Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,102 --> 00:00:01,268
(woman) Previously on "The Breaks"...
2
00:00:01,336 --> 00:00:02,818
Fouray manufactures receipts
when he's on tour,
3
00:00:02,843 --> 00:00:04,241
and he pockets the cash
when he's reimbursed.
4
00:00:04,266 --> 00:00:06,006
You're gonna trust
this ho over your boy?
5
00:00:06,031 --> 00:00:07,584
What the fuck you talking about?
6
00:00:07,609 --> 00:00:10,053
I have this fantasy that
we would cut the album,
7
00:00:10,078 --> 00:00:12,240
and it saves hip hop from going pop.
8
00:00:12,319 --> 00:00:15,186
Our audience is not interested
in the noise you call hip-hop.
9
00:00:15,255 --> 00:00:17,279
Hey, Bernard, this the kid
I was telling you about.
10
00:00:17,365 --> 00:00:19,991
Played that PE at WPPS.
11
00:00:20,060 --> 00:00:22,342
Let me know if you're ever
really ready to talk.
12
00:00:22,407 --> 00:00:23,444
Otherwise...
13
00:00:25,152 --> 00:00:26,631
Hands against the car.
14
00:00:26,700 --> 00:00:27,832
- Wait...
- What'd I do?
15
00:00:27,901 --> 00:00:29,334
You can't arrest him! Deevee!
16
00:00:29,402 --> 00:00:31,102
Mr. Van Putten is my client.
17
00:00:31,171 --> 00:00:34,606
You call fucking Juggy to get
our friend out of jail.
18
00:00:34,674 --> 00:00:35,874
I'm supposed to just
let him sit in a cell
19
00:00:35,942 --> 00:00:37,609
because you got daddy issues?
20
00:00:37,677 --> 00:00:38,977
So you the middle-man?
21
00:00:39,045 --> 00:00:40,545
No, I negotiate
22
00:00:40,614 --> 00:00:42,647
with the label on behalf of the artist.
23
00:00:42,716 --> 00:00:44,082
Thanks for your time, huh?
24
00:00:44,151 --> 00:00:46,317
(Fouray) Gonna start my own label.
25
00:00:46,386 --> 00:00:47,619
Better come on, boy.
26
00:00:49,656 --> 00:00:51,789
He might be snitching, kid's gotta go.
27
00:00:55,262 --> 00:00:57,695
(rhythmic pounding)
28
00:01:03,703 --> 00:01:05,603
(door opening)
29
00:01:22,088 --> 00:01:23,922
How long am I supposed to be in here?
30
00:01:23,990 --> 00:01:26,691
You got somewhere to be?
31
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,526
Nah, I...
32
00:01:28,595 --> 00:01:31,162
I mean, yeah, I'd like to go home,
33
00:01:31,231 --> 00:01:33,531
take a shower and whatnot.
34
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,067
They got a shower at the precinct.
35
00:01:37,537 --> 00:01:39,637
Didn't you shower over there?
36
00:01:41,908 --> 00:01:44,842
Look, I... I mean, nah...
37
00:01:44,911 --> 00:01:48,346
nah, um, I... they didn't let me.
38
00:01:48,415 --> 00:01:50,931
- What they let you do?
- Nothing.
39
00:01:51,084 --> 00:01:53,392
- What'd you tell 'em?
- Nothing.
40
00:01:53,553 --> 00:01:54,786
You sure?
41
00:01:54,855 --> 00:01:57,622
Yes, I'm... I'm positive.
42
00:02:05,866 --> 00:02:08,133
So we gonna work together.
43
00:02:10,137 --> 00:02:11,836
Most definitely.
44
00:02:11,905 --> 00:02:13,471
A'ight.
45
00:02:14,774 --> 00:02:16,264
Let's work.
46
00:02:16,543 --> 00:02:19,711
47
00:02:21,539 --> 00:02:25,504

(Nikki moaning)
49
00:02:29,456 --> 00:02:32,190
(panting)
50
00:02:37,564 --> 00:02:40,765
We should fight more often.
51
00:02:40,834 --> 00:02:43,501
- Mm-hmm.
- (chuckles)
52
00:02:43,570 --> 00:02:46,104
Oh... what about in, like, ten minutes?
53
00:02:46,173 --> 00:02:48,606
Stop being so stupid.
54
00:02:54,047 --> 00:02:55,280
(sighing)
55
00:03:03,056 --> 00:03:05,356
Hey, should we try Deevee again?
56
00:03:05,425 --> 00:03:07,825
Where? He's not at his dad's.
57
00:03:07,894 --> 00:03:11,229
Oh, you don't think he went
back to Juggy's, do you?
58
00:03:11,298 --> 00:03:13,665
Last thing I need is my best friend
59
00:03:13,733 --> 00:03:16,734
and my girlfriend hanging out
with Juggy all the time.
60
00:03:16,803 --> 00:03:18,136
David, it was an emergency.
61
00:03:18,205 --> 00:03:20,438
I got it, I got it,
I'm... look, I'm glad
62
00:03:20,507 --> 00:03:21,940
that Deevee is not in jail,
63
00:03:22,008 --> 00:03:24,842
and I am glad that Juggy was at home.
64
00:03:24,911 --> 00:03:26,377
- Me, too.
- Good.
65
00:03:26,463 --> 00:03:28,746
- Can you come back to bed now?
- (giggling)
66
00:03:28,815 --> 00:03:31,149
Stop, I gotta go.
67
00:03:31,218 --> 00:03:33,218
You know if I'm on the ground floor
68
00:03:33,286 --> 00:03:35,520
of Barry's new label,
then I'm part of the foundation.
69
00:03:35,589 --> 00:03:38,122
Yeah, but didn't you start,
like, yesterday?
70
00:03:38,191 --> 00:03:42,227
Let him feel you out and... just, like,
bring you along at his own pace.
71
00:03:42,295 --> 00:03:46,464
If I'd've done that, I'd've never
gotten the job in the first place.
72
00:03:49,169 --> 00:03:52,904
73
00:03:52,973 --> 00:03:55,173
Every door I open
74
00:03:55,242 --> 00:03:59,410
Wherever I...
75
00:03:59,479 --> 00:04:02,113
(music continues)
76
00:04:03,617 --> 00:04:07,018
I hear congratulations are in order.
77
00:04:07,087 --> 00:04:08,586
(chuckling)
78
00:04:08,655 --> 00:04:10,888
You shouldn't have.
79
00:04:10,957 --> 00:04:13,157
Little Mattie Taylor.
80
00:04:13,226 --> 00:04:15,693
Head of black music.
81
00:04:15,762 --> 00:04:19,097
From promo assistant
to big office with a view.
82
00:04:19,165 --> 00:04:21,514
Not that I was ever
invited to the last one, but...
83
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,501
Well, clearly you don't
wait for an invitation.
84
00:04:23,570 --> 00:04:25,780
Well, I guess that's
the thing about foresight.
85
00:04:25,858 --> 00:04:28,339
Where would we be if we
waited for what we wanted?
86
00:04:28,408 --> 00:04:30,541
So, black music.
87
00:04:30,610 --> 00:04:33,211
That's not where I left it,
that's for sure.
88
00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:35,313
But you got a solid roster here, right?
89
00:04:35,382 --> 00:04:37,582
You got Keith Sweat, Tay Six.
90
00:04:37,651 --> 00:04:39,751
Don't forget Al B...
with that face and that voice,
91
00:04:39,819 --> 00:04:42,720
women all over this country are
gonna be wet with anticipation.
92
00:04:42,789 --> 00:04:45,356
Well, not every woman.
93
00:04:45,425 --> 00:04:47,659
What brings you by, Juggy?
94
00:04:47,727 --> 00:04:49,494
I heard you might be
95
00:04:49,562 --> 00:04:51,596
adding the hip hop to your repertoire.
96
00:04:51,665 --> 00:04:55,099
My chairman says there's gold
in them-there hills.
97
00:04:55,168 --> 00:04:56,834
But he said that about disco too, so.
98
00:04:56,903 --> 00:04:58,169
This might be different.
99
00:04:58,238 --> 00:05:00,538
My son David, he's crazy about it.
100
00:05:00,607 --> 00:05:02,640
He thinks radio's gonna
catch on eventually.
101
00:05:02,709 --> 00:05:06,044
What do you say you and me,
we get out in front of this?
102
00:05:06,112 --> 00:05:07,345
Huh?
103
00:05:10,283 --> 00:05:13,384
Kids, what do they know, right?
104
00:05:13,453 --> 00:05:15,386
(sighing) I don't know.
105
00:05:15,455 --> 00:05:19,357
You want me to work
some records for you?
106
00:05:19,426 --> 00:05:20,825
Be just like the old days,
107
00:05:20,894 --> 00:05:23,494
you know, but this time,
you call all the shots.
108
00:05:23,563 --> 00:05:25,663
That's really gracious of you, Juggy.
109
00:05:25,732 --> 00:05:27,932
- Hmm.
- Are you also going to allow me to choose
110
00:05:28,003 --> 00:05:29,776
which markets I wanna push my acts in,
111
00:05:29,854 --> 00:05:33,338
or do you still owe
Cap Reynolds a favor for Tulsa?
112
00:05:33,406 --> 00:05:36,507
Oh, my, Mattie.
113
00:05:36,576 --> 00:05:38,710
No one's supposed to know about that.
114
00:05:38,778 --> 00:05:40,778
Nobody does.
115
00:05:40,847 --> 00:05:42,313
About Cap...
116
00:05:42,382 --> 00:05:43,948
Never in a million years.
117
00:05:45,218 --> 00:05:46,451
You don't wanna hear me out?
118
00:05:46,519 --> 00:05:48,119
Juggy, it was nice to see you.
119
00:05:48,188 --> 00:05:50,388
(chuckles)
120
00:05:54,027 --> 00:05:55,460
121
00:05:55,528 --> 00:05:58,329
I remember when I first
heard Rakim spit
122
00:05:58,398 --> 00:06:00,098
You heard the man, he likes this.
123
00:06:00,166 --> 00:06:01,646
He's not even giving him another song.
124
00:06:01,701 --> 00:06:04,168
Well, Tommy Boy is going to drop him
125
00:06:04,237 --> 00:06:05,477
if he doesn't deliver the song,
126
00:06:05,538 --> 00:06:06,704
which means that he won't be able
127
00:06:06,773 --> 00:06:08,333
to finish the new album, which means...
128
00:06:08,375 --> 00:06:10,441
Okay, that means that
we take a different approach.
129
00:06:10,510 --> 00:06:12,577
- With D Rome?
- With everybody, with everything.
130
00:06:12,645 --> 00:06:14,345
We let Tommy Boy drop D Rome.
131
00:06:14,414 --> 00:06:15,480
What?
132
00:06:15,548 --> 00:06:16,998
We're gonna let Tommy Boy drop D Rome.
133
00:06:17,069 --> 00:06:19,150
- and we're gonna sign him.
- To what?
134
00:06:19,219 --> 00:06:20,385
Fouray Records.
135
00:06:20,453 --> 00:06:22,820
Barry, we don't have
the money for a label...
136
00:06:22,889 --> 00:06:24,789
I didn't have the money
when I started this company.
137
00:06:24,858 --> 00:06:26,724
- You ever had a check that bounced?
- Actually...
138
00:06:26,793 --> 00:06:30,628
I just need a way to show him
that we're all about D Rome.
139
00:06:30,697 --> 00:06:33,398
You know, some way to show him
that he should believe in us.
140
00:06:33,466 --> 00:06:35,433
Something that Tommy Boy won't do,
141
00:06:35,502 --> 00:06:37,001
something that Gordy can't do,
142
00:06:37,070 --> 00:06:39,971
so that motherfucker stop
putting shit in D Rome head.
143
00:06:40,039 --> 00:06:42,006
The Ride concert.
144
00:06:42,075 --> 00:06:44,542
It's tonight. Keith
Sweat is the headliner.
145
00:06:44,611 --> 00:06:47,378
Maybe we can get Keith to let D Rome
spit his verses on that song.
146
00:06:47,447 --> 00:06:50,214
Live, in front of
thousands of screaming fans.
147
00:06:50,283 --> 00:06:52,016
- That's insane.
- That's a great idea, yeah.
148
00:06:52,085 --> 00:06:54,485
That's insane, that's exactly
why we need to do it.
149
00:06:54,554 --> 00:06:56,454
That's perfect, that's a perfect idea.
150
00:06:56,523 --> 00:06:58,322
I love it, I love it,
I love it, Ms. Unreasonable.
151
00:06:58,391 --> 00:06:59,624
That's great, very...
152
00:06:59,692 --> 00:07:01,592
Ahh-ahh-ahh, where you going?
No, no-no-no.
153
00:07:01,661 --> 00:07:03,494
I need you to chill out here
and work on that business plan
154
00:07:03,563 --> 00:07:05,029
for the record label,
we need it perfect.
155
00:07:05,098 --> 00:07:07,498
- Come on, Barry...
- Stop, I don't even wanna hear it.
156
00:07:09,269 --> 00:07:11,041
Come on, come on.
157
00:07:12,839 --> 00:07:14,972
(funk music playing)
158
00:07:16,543 --> 00:07:18,476
(clippers buzzing)
159
00:07:18,545 --> 00:07:21,112
- Hey, what's up, D?
- What's happening, man?
160
00:07:21,181 --> 00:07:22,647
King!
161
00:07:22,715 --> 00:07:23,915
What up, man, you making love
162
00:07:23,983 --> 00:07:26,017
to some lucky woman
on-stage tonight? Huh?
163
00:07:26,085 --> 00:07:28,586
Ha-ha, Fouray. What's up, baby?
164
00:07:28,655 --> 00:07:29,895
I know you ain't here for a cut.
165
00:07:29,923 --> 00:07:32,356
Ah, man, no-no-no-no, come on, come on.
166
00:07:32,425 --> 00:07:34,959
- Stop, please, I mean...
- He's good.
167
00:07:35,028 --> 00:07:36,861
Recognize me, man.
168
00:07:36,930 --> 00:07:38,429
I ain't the one with sharp objects.
169
00:07:38,498 --> 00:07:41,299
Keith, I need to holler
at you for one second
170
00:07:41,367 --> 00:07:42,800
about D Rome, though,
you got a hot second?
171
00:07:42,869 --> 00:07:44,936
Your boy is hot. He killed the remix.
172
00:07:45,004 --> 00:07:47,905
That's what I'm saying,
so let's see if we can, like,
173
00:07:47,974 --> 00:07:50,441
work it out he perform
with you tonight on the stage?
174
00:07:50,510 --> 00:07:52,844
Hey, that's not
the blade you used last time.
175
00:07:52,912 --> 00:07:55,379
Remember how you sculpted
right above my ear?
176
00:07:55,448 --> 00:07:57,081
Do that again, baby, come on now.
177
00:07:57,150 --> 00:07:58,783
So, what's up? What you think?
178
00:07:58,852 --> 00:08:01,752
I mean, I guess so.
Is it cool with Bernard?
179
00:08:01,821 --> 00:08:03,821
Bernard? I don't need
to talk to Bernard,
180
00:08:03,890 --> 00:08:05,723
bring up the past, for what?
181
00:08:05,792 --> 00:08:07,792
He only really care that
you headlining his show
182
00:08:07,861 --> 00:08:09,427
and not Sampson's show, like, for what?
183
00:08:09,496 --> 00:08:11,329
Listen, you take
Anita Baker on the stage,
184
00:08:11,397 --> 00:08:13,264
Y'all do "Make It Last Forever."
185
00:08:13,333 --> 00:08:14,899
Do you need Bernard's permission?
186
00:08:14,968 --> 00:08:16,567
(laughing)
187
00:08:16,636 --> 00:08:18,402
All right, baby, you got it.
188
00:08:18,471 --> 00:08:20,638
Hey, bring your man side of stage.
189
00:08:20,707 --> 00:08:22,340
I'll pass him the mic before I'm done.
190
00:08:22,408 --> 00:08:24,141
Aah! That's what's up.
191
00:08:24,210 --> 00:08:25,476
We're out of credentials.
192
00:08:25,545 --> 00:08:27,912
Man, my name is my pass.
193
00:08:27,981 --> 00:08:31,816
(clippers buzzing)
194
00:08:31,885 --> 00:08:34,018
All right, hey, I'll see you later, man.
195
00:08:35,955 --> 00:08:38,089
I'mma go get D Rome, you go get Josie
196
00:08:38,157 --> 00:08:39,323
and meet me backstage.
197
00:08:39,392 --> 00:08:40,825
Look, make sure that he look right
198
00:08:40,894 --> 00:08:42,660
and y'all are on time, you got that?
199
00:08:42,729 --> 00:08:44,262
- I got it, Barry.
- Good.
200
00:08:44,330 --> 00:08:47,298
That'll give me some time
to... to work Mattie Taylor.
201
00:08:47,367 --> 00:08:50,334
Listen, Nikki, good idea.
202
00:08:50,403 --> 00:08:52,703
Very, very good idea, I like that.
203
00:08:54,641 --> 00:08:57,475
(engine starts)
204
00:08:57,544 --> 00:09:00,710
(car drives away)
205
00:09:00,735 --> 00:09:02,914
Oh shit, Barry!
206
00:09:03,816 --> 00:09:05,216
I need credentials.
207
00:09:05,285 --> 00:09:06,484
208
00:09:07,233 --> 00:09:09,475
Yo, the A, the H, the M
209
00:09:09,562 --> 00:09:12,022
Nobody replacing him,
got what it takes to win
210
00:09:12,100 --> 00:09:13,825
Shout to my niggas doing eight to ten
211
00:09:13,911 --> 00:09:15,466
Walk straight, don't scrape the Timb
212
00:09:15,534 --> 00:09:17,601
I ain't a corner boy,
dressed in no corduroys
213
00:09:17,670 --> 00:09:19,737
I'm a carnivore,
raised in the art of war
214
00:09:19,805 --> 00:09:22,177
Quarter back the track
and make it call an audible
215
00:09:22,271 --> 00:09:24,826
So call all your boys,
pick up all the pieces
216
00:09:24,896 --> 00:09:26,841
I'mma show y'all
just what a masterpiece is
217
00:09:26,927 --> 00:09:28,345
My gun go off, quick to wreck
218
00:09:28,414 --> 00:09:29,680
Any out-to-get-a-rep crews
219
00:09:29,758 --> 00:09:31,482
Plus I lay nephews and nieces
220
00:09:31,550 --> 00:09:33,817
I ain't here to politic,
I ain't here to hardy-harr
221
00:09:33,886 --> 00:09:35,352
I just came... the body, arms
222
00:09:35,421 --> 00:09:37,154
The embodiment of low-down, rotten
223
00:09:37,223 --> 00:09:39,223
Picking cotton for your cotton...
224
00:09:39,291 --> 00:09:40,958
(sighing)
225
00:09:43,429 --> 00:09:45,329
(door opens)
226
00:09:49,535 --> 00:09:51,502
(clearing throat)
227
00:09:51,570 --> 00:09:55,105
Have you ever tried to do,
like, a... like, a hook?
228
00:09:55,174 --> 00:09:56,039
What?
229
00:09:56,108 --> 00:09:57,608
You know, like, a hook,
230
00:09:57,676 --> 00:09:59,276
like something that goes
in between everything
231
00:09:59,345 --> 00:10:01,278
so it doesn't sound like you just...
232
00:10:01,347 --> 00:10:03,614
going on and on and on?
233
00:10:05,017 --> 00:10:08,452
I mean, people like to sing along.
234
00:10:08,521 --> 00:10:09,987
I ain't singing.
235
00:10:10,055 --> 00:10:12,456
I know you're not singing, but just...
236
00:10:12,525 --> 00:10:13,891
You think my shit 's whack?
237
00:10:13,959 --> 00:10:16,560
No, no, no, man, not at all.
238
00:10:16,629 --> 00:10:19,997
Then what the fuck is it?
You just a fucking producer?
239
00:10:20,065 --> 00:10:23,000
You don't know what the fuck
you're doing, huh?
240
00:10:23,068 --> 00:10:25,769
- I know what I'm doing.
- What?
241
00:10:25,838 --> 00:10:27,437
I can't hear you.
242
00:10:27,506 --> 00:10:29,239
I... I... I just said
243
00:10:29,308 --> 00:10:31,475
I know what I'm...
I know what I'm doing.
244
00:10:31,544 --> 00:10:33,911
So you can make it work
without the hook.
245
00:10:36,415 --> 00:10:38,081
Then make it work.
246
00:10:39,952 --> 00:10:41,752
(distant car horn)
247
00:10:48,260 --> 00:10:49,893
(announcer) 95.5, the Ride.
248
00:10:49,962 --> 00:10:51,702
Show some New York City pride.
249
00:10:51,780 --> 00:10:54,428
Name this Brooklyn band
and this old-school jam and win
250
00:10:54,500 --> 00:10:56,833
two tickets to the Keith Sweat's
concert tonight.
251
00:10:56,902 --> 00:10:59,102
- Man, Sampson'll hate that.
- Will he?
252
00:10:59,171 --> 00:11:01,305
Yeah, he thinks he owns that account.
253
00:11:01,373 --> 00:11:03,106
(laughs)
254
00:11:03,175 --> 00:11:05,909
Boy, I wish I could've been there
when you played that record.
255
00:11:05,978 --> 00:11:08,312
- (chuckling)
- Let me ask you something.
256
00:11:08,380 --> 00:11:11,148
You knew he'd can you, why'd you do it?
257
00:11:11,216 --> 00:11:13,617
Because I showed him
research that proved
258
00:11:13,686 --> 00:11:15,686
he could beat you by playing hip hop,
259
00:11:15,754 --> 00:11:17,554
and he told me to stick
to getting his coffee.
260
00:11:17,623 --> 00:11:19,990
- (laughing)
- (phone ringing)
261
00:11:21,627 --> 00:11:23,694
Yes?
262
00:11:32,938 --> 00:11:34,605
I need your help.
263
00:11:34,673 --> 00:11:36,440
What's wrong? Is Deevee okay?
264
00:11:36,508 --> 00:11:37,708
No, it's nothing like that.
265
00:11:37,776 --> 00:11:39,776
Barry got Keith Sweat
to let D Rome perform
266
00:11:39,845 --> 00:11:41,778
his verse on the remix tonight, and...
267
00:11:41,847 --> 00:11:44,185
but they don't have any credentials,
and I need to get in.
268
00:11:44,210 --> 00:11:45,275
What?
269
00:11:45,300 --> 00:11:47,184
- Barry got Keith Sweat...
- No-no-no, I got that,
270
00:11:47,252 --> 00:11:49,553
but I'm confused why you're here.
271
00:11:49,622 --> 00:11:50,954
- I need a credential.
- Nikki...
272
00:11:51,023 --> 00:11:54,124
artists who are scheduled to perform
can't even get passes, so...
273
00:11:54,193 --> 00:11:56,326
You don't understand,
David, I need to get in.
274
00:11:56,395 --> 00:11:59,696
You don't understand, I can't
give out any more passes.
275
00:11:59,765 --> 00:12:01,765
Okay, so just turn
your head away for a sec
276
00:12:01,834 --> 00:12:03,033
and get us an order.
277
00:12:03,102 --> 00:12:04,635
I can't do that, Nikki.
278
00:12:04,703 --> 00:12:06,470
David, it's me.
279
00:12:07,740 --> 00:12:08,905
I'm sorry.
280
00:12:11,143 --> 00:12:13,110
You know, you're too good.
281
00:12:14,313 --> 00:12:16,580
You say that like it's a bad thing.
282
00:12:16,649 --> 00:12:19,082
It's not, it's sweet.
283
00:12:21,387 --> 00:12:23,487
- Nikki, I...
- No-no, it's okay, it's cool.
284
00:12:24,347 --> 00:12:26,180
I'll see you tonight?
285
00:12:26,492 --> 00:12:28,859
(phone ringing)
286
00:12:32,164 --> 00:12:34,264
So call all your boys,
pick up all the pieces
287
00:12:34,333 --> 00:12:36,733
I'mma show you all
just what a masterpiece is
288
00:12:36,802 --> 00:12:39,503
My gun go off, quick to wreck
any out-to-get-a-rep crews
289
00:12:39,571 --> 00:12:42,053
Plus I lay nephews and niece...
Fuck!
290
00:12:42,154 --> 00:12:43,850
Yo, yo, cut it!
291
00:12:52,384 --> 00:12:53,384
(sighing)
292
00:12:56,321 --> 00:12:58,288
Say something.
293
00:12:58,357 --> 00:13:00,123
You're just not breathing.
294
00:13:02,327 --> 00:13:05,362
Uh, like, you're not...
295
00:13:05,431 --> 00:13:07,798
you need to find pockets to breathe in.
296
00:13:07,866 --> 00:13:09,399
Like, think of, I don't know,
297
00:13:09,468 --> 00:13:11,768
like, every S-word
or something like that.
298
00:13:11,837 --> 00:13:14,705
Or if you don't wanna do that,
then we can just, you know,
299
00:13:14,773 --> 00:13:16,440
go line-for-line and punch in.
300
00:13:16,508 --> 00:13:19,776
Punch? What you talking about?
301
00:13:19,845 --> 00:13:20,977
Punch in.
302
00:13:21,046 --> 00:13:23,113
"Punch in" means, like, to record,
303
00:13:23,182 --> 00:13:26,616
like, line right after
another line, like...
304
00:13:26,685 --> 00:13:28,251
(knocking on door)
305
00:13:31,623 --> 00:13:33,323
(car horn honking)
306
00:13:36,028 --> 00:13:37,628
Yo, we need to talk.
307
00:13:39,331 --> 00:13:41,098
Yo, get the fuck out the hallway.
308
00:13:42,768 --> 00:13:44,568
Bounce!
309
00:13:46,739 --> 00:13:48,305
- What happened?
- Yo, Geronimo's crew
310
00:13:48,373 --> 00:13:51,274
called Bug over there about
Kennedy's men on some wild shit.
311
00:13:51,343 --> 00:13:53,472
- What you mean?
- They chopped the nigga up, man,
312
00:13:53,550 --> 00:13:56,012
on some Freddy Krueger shit, dog.
313
00:13:56,081 --> 00:13:57,748
What happened to you?
314
00:13:57,816 --> 00:13:59,176
Had to get his body off the street.
315
00:13:59,218 --> 00:14:00,751
I ain't no fucking see him that way.
316
00:14:00,819 --> 00:14:02,385
- Go clean up.
- All right.
317
00:14:02,454 --> 00:14:05,288
Hey, you heard me, man?
Nigga, move right now.
318
00:14:05,357 --> 00:14:07,991
That's exactly what Bruce
expecting us to do.
319
00:14:08,052 --> 00:14:11,820
Push now, we gonna have
half of Brooklyn on our ass.
320
00:14:11,897 --> 00:14:13,939
We gotta square it with Bug's people.
321
00:14:18,065 --> 00:14:19,598
No doubt.
322
00:14:19,838 --> 00:14:21,084
Prep School.
323
00:14:22,207 --> 00:14:24,307
Not gonna work out.
324
00:14:24,376 --> 00:14:25,742
Call Scooter.
325
00:14:25,811 --> 00:14:27,310
Word.
326
00:14:28,580 --> 00:14:30,280
(door closes)
327
00:14:31,254 --> 00:14:32,720
328
00:14:35,877 --> 00:14:37,169
Thanks so much for this again.
329
00:14:37,229 --> 00:14:38,762
Hey, no problem, we'll get you in.
330
00:14:38,831 --> 00:14:41,231
Hey... put this on.
331
00:14:41,300 --> 00:14:43,200
Oh, yeah, take... Yeah.
332
00:14:46,038 --> 00:14:47,504
Hey, Nikki.
333
00:14:47,573 --> 00:14:49,640
Power up, dab some on.
334
00:14:53,012 --> 00:14:54,545
Yeah, you're good.
335
00:14:54,613 --> 00:14:56,213
Follow my lead.
336
00:15:06,659 --> 00:15:09,059
Hey, there, Josie Cho,
shooting the concert
337
00:15:09,128 --> 00:15:11,361
for Ebony Magazine. This is my editor...
338
00:15:11,430 --> 00:15:13,764
actually, the editor of Ebony Magazine.
339
00:15:13,833 --> 00:15:15,499
Ms. Monica Cole.
340
00:15:15,568 --> 00:15:18,135
Look, her flight got delayed,
and her luggage got lost.
341
00:15:18,204 --> 00:15:20,104
The luggage containing her credentials.
342
00:15:20,172 --> 00:15:22,272
Look, I don't care if you're
the Margaret Thatcher,
343
00:15:22,341 --> 00:15:24,408
you ain't getting in here
without a pass.
344
00:15:26,979 --> 00:15:29,980
Wilkinson... what's your first name?
345
00:15:30,049 --> 00:15:32,625
- George.
- Nice to meet you, George Wilkinson.
346
00:15:32,650 --> 00:15:34,806
Can you direct me to the
nearest pay phone?
347
00:15:34,830 --> 00:15:35,984
Why?
348
00:15:36,009 --> 00:15:38,922
Oh, Bernard Masters is my
neighbor and personal friend.
349
00:15:38,991 --> 00:15:42,025
I just wanted to let him know
what a fine job his security was doing.
350
00:15:44,697 --> 00:15:46,230
Right this way, Miss.
351
00:15:51,804 --> 00:15:53,170
- He's here.
- That was great.
352
00:15:53,239 --> 00:15:56,206
Reminds me of sneaking
in to CBGB's when I was 13.
353
00:15:56,275 --> 00:15:59,109
13? Damn, girl, you didn't
look a little young?
354
00:15:59,178 --> 00:16:01,678
Power ahead, worked then, works now.
355
00:16:01,747 --> 00:16:03,380
What're you doing here?
356
00:16:03,449 --> 00:16:05,215
I told you I was coming.
357
00:16:05,284 --> 00:16:06,984
Barry got you a pass.
358
00:16:07,052 --> 00:16:09,386
Mm-mm, David, meet Josie, my new friend.
359
00:16:09,455 --> 00:16:11,188
Josie, meet David, he's my boyfriend.
360
00:16:11,257 --> 00:16:12,589
Oh, nice to meet you.
361
00:16:12,658 --> 00:16:14,091
Nikki, I'll see you
in the dressing room?
362
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:15,659
Yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, thanks.
363
00:16:17,830 --> 00:16:19,830
So your girl got you a pass.
364
00:16:19,899 --> 00:16:21,599
- No.
- Then who?
365
00:16:21,685 --> 00:16:23,133
Inquiring minds want to know.
366
00:16:23,202 --> 00:16:26,870
Yeah, we do, it's usually pretty hard
to get into a Ride concert.
367
00:16:26,939 --> 00:16:29,406
But, hey, you are a hustler.
368
00:16:29,475 --> 00:16:31,875
You say that like it's a bad thing.
369
00:16:31,944 --> 00:16:35,445
It's not, it's, uh, sweet.
370
00:16:36,448 --> 00:16:38,081
(laughing) Look,
371
00:16:38,150 --> 00:16:39,249
I'll find out how you got in later,
372
00:16:39,318 --> 00:16:40,758
but I gotta get this stuff upstairs.
373
00:16:47,993 --> 00:16:49,493
I'm feeling good about tonight, baby.
374
00:16:49,562 --> 00:16:51,595
I... we making a deal,
and I know... I know
375
00:16:51,664 --> 00:16:53,697
Mattie Taylor's around here
somewhere, I can smell it.
376
00:16:53,766 --> 00:16:56,700
Really? And what're you gonna tell
Mattie Taylor when you find her?
377
00:16:56,769 --> 00:16:58,902
I'm gonna tell her the time is
now to get with Fouray Records.
378
00:16:58,971 --> 00:17:00,357
- We about to blow up.
- Prematurely.
379
00:17:00,382 --> 00:17:02,584
Dude, you are like the fucking Grinch.
380
00:17:02,609 --> 00:17:03,974
We are not ready to meet with Mattie.
381
00:17:04,043 --> 00:17:05,309
She know I got my ear to the streets.
382
00:17:05,377 --> 00:17:06,877
She might not admit it,
383
00:17:06,946 --> 00:17:08,396
but she know I'm what she missing.
384
00:17:08,421 --> 00:17:10,514
- We talking about the same Mattie Taylor?
- Yes!
385
00:17:10,583 --> 00:17:12,482
Yeah, the one and only Mattie Taylor.
386
00:17:12,551 --> 00:17:14,326
That's who we're talking about, Grinch.
387
00:17:14,396 --> 00:17:15,719
Look, let's just talk to her
388
00:17:15,788 --> 00:17:18,178
once we've got some talent locked down.
389
00:17:18,263 --> 00:17:19,690
- I hear you...
- And some production money.
390
00:17:19,758 --> 00:17:21,174
Please, this is the only shot
we get business with her.
391
00:17:21,268 --> 00:17:23,160
Okay, I'm gonna make
the shot count, I promise.
392
00:17:23,228 --> 00:17:24,828
It's gonna count.
393
00:17:26,899 --> 00:17:27,902
394
00:17:28,045 --> 00:17:29,645
Hey, no doubt.
395
00:17:37,150 --> 00:17:38,583
Not even a wristband.
396
00:17:38,811 --> 00:17:40,344
Okay.
397
00:17:40,412 --> 00:17:43,680
Mr. Keith goes on exactly 9:15,
and we're closing with "Make You Sweat."
398
00:17:43,749 --> 00:17:45,515
Have you go out there at 9:55,
can you do that?
399
00:17:45,584 --> 00:17:47,417
- Yes.
- Let me guess.
400
00:17:47,486 --> 00:17:50,120
- The boss loaned his lanyard.
- Nope.
401
00:17:50,189 --> 00:17:52,489
Yeah, well, you need an ID.
402
00:17:52,558 --> 00:17:53,890
So you couldn't get in
on the guest list.
403
00:17:53,959 --> 00:17:56,293
And you are not the type
to flirt your way in.
404
00:17:58,530 --> 00:18:00,464
You posing as somebody.
405
00:18:00,532 --> 00:18:01,765
Left some poor guard shook.
406
00:18:01,834 --> 00:18:03,867
You could've just
given me the credential.
407
00:18:03,936 --> 00:18:06,503
Yeah, but where's the fun in that?
408
00:18:07,439 --> 00:18:08,939
You clearly don't need one.
409
00:18:11,777 --> 00:18:13,677
See you later.
410
00:18:15,014 --> 00:18:17,080
(beeper)
411
00:18:17,149 --> 00:18:18,949
Damn it!
412
00:18:21,987 --> 00:18:25,689
(phone ringing)
413
00:18:25,758 --> 00:18:27,598
- Hello?
- It's me, I got your page, what's up?
414
00:18:27,626 --> 00:18:30,994
Nikki, oh, it's you,
I gotta talk to you.
415
00:18:31,063 --> 00:18:33,864
- Yeah, what's up, what?
- Yes, no, in person, okay?
416
00:18:33,932 --> 00:18:35,899
Um, where are you at?
417
00:18:35,968 --> 00:18:38,402
(boy singing)
418
00:18:38,470 --> 00:18:40,170
You hear this kid? I'm telling you,
419
00:18:40,239 --> 00:18:42,739
this kid is the next Michael Jackson.
420
00:18:42,808 --> 00:18:44,641
Orson, you remember
when you used to tell me
421
00:18:44,710 --> 00:18:46,209
that Little Foster Silvers
422
00:18:46,278 --> 00:18:47,811
was gonna be the next Michael Jackson?
423
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,112
(all laughing)
424
00:18:49,181 --> 00:18:51,148
I remember when he said Jermaine Jackson
425
00:18:51,216 --> 00:18:53,417
would be the next Michael Jackson.
426
00:18:53,485 --> 00:18:54,618
(all laughing)
427
00:18:54,686 --> 00:18:56,326
You know what,
now that we're on the topic
428
00:18:56,388 --> 00:18:57,988
of great '70s music, Orson,
429
00:18:58,057 --> 00:19:01,691
you really oughta license
my Bob James masters.
430
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,594
You got his late '70s albums, right?
I got all the early ones.
431
00:19:04,663 --> 00:19:06,496
We could put out a greatest hits CD.
432
00:19:06,565 --> 00:19:08,765
A million flat.
433
00:19:08,834 --> 00:19:10,400
(chuckling)
434
00:19:10,469 --> 00:19:12,803
Exactly what're you
doing these days, Juggy?
435
00:19:12,871 --> 00:19:14,671
Little of this, little of that.
436
00:19:14,740 --> 00:19:16,506
(chuckling)
437
00:19:16,575 --> 00:19:18,275
I'm working records for Mattie Taylor,
438
00:19:18,343 --> 00:19:19,476
that's what I'm doing these days.
439
00:19:19,545 --> 00:19:21,945
I'm gonna call your bet.
440
00:19:22,014 --> 00:19:27,084
And I'm gonna raise you a G.
441
00:19:27,152 --> 00:19:29,753
(chuckling)
442
00:19:29,822 --> 00:19:32,222
Mattie hiring you, what for?
443
00:19:32,291 --> 00:19:34,591
She's got a national staff now.
444
00:19:36,762 --> 00:19:39,329
She likes my personality.
445
00:19:39,398 --> 00:19:40,997
I knew you were bluffing.
446
00:19:41,066 --> 00:19:45,001
You cleaned me out here,
I gotta get back in the game.
447
00:19:45,070 --> 00:19:47,704
750K for the masters.
448
00:19:47,773 --> 00:19:51,942
You didn't pay more than
500 grand for those masters.
449
00:19:52,010 --> 00:19:53,343
(laughing)
450
00:19:53,412 --> 00:19:56,113
Okay, 600,000.
451
00:19:56,181 --> 00:19:58,381
That's a tidy sum for a day's work.
452
00:20:00,319 --> 00:20:01,651
What else you wanna get rid of?
453
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,019
Nothing.
454
00:20:03,088 --> 00:20:04,621
I thought you were cashing out.
455
00:20:05,657 --> 00:20:07,657
Why would you think that?
456
00:20:08,994 --> 00:20:10,427
No reason.
457
00:20:11,497 --> 00:20:13,897
458
00:20:15,901 --> 00:20:18,068
You got me looking like I'm
going to church or something.
459
00:20:18,137 --> 00:20:19,603
I'd love to got to that church.
460
00:20:19,671 --> 00:20:21,171
Chill out, man, you dope.
461
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,440
The ladies gonna go crazy
when you step on the stage.
462
00:20:23,509 --> 00:20:25,342
Word up... fresh, man.
463
00:20:25,410 --> 00:20:27,544
Yeah, you could definitely catch it.
464
00:20:27,613 --> 00:20:29,646
- For real?
- Yeah...
465
00:20:29,715 --> 00:20:34,751
(speaking foreign language)
466
00:20:36,054 --> 00:20:38,255
I don't know, babe, got me feeling like
467
00:20:38,323 --> 00:20:39,623
I gotta sing or something.
468
00:20:39,691 --> 00:20:41,358
I'm looking like a real herb right now.
469
00:20:41,426 --> 00:20:44,427
(laughing) You right about that.
470
00:20:44,496 --> 00:20:45,929
Come on, kid, car's outside.
471
00:20:45,998 --> 00:20:49,332
You ain't performing
with no Keith Sweat, fuck that.
472
00:20:49,401 --> 00:20:50,967
All right, next band is gonna have you
473
00:20:51,036 --> 00:20:54,304
in some phony rayon shirt,
polka-dot pants like you Kwam?.
474
00:20:54,373 --> 00:20:55,605
Uh-uh, hells no, let's go.
475
00:20:55,674 --> 00:20:58,208
No, we ain't going nowhere
but on that stage.
476
00:20:58,277 --> 00:21:01,811
477
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,215
Our headliner was born
right here in Harlem, U.S.A.
478
00:21:05,284 --> 00:21:08,418
Although he's been known on
the nightclub circuit for years,
479
00:21:08,487 --> 00:21:11,288
he made his living on Wall Street.
480
00:21:11,356 --> 00:21:13,556
How's that sound?
481
00:21:14,493 --> 00:21:16,026
You wanna do it again?
482
00:21:17,663 --> 00:21:20,463
Yo, you had that security guard shook
like that white girl in Rita's.
483
00:21:20,532 --> 00:21:23,433
Whatever, man, where have you been?
484
00:21:23,502 --> 00:21:25,468
One of Ahm's guys
picks me up last night.
485
00:21:25,537 --> 00:21:26,736
I've been holed up with him.
486
00:21:26,805 --> 00:21:28,271
He picked you up to do what?
487
00:21:28,340 --> 00:21:29,239
Make music.
488
00:21:29,308 --> 00:21:31,074
(applause)
489
00:21:31,143 --> 00:21:32,943
(announcer) Ladies and
gentlemen, please welcome
490
00:21:33,011 --> 00:21:35,812
Bernard Masters from The Ride, New York.
491
00:21:35,881 --> 00:21:38,281
(man) As the voice of the people
492
00:21:38,350 --> 00:21:41,985
of New York City...
493
00:21:42,054 --> 00:21:45,622
I take great pride when
one of our own takes the stage.
494
00:21:45,691 --> 00:21:48,391
(cheering and applause)
495
00:21:49,995 --> 00:21:51,394
(woman) I love you!
496
00:21:51,463 --> 00:21:53,430
Whoo, I love you, too.
497
00:21:53,498 --> 00:21:54,931
(laughing)
498
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,234
I'd've been happy
to watch from the wings,
499
00:21:57,302 --> 00:21:59,336
but when my brother
called me personally,
500
00:21:59,404 --> 00:22:00,737
and he said, "Sampson,
501
00:22:00,806 --> 00:22:02,939
"the beautiful ladies in the house
502
00:22:03,008 --> 00:22:06,409
"need your special type of smooth
503
00:22:06,478 --> 00:22:09,145
to introduce my groove,"
504
00:22:09,214 --> 00:22:11,781
I had to come out.
505
00:22:11,850 --> 00:22:15,018
Ladies and gentlemen, I am honored
506
00:22:15,087 --> 00:22:19,022
to give you the crooner, the lover,
507
00:22:19,091 --> 00:22:23,426
the one that makes you
feel like no other.
508
00:22:23,495 --> 00:22:27,163
Give it up for Mr. Keith Sweat.
509
00:22:27,232 --> 00:22:29,099
(cheering and applause)
510
00:22:29,167 --> 00:22:31,034
511
00:22:38,710 --> 00:22:42,712
(cheering, shrieking)
512
00:22:47,085 --> 00:22:50,020
- I thought Sampson worked with PPS.
- He does.
513
00:22:50,088 --> 00:22:52,455
That research you did for Sampson,
514
00:22:52,524 --> 00:22:53,857
you still got it?
515
00:22:53,925 --> 00:22:55,458
Yeah.
516
00:22:55,527 --> 00:22:58,895
Meet me in my office,
first thing tomorrow morning.
517
00:22:58,964 --> 00:23:00,497
You're leaving?
518
00:23:00,565 --> 00:23:02,666
If I don't leave right now,
519
00:23:02,734 --> 00:23:04,801
I'll kill him.
520
00:23:09,441 --> 00:23:10,940
You ain't learned shit
521
00:23:11,009 --> 00:23:13,410
from the last time you tried
to pimp this man out
522
00:23:13,478 --> 00:23:15,602
for some New York swing bullshit, man.
523
00:23:15,688 --> 00:23:18,181
- Strategies...
- Yo, yo, hold on, I found my man, D...
524
00:23:18,250 --> 00:23:20,817
- You ain't find...
- You're trying to ruin this man's image...
525
00:23:20,886 --> 00:23:22,686
- You found him?
- That's right, I found D.
526
00:23:22,754 --> 00:23:24,054
You couldn't find your own ass
527
00:23:24,122 --> 00:23:25,922
if you was wearing it on your damn face.
528
00:23:25,991 --> 00:23:27,857
What've you done for your man, D?
529
00:23:27,926 --> 00:23:30,126
The same shit I did for your
black ass back in the day...
530
00:23:30,195 --> 00:23:32,395
Oh, you steal his money?
You stole his money?
531
00:23:32,420 --> 00:23:34,626
I ain't steal no fucking money.
What, you got some proof?
532
00:23:34,707 --> 00:23:36,844
- You're a thief!
- Damita?
533
00:23:38,070 --> 00:23:40,670
- Yo, what's up?
- You tell me.
534
00:23:40,739 --> 00:23:42,405
What is going on with Barry and Gordy?
535
00:23:42,474 --> 00:23:46,076
Girl, nothing, they're just business
partners. You know, they're passionate...
536
00:23:46,144 --> 00:23:48,978
Yeah, I do, cut the bullshit, Nikki.
537
00:23:49,047 --> 00:23:50,513
You know I know you.
538
00:23:50,582 --> 00:23:52,582
Okay, okay, but it's off-record.
539
00:23:52,651 --> 00:23:54,117
The hell it is, if Barry Fouray
540
00:23:54,186 --> 00:23:56,586
and Gordy Charlton are fighting,
that's a story.
541
00:23:56,655 --> 00:23:59,122
What if I can give you
an even bigger story?
542
00:23:59,191 --> 00:24:02,525
- I'm listening.
- Fouray is about to be a label.
543
00:24:02,594 --> 00:24:04,694
I could hook you up with
an interview with Barry.
544
00:24:04,763 --> 00:24:06,896
- That's it?
- That's a big deal.
545
00:24:06,965 --> 00:24:08,264
He won't meet with just anyone.
546
00:24:08,333 --> 00:24:10,433
All-access, behind the scenes.
547
00:24:10,502 --> 00:24:13,036
I'll do the best I can.
548
00:24:13,105 --> 00:24:14,738
Okay.
549
00:24:14,806 --> 00:24:17,640
But... you gotta sing the song.
550
00:24:17,709 --> 00:24:20,243
What? Are... you're kidding.
551
00:24:20,312 --> 00:24:21,878
- Come on.
- Guess I have a story
552
00:24:21,947 --> 00:24:23,780
about Barry Fouray and Gordy Charlton.
553
00:24:23,849 --> 00:24:26,349
Wait... wait, wait, wait.
554
00:24:28,653 --> 00:24:30,186
I can't believe I'm doing this.
555
00:24:30,255 --> 00:24:32,589
(chuckling)
556
00:24:32,657 --> 00:24:35,058
She's your queen to be
557
00:24:35,127 --> 00:24:37,660
A queen to be forever
558
00:24:37,729 --> 00:24:39,362
To do whatever
559
00:24:39,431 --> 00:24:41,865
His Highness desires
560
00:24:41,933 --> 00:24:42,933
Higher.
561
00:24:42,968 --> 00:24:46,202
She's your queen to be
562
00:24:46,271 --> 00:24:49,539
A vision of perfection
563
00:24:49,608 --> 00:24:50,968
Girl, you can do better than that.
564
00:24:51,009 --> 00:24:53,209
- Hop on the leg.
-
...affection
565
00:24:53,278 --> 00:24:57,881
To quench your royal fire
566
00:25:01,353 --> 00:25:02,886
I'm sorry.
567
00:25:04,022 --> 00:25:06,055
I'd like to meet her.
568
00:25:06,124 --> 00:25:07,590
I'd like that, too.
569
00:25:10,061 --> 00:25:12,095
- Ten minutes.
- Mm-hmm.
570
00:25:13,999 --> 00:25:15,932
Damn.
571
00:25:16,001 --> 00:25:17,267
Right?
572
00:25:23,742 --> 00:25:26,943
(rustling, dripping)
573
00:25:49,668 --> 00:25:52,268
(door opening)
574
00:26:04,182 --> 00:26:05,682
What's up?
575
00:26:05,750 --> 00:26:07,417
Smoke usually did this.
576
00:26:07,486 --> 00:26:09,219
Oh.
577
00:26:09,287 --> 00:26:11,387
All right, so Bug have four corners
578
00:26:11,456 --> 00:26:13,323
and three years to 18.
579
00:26:13,391 --> 00:26:14,791
The way I think,
580
00:26:14,860 --> 00:26:17,293
Smoke started doing 19
after they knifed Disco.
581
00:26:27,606 --> 00:26:29,706
16 thou.
582
00:26:32,844 --> 00:26:35,011
Hold up, hold up.
583
00:26:39,050 --> 00:26:41,284
Could've made it to 21.
584
00:26:50,929 --> 00:26:52,962
I'm gonna pull the truck around.
585
00:26:54,799 --> 00:26:57,867
(door opening, closing)
586
00:27:00,590 --> 00:27:03,391
(Keith Sweat)
Give it to me now, girl
587
00:27:04,494 --> 00:27:06,212
Yeah
588
00:27:06,329 --> 00:27:09,664
Can't nobody give it out
589
00:27:09,732 --> 00:27:11,933
For me and you
590
00:27:12,001 --> 00:27:14,969
Yeah, girl
591
00:27:15,038 --> 00:27:18,706
I wanna pull down
the shades and the lights
592
00:27:18,775 --> 00:27:21,943
And do what I wanna do
593
00:27:22,011 --> 00:27:24,445
To hear it, girl
594
00:27:24,514 --> 00:27:28,783
Tell me now, baby
595
00:27:28,852 --> 00:27:31,118
R&B still bores you, huh?
596
00:27:32,522 --> 00:27:34,622
Oh!
597
00:27:34,691 --> 00:27:36,190
Damita!
598
00:27:36,259 --> 00:27:37,725
(both laughing)
599
00:27:37,794 --> 00:27:41,429
Damit... Damita Alonzo.
600
00:27:41,497 --> 00:27:44,699
Yo, you look good.
601
00:27:44,767 --> 00:27:47,335
You too, except for
a little sleep in your eye.
602
00:27:47,403 --> 00:27:49,337
Oh, oh, I'm sorry.
603
00:27:49,405 --> 00:27:50,938
I'm fucking with you.
604
00:27:51,007 --> 00:27:53,307
Hah, funny, funny.
605
00:27:53,376 --> 00:27:55,543
I thought I heard somebody say
you were in New York.
606
00:27:55,612 --> 00:27:57,051
Yeah, I'm working at the Village Voice.
607
00:27:57,089 --> 00:27:59,147
Oh, no shit? Oh, that's dope.
608
00:27:59,233 --> 00:28:00,874
I mean, we could never get you
out of that hatchet office
609
00:28:00,952 --> 00:28:02,016
at G-Dub, so, you know.
610
00:28:02,085 --> 00:28:03,851
Maybe you didn't try hard enough.
611
00:28:06,289 --> 00:28:08,222
(laughing)
612
00:28:08,291 --> 00:28:10,358
So I guess I missed my shot, huh?
613
00:28:10,426 --> 00:28:12,994
You said it, I didn't.
614
00:28:16,366 --> 00:28:17,366
(chuckling)
615
00:28:19,135 --> 00:28:22,570
Yeah, yeah, wait till I tell
Bernard about your little plan.
616
00:28:22,639 --> 00:28:25,039
Oh, should've known
you'd brought your ho.
617
00:28:25,108 --> 00:28:27,375
You're acting like
a real dick right now.
618
00:28:27,443 --> 00:28:28,876
Where were you?
619
00:28:28,945 --> 00:28:32,013
Huh? You'll try anything
to make me look wrong, huh?
620
00:28:32,081 --> 00:28:33,948
- Whatever.
- You a sucka.
621
00:28:34,017 --> 00:28:35,697
I didn't even know
you was that kind of sucka...
622
00:28:37,453 --> 00:28:39,120
What are you doing?
You're supposed to be
623
00:28:39,188 --> 00:28:40,955
on the side of the stage
in, like, two minutes.
624
00:28:41,024 --> 00:28:42,790
You hear those two?
625
00:28:42,859 --> 00:28:44,892
I could be in the studio right now.
626
00:28:44,961 --> 00:28:46,294
Yo, you hear that crowd?
627
00:28:46,362 --> 00:28:48,996
You gonna let a jacket
stop the guy from doing
628
00:28:49,065 --> 00:28:50,731
what he was put on this Earth to do?
629
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,155
(distant music, cheering)
630
00:28:53,275 --> 00:28:54,975
Hell nah, sister.
631
00:28:55,138 --> 00:28:57,004
Good.
632
00:28:57,073 --> 00:28:59,006
'Cause you ain't wearing
that corny shit anyway.
633
00:28:59,075 --> 00:29:01,509
(distant music, cheering)
634
00:29:05,448 --> 00:29:08,516
(music growing in volume)
635
00:29:12,322 --> 00:29:15,356
636
00:29:19,662 --> 00:29:21,128
Listen, yo
637
00:29:21,197 --> 00:29:23,030
Everybody in the party get to moving
638
00:29:23,099 --> 00:29:25,339
Get to grooving your body
and your heads to the music
639
00:29:25,368 --> 00:29:27,468
The guy too smooth,
you're not able to refuse him
640
00:29:27,537 --> 00:29:30,204
Ugh, all of the girls
wanna amuse him
641
00:29:30,273 --> 00:29:32,373
Listen, I'm representing, defy
642
00:29:32,442 --> 00:29:34,475
You losing your mind
when Rome using the mic
643
00:29:34,544 --> 00:29:36,477
He be the slick, the swift,
the different brother
644
00:29:36,546 --> 00:29:38,646
When I walk in the room,
you ditch the other
645
00:29:38,715 --> 00:29:41,182
I know it, honey,
you find thee adoring
646
00:29:41,250 --> 00:29:43,484
I know he boring
and his dialogue corny
647
00:29:43,553 --> 00:29:45,720
You love my voice
when the rap do flow
648
00:29:45,788 --> 00:29:48,022
Your girl run the both
of her hands through the fro
649
00:29:48,091 --> 00:29:50,291
Ugh, I rock the stage show
650
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,160
Love making sun,
rain, sleet, nor snow
651
00:29:53,229 --> 00:29:55,029
Ugh, D Rome and Keith Sweat
652
00:29:55,098 --> 00:29:57,264
Leaving every woman
in the audience wet
653
00:29:57,333 --> 00:29:59,166
654
00:29:59,235 --> 00:30:02,403
Don't tell me now
655
00:30:02,472 --> 00:30:04,138
Yes! Yeah, boy!
656
00:30:04,207 --> 00:30:07,108
What'd I tell you? What'd I tell you?
What'd I tell you?
657
00:30:07,176 --> 00:30:08,843
I told you, I told you, I told you.
658
00:30:08,911 --> 00:30:10,611
You killed it.
659
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,681
Yes, give it to me, girl
660
00:30:13,750 --> 00:30:16,917
(women screaming, cheering)
661
00:30:16,986 --> 00:30:18,919
You know that
662
00:30:18,988 --> 00:30:21,522
And I fell for you
663
00:30:21,591 --> 00:30:24,125
Girl
664
00:30:26,062 --> 00:30:29,997
Thank you so much, New York, I love you.
It's good to be home.
665
00:30:30,066 --> 00:30:32,967
(cheering and applause)
666
00:30:33,036 --> 00:30:35,403
Keith, that's what's up, man, word.
667
00:30:35,471 --> 00:30:37,238
Hey, good-lookin', Keith.
668
00:30:37,306 --> 00:30:40,041
Oh, y'all taking my man?
Y'all taking my man?
669
00:30:40,109 --> 00:30:42,410
You good, I'mma see you at Rita's.
670
00:30:42,478 --> 00:30:44,578
I'm gonna host a concert
for one of my artists,
671
00:30:44,647 --> 00:30:46,013
all you have to do is call.
672
00:30:46,082 --> 00:30:50,051
Well, here I am. Ringing in your ear.
673
00:30:50,119 --> 00:30:52,987
How about the Tonys, Labor Day Weekend?
674
00:30:53,056 --> 00:30:54,789
How about the Garden?
675
00:30:54,857 --> 00:30:56,624
Barry's personal assistant.
676
00:30:56,692 --> 00:30:58,893
Haha, hey now, don't worry.
677
00:30:58,961 --> 00:31:00,294
I'm a gentleman,
678
00:31:00,363 --> 00:31:02,596
even when being face to face
679
00:31:02,665 --> 00:31:04,483
- with a Judas... Security!
- Hey, stop.
680
00:31:04,545 --> 00:31:06,311
Hey! She don't even have credentials.
681
00:31:06,389 --> 00:31:07,735
- Get her up outta here.
- Time to go, let's go, come on.
682
00:31:07,804 --> 00:31:09,637
Hey!
683
00:31:10,907 --> 00:31:11,907
She's with me.
684
00:31:11,941 --> 00:31:13,908
With you, Ms. Taylor?
685
00:31:25,721 --> 00:31:27,655
D Rome.
686
00:31:27,723 --> 00:31:29,323
That was a nice touch.
687
00:31:31,127 --> 00:31:33,394
- What's your name?
- Nikki Jones.
688
00:31:33,463 --> 00:31:35,262
Mattie Taylor.
689
00:31:35,331 --> 00:31:37,531
Would you like to join me
for a cocktail?
690
00:31:40,336 --> 00:31:42,503
So, what is it that you wanna do, Nikki?
691
00:31:42,572 --> 00:31:43,771
I wanna be in A&R.
692
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:45,439
Oh, really, that's surprising.
693
00:31:45,508 --> 00:31:46,640
Mattie Taylor,
694
00:31:46,709 --> 00:31:48,242
it's very nice to see you here.
695
00:31:48,311 --> 00:31:49,844
And I see that you met my slave.
696
00:31:49,912 --> 00:31:51,579
Good to see you too, Barry.
697
00:31:51,647 --> 00:31:53,287
Listen, I wonder
if me and you could build
698
00:31:53,316 --> 00:31:54,982
on distribution for my new label.
699
00:31:55,051 --> 00:31:57,017
Oh, right, hip hop.
700
00:31:57,086 --> 00:31:59,186
Yeah, of course, what else?
701
00:31:59,255 --> 00:32:01,455
- What you got?
- I got what you need
702
00:32:01,524 --> 00:32:03,357
to get on board for distribution.
703
00:32:03,426 --> 00:32:06,961
All right, call my office on Monday,
we'll schedule something.
704
00:32:07,029 --> 00:32:10,131
That's great, I'll set it up, let's go.
705
00:32:10,199 --> 00:32:11,699
- Come on, come on.
- Barry.
706
00:32:11,767 --> 00:32:14,509
I need to use the ladies' room,
can I just meet you downstairs?
707
00:32:14,537 --> 00:32:16,704
Uh, no... no-no, meet us at Rita's.
708
00:32:16,772 --> 00:32:18,405
- We out of here.
- Got it.
709
00:32:19,876 --> 00:32:20,975
Ms. Taylor.
710
00:32:21,043 --> 00:32:22,510
It's Mattie.
711
00:32:22,578 --> 00:32:24,011
Mattie.
712
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,380
About A&R, what was
so surprising about that?
713
00:32:26,449 --> 00:32:28,649
I don't know, just something about you.
714
00:32:28,718 --> 00:32:30,050
I don't get the sense
that you're the type
715
00:32:30,119 --> 00:32:31,752
to aim for the middle.
716
00:32:31,821 --> 00:32:33,087
Oh, I'm not.
717
00:32:33,156 --> 00:32:35,055
Hip hop is gonna take over
the music business.
718
00:32:35,124 --> 00:32:37,591
Fouray Records is gonna be a force.
719
00:32:37,660 --> 00:32:38,926
Loyal, aren't you?
720
00:32:38,995 --> 00:32:40,461
I try to be.
721
00:32:40,530 --> 00:32:41,929
That's good.
722
00:32:41,998 --> 00:32:43,397
It'll carry you far.
723
00:32:43,466 --> 00:32:45,399
As long as you have the right partners.
724
00:32:46,769 --> 00:32:50,538
Donald, meet Nikki Jones.
725
00:32:50,606 --> 00:32:52,740
It's nice to meet you.
726
00:32:54,841 --> 00:32:58,676
(distant drumming)
727
00:33:01,114 --> 00:33:03,781
(drumming)
728
00:33:13,507 --> 00:33:15,807
Man, you gonna do it?
729
00:33:18,986 --> 00:33:20,819
(sighing)
730
00:33:23,081 --> 00:33:26,316
(drumming continues)
731
00:33:37,123 --> 00:33:39,023
(knocking on door)
732
00:33:44,571 --> 00:33:45,636
Hey.
733
00:33:45,691 --> 00:33:47,758
Yo, we're here about Bug.
734
00:33:48,928 --> 00:33:51,295
This is for you.
735
00:33:53,966 --> 00:33:56,266
I'm sorry about your loss.
736
00:34:00,172 --> 00:34:03,106
(drumming)
737
00:34:08,380 --> 00:34:10,714
I really love you
738
00:34:10,783 --> 00:34:11,949
739
00:34:12,017 --> 00:34:13,283
You know I...
740
00:34:13,352 --> 00:34:14,785
(door opening)
741
00:34:17,423 --> 00:34:19,289
I really love you
742
00:34:19,358 --> 00:34:21,325
Okay, cool your jets, Batman.
743
00:34:21,393 --> 00:34:23,026
I'm bad at that.
744
00:34:23,095 --> 00:34:25,095
(bat clatters)
745
00:34:25,164 --> 00:34:26,730
746
00:34:26,799 --> 00:34:28,098
When'd you get home?
747
00:34:28,167 --> 00:34:30,300
Just a minute ago.
748
00:34:32,071 --> 00:34:34,271
What're you doing down here?
749
00:34:34,340 --> 00:34:36,406
I'm... I'mma clean up.
750
00:34:36,475 --> 00:34:39,543
What you know about Banks and Hampton?
751
00:34:39,612 --> 00:34:40,877
Baby Phee.
752
00:34:40,946 --> 00:34:43,981
(chuckling)
753
00:34:44,049 --> 00:34:47,651
Boy, you don't know nothing
about no Jack Ashford.
754
00:34:47,720 --> 00:34:49,353
(chuckling)
755
00:34:49,421 --> 00:34:51,722
Man, this takes me back.
756
00:34:51,790 --> 00:34:55,058
You know, we used to be
up on Marcy Av, blazing.
757
00:34:55,127 --> 00:34:57,127
They had a little hole in the wall,
758
00:34:57,196 --> 00:34:58,762
right under the train.
759
00:34:58,831 --> 00:35:01,298
All the fine women, mm.
760
00:35:01,367 --> 00:35:03,100
That sounds dope.
761
00:35:03,168 --> 00:35:06,303
Yeah, it was that same club,
matter of fact,
762
00:35:06,372 --> 00:35:09,339
when I was dancing with
this fine, young lady.
763
00:35:09,408 --> 00:35:10,774
What was her name?
764
00:35:10,843 --> 00:35:12,376
Eh, don't make me lie.
765
00:35:12,444 --> 00:35:13,677
(both laughing)
766
00:35:13,746 --> 00:35:16,413
But I do remember her boyfriend's name.
767
00:35:16,482 --> 00:35:18,127
- Reggie.
- Reggie?
768
00:35:18,151 --> 00:35:20,117
Reggie. (laughing)
769
00:35:20,185 --> 00:35:22,252
Yeah, man, that was...
770
00:35:22,321 --> 00:35:24,321
that was the first time
I ever saw a gun.
771
00:35:25,424 --> 00:35:28,458
And it was pointed right at my face.
772
00:35:28,527 --> 00:35:32,062
- What... What happened?
- Huh?
773
00:35:32,131 --> 00:35:34,197
- What happened?
- Oh, I got shot at.
774
00:35:34,266 --> 00:35:36,967
- What?!
- Yeah.
775
00:35:37,036 --> 00:35:39,202
Bullet missed me by less than an inch.
776
00:35:39,271 --> 00:35:41,505
Hit the wall behind me.
777
00:35:41,573 --> 00:35:44,508
And all I could think about was you.
778
00:35:46,078 --> 00:35:47,811
Me?
779
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:49,112
When was this?
780
00:35:49,181 --> 00:35:50,514
A couple of months after you were born.
781
00:35:50,582 --> 00:35:52,749
Your mother was already gone.
782
00:35:52,818 --> 00:35:55,018
You could barely lift
that big-ass head of yours.
783
00:35:55,087 --> 00:35:57,754
(chuckling)
784
00:35:57,823 --> 00:35:59,423
And you...
785
00:35:59,491 --> 00:36:01,758
were gonna need your daddy.
786
00:36:03,996 --> 00:36:07,331
Look, son, I get it.
787
00:36:07,399 --> 00:36:09,333
You wanna be young,
do the music and all that.
788
00:36:09,401 --> 00:36:11,435
But you can't do nothing if you're dead.
789
00:36:13,205 --> 00:36:16,740
Junior... go down south.
790
00:36:18,210 --> 00:36:20,043
Got to your Aunt Adona's house.
791
00:36:23,782 --> 00:36:25,816
792
00:36:33,559 --> 00:36:35,926
Couldn't find you after the show.
793
00:36:35,994 --> 00:36:37,828
Did you get my page?
794
00:36:37,896 --> 00:36:39,329
You know, you shouldn't
take the train back
795
00:36:39,398 --> 00:36:41,031
this late at night by yourself.
796
00:36:41,100 --> 00:36:42,999
I took a car.
797
00:36:43,068 --> 00:36:44,568
Okay.
798
00:36:46,004 --> 00:36:48,372
Why are the lights off?
799
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,741
I need to talk to you.
800
00:36:50,809 --> 00:36:52,342
With the lights off?
801
00:36:52,411 --> 00:36:55,879
I wanted to see what it felt like.
802
00:36:55,948 --> 00:36:57,314
To sit in the dark?
803
00:36:57,383 --> 00:36:58,482
To be you.
804
00:36:58,550 --> 00:37:00,150
Sitting here alone,
805
00:37:00,219 --> 00:37:02,719
waiting for me to come home
so you could ask me about
806
00:37:02,788 --> 00:37:05,155
something or something I did or said
807
00:37:05,224 --> 00:37:06,957
that you don't think is right.
808
00:37:10,662 --> 00:37:12,963
What're we talking about, Nikki?
809
00:37:19,238 --> 00:37:21,471
Juggy wasn't home yesterday.
810
00:37:25,210 --> 00:37:27,110
(sighing)
811
00:37:29,815 --> 00:37:31,314
I know.
812
00:37:31,383 --> 00:37:32,849
You know?
813
00:37:34,720 --> 00:37:39,990
Which means you called him
at his office phone.
814
00:37:40,058 --> 00:37:42,025
Which begs the question,
815
00:37:42,094 --> 00:37:44,027
how did you get his office number?
816
00:37:47,166 --> 00:37:48,331
And you're not gonna ask?
817
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,600
No.
818
00:37:50,669 --> 00:37:53,737
If I ask, you're gonna think
that I didn't believe you
819
00:37:53,806 --> 00:37:56,072
when you assured me
that you hadn't told Juggy
820
00:37:56,141 --> 00:37:57,541
that Sampson fired me.
821
00:37:57,609 --> 00:37:59,643
You're also probably gonna think that
822
00:37:59,711 --> 00:38:02,679
I concocted some theory
that you actually had
823
00:38:02,748 --> 00:38:04,881
talked to Juggy, that you actually had
824
00:38:04,950 --> 00:38:07,815
told him Sampson fired me,
and that he then gave you
825
00:38:07,916 --> 00:38:11,188
his number so you guys could talk
without me finding out about it.
826
00:38:11,256 --> 00:38:14,057
(chuckles)
827
00:38:14,126 --> 00:38:16,059
Some theory.
828
00:38:18,530 --> 00:38:22,065
The truth is, he's listed.
829
00:38:22,134 --> 00:38:23,533
You probably just...
830
00:38:23,602 --> 00:38:25,602
looked him up in the phone book.
831
00:38:29,408 --> 00:38:34,377
Look, I know that we're different.
832
00:38:35,747 --> 00:38:37,747
You bend the rules a little.
833
00:38:37,816 --> 00:38:39,349
I write 'em.
834
00:38:39,418 --> 00:38:41,017
I hate my father.
835
00:38:41,086 --> 00:38:43,920
You admire him.
836
00:38:43,989 --> 00:38:45,989
And yeah, there is
a part of me that is worried
837
00:38:46,058 --> 00:38:48,692
that there is a part of you
that is like him.
838
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:52,095
But you're not, I know you're not.
839
00:38:53,532 --> 00:38:55,866
You would've told me if you were.
840
00:38:57,002 --> 00:38:58,668
(chuckles)
841
00:38:58,737 --> 00:39:01,538
I might be more like him
than you realize.
842
00:39:03,509 --> 00:39:06,576
So, then... you are.
843
00:39:10,782 --> 00:39:13,984
I'm not judging you anymore,
Nikki, I love you.
844
00:39:15,187 --> 00:39:17,220
I can't change that.
845
00:39:17,289 --> 00:39:19,422
I love you, too.
846
00:39:23,362 --> 00:39:25,262
(sighing)
847
00:39:25,330 --> 00:39:27,163
Now, when you're ready,
848
00:39:27,232 --> 00:39:30,246
I am prepared to pretend
we had the loudest,
849
00:39:30,331 --> 00:39:33,290
longest, nastiest fight
we have ever had.
850
00:39:33,315 --> 00:39:34,971
(both laughing)
851
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:36,740
Okay?
852
00:39:38,243 --> 00:39:40,210
But before then,
853
00:39:40,279 --> 00:39:41,745
I need to take a shower.
854
00:39:41,813 --> 00:39:44,481
I am so funky, I swear...
855
00:39:44,550 --> 00:39:46,507
staff at Ride has taken
856
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:48,406
some kind of revenge on my white ass...
857
00:39:48,484 --> 00:39:50,353
they're working me like a dog.
858
00:39:50,422 --> 00:39:52,522
Wait.
859
00:39:59,097 --> 00:40:00,864
I'm sorry, David.
860
00:40:00,933 --> 00:40:03,633
But I need you to put
your shirt back on.
