Yeah. I don't want this, though. No more of that.

for the party at 5:00-ish,
and tomorrow we leave at 9:30, wheels up, for New York.
And what are we doing with that producer meeting?
Jack is scheduling those.
Um, but about the live album, I was wondering...
Do I have rehearsal tomorrow?
- Is that all set? - Yes, well,
Dan was asking if, perhaps,
you would want to rehearse at his house instead of yours.
I'd said to his assistant that that probably would not...
How many Grammys do I have?
- 11. - Uh-huh.
And how many Grammys does Dan have?
- Eight. - Not 11.
- No. - That's eight.
- That's very fewer than me. - Mm-hmm.
A lot fewer.
You feel free to relay that to his assistant.

Jack, she will have just finished eight shows,
and you want her to fly to Vegas
to have a conversation with the Caesars Palace guy?
It's a residency, okay?
And it's my job to find us our next gig.
This ain't your grandmama's Vegas.
Lil Jon done played there.
DJ Khaled.
Let me do my job, and you do yours, which is:
get her coffee, Kleenex, Kotex
and whatever else the hell we been paying you to do
for the last six months.
Three years.
I've been here for three years.
You get paid?
I thought you were an intern.
Jack, I just feel
like it might be a good idea if she took a break.
That's a good idea.
And what I mean by "good idea"...
screw you and your shitty ideas.
She just got back from Hawaii.
That was work.
Yeah, in Hawaii.
Okay, now, guys, I'm not going back to Hawaii.
If we're gonna do tropical, Jack,
I want to go to the Maldives.
Jack, there hasn't been a new Grace Davis record in a decade,
and the fans want one.
- Okay. - We need one.
Let me tell you something... I've been managing Grace
longer than you've probably been alive.
So you think she should do new material?
- Yeah. - Okay. Guess what.
Don't nobody give a shit about new material.
Okay?
That last album she did,
it didn't do as well as she had hoped.
Matter of fact, those was not Grace Davis numbers,
and you know it.
That was a reality check,
people letting us know it's time to move on.
- To a Vegas residency? - Yeah.
Don't nobody want to go to no Yankee Doodle
Springsteen concert and hear him play
that Wrecking Ball folksy bullshit.
Actually, that was an incredibly poignant album,
and it did extremely well.
People want "Thunder Road," okay?
And that's what we gonna give 'em.
We gonna give 'em "Thunder Road."
That's how I pay my mortgage.
But you wouldn't know that,
'cause your little ass ain't got no mortgage.

you wanted to have that conversation.
Oh.

Sorry.
I'm kidding.
I can't believe he pulled that.
He's just looking out for me.
He and I have been hustling together since I was...
since I was 18.
I used to do these sets at these late-night,
divey piano bars.
They were, like, sticky floors, like, smoke everywhere.
Sound system was terrible.
They were awful. Like, awful.
And every night, Jack would...
He would show up, and he'd be standing in the back...
and his mouth was just, like, hanging open, looking at me.

It's the gateway to, like, Stockholm syndrome.

Yeah, my... I left my phone in the car.

- Yes. - Phone down. Eyes on me.

give you this, like, life-changing shot
and you guys are gonna ride off into the sunset

she's gonna stop making you

And I say, "I got the perfect person.

He'd rather do Rihanna."
Well, I... I apologize for that.
And-and now that I'm the producer,
I will look for my replacement.
Do you know how long it took for Seth
to get a little-bitty engineering credit?
Being a producer is about having a point of view
that you've earned over years of hard work.
It don't happen like this.
You're not a producer. You're not a artist.
You're not a manager.
If you want to be a producer,
you find your own goddamn clients
and stay the hell out of mine.

No, we don't have to leave so quickly.

I went, technically, to Elton John's, um, Oscar party.
That doesn't count.

Why are you performing at grocery stores?
I like it.
It's fun. It's no pressure.
It's just... it's nice.
Well, you can write.
And you've got the voice and the tone

That Marvin Gaye and...
This Elmore James,
I had this CD in my car for, like, six years.
That was the first album my dad gave me.
Really?
Well, I, um... I would love to...
I mean, if you are...
I-I could work with you if you wanted.
I'm listening.
Well, you have an amazing sound.
Thank you.
I mean, there's a couple of things that I-I-I...
If I may?
Please, you may.
Um, I think that your producer might, uh, be...
sucks.
He's a friend of mine, and he does it for free.
I mean, what... what exactly do you want to do differently?
Well, to start, I would...
Your bassist is way too loud.
And then I'd probably drop that weird drum track.
And then I'd move the bridge up.
And then you should definitely be singing into a real mic.
I mean, I'm so sorry, but where
did you record this, in a closet?
Wine cellar.
Who?
My wine cellar.
I thought the acoustics would be better.
Ooh.
Will you send me the files?
No.
Please?
Come to my show next week.
Oh.
Um, I... well, I should ask Katie,
'cause next week, I was...
- What's that? - A jacket.
So I'll see you next Friday?
Oh, my God. Do you wear this?
Oh, my God.
What is that?
This looks like Stevie Nicks

Why are you leaving early?
You never leave early.
Um...
because I got to go to this thing at, uh, the airport.

This is exactly what happens.
It starts off with a thing,
and then you're gonna ask for a weekend off.
All of you assistants are the same.
You get lured in here by the glitz, the glamour,
the swag, the celebrity, the pool house.
You live in the pool house.

See, these are a gift from Grace.
Do I prefer Dior? Of course I do.
Am I gonna tell her that?
No. I'm gonna be grateful for what I have

And I can wear it.

Mm, yes.

No, not you. You guys can go.

A producer never discusses artists
with other artists.
That's just not part of the... those...
- It's... - Okay.
Okay.
How do you, um...
How do you know how to do all of this stuff?
I grew up around music
and musicians and people talking about music.
My dad worked in radio, and my mom was a singer.
And then I went to school for composing,
and then immediately after, I started, um, producing.
If you could point to any time in my life,
good or bad, I could tell you
who I was listening to and how I got through it.
And if I had the opportunity to work with an artist like you
and create something that could maybe make somebody
or anybody feel a little bit less alone,
then I want to be a part of that.
I know how to be a part of that.

Grace Davis is set to release a live album
recorded at her tenth world tour.
The music icon has remained a remarkably private person.
She's never married or had children
and is tight-lipped about her plans for the future.

when can they expect another hit?
But first, hit maker Cardi B on what it's like

Sax player.
He plays better than anyone else I know.
So, you said your mom was a singer?
Well, she was. Um, she died when I was six.
- Oh, I'm sorry. - That's okay.
Um, she, uh, met my dad
backstage at a Paul Simon concert.
My dad was there covering the show for work.
And they met, and then she moved in with him the next day,
and they got married a month later.
Pretty crazy.
Not that crazy.
What about your mom and dad?
Never married.
My mom, um, she left me with my dad when I was little.
And, um, it was complicated.
I don't know.
My dad's cool, though.

Okay.

Don't beg me.
David, you have an incredible voice.
When you sing, it's restrained
and impassioned and nostalgic, and...
people outside of various L.A. community centers
should hear it.
Yeah, but what if I'm not good enough?
- What? - What if I'm just
some douchebag who thought he could be a singer
like everybody else, and then what?
Then what am I supposed to do?
Oh, my God.
What?
You're insecure.
This is amazing.
I'm coming at you with
some deep-seated anxiety right now, and...
No, you're just self-sabotaging,
and I can work with that.
Sorry.
Hello? Hello?
Oh, okay. I will...
Yes, I'll be right there.
Okay.
Um, that was another client, so I have to go.

But don't do it like it's your farewell tour.
It's not over for you.
You said it in there.
You said it... a new album.
That is what you should be doing.
Do you know what they were avoiding saying in there?
What?
In the history of music,
only five women over 40 have ever had a number one hit.
And only one of them was black.
One.
Do you understand that?
No.
You do not understand that.
And none of you guys in there
understand what I have been through.
So, I don't know. Uh, we could just pretend.
We could pretend that we live in some sort of magical world
where, I don't know... let's see...
age and race are not a thing.
And then do you know what the problem is?
I... not the label, not Jack, not you...
have to come up with shit that people give a shit about,
and I don't know how to do that anymore.
I don't know if I know how to do that.
Oh, my God.

Oh, no, no, no.
