window.
Girl you preaching to the awkward black girl choir lol loved that series
I love her sooo much, she’s going to be legendary.
She already is!
Literally insecure is like watching your life play out on TV lol love her
Very true
This woman is precious...God protect her.🙏🏽 Doing positive things for her community is truly outstanding. What an amazing talented woman. 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾❤
35:53 Yee making fun of Envy be hilarious😂😂 "ITALIAN TOWN"
Funny as shiiit
Hilarious af bro
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They were tipsy 🤣🤣🤣
Lmfao had my stomach hurting! 😂😂😂 and CTGs delayed reaction had me dying 😂😂😂😂
“Did the bundles get better?” 😂
I loved everything about this interview! Witnessing black excellence is soooo needed for the black community as a whole because I feel like not only children need that mind opening experience of like “Hey, I could do that too!” Issa is just so inspiring, there was just so much inspiration sitting in that room right there and I just loooovvveeedd every second.
Issa’s reaction after Yee reveals she doesn’t know how to swim & that she’s from Brooklyn had me 😂😂😂28:57
Issa!!!! HEY GIRL HEY!💜 that was so nice to see the breakfast club give her flowers etc etc.. very heartwarming...she sooooo deserve it! GET IT GIRL!!!
kzhead.info/sun/d9Rqc6p5b3Oed2g/bejne.html
Love her. Insecure helped me get a different perspective on my relationships. Just seeing it play out on screen was super reflective of my personal relationships. Will always be a fan
this is the reason why representation matters. My dawta is 8 and she does not understand the show at all. but she looks at every girl on there as if they are paintings.
@@PHlophe never seen daughter written like that before... bro why?
@@152Loui its actually a correct spelling in West indian creole. You can look it up.
Im a Mexican woman and she inspires me shes amazing such a trailblazer 🙏❤
I’m sure Insecure changed the trajectory of everyone’s career.
She's so effortlessly beautiful, inside out. We need more role models like her 💓💓
Because of her i picked up my pen and finished writing my pilot. salute to her.
Nice
Wow I hope she sees this.
Congrats! Wish you lots of success!!
You go girl !
I will remember your name.
I love that they gave Issa her flowers and celebrated her success! Salute! ❤️✊🏿
I love Issa and Insecure. That show is definitely a game changer !!! Thanks so much for creating such amazing work ☺️💛
She is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Dope, Amazing, Chill. Everything
Issa is such a beautiful queen 😍 I’m so proud of her success and her always staying true to her craft. I’m so excited for this final season of insecure 😭😭…. I can’t wait to see what she do next !!!!
Issa is just soooo brilliant. What an inspired human...so much love for her (and the entire Insecure cast) and can't wait to see what's next for her! Whoop whoop
Her grind from KZhead to HBO is awe inspiring.
Chile I was scrolling by and stopped in my tracks to watch. I LOVE Issa Rae!
I LOVE Issa! She's the definition of black girl magic✨ So inspirational, beautiful, talented, relatable and funny. I just finished rewatching Insecure & actually binge watching the show hits different! I can't believe all that happened in 1 year 🤦🏽♀️ This show did so much for black people but especially black women. It made me become more comfortable being me, the authentic weird me! So thank you Issa 💖
Note the way Issa ask questions to the interviewers, she is a creative at heart. Love everything about this conversation.
Love the interview & LOVE how y’all showed her love & appreciation
Issa Rae, the most beautiful smile in Hollywood🤩
Speaking of Hollywood, and comments dont kill me its a serious Q's? has it ever crossed anyone's mind if Issa Rae was born male?
No debate there
@@WalkCareful bro gtfo trying to tear her down always weirdos like you with these Conspiracies
Queen Issa in the building!!!
I ❤️ the attention they’re giving her flowers while she can smell I can appreciate the amount of knowledge everybody knew and bring to the table about Issa’s craft💯💯
Soooooo enjoyed this interview. I love her beautiful smile, pearly white teeth, her humble attitude, and determination to thrive. 💯🙌🏾🙏🏾
Envy takes joking from CTHG so well, love these 2 male energy, good vibes…
Watching her journey from Misadventures of ABG...whewww! We've all grown together & she continues to inspire me to create & reach higher!
This was dope I love Issa Rae and what she stands for and how she feels so genuine. I've been a fan since awkward black girl it is truly inspiring to see how much she has done is continuing to do and shifting the game!! This Interview was really dope and flowed they did that!
I love this person. I for one find her mind to be of importance . She will only grow to be more prolific and sound as she lives. Issa has a state of mind that is more then her creative talent. She has the ability to mobilize others for the better. Peace and love to you Issa.
I'm the one who told Issa Rae that she should start acting and the rest is history -- TK Kirkland
😭
💀💀💀
TK Kirkland always trying to take credit for everything!!!!!
Nah..it was actually Soldier Boy that got her on TV!
😂😂😂
Issa Rae had TRULY impacted my life through her creative genius! She will FOREVER be one of the GREATEST creative ICONS ever! I can't wait to see what else she has in store!!! Loveeeeee herrrrr!!! 💜💜💜💜💜
I'm 62, a mother, wife, and grandma and I love love Issa Rae♥️ She's brilliant and so authentic! I wish I could sit and chat with her for awhile over a nice cup of coffee. She's such a BOSS! Blessings 2 Her!
I absolutely LOVE insecure I am so hooked !! All the music the stories with every character it’s just such a great show . Can’t wait to watch whatever she does next !!!
Lots of genuine appreciation, some really good topics discussed & a ton laughs. Great interview & Issa is forever dope!!
Issa is so beautiful!

Very!
This was so dope. I love everything about Issa & as a creative, I’m so inspired by her journey and accomplishments. Yesss Queen, Congrats!
