Love how this brotha was showing this sista love and giving her props. That's how it supposed to be and vice versa.

This lady is massive im loving her vibe energy

When he said we give everyone all we got and don't get the credit I felt that in my soul

I love this! When the Breakfast Club does these kind of interviews and it brings the culture ALIVE!! Thank you.

Watching a beautiful, successful, intelligent black woman speak makes my heart sore! The confidence, the articulation, and the pauses. You know this woman will put you in your place without raising her voice.

There is something special about how the young man in college who got in for football with low grades but red shirted (sit on the bench) the first year to pursue his education in earnest and he got a 4.0. Just knowing that he came from greatness was enough to motivate him. We truly need to understand how powerful that is. We need black psychologists to recreate that in every classroom because once our kids are motivated the sky is the limit.

Fawn Weaver is very inspiring...

👏👏👏...." I OWN IT"...best line I heard all day

they should make a movie about uncle nearest

I’m actually kind of outraged at this video. They totally dodged his question about trickling down some of the money. I read the article about Jack Daniels and Nearest. Nearest taught jack daniels how To make the superior whiskey, jack daniels started a business with that recipe, and in exchange Jack Daniels hired Nearest to work at his distillery. Nearest should’ve been brought on as a partner since it was his skill set a.k.a. intellectual property that provided the whiskey anyway. The Nearest family is owed more than just jobs at the Jack Daniels business they are owed billions and continued revenue. Jack Daniels does over 1.09 billion in sales each year.......and growing.

Strong, intelligent, and melanin like coco butter! So beautiful so inspiring. We must rise as a people! Im on board

Lenard needs to catch that vision Mrs. Weaver prophesied to him. She's a dreamer, a realist, an educator, a believer, and a spiritualist. You can see and hear it in her tone. She has a determined and powerful voice.

Fawn, I just showed this to my grandmother (Juanita) she's so proud of you!!!!

GOD i love some fawn weaver. That women is truly amazing

13:23 in and I'm in love with this story. I am a whiskey and bourbon drinker. This from today forward shall be my new brand of choice. Thank you Nearest

I love this so much! We have so many stories that need to be told about African Americans. This is dope.

Big shout to Fawn Weaver and Kenny Burns for brining Whiskey to the front! Great interview and awesome story!

Sounds like a Netflix special is coming..

My 4th great grandfather is finally getting his credit!!!

Here's where you know the true interests of our community - Tekashi69 Interview gets 4M views, this one will get far less because our youth and even some of the older ones love being entertained but tune out to be educated on REAL boss moves (buying brands and property). Fawn & Kenny are the ones letting nuts hang...These lil dudes would rather rep a block instead of OWNING the block.

This interview= BLACK EXCELLENCE...PERIOD

This is great history in my books, being from Memphis Tennessee I had no idea about this. I will spread the good news. Kenny Burns is well respected in my city and a very humble guy. Kudos to Kenny Burns and Ms. Fawn Weaver for the knowledge and history. I love the culture and the power moves.

That story was Amazing !

Good day Black people ✊🏽❤️

Black people dope af...I love where we're going buy black buy black! Love each other first

One of the most entertaining interviews I've seen all year! Fawn Weaver is an amazing storyteller.

Natural smart intelligent beauty. She is the definition of a Black Queen. Makes we want to step my game up as a man

Omg this interview touched every single bone in my body and made it tingle.. not just the story of a black man who started it but a black man and a white man in togetherness as human beings not seperated or driven by color or hate. I got chills. Im buying a few bottles now.

You can tell the people that didn't watch or listen to this video... Yes the family got paid.

I'm loving this. Black is beautiful. Shalom family!!!

As a proud native of Memphis TN now living in Chattanooga, I will be glad to buy this whiskey!!! Drink of choice other than tequila!!! Great history and love this representation, thanks Fawn and Kenny!

Bought up half of Lynchburg. #POWERFUL

Shes a gangster salute you queen i love to see this

She said we dont care about money. Its easy to say that when you got it like that LOL

Love hearing these type of stories. Just gives you a good energy knowing your worth

I’m glad times has changed and we see more dark skin women who are beautiful and a boss shown in a positive light and is shown appreciation.. need more of this

At least the black woman is wearing her OWN GOD GIVEN HAIR! MY GOODNESS its so refreshing to see a black woman with HER OWN HAIR THAT GREW OUT OF HER OWN SCALP!

Great story!! I am super intrigued by Ms. Fawn Weaver!! Black Queen at its finest✊🏾

Love learning stuff like this.

Back when college was about marketing and networking...

“His ancestors legacy of greatness requires that he does more”

Not only JD whiskey but African Americans also invented the video game console, cellphone technology, the first color computer monitor, the first IBM computer, the air conditioner, blood banks, the modern lightbulb, etc.. I hope this becomes an interview series on black inventors.

This is dope

Whiskey burn my throat but I will endure for the culture...I guess😓

✨Im PROUD.. and have shared NEAREST GREEN'S HISTORY✨

Sounds like Queen Sugar with alcohol.

The Blueprint to recouping generational wealth: do the homework, find the trade, tell your story, get paid, give back. This interview needs to be heard by every The Breakfust Club listener.#NoCap

She (Fawn Weaver) can cuss you out without even raising her voice! She is gorgeous, smooth and just plain jazz in motion.

This would make a great movie! Thanks for sharing info on my favorite whiskey.

These are the stories that African American youth need to hear about. Stories like this one just proves why providing Reparations to the African American community is justified.

I like these 2. So well spoken😍

DOPE interview. And fawn is BEAUTIFUL

Beautiful interview !!!! Looking forward to all the ventures!

"STEP INTO YOUR TRUTH MANE!"- Kenny is the ultimate Hypeman.

Mrs Fawn hair is LAID!!!!! 😍

ahh my daily breakfast club interview fix.wish I could stream the whole show live.im in the u.k

Her speaking skills are so attractive!! Best interview I’ve seen today!!

The minute she speaks intelligence walks in the room and history and relevance 🙌🙌🙌🙌

Teriyaki86 gets millions of views and I bet this important interview will get less than a million.

This video should have 4 million views!

I love the integrity they have in telling this story and in the "competition" between UN and JD. Not a negative word said about JD despite that being a terrible time in our history.

It's nothing but love and knowledge in the room

How do I hire Fawn for a women’s empowerment brunch?! Like seriously I need her energy!

Fawn is one badass name.

Big Win for Kenny Burns

Hmmmm this was very interesting🙏🙌 I see why my grandfather's drink of choice was whiskey and I drink it in his memory!! #BuyBlack #BlackOwnedEverything

Uve acrually been followung this story for abouy a year. Uy is awesome. As an African American woman i always tell my kids legacy is important.

Don’t forget to buy the whiskey everyone🤯

But yet Kenny never directly answers the question, “was money trickled down to Nearest Green and his family”. His answer “they were the richest in the city...by WHAT standard!? Black folk got a problem with symbolic victories which aren’t tangible. The Jack Daniels company needs to provide backpay, royalties etc. which are rightfully deserved.

Respect 2 Mrs Fawn 4 rocking the original Due and looks great, man that’s so gooood 2 see, much respect ✊️

This is such a dope story! I need a bottle. TAKE MY MONEY!!!!

This is the best interview of 2018. Breakfast club does it again.

This should have 10 million views

Kenny Burns been at it a long time he is the man that makes it all move do your research.

Loved the video.....We love using Uncle Nearest on our channel! This history and overall whiskey is amazing. Highly recommend.

Kenny Burns could have a whole hour by himself up here just like our favorite artists or celebrities. Salute to the OG and the Queen.

I need a Fawn Weaver in my life.

Some wonderful history in this episode. I love interviews like this.

Much respect to all who are involved as long as Uncle nearest gets his due I'm good I can appreciate Miss Fawn Weaver because she gives a damn she's a owner she smart which makes her also very sexy I wish her nothing but the best I wish the brand nothing but the best as long as the descendants got some give back I ain't going to complain 💯💯💯💯💯 - THE PAHZAZZ EXPERIENCE 💯HIT THAT CHANNEL💯

Wakanda forever 🖤✊🏾

A lot of folks need to watch the WHOLE VIDEO! And listen closely!!!!

This story should be on film. Spike Lee where are you on this!!!

Maybe CThaGod could have said it differently but it was far from a joke. Give me my flowers while I’m here. #RIPCraigMack

Ok the legacy is great & you spoke very well. So is it safe to say Uncle Nearest's family is honored for generations to come? I know you promised that you keep his name relevant, so I'm praying they are well compensated for the works of something so significant to the culture.

She got her getting an interview for a job voice on 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤭

Powerful sister

i loooovvvvvvee herr

this going to be the most viewed breakfast club interview.....im. calling it.

I want her to be my mentor. Seriously.

this was/is very educative, 111k views isn't what it deserves.....why should 69 have 4.5M views.our generation pays more attention to things that dont really build them

This interview was real and uplifting knowing how excellent we are

This one of the greatest interview ever on the breakfast club!!

"That's the beauty of teaching African Americans history before slavery" Charlemagne still doesn't get it, the story of Nearest is an everyday slave story, we were excelling WHILST enslaved. The person who taught Charles Darwin Taxidermy was born a slave in Guyana also. The era of slavery is nothing to be ashamed of or turn our backs on, there are so many stories like this that need light shed on them.

Come on envy acknowledge Fawn!!

I need to research this sister...I have questions and concerns

This interview is definitely one of my newest favorites...i love this

This needs to be a movie 🎥

I love this woman.

charlamagne wrong for dat Craig Mack statement

Jack Daniels family aint paying Nearest family...soooo i ain't checkin for him. I don't even like whisky but imma buy for the culture
