[Raymond] Hector.

I thought you were supposed
to be at boot camp.

You know,
I was gonna shoot your ass.

I ought to rearrange your face.

That's what I should do.

What the fuck is with that durag
on your head anyway?

[window closes]

[Hector] I don't know
what the hell

you are doing at my crib.

But I want this shit...

out of my room.

[Raymond] What you mean shit?

What shit?

This shit.

It's fucking garbage.

Hey, this isn't garbage.

This is something
that you don't get to see

in the infantry, my man.

People are sick of it.

Have you been busted
for this yet?

Never, never.

You mean to tell me
that I'm busting my ass,

I'm sending money home
for you and Mom...

and you're sitting at home,

doing this shit?

Maybe you should be honored
a medal for this.

Stop fucking around
and be a man.

There ain't nothin' out here
for you.

Oh, yes, there is.

This.

[Raymond] Yo, Chico, um...

Is Connie inside the store?

She ain't here, bro. What's up?

Hey, I just wanted to find out

if they needed any help
in the store

or anything, you know.

Let me tell you,

Connie don't have no jobs
but this one.

And I don't think you're
man enough to take it from me.

If you really needed a job,
you would've came here last week

when all them graffiti guys
got together

and painted this mural.

They got some green off of that.

Yo, I don't hang out
with those guys.

Man, I ain't got nothing to do
with those dudes.

And then I saw your female
with them, too.

[Chico] What's up with her?

I've been hearing that
she's been giving that stuff out

to all them graffiti guys.

Yo, shut the fuck up,
Chico, man.

I could paint three
of those murals

for some of that ass.

Yo, you wouldn't have
a chance in a million, chump.

Yeah.

[train screeching]

[spray can rattling]

[indistinct chatter]

[chatter continues]

[Rose] Crash.

You should, like,
uh, see to that.

Give these, over here,
these stuck over paint,

are fillin' again.

'Cause, like, that brick's
also fucked up.

Don't get drips now.

[Crash] Drips?

-Don't worry about it.
-[Rose] Yes, drips.

[indistinct chatter]

-[man] Yo, Red.
-[Red] What?

[spray can rattling, hissing]

-[Crash] What you doing?
-'Cause you're not covering.

-You're not using too much.
-[Crash] Are you crazy?

[spray can hissing]

[indistinct chatter]

You're gonna get that
filled in more, right?

[Raymond] Hey, Rose!

[indistinct chatter]

[Raymond] Rose!

Yo, I'll see you guys later,
man.

All right, man.
Nice to meet you, man.

All right, I'll check you out,
man, you're cool.

[Raymond] All right.

[Z-Roc] Yo, man. Wait up,
I just wanna talk to you, man.

I wanna talk to you
about the Union.

[Raymond] What about the Union?

I don't wanna talk about
those guys.

[Z-Roc] These guys are making
a lot of money, man.

I think you should be down
with this.

[Z-Roc] The guy who paid them
is only around at night,

when the place opens up.

This big black dude, uh,

I think his name is Phade.

[Raymond] Oh, shit! Phade?

I know that guy.

[Z-Roc]
Yo, this is only the beginning

of what the Union guys
are gonna do for money.

'Cause when this article
comes out--

-[Raymond] What article?
-[Z-Roc] Yo, this lady reporter,

her name is Virginia.

She's coming to interview them
tomorrow, at the Dixie Mural.

[Raymond] If she's doing
something on the Union,

then obviously, she's gonna do,

like, their pictures,

and they don't even got
whole cars rollin'.

They don't even know
what whole car is.

[Z-Roc] The lady said
that some museum

might be interested
in their work.

[Raymond] What work?

[Z-Roc] They're doing graffiti,
on canvas.

[Raymond] So now they're
making graffiti on canvas?

Graffiti ain't canvases.

Graffiti's on the trains
and on the walls.

And they ain't got nothing
to talk about.

Ah!

I like that.

Completely brand-new.

[Raymond]
And being a graffiti writer

is taking the chances and shit.

Taking the risks.

Taking, like, all the arguments
from the transit,

from the police,
from your own mom, you know.

From your friends and shit.

You know, you gotta take
all that bullshit.

"Ah, you're vandalizing
on the street."

[Raymond] I remember
when Butch and Kase

were really bombing
with nice whole cars.

And Pnut and Tracy
was king of the D's.

And Caine 1 was really
whole-carring

on the damn 7 line.

[Z-Roc] Oh, shit.
That looks brand-new

with the windows and all.

That's the newest stuff
I've seen.

How can you call people
that hang out in windows

and watch trains riders, man?

You gotta write. You gotta do
the action, man, you know?

You gotta go out there, rack up!

You gotta go out and paint.

[Raymond] And be called
an outlaw at the same time.

# Busy Bee is my name
And that's a fact #

# And you can't beat that
With a stickball bat #

# Now I walk around
As sly as can be #

# In the MC world
There's no better than me #

# Man, I'm badder than bold

# The best MC life ever had #

# When I came to Earth
By a meteorite #

# They didn't wanna
Give me a try #

It could make you dance #

# So they finally
Made Dog gave me a chance #

# And I rock the house
So viciously #

# All the girls

# So get down
Stop that messin' around #

# Because Busy Bee

# I said bein' an MC
Just wasn't my choice #

# But I soon found out
I had the golden voice #

# I was too hot to handle
Too cold to hold #

# Because MC's ran
From mic control #

# When it came to that
I was one of the best #

# I can rock it non-stop
The east and west #

# And like, Mickey Mouse
Yosemite Sam #

# When I shock the house
Don't give a damn #

# I was walkin' through
The jungle #

From the Ranch Crew land #

# Look in the tree
Who do I see #

# Two mother fuckas
Tryin' to freak with me #

To come in our spot #

# You got to own three girls
And a mansion and a yacht #

# You gotta come inside
And people stride #

# You gotta bet cash money
To keep the game alive #

# And stay on your feet
From nine to five #

# Because the boys of the ranch
Don't take no jive #

# They know #

-# Oh, yeah #
-# Uh-huh #

will I get paid for it?

Hell yeah, man!
You gonna get G--

Yo, where you get
your information from?

"He gonna get paid."
You don't get paid

for interview and shit.

You don't get paid for that.

Yeah, he'll come out in it,
but he's not gonna get money.

Yeah, but that's true
what he said, man.

I don't, I don't want my picture
in the papers, man.

Look, man.

I know how
the publicity machine works.

She gonna get cash money
for this.

You might not get the money,
like, right now,

but you gonna have money
like Barry White, man.

You can do all kinda crazy shit
you wanna do

this publicity, man.

# I fell in love with you #

# Pretty baby #

# I fell in love with you #

# Whoa, oh #

# Pretty baby #

# Whoa, oh #

[Phade] Tell this dude, man.

I did some deft pieces
on the train, man,

that'll burn this shit,
right, Ray?

Yeah. But, Phade,

when was the last time
you were in the yard?

Yo, man. I tell you, like this,

I haven't been in the yards
in a while, man.

[Phade] But I'm ready.

Then how about tonight?
We go tonight.

Oh, man, you wanna go
to the yards tonight?

-[Raymond] Yo, man, I'm down.
-Look at this guy.

I'll go out to the boom avenue
yards, man.

-[Phade] Yeah, it's chills.
-That'd be cool. Me and you,

and this guy, man.

-That'd be great.
-[Phade] Like the old times.

As long as you got the paint.

[car engine sputtering]

[sputtering continues]

[indistinct chatter]

Hey, lady, need any help?

All right, now you kids touch
this car,

I'm calling the cops,
I'm not kidding.

Where are the telephones?

Well, they're still around
the corner,

but they've been busted out
for two years.

-[Virginia] Really?
-Yeah.

But there's one up the hill.

In about eight blocks up
McKinley Square.

-[Virginia] Eight blocks?
-Yeah.

[sighs]

[kid 1] Hey, ain't you
that lady reporter

-looking for the...
-[groans]

graffiti artist by the Dixies?

Yeah!

I'm looking for
the graffiti artist.

[all] We are all
graffiti artists.

[Virginia] Well, let's go
to the Dixies!

-All right, let's go.
-Yeah!

[kid 2] Slow it down,
slow it down.

-[indistinct chatter]
-[kid 3] Watch out!

[crowd laughing]

[Phade] Relax, she'll be here.
Just hang out.

-Chill out.
-Yo, bro, I'm not gonna wait

for her, man,
I haven't eaten all day.

How am I gonna do this man?

-You know?
-Yeah, don't wait for her, man.

Don't wait for her.
I'll tell you what, man.

Come with me now, right?
And you know,

I'll get you some lunch,
I'll hook you up with something.

I got a little bank, you know,
no problem.

-I hear you, that's cool.
-All right.

Man, can't you guys
just wait here

about a half hour, man.

Yo, I'll be back, man.

I'm just gonna munch up
a little bit, man.

-I'm pretty hungry, I'm serious.
-Yo, let him come back.

You know. We'll wander off.

Look, man, as long as you guys
come right back,

everything will be hunky-dory.

Article or no article, man,
I can't deal with this shit.

We might not have
another chance.

Lotta mailman's down here.

-[Rose chuckles]
-I know, right.

They probably took
her gold, man.

You know what I'm saying?

[indistinct chatter]

[Rose] Oh, shit.

Oh. What the hell is that?

Who are those kids?

[Rose] I don't know. Looks like
they're wrecking up the car.

Wow, watch.
That should be our reporter.

[Virginia] Hello, I'm here!

It's about time.

-[kid 4] Yeah, yeah!
-[kids clapping]

[whooping]

I'm sorry I'm so late.

My car broke down, I got lost.

I got a lot of help, though.

Wow! What a great mural.

How you doin'? This the Union.

-[Crash] Hello.
-My crew.

Yeah, I'm Daze. How you doin'?

[Rose] Crash and Caz,
over there.

How did you get started
painting graffiti?

Young. It was hard.

-I was scared.
-At an impressionable age.

-[Crash] You know what I mean.
-[Caz] But I got over it.

You just, pick it up.

It's like a virus.

These guys came into the scene,

and I just started hanging out
with them.

Got to love graffiti.
The trains.

She got on the jock.

Aren't you scared to be a girl
and do it?

[Virginia] How long did it take
you to paint this wall?

[Daze] Uh, we just came,
like, in the morning.

It took us, like,
about four hours to paint it.

[Rose] And we got quite
a few jobs lined up.

Store gate signs.

We're trying to do a lot
for the community now.

[Daze] It's all about
the community now.

-Yeah. Tryin' to, like...
-[Daze] Make it

-a better place to live.
-...liven up a few things.

It's makin' us jobs,

but I'm trying to make it
a living, I guess.

Does this mean an end
to your subway graffiti?

No, I don't think
there really could be an end

to subway graffiti.

-[train rumbling]
-But...

[Rose] Hold on!

Look at that Zoro!

[Caz] Zoro.

I've heard about this guy, Zoro.

Do you know him?

Nobody really knows him.

[Caz] Like, um,
a mystery person.

Yeah, like, his pieces
are there,

but, like, who's doing them,
we don't know.

[spray can hissing]

[hissing continues]

[Z-Roc] Yo, what are you doin'
over here?

I've been looking all over
for you, man.

I don't wanna hang out
by the cars, man.

I don't wanna get busted, man.

[Z-Roc] You know, Phade, man,
where is the guy, man?

He's supposed
to have been here already.

I know the guy
is your friend and everything,

I know he's been your friend
for a long time and all,

but, like, the thing is,

I don't know, his intentions
might not be so good, you know.

I don't think
he's totally, like,

straightforward with you,
you know what I'm saying?

What are you talking about?
He's a great guy, man.

He's an old writer.
He knows more about graffiti

than me
and you put together, man.

[Raymond] He's cool,
don't worry about it.

Watch out
for the third rail, baby.

[Phade] That shit
is high voltage.

-[Virginia] Ow!
-Who is that?

I don't know.

Oh, shit. Yo!

Zoro!

[chuckles]
What's up?

My man.

So, Z-Roc, ready to paint
your masterpiece?

Yo, I'm ready to paint,
Virginia, but...

yo, what are you doing here
in the yard?

You're not supposed to be here.

Phade thought it was okay.
Why not?

Why'd you bring
this lady for, man?

She's cool, man.
She down with me, man.

-She went to--
-That's right,

she's down with you, man,
and we get raided, man!

-But don't worry, man--
-This place is pretty shaky, man

and be getting raided too much.
What happens if the cops come?

-I'm not gonna take chances...
-Yo.

You shouldn't have come here.

Oh, you don't know
what you're talking about.

Yo, I came here to paint,
not to bullshit, all right?

So like, fuck you,
fuck the newspaper,

fuck all that shit, man.

I'm leaving the yard.

[train horn blares in distance]

[clicks tongue]
Man.

Yo, why the hell
is he leaving, man?

He's a flake, man.
Don't worry about that sucka.

-Yo, man, listen--
-Yo, I'm not gonna finish

my piece, man.
Not with this lady around, man.

-That shit's--
-[camera shutter clicks]

Yo, what the fuck
is this shit, man?

I don't like that shit, man!
I want no fucking pictures taken

-of my shit, man!
-Man, relax!

Nah, man.
That shit is fucked up, man!

That shit can get us busted
over here, man.

Don't you realize
that shit, Phade?

Relax, man. It's for the good--

No, no!
I'm not gonna relax, man!

[Raymond] I'm getting the fuck
outta here!

[Phade] Look. We got a car.

She's got a car parked
right over there, man.

[Raymond] So let's get
the fuck outta here!

[Phade] Come on, let's go then,
fuck it.

# And don't forget the A
Rock to the beat #

# To the break of day
And rock to the beat #

# And listen to what I say #

# Walkin' down the street
And I met this girl #

# Told the girl
What it's gonna be #

# Let's go to my house
And community #

# Then I hit her with a rap
That was so bad #

# I took the girl up to my pad #

# Got home
She start bustin' on me #

# I took to myself
I know this can't be #

# The girl turned around
And then she broke #

# And that's flat out #

# Like it was some kind
Of toast #

# She said, "Baby be calm
Baby be cool #

# Let me teach you
The golden rule" #

# But yes, my mellow
Do y'know what I said? #

-# Laid her monkey ass #
-# What? #

-# Shoved her monkey ass #
-# What? #

# Threw her monkey ass
In my waterbed #

# I said, Caz #

# My mell-ow, get on the mic
And serve 'em well #

# It was me, the L, the A
And the R #

# And then I slipped away
To make a phone call #

# To this very day
It was a move I regret #

# But I didn't know then
So I called Yvette #

# I said, "Hello pretty mama
It's your lover man" #

# She said, "Baby, come on over
As quick as you can" #

# I said, "I can't come now
Someone's comin' to get me" #

# Then she said, "I'm all alone
There's nobody with me" #

# Thought for a second,
"Oh, shit, she's alone!" #

# Then I was knockin'
At her door #

# Before she hung up the phone #

# She let me in the house
And gave me a kiss #

# And said, "Give me that thing
That you know I miss" #

# So we went into her room
And we got high #

# But she couldn't keep her hand
From off my fly #

# So I made her lock the door
Went to check it #

# And when I came back in
The girl was naked #

# That was my cue to do the do #

# I took my clothes off
And started on the prove #

# Well I was tearin' shit up
And 'bout a quarter to three #

# She said,
"Caz! Somebody's comin'!" #

# I said, "Yeah, me!" #

# Then the door bust open
And there was her folks #

# I thought, "Damn,
they coulda waited #

# Said damn
They coulda waited #

# Said damn, they coulda waited
Till I finished my stroke" #

# Her mother was in shock #

# Her father reached
On the shelf #

# Pulled down a .45,
I almost shit on myself! #

# I said "Please don't shoot!" #

# And pleaded my case #

# "You'd have done
The same thing #

# If you was in my place #

# But if you spare my life
Believe me, friend #

# You'll never see me 'round
your daughter again" #

# Don't ask me why
But she let me in #

Time to go?

Oh, you ready to make that move?

Yeah, let's go to that party.

Yo, man. Yo. You Phade?

-Yeah, what's up?
-You, the Phade?

-Yeah, who are you?
-Yeah?

You run this joint?

I'm sorta the manager, you know.

I'm Joe Lewis, man.

-Joe Lewis? Nice to meet you.
-Yeah.

Lower East Side.

-Yeah, you from Downtown?
-Yeah.

-I got some people round there.
-Oh, yeah?

What's up?
What can I do for you?

I'd like to talk to you
about some business here.

-Business here?
-Yeah.

Listen, um, just...

Wait out in the car,
I'll be out in a minute.

All right?

All right,
I should be right out.

So, what's up, Joe Lewis?

Um...

I got this project going down,

you know, we're gonna throw
this jam, this weekend.

-Hmm.
-[Joey] Right?

Now, you know
the band show in the park,

on Avenue A and Seventh Street?

You mean,
off the Lower East Side?

That big thing by the river.

-Uh-huh. Yeah.
-It's like a big dome.

-I've seen that.
-You know.

-Right.
-Mm-hmm.

Well, we wanted
to get that thing painted,

'cause we got ourselves
a jam there.

-Mm-hmm.
-See?

The baddest graffiti guys
would be hangin' out here.

We got all the rap musicians.

[Phade] Cold Crush Brothers,
Fantastic Five,

Busy Bee, Little Rodney Cee.

-Yeah, that's good.
-Why not, man?

I can rap to the people
that ask me, man.

I think, I'm thinkin'
it can happen.

-Is that cool?
-I think it can happen.

-Okay.
-[laughs]

[man 1] Uh, excuse me
over there.

-Do one of y'all have the time?
-[Raymond] Nah.

[man] It's a chilly night
out here, ain't it?

-Yeah, really.
-Yeah.

So, what y'all up to?

-Oh, nothing.
-Exactly.

They look good
don't they, fellas?

Yeah, I'm serious.

It's this lady here.

[man 1] Smoke?

[clicks tongue]
[Virginia] Um, yeah, like...

[inhales deeply]
Well, uh,

I think I got, um, had enough.

-[man] Really?
-[chuckles]

How 'bout sniffin'? You sniff?

[Virginia] Well, not right now,
I don't think.

[inhales deeply]

[Virginia] We gotta get
in the car.

-Why is that?
-[car engine revs]

[Virginia] Well, we're,
we're sort of busy.

We have another party
we have to go to.

[man 1]
It's like that then, huh?

Look, peep, you heard it
on the radio,

you seen it on a TV show.

A to the K.

A to the motherfuckin' Z.

Hey, hey! What's up? What's up!

[Phade clicks tongue]

Hey, man.
These people cool, man.

Yo, what's up, Phade?
These your friends?

This is Virginia.
She's a reporter, man.

[Phade] They all right.
They cool, homey.

This my man, Ray, here.

Ain't no need for this.

Yo, man. I'm sorry, man.

I had no idea
they was your friends.

[Phade] It's all right, man.
Don't worry about it, you know.

[man 1]
I'm sorry about that, Phade.

[Phade] You know how that goes.

[Virginia] Prepare to meet

some very important
people there.

And they're dyin' to meet you.

You're gonna be
the hottest thing at this party.

[Raymond] I just can't believe
that these people

are just getting so interested

in graffiti all of a sudden.

[Virginia] Listen, these people
are ready for new thrills.

[Phade] There's gonna be

some influential people
there, man.

[Virginia]
Just trust me, Raymond.

I'm gonna make you
into a millionaire.

[upbeat music]

[Virginia] Wait until
I tell everybody at the party

how we almost got killed!

They'll love it.

I had no idea what these people
were talking about.

It was out of the blue.

And I'm sure
you would have felt the same way

if you'd been unlucky enough--

[Phade] Hey, how you doin'?

Excuse me for interruptin'.

I'm Phade.

I came down with Virginia.

-Hi.
-The journalist.

-You must be--
-Hi, I'm Niva.

-You're Niva?
-Right.

Your place is really incredible.

I mean, you got, like, all
this cool, modern art in here.

-[Niva] Mm-hmm.
-It's crazy.

Hey, what do you do?

Hm. I'm in the art business.

I run that little museum
down the street.

What's, what's the name of it?

-The Whitley.
-Really?

Can I call you Zoro?

No, no. It'll be better off
if you just call me Raymond.

Raymond, you can't paint them
in the subway stations.

Well, graffiti
has its own spots.

You need special places?
Like, at night,

you have to sneak in?

You can say that.

Well, if you work in the dark,

how can you see
what you're painting?

Well, I can't see
what I'm painting,

but I do know what I'm drawing.

And I know my colors
by heart already.

You ever get chased?

-Caught?
-Yeah.

I've gotten chased
so many times,

but the knuckleheads
never got to catch me, you know.

But you should see his work,
because--

I've probably seen it.
We spent 50,000 dollars

last year, removing graffiti
from the side of our...

building.

Bro, I'm sure Zoro's work wasn't
on the facade of your building,

but you should check out
his painting, man.

-I think I remember seeing a Z.
-It's really strong stuff.

You know?

Rap music?

[Raymond] Yeah, like,
you know, the MCs,

they get up on the mic.

And they like, shout
at everybody, you know,

"Everybody say, 'Ho!'".

"Say, ho!"

I'll give you my card. I'll...

Wait, wait. Zoro's over there.

Let me go rap to him
for a minute.

I'm leaving tonight,
I'm going to Europe.

I'll be away
for six straight months,

but when I get back,
you bring him to see me

and I'll remember your face.
I never forget a face.

-All right?
-[Phade] Okay.

Nice to meet you, Flange.

[chuckles]

He was just telling me about
the rap convention

they're having
at Delancey school.

Yeah, the rap convention.

You should come down,
it's gonna be wild.

I'd love to. I was thinking
of bringing some cameras down.

I'm doing a...

-Cameras? Really?
-...TV special.

Oh. TV special.

-Yeah, I'm on TV.
-Oh, really?

[Virginia] There's someone
you should definitely talk to.

He came down with me and Ray.

-Yeah, we met earlier.
-Yeah, we met earlier.

How you doing?

I was just talking
to Raymond here about...

-About the convention.
-...possibly doing

-a TV special.
-Yeah.

It's gonna be really sick.

By the way, Raymond, um, Niva,

the host of the party,
wants to talk to you.

She's right over there.

[Raymond] Okay.

Yeah, it's really...

I think this is really gonna be
a big one.

He's an incredible
graffiti artist.

Yeah, he's like,
he's really good.

I'm pretty good, too.

I'm Niva, nice meeting you.

-Nice to meet you.
-So, this is Neil.

Zoro, Neil.

-How you doing?
-Pleased to meet you.

I've heard a lot about you.

-Oh, you have?
-Yeah.

Uh, Neil,
would you do me a favor,

-and get me another drink?
-Certainly, darling.

Zoro, can I get you something
from the bar?

Um, red wine would be okay.

-You got it.
-Okay.

Thank you.

Well.

How you doin'?

Okay.
I'm very happy you're here.

You got a fantastic view
over here.

[Raymond] You know,
I only see this in comic books.

And now I'm standing here,

watching the whole world
at my feet.

I feel like God almost.

I would love to make
a painting of this.

[Niva] Well, that's exciting.

-Are you serious about that?
-[Raymond] Yeah.

-Yeah.
-Well if you are,

there's something
I must show you.

-[Raymond] Okay.
-Something real special.

-Okay?
-Okay.

[Niva] Come with me.

Serious, Grandmaster Flash,

and... the Furious Five.

Mm. Interesting.

I want you to see

where the real versions are.

I wanted you to see
these Lichtenstein.

[Niva]
Does it remind you of your work?

[Raymond] In a way.
The way the lines, you know,

wave around.

Not exactly all my work.

Everybody's work

-on the subways.
-Mm-hmm.

So, you really want to be
an artist?

I am an artist.

[Niva] Oh, I know you are.

That's why you're here.

Please sit down,
I wanna talk to you.

Don't be frightened. It's okay.

Sit down. Please?

[Niva] Please, get comfortable.

So, are you really serious about

commissioning me
to do a painting for you?

Absolutely.
I really like your work.

I think I will need,
like, at least,

a hundred dollars in material.

[Niva] Oh, that's no problem.

I'll give you two hundred.

No problem at all.

Let me do that.

[paper rips]

Here we go.

Thank you very much.

[Niva] My pleasure.

So...

How does it feel?

[Raymond] It feels great.

[Niva] When do you think
I can have it?

[Raymond] I can start on it
as soon as possible.

[Niva] Terrific.

[spray can rattling]

[hissing]

[hissing continues]

[Rose] Raymond,
what you doin' here?

What is that?

[Raymond] It's a painting.

[Rose] Yeah,
on Crash's canvas, right.

[spray can rattles]

[hissing]

[Raymond] I bet
you'd be fooling around

with your friends a lot.

-What do you think is...
-It's stupid,

-you know what I mean.
-...what I'd be doing with them?

Yeah.

-What the hell you care?
-I've been quiet about it.

I've been extremely quiet
about it.

[spray can rattles]

All I've been wanting to do,

is show you, by this,

and all the other things
I've been doing...

that I really wanna be a man,
and I,

and I wanna continue
being your man, you know.

[spray can rattles]

I mean,
what do you think I'm doing?

I mean, you know?

I wanna prove it.

-And how you gonna do that?
-[spray can rattles]

[train rumbling]

[rumbling continues]

Oh, shit! Look at that.

Hey!

Oh, shit.

Fucking kids
in the back of a car.

Did you see that?

[Rose] Do you wanna go
to the yards with me?

[Raymond chuckles]
Are you crazy?

[Rose] Just me and you.
Late tonight.

Come on.

[Raymond] All right.

[kids screaming]

Yo, man. That kid, Vic,
got stopped tonight, man.

I'm telling you, man.

You was rockin' it, man.

-Word.
-You had the party jumpin'.

-You know it, man.
-But they...

I knew they wasn't gonna

-I known it.
-A hundred dollars, man.

You can't trust Starski

Yo, them kids there,

In the Amphitheater, right?

Cold Crush, Fantastic Five's

Phade, man. I didn't think

You know what I'm sayin'.

We had did things in the past,
you know,

and he would, like,
came through, man,

like a thoroughbred,
but he like...

fronted on that money, man.

But like, we gonna crush him
in the Amphitheater.

-You know it, you know it.
-You know it, know it.

It ain't nothin' to it,
but to do it.

You know it.

# Here's a little story
That must be told #

# About two cool brothers
That were put on hold #

# Tried to hold us back
From fortune and fame #

# They destroyed the crew
And they killed the name #

# They tried to step on our ego
And walk on our pride #

# But true blue brothers
Stand side by side #

# Through thick and thin
From beginning to end #

# This battle we lost #

# But the war we'll win #

# 'Cause Double Trouble
Is in the house #

-# I'm KK Rockwell #
-# And Rodney Cee #

-# We'll turn it out #
-# We'll turn it out #

# Well, I'm KK Rockwell
'Cause I raise a lot of hell #

# I love to make love
To the jolly females #

# I'm down with the crew
From off the hill #

# And I'm Little Rodney Cee
And I aim to please #

# I want my name
To go down in history #

# I wanna be greater
Than George Washington #

# 'Cause I could rock any party
From sun to sun #

-# And together #
-# Forever #

# We're number one #

# Double Trouble
Is in the house #

# Don't you know Double Trouble
Gonna turn it out, y'all #

-# Double Trouble #
-# Double Trouble #

-# Double, Double #

[both] Oh, yeah!

[overlapping dialog]

[upbeat music]

[upbeat music continues]

Yo, Ray! What's up?

Hey! What's up, Phade?

How you doin' man?

-I'm comin' tonight, man.
-Right.

I just came from out town, man.

I just gave out
like 2,000 flyers, man.

-Wow!
-Check it out, man.

This shit is high post,
ain't it, man?

This is great, man!

It's gonna be deft!

-[Raymond] All right.
-[Phade] But tell me,

what is your idea for the mural?
What do you wanna put on it?

[Raymond] Man,
that takes a while, man.

It ain't like, you know,
just doin' a regular,

old train or something,
you know? I'm not positive.

This is the whole building now
that I'm going to paint.

And it is something
that I want to paint on,

that people are gonna be able
to look at, in the back of it,

and see the whole thing
come together

as one beautiful painting
and whatnot.

[Phade] All right, listen.
I'm not worried about it.

I got faith in you.

Hey, man, I think
Imma break up time, man.

You wanna, you should, like,
come up there with me, man.

So we can get to promoting
a little bit more,

you know what I'm sayin'.

[Phade] Catch up with Busy Bee
or somethin'.

[Raymond] Nah, I got a place
to go, man.

I'm just gonna take
a subway ride and whatnot.

And think about it,
'cause I can find my ideas

more clearer in there, you know?

It's gonna be high-powered.
True that.

Imma be rockin' house,
I'm gonna be there.

I know it's gonna be
high-powered, Imma be there.

Busy Bee,
you know what I'm sayin'.

Come on, give me
a little soul clap.

Let's have a little fun,
here we go.

# Man, I rock New York City
All years around #

# And my name is known
All over the town #

# Y'all people here love the way
I run my game #

# They can't wait to see me
Make the hall of fame #

# Busy Bee is my name
And that's a fact #

# And you can't beat that
With a stickball bat #

# Real ladies a lot
Young ladies galore #

# It's one and all, I do adore #

# 'Cause the way y'all talk
And the way y'all smile #

# Y'all come to the party
In executive style #

# So it makes no sense
In just standing around #

# Come on, young ladies
Let's all get down #

# And have a ball, y'all
And rock 'em all, y'all #

Yeah, man. This party gonna be
high-powered, tomorrow man.

[upbeat music]

[upbeat music continues]

# Look past the garbage
Over the trains #

# Under the ruins
Through the remains #

# Around the crime
And pollution #

# And tell me, where I fit in #

# South Bronx, New York
That's where I dwell #

# To a lot of people
It's a living hell #

# Full of frustration
And poverty #

# But wait, that's not how
It looks to me #

# It's a challenge
And opportunity #

# To rise above
The stink and debris #

# You gotta start with nothing
And then you build #

# Follow your dream
Until it's fulfilled #

[upbeat music]

Yo, I'm so happy to be here.

It's so beautiful out.

I'm gonna cream this, man.
You watch.

-"Cream" it?
-Believe it, yo.

I got my paint.

-Got me an outline.
-You got, like, colors?

Yeah, hell yeah!

-What you brought?
-What?

Now, well, that's just
what I wanted to tell you about.

Where's your paint?

I can't...

I can't make it here tonight
with y'all, I'm sorry.

I can't, I can't go
to the yard with you.

What d'you mean
you're not coming with me?

-What's wrong with you?
-'Cause I can't!

Can't you understand?
Look, look.

[Raymond] I gotta do
something very important--

Right. And being with me
is not important.

-Right.
-[Raymond] I'm not saying that!

I just can't be here.
This is not important.

You are important, but,
this place is not important now.

Because something else
is important.

And you're
really gonna like it...

All right,
then take me with you.

...just give me time
to show it to you,

when the time comes up.

I can't show it to you now.

-You know what I mean?
-Well, what is it? Tell me.

I'll let you know
when the time comes.

I just can't right now,
because I haven't...

done it yet. Okay?

So, you should like,
just go home and whatnot.

Good luck. Have a good time.

Do your thing by yourself.
Later for you.

[Raymond] Hey, wait a minute.
What are you...

-what are you getting into--
-Nah, nah. Nah, it's cool.

Imma rock the line by myself.
I'll...

-Imma take over, you watch.
-[Raymond] What you mean

you gotta rock the line?
Why you gotta get like that for?

I don't need your ass.
I can paint without you.

Okay, Rose.
You wanna act like that?

I hope the cops come in
and they bust the whole place.

You probably drop a dime
and get my ass busted.

That's what you're gonna do.

[Raymond] You're the one
that drops the dimes.

You and the Union.

-That's what you do, drop dimes.
-All right, later for you, man.

[Raymond] And just put insides
and whatnot.

-Destroy trains.
-Ah, fuck this.

If I run into Union,
I'm going over you.

Later for you, too.

Tell me, uh, how's it going?

[Raymond] How's what going?

You know, your painting.

How come
you're not finishin' it?

What you doin' over here?

[Raymond] It's messed up.

-It doesn't look bad.
-[Raymond] You're crazy.

It looks bad.

Okay, then at least tell me what
that thing is you just done.

I'm trying to paint this figure
in the middle,

and it's,
it's not even comin' out right.

I already got, like the hands,
like on the side.

[Raymond]
Like the hands of doom.

And they're like
representing the city

and the environment
around this artist.

Right? And what I'm tryin'
to draw,

is the artist in the middle.

And he's like...

Like...

He's like painting,
all by himself.

In his own world and whatnot.

He don't care
about nobody around him.

And that's what the hands are,
everybody around him.

Yeah, who is this character?

[Rose] That's Zoro, right?
That's you.

Who told... Forget...

Who gave you that idea?

Come on, man. I've been knowing.

I've been knowing
for a long time that was you.

That's ridiculous.

[Rose] You just didn't trust me.
You didn't tell me

about them things,
so Imma tell you now.

I'm also gonna tell you,
I don't like your mural.

I don't like the idea.

Just get outta here.
I don't care.

No harm, man.
I'm just telling you the truth.

[Rose] All right?

Zoro this, Zoro that.
We don't wanna hear about it.

You're only worried about Zoro.

Concentrate on what
the whole thing is about.

The jam, rappers are gonna be
comin' down.

They're gonna be the stars
of this thing, not you.

Damn, man.

-[Rose] Idiot.
-That's an idea.

You know,
that's a hell of an idea.

[Raymond] You did it!

That's beautiful.
[laughing]

-[continues laughing]
-[Rose shrieks]

[Rose] What'd I say?

[crackles, rumbles]

What they all paid for #

# What they all paid for
What they all paid for #

# Here's a little story
That must be told #

# About two cool brothers
That were put on hold #

# They tried to hold us back
From fortune and fame #

# They destroyed the crew
And they killed the name #

# They tried to step on our ego
And walk on our pride #

# But true blue brothers
Stand side by side #

# Through thick and thin
From beginning to end #

# This battle we lose
But the war we'll win #

# 'Cause Double Trouble
Is in the house #

# KK Rockwell, and Rodney Cee
We'll turn it out #

# We're two of a kind
We're soul-inclined #

# We're guaranteed
To hypnotize your mind #

# He's KK Rockwell
The girls call me fly #

# I'm Little Rodney Cee
And I'm right on time #

# And together, forever
We'll blow your mind #

# Double Trouble
Is in the house #

# Don't you know Double Trouble
Gonna turn it out y'all #

# 'Cause that group
We're hip to every sound #

# That'll make an earthquake
Drop the whole damn park #

# All the cops in the house
Yeah, listen to this shit #

# Pull it out your pocket
Pull it out your pocket #

# 'Cause you know I'm down
Yes, I'm best to rock it #

# When I shock with
the Rhythm Rock Steady Crew #

# With the best of my ability
That'll make you move #

# Groovin' in the park
One Saturday night #

# Yeah, the kid you need
We're ready for a fight #

# I'm about to now
Shock it with a plague #

# They get on the disk
I'm gonna enjoy the pain #

# I rock steady
'Cause I'm starting to break #

# And when the boy let go
That remains the same #

# Got into a taxicab
That night #

# Rock it with a rhythm
With a nickel, like #

# When I turned off my button
I turned my head #

# Get a pretty, pretty freaky
I know I was on that debt #

# That mess you did
They're quiet #

# All you wanna do
Is just to take a bite #

# So you give it to the freak
You go descend #

# Let's freeze-walk in
On the tail #

# Rockwell, yo
And with a serious do #

# Goes amidst the freak
Wreckin' all the moves #

# Rockin' up with the best
To show enough test #

# They're rockin' like a couple
That was tappin' on the chest #

# Keep rock, rock, rock
The rock, rock #

# Keep rockin' the sure shot #

# Rammell, my mellow, my man #

# Just get on the mic
With the master plan #

# Well I'll rope you
To a decimal #

# When a shaolin crawls down
the Cypress Hill #

# As I turn the dawn up
To see my boy #

# I drink a whiff of riddle
For the widdle toy #

# To my writing on the wall
The deft graffiti team #

# I told the sucka nigga
He couldn't make the team #

# I got on the mic
Yes, I had a night #

# I shocked the sucka nigga
To the break of daylight #

# All babies out there
On the floor #

# Rock with the rhythm
With the freaks galore #

# Put the music out
With the apple pie #

# Shockdell and me, you don't #

# Hip a-ditty
Just a-hittin' the grit #

# Just the name of your trip
With the serious tip #

# My move science
My move science #

# Gonna freak to the rhythm
Yeah, makin' you pop #

# Now baby, oh baby #

# Yeah, sweet little
Pretty baby, baby #

# I got that class
To the def-o #

# Now to make you go down
And I got so much #

# So groove it to the rhythm
A sure shot #

# Rock it, yo, it's really hot #
