Damon Dash's return to "The Breakfast Club" was nothing short of the fireworks he usually brings ... he infamously called Charlamagne Tha God a "Chatty Patty" in the past, and this time it's an all-out call for the radio host to come out of the closet!!!

According to Dame's POV, Charlamagne is a poor representation of the standard Black man in America due to his being schooled in the art of gossip by Wendy Williams.

For those who don't know, Charlamagne got an early start working with Wendy and always gives her props ... Dame thinks he needs to get on bended knee and call her "OG."

She also said the "FBI had texts and other communications between Robinson and the individual that helped FBI authorities solidify that Robinson was indeed the shooter."
