‐ You know, I played Bobby
your tape before he left.

He like, "That's‐‐that's
the guy I need.

I need that bass."

‐ Sign with me.

Sounds better than slanging

on the corner and
getting locked up, right?

‐ How the fuck you gon'
even say some shit like that

to me, man?

You know you dope.

‐ Go get that cream, son.

‐ Yo, I need to fuck
with my own name.

I see you, Inspectah.

Picked a new name.
Shallah Raekwon.

‐ You know, if that
bullet would've went

this way or that way, shit
could've been sideways for you.

‐ Hey, yo, you wasting
our studio time.

‐ My voice is a
instrument, fool!

The one‐man army Ason!

‐ What even is this, a quill?

The dead nation must arise,

for the time is at hand.

Are you not ready to rise?

I was putting together a crew.

You're both a part
of it, a'ight?

‐ Nah, I ain't in no crew.

‐ You seem to be riding
for somebody pretty hard

when you blasted my mom
crib, remember that?

Y'all are my brothers. I
can't do this without you.

The whole industry will
know that Wu‐Tang Clan

ain't nothing to fuck with.

‐ Pssh.

Hey, yo, son, these
contracts is mad thick, son.

‐ I ain't finna sit here
and read all this shit.

You better off telling
niggas what you want.

‐ Give me five
years of your life.

‐ He's late.

‐ Hey, yo, uh...

I'm really fucking
with that suit.

‐ How about you focus
on the meeting, huh?

Yo, you sure we can
trust this lawyer, huh?

‐ Yeah, yeah.

Mr. Wagner. He did my, uh‐‐

my Prince Rakeem deal, so, um...

‐ Oh, okay. Is‐‐is
that a good thing?

You know, because the
reason we're here...

‐ Oh, fuck off. ‐ Is because

‐ of this Prince Rakeem
deal. ‐Mister Diggs?

We're here to incorporate

Wu‐Tang Productions.

You're sure about
the name, Wu‐Tang?

‐ Yeah.

Your whole lobby has
an Asian vibe to it.

We thought you'd be into it.

‐ Yeah, on my walls.
We already own it.

The name stays.

Your brother? ‐ Divine.

And my business partner.

‐ My firm can handle everything.

Once we get the trademark,
we can begin to‐‐

‐ Oh, I already registered.

Here's the city of approval,

business license, PO box.

Mm, you got the DBA, too?

‐ Yeah, we like to hit
the ground running.

You got a logo?

Our design team is
working on mockups.

‐ I prefer to file
everything at once,

but, uh, we can
proceed without it.

‐ Could that be
problematic or...?

‐ Not unless you
plan to use the image

on any apparel, merchandise,
posters, album covers, flyers,

or anything else intended to
promote the company until then.

‐ I thought we had
Mathematics on that shit?

‐ You'll have it by
tomorrow. ‐ Perfect.

That way, I can have
my assistant review

the pro forma before
we submit to the board.

‐ Pro forma. Of course.

Oh. Why are there eight names

listed under
recipient of shares?

‐ I wanted to divide the company

among the other group members.

‐ Let them each
invest if you like,

but don't give away any shares.

‐ Look, me and you both know
how shit went down before.

Business mandates got in the
way of creative decisions.

What I'm trying to do is
build this group on a...

on a more spiritual level.

‐ Spiritual? Okay.

That's why I'm the lawyer and
you're the artist, Rakeem.

‐ It's RZA now. ‐
RZA, Rakeem, Bobby,

it's the same answer
for all three of you‐‐

don't give away a single share.

Talk some sense
into your partner.

It's, um...

it's kind of like
selling a brick.

You got to‐‐you got to
recoup before you pay out.

‐ Yeah.

‐ You're the client.
It's your call.

Just know, if you've got eight
entities from the get‐go,

I'm gonna have to set
this company up as an LLC

so I can protect you
when this goes bad.

Will you be able
to get each member

to sign individual contracts?

‐ Yeah, yeah. Of course.

Let's touch base tomorrow.

But a little bookkeeping
before you go‐‐

we take personal checks
and all major credit cards.

Yeah, that works.

‐ Always keep me waiting.

‐ The RZA and Divine
of Wu‐Tang Productions,

guys, meet another of
my talented clients.

‐ Chris. Nice to meet you.

‐ When did you get in?

‐ Last night.
Whirlwind weekend.

Took the redeye home
after the Tunnel.

You had a‐‐you had a
performance at the Tunnel?

- Yeah.
- Sick.

I can put you on the list.

Forget the damn list. Play
one of Wu‐Tang's songs.

Look, this guy charges
me by the hour,

and he starts the clock
when we make eye contact.

So leave me a tape
and your info, a'ight?

‐ A'ight. Yo.

‐ Oh. Hey, yo, yo, sorry.

Hey, we ran out
of... business cards.

Shit.

‐ Um... shut it.

‐ Need to go and get
some egg cartons.

‐ Yeah, and add business
cards to the list, too, huh?

The most important thing

is to get everyone to
sign those contracts.

‐ Yo, that stack you gave him,

was that all the
money you had left?

‐ Pretty much, but it's
worth every dollar.

It's all talk until everybody
signs on that dotted line.

Yo, but good shit in
there with the lawyer.

I see you been reading that
book from cover to cover.

‐ Thanks. Yeah.

But what the fuck
does pro forma mean?

Yo, yo.

Let's get this studio built

so we can control
our own destiny.

Now we can make our
music independently,

without a label.

We finish this up,

we can fit at least two
MCs in a booth at once.

‐ So we building a real studio?

‐ Yep, yep, yep.

I got Power out now

getting all the equipment,
and, uh, the rest is up to us.

‐ Hey, yo, this shit
is mad rusty, son.

‐ Yeah, well, it
gets the job done.

Yo, you even allowed
to do all of this?

Don't renovations

Yo, at my mom's spot‐‐

‐ We finish up the booth, then
we get started on the speakers.

All right?

‐ Where?

‐ Ain't no room
for a bed as it is,

let alone a crib.

Gonna hang them
from the ceiling.

‐ A'ight, so which one of
y'all done construction before?

'Cause...

Men, where's Divine at?

He the one that's good

with all this Bob Vila‐ass‐shit.

Yo, he's out
handling Wu business.

It's up to us to handle this.

I'll get started on the booth,

and you two can
install the bass traps.

‐ Nah, I got it.

‐ Hey, yo, I know what
you trying to do, son.

‐ I'm trying to make dope music.

Can't do that until
we finish this up.

So y'all two niggas
better figure it out.

Shurrie.

She must be on her
way with the baby.

He, yo, genius! ‐ Yo.

I can't even make a phone call.

I thought you were gonna
activate the landline.

‐ Empty your pockets.

I'll go hit the pay
phone, get us set up, yo.

That's the mic?

‐ Oh, not just any
microphone‐‐ brass capsules,

state‐of‐the‐art components,

and the last one
we have in stock.

The Ensoniq EPS 16 Plus sampler,

two mixers, cables, controllers,

headphones, three

That's two bricks.

‐ Bricks, sir?

Hey, this for you.

Pack all that shit up, kid.

Appreciate that.

‐ Yo, you unplugged

Wouldn't be the first time.

No, you and‐‐you and
Shurrie take the bed.

I got the couch.

‐ Shit, ain't nobody

"Is it a problem?"
What are we doing here?

‐ Peace, God.

Uh, so how can I help you?

‐ Need to activate the phone
line for account 235‐A34.

And name on the account?

‐ Wu‐Tang Productions.

It appears there's an
outstanding balance

of $580 listed here.

How would you like
to pay that today?

‐ That's not our balance.
That's the last tenant.

Oh, okay, then
you'll need to fax

your lease agreement over,
or you can bring it down

to one of our satellite offices.

‐ How we gonna fax something
without a working line?

Man, fuck all that bullshit.

Sir, that language
is unacceptable.

‐ Yo, look‐‐

What the fuck's going

Fuck.

Got to get these

How's that?

he's ever taken in his life.

A'ight?

A'ight. Bet.

Shit. Light me up.

About to blow, light me up.

Oh, shit.

Yo, hit it, dog.

‐ Hey, yo, hit that shit, nigga.

Hit that shit.

‐ Bro, hit it, God.

Come on, son.

Hit that shit one time.

Yeah, that's some
good bone right there.

Word.

Badass. Keep that ass in.

‐ I'm surprised
he's still sleeping.

‐ How long was he
out for on the bus?

‐ The entire ride.

I was able to read a whole book.

‐ That's my boy. ‐ Yeah.

Well, your boy is
gonna be up all night.

Please tell me
you got that crib.

‐ Yeah, I got it. ‐ Okay.

‐ I just got to
finish building it.

Look, we was building the
studio and shit all day.

‐ Okay.

‐ Motherf‐‐

Hey, yo, I guess I'm a
professional handyman now.

The building is a lot
nicer than you described.

‐ Yeah.

They got a park down the street

with a little jungle gym.

‐ We had all that.

What was missing
in Ohio was you.

Mm‐hmm.

Mm.

‐ Cute.

I'm guessing this the one.

‐ Welcome home.

Yo!

What's going on, D?

Ghost up in the house.

‐ Hey, yo, you build this?

‐ Not me. The Chef.

Yo.

Yeah.

Check it.

- Yeah, Meth!

- Killer tape, God.

Yo.

‐ Did you really think we was
all gonna live up in there?

‐ They not all living here, Rie.

Come on, we‐‐we talked
about this already.

Why you acting all surprised?

‐ I knew it was small, but
not that kind of small.

‐ I know, but it was bigger

before we put all Bobby's
equipment and shit.

All right?

Bobby already agreed
to take the couch.

‐ What about the baby?

‐ We can put the
crib in the kitchen.

It's not always gonna
be like this, Rie.

‐ Of course it will.

‐ What other option we got?

‐ Dennis, I told you
we need our own place.

‐ And I told you we
can't rent another‐‐

‐ Shh! ‐ We can't
rent another spot,

because we gon' blow
through our savings

in, like, two months.

What else are we supposed to do?

‐ I don't know. This
is not gonna work.

‐ Yo, Ghostface Killah.

‐ Yo, what up, what
up, son? What up?

‐ Yo, Bobby wants
to talk business.

‐ All right. I'll
be right there.

‐ Hey, what's up, Shurrie?

‐ Look, let me just go in there

and handle this
real quick, a'ight?

I'll be right back out.

Come on, Rie.

‐ Ghostface Killah?

Contract?

Mm‐hmm, that's right, contract.

So every contract
is exactly the same.

Now, you all be signed
on to Wu‐Tang Productions

as a group and as
individual artists.

Now, what that means is that
you still have the ability

to do your solo albums,

but you still stay
a part of Wu‐Tang.

‐ What we're trying to do...

is create a business, right?

Now, in order to do that...

we got to paper up.

I see each and every one of
y'all as fucking stars, yo.

Now, for the rest of
the world to see that,

I need three things.

I need time.

I need control.

‐ Control? ‐ I need trust.

And I swear to God,

I'll take you all the way
to the fucking top, yo.

We'll change this
entire fucking industry.

What do you say?

‐ Yo, son, these contracts
is mad thick, son.

‐ Word. ‐ I ain't
finna sit here

and read all this shit.

You better off just telling
niggas what you want.

‐ Know what I mean? ‐ Word.

What's wrong with this man?

‐ Give me five
years of your life.

‐ Five years?

You can keep this shit,
son. ‐ Five years?

‐ Yo, B. ‐ Come on, man.

‐ Five years is a long time.

‐ Yo, son, the judge
wasn't even gonna give you

five years back in Ohio.

‐ Come on, son. Sha...

‐ Don't Sha me, nigga.

What the fuck is
this nigga doing?

Who knows you all
better than Bobby?

Nigga, he was signed to a label.

He gave control to those
greedy‐ass executives already.

Nigga, they weren't family.
Look how that shit turned out.

‐ He got paid, though.

‐ But he got paid a
fraction of what we can make

if we all came
together, my nigga.

Just listen for a second.
See, my man get it.

Yo, son, what's pro forma?

‐ A'ight. A'ight, yo.

We‐‐we, uh‐‐we built this
studio together, right?

‐ Word!

In order to keep
this shit together,

you got to tighten every
motherfucking screw.

You got to hammer in every nail.

That's what this fucking
contract serves as...

to keep us together.

The fucking paperwork
only comes into play

if we break our
word‐‐ that's it.

I'm just asking y'all niggas
to take the first step.

After that...

I got y'all.

And yo, y'all, deep
down in your hearts,

y'all know that shit, right?

Right?

Right.

Look at us, we a family.

We fucking family, right?

‐ Yo, son, I'd rather make
hits than get hit any day.

I'll sign it, son.

- Here we go, Bobby.
- Word.

‐ You got to nod yourself.

‐ We're all family,
right, Bobby?

‐ Yo, put that
beat back on, son.

‐ So this my...

Turn that shit up.

Are you‐‐you gon' sign that?

‐ No, it's cypher.

Well, cuz, you already know
my word is my bond, right?

What? You know I'm here.

‐ Yeah. Bobby, tell him.

My nigga.

‐ Sooh!

‐ Come in.

Come in. I got
you. ‐ Thank you.

Hey, yo, you really think
we're gonna make it, son?

‐ Oh, Sha.

How long you been up?

‐ Shit, that would
require falling asleep.

You talk to Shurrie?

‐ Yeah, I'ma head over
there in a minute.

Yo, I got to make this
work for my family, son.

She'll come back around, yo.

She has to.

Nah, son.

We just need a spot
of our own. That's it.

‐ We got this crib so
we could save money...

you know...

Make music.

Yeah, I know.

Yo...

We're gonna make it.

‐ Whoo‐whoo!

That shit's hot.

Hell, yeah. What's it called?

‐ "Method Man."

Hey, you got something
on your hands.

Hell, yeah.

‐ So you gonna play that
shit in the club tonight?

What's up? ‐ I can't do it.

‐ Why the fuck not?

‐ Look, the audio
levels are off.

If I play this at the club,

it'll sound like the song
is playing through a phone.

All right, here, check
this out, check this out.

A'ight, now look
at these levels.

You see how this song
hits that mark up there?

That's what you want.

‐ Yo, we spent all
that fucking money

on the audio equipment.

‐ I understand, man,

but there's only so
much you can do at home.

To get this to the next
level, it needs to be recorded

in a real studio to
get the sound right,

or at least mixed and
mastered in studio.

‐ Yo, how much is
that gonna cost?

‐ I mean... ‐ Fuck
this shit, man.

‐ Hey, yo. Yo!

Something I said?

Look, we have all the parts

you already recorded here.

How many hours do
we need in a studio?

Like, total?

‐ It's not even about hours, yo.

It's about days,
maybe even weeks.

We're gonna have
to rent studio time

for every single
song that we do.

And we don't have the funds.

‐ Well, you‐‐you can
apply for a credit card.

‐ Me?

Both of us can. ‐ Yo.

‐ Come on, now, what
more can we lose?

‐ Think about how long
that's gonna take.

A'ight, no. No, no.

Maybe we can ask Jerome.

A'ight.

Look at us.

So damn broke, we can
only afford one egg roll.

You think that's the
building manager?

‐ You ready to get evicted?

‐ No, you getting evicted.

I live with my girlfriend.

‐ What's up, bro?
Yo, what's up?

How you? ‐ I'm all right.

‐ What's up, bro? All good?

Yeah. Yo, yo.

‐ Answering the door like
I'm the police or some shit.

Y'all good?

‐ Yeah, we okay.

‐ You know this my shit, right?

All this equipment right here?

Keyboards, the
speakers, the mic.

Everything you asked me
for, I gave you, right?

- Yes.
- Yes.

‐ We can't have your
shit sounding bad

in the club, right?

Go to the studio. Do
what you got to do.

I told you on that damn
boat I was in all the way.

Know what I mean? I
believe in this shit.

‐ No, no, nigga, I
thought you were broke.

‐ I sold my whip.

‐ Shit, man. ‐ Come here, dog.

‐ Yo, yo, Math. Peace, God.

‐ Peace, God.

Got that?

Oh, shit.

Yeah? Yeah.

- Yeah, nigga.
- Yeah.

Hell, yeah.

Get on the line.
