Hey, you gon' stay and help me with this?

The phone calls and shit?

Hey, yo, what you talking about, college, nigga?

Hey, yo, Meth knows some shorty at a university

down in Long Island.

They're gonna hit up the college radio,

see what they can do.

- Come on, 'Vine. - This is some bullshit, son.

I hear you, D,

and the next step is for us to get these records

into as many people's hands as possible.

So Gary, he's using the gods in Virginia, right?

Power and Sha are hitting up the mom-and-pop radio stores.

Ason and them are gonna go to the local college radio.

And you get to sit down on that couch, right?

You get to pick up this phone

and you get to call major national radio stations

and get them to play our record so we can sell our record.

It's all the same goal.

The Avengers are assembling,

and everyone's got a role to play, okay?

Hey, yo, how you gonna talk about the Avengers

when you got Iron Man at home making phone calls and shit

and the rest of the team is out fighting real battles, son?

Oh, oh, yo, uh, before I left this morning,

Hey, yo, Meth, what's up with your one shorty, man?

She look good.

- Oh, Angie. - Ah.

We'll just hit up the student directory.

Y'all niggas ain't never been to college before?

Yo, this nigga did a bid at community college.

He said Gatorade.

Gatorade?

All the electrolytes

You gotta get the lemon-lime joint, though.

Yo, this nigga.

You try that shit with your PO, son,

that nigga taking you right the fuck back in.

Yeah, well, I'm not gon' stop smoking.

I already stopped selling weight

when RZA had us sign those motherfucking contracts.

I'ma do what I gotta do, you know what I'm saying?

I'm down and committed with this Wu-Tang shit,

but that music shit ain't putting no food

on the table right now.

Shit, at least not yet.

Yo, what the fuck?

You 'bout to get the fuck out and walk, nigga.

- My bad, guys. - Damn, son.

I know you didn't just fuck up the bud like that, son.

- Damn! - Always, son.

Damn, son.

The DJ.

DJ or program director?

Yeah, yeah.

Hey, yo, what's a program director?

They plan all the shows.

- Yeah, yeah, let me speak... - Let me speak to the...

Let me speak to the program director.

Okay. Hold on.

A'ight. Thanks. Thanks.

Hey, yo, what happened? I thought y'all was supposed

to be hittin' up more spots in the city.

We hit a few, know what I mean?

Tower wasn't fucking with our shit.

Said they only fuck with official distributors.

So hopefully, Bobby and Divine figure that out,

know what I mean?

Yeah, it sound like y'all was missing my skills, B.

Hey, this is John B.

- - Oh, yeah. Hello? Yeah. - Hey, what's up?

- Yeah, yeah. - I got... I got... I got this record

I'm trying to send out to the radio stations and shit.

Yeah, it's called.

"Protect Ya Neck" by the Wu-Tang Clan.

We a... we a crew of rappers, you feel me?

Yeah, yeah, what label you at?

Nah, we still independent.

- Oh, no, no. - Wait, wait, wait, nah.

But y'all break new records, right?

- Sorry, not interested. - Yo, yo, yo, yo.

Let me just... let me just send you the joint.

No, no, sorry, can't do it.

This shit is a waste of fucking time, son.

I was trying to tell Divine that, son.

Can't be making these fuckin' phone calls.

Word.

You know, when niggas ain't fucking with our shit,

we gotta create a demand, know what I mean?

Like we did at the record store.

Know what I mean?

Hey, what up? What up? It's DJ Ran.

- Hey, yo. - Hey, yo, yo, yo, yo.

I'd like to make a request, son.

I wanna hear that new Wu-Tang joint.

Wu-Tang?

Yeah, "Protect Ya Neck," nigga.

"Protect Ya Neck"?

What, y'all ain't got that shit?

Nah, don't know it. Nah, haven't heard it yet.

Well, y'all better work on it, son.

It's the only thing niggas is playing right now.

- A'ight, word. - Yeah.

It's a new joint?

Yeah, "Protect Ya Neck" by Wu-Tang Clan.

A'ight, it's called "Protect Ya Neck"?

- Yeah, get on that shit. - A'ight.

We switch it up, know what I mean?

- Ah, yes, man. - You do a few. I do a few.

Hey, yo, he just shot shorty in the face?

Naw, the blast, it blinded her.

You ain't seen The Killer before?

No.

You lyin'!

Son, this my shit right here.

I'm putting you on.

My son ain't seen The Killer.

Okay, look, we... we need to find a distributor.

Get into more than just the local mom-and-pops.

It would help if we had a label behind us, though, you know?

No, we don't need...

no label to dictate our shit yet.

Being independent just means

that we need to hustle harder and smarter

and figure this shit out as we go, right?

Shit is no joke, huh?

Maybe we should, uh, split up?

Yeah, well, we have to

if we wanna cover all this ground.

Okay, let's do this, but remember,

you gotta be a salesman.

It's more than just the music, right?

- You got this. - Yeah.

Yeah, we got this, yeah?

- Yeah, yeah. - Yeah, let's do it.

- All right, let's do it. - All right.

- Hey, yo, I got some shit. - It'll blow your fucking mind.

It's the hottest out in the streets right now,

and, uh, you gotta check it.

- Wu-Tang Clan. - This is you?

- Yeah. - I mean, I produced it.

I'm the RZA.

All right, what label?

We're independent.

So you're a new artist.

Yeah.

Yeah, look, everybody on there is a new artist.

Look, I'm sorry, man.

We're... we're just not breaking new artists right now.

It's a tougher sell.

If you just listen to it...

Rakeem?

Get on the radio first.

- Yo, DJ G. - I had you on my show

when you were touring with Naughty.

Oh, shit, yo!

Yeah, yeah.

Hey, thanks for all the love.

What are you doing here?

Yo, uh, I went independent with my crew, the Wu-Tang Clan.

Shit's fucking grimy and dirty.

Yo, you ain't gotta sell me.

You say it's dope, I trust you.

Give me your record. I'll play it on my show.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Yo, I always thought you and your cousin were dope MCs.

- Hey, respect, man. - Yeah, sure, man.

If only I could get one of these damn distributors

to push my shit out, man.

You know, certain chain stores'll buy direct.

Try Sam Goody, the Wherehouse. They got booths here.

Just make sure you talk to someone that knows about rap.

You'll know when you see 'em.

Sure.

- All right, man. - For sure.

Oh. Appreciate that.

It was good seeing you.

You too, man.

He looks determined

without being ruthless.

Something heroic in his manner.

There's a courage about him.

Doesn't look like a killer.

Comes across so calm.

Acts like he has a dream,

full of passion.

He about blinded the singer who worked there.

He... he getting a cornea transplant

and he feel guilty for blinding her.

It only takes one bullet.

Damn.

That shit deep, son.

This guy's no ordinary assassin.

Word, man.

I hope we're only looking for one man.

Oh, shit.

Oh, shit, I forgot Shurrie was coming in a hour, son.

I gotta go get these diapers real quick.

Well, you know, get me some pizza on your way back.

Just a slice or some shit.

Hey, yo, didn't you just eat, my nigga?

Damn, son.

Nah, the pizzeria ain't even on the way, B.

Yo, come on, man, you could get me

some... some... some Cheetos or a honey bun or some shit.

I look like Benson to you, my nigga?

If you want a bag of Cheetos or a honey bun,

you better get your ass up.

Nigga want some company.

- Ah, shut up. - Shit, man.

Yo, where Dirty at?

Let's do what we gotta do first.

Find that nigga later, man.

Unless y'all can show me some student IDs,

you're not getting in.

- You boys need to leave. - Boys?

Hey, yo, who you calling boys?

Yo, chill, chill, chill, chill.

Take a walk, son. We ain't here for that. Yeah.

Yo, Angie will vouch for us, man.

Do I need to call the cops?

Nah, we leaving, son.

Hold up, son.

At least drop this off with the DJ.

They need to play this, like, tonight.

Fuck you talking to, man?

Walk away, son.

Yo, check this out.

Yo, fuck that Robocop.

Oh, yo, might be another way inside.

Oh, shit!

Yo, Deck, come on, son.

Yo, son, where do you get them Clarks from?

I ain't never seen 'em in the dual colors like that.

You ain't know... you don't know nothing about these.

They original. I made 'em myself, B.

What you mean you made 'em yourself?

I got this nigga on Canal Street

that helped me with the dye and shit,

but, you know... But I started it, you feel me?

Gotta get the cream joints. Ooh-hoo.

You get the cream joints and, you know,

you pick whatever color dye you want, then boom,

it's right there, son.

It's easy as that.

- Look at you. - Come on, son.

Peace, peace.

So what Bobby and Divine think about,

you know, you getting with they little sister?

Man, nigga, that's family.

Why you kept it a secret for so long, then?

What you talking 'bout?

Last year, y'all was, like, creeping around Bobby crib

when nobody was there.

Seen it like a Zenith.

Tryin' to be all undercover and shit, son.

I kept it to myself. I ain't no snitch.

Yeah, I gotta go drop these groceries off

Come on.

Hey, yo, chill, son.

You know, just visiting an ex.

What about you? You...

Is he yours?

Yeah. His name's Infinite.

Oh, child.

I'm not a child.

I guess you're not.

You always were concerned with taking care of others.

Well, we all can't be selfish and just run off.

You never even called Mom.

If I had thought that was gon' come back on y'all, I...

I'm sorry for what I did.

Truly.

Right. Well, I gotta go.

I'll tell my mother you said hello.

It's the hottest shit coming out of New York City.

Wu-Tang is for everybody.

This music gon' get you high, son.

I heard you're selling "tapes."

Yeah.

You got $10?

Gon' love it, son.

Make sure you tell your friends about it.

Tell they friends about it too.

- Hey, yo, son. - Where the fuck you go?

I was hollerin' at this fine chocolate deluxe shorty.

- - When I turned around... - Fuck outta here, son.

Y'all was gone, so I figured

might as well sell some product while I wait.

What's up with the radio?

Shit struck out, son.

Don't even ask me about that shit.

Yo, you giving away our weed?

Selling away, son.

Relax. Plenty left. Just gotta entice 'em.

Like a prize in the cereal box, you know what I'm saying?

These college kids love Wu-Tang, baby.

Pow! Check it out.

- What's that? - Fuck is this, man?

Let me see this shit.

Yo.

Yo, I'm telling you,

these guys know how to get a party started.

Okay, look, I know you're a New Yorker.

So am I, but the West is dominating right now.

Earl, trust me, you're gonna be running back

to buy more records before you know it.

A'ight.

- A'ight? - A'ight.

- A'ight. - Come on.

- Earl, right? - Yeah.

Divine Diggs, Wu-Tang Productions.

Look, I-I know the West is poppin'.

There's no doubt.

But if you're looking for that raw New York shit,

I got something for you.

- Word? - Mm-hmm.

Oh, yo, this what I'm talking about.

New York needs this shit right now.

This shit'll definitely sell.

Yo, I'm saying, so... so let's talk numbers.

I can move about 1,000 each for you.

- 1,000? - Uh-huh.

- Okay, you got a card? - Yeah.

Bet.

All right, so the tapes are wholesale for $2.99.

Then the vinyl is $1.99.

I can get you an invoice, and then you can

make the check out to Wu-Tang Productions.

It's right there on the card. Or you know what?

If you wanna give me cash because that's easier...

This your first time working with a One-Stop, huh?

- Why? - It's consignment, bro.

We pay you when we sell the records.

Yo, but that guy just said something about you

buying more records.

That guy is the owner of a record label.

Y'all with a label, or y'all independent?

- We, uh... - We independent for now.

- I'm sorry, bro. - I thought you knew.

I can still flip the records for you.

You just gonna have to wait to see the money.

Yeah, that's okay.

I got your card, right? I'll... I'll hit you up.

A'ight.

Yeah, keep that.

I just hate the way that she was looking at me.

Judging me like I'm irresponsible.

She probably just jealous of you, for real.

Why would she be jealous of me?

'Cause all she do is, you know,

burn everything down around her.

That's probably why her ass be skippin' town every month.

She don't know how to build a real life.

Not like the one you over here building for us.

Yo, who the fuck are you talking to right now?

Yo, why is he here?

'Vine want us calling up the radio stations and shit,

trying to build up the single.

Get people checking for it, know what I mean?

Mm. And he couldn't do that at his house?

Yeah, it's long-distance calls and shit.

He said his moms is gone freak out, so...

So hold on, hold on, hold on.

Hey, yo, shorty, you... you ain't gotta raise your voice.

Yo, shut the fuck up and listen sometimes, man!

What's wrong with that bitch?

Hey, yo, what station was that, B?

Bitch wouldn't take my fucking request.

Excuse me... woman wouldn't take my fucking request, guy.

They got some ignorant people answering the phone, son.

I know y'all not talking.

You're too aggressive.

Haven't you heard you catch more flies

with honey than vinegar?

What are you talking about?

Nobody's... who's catching flies?

Not you. Move.

Thank you.

Have you called this one in Atlanta?

Nah.

WGBO 102.1.

Hey there.

Hi, what can I do for you?

Yeah, I was wondering if you could play that, um,

"Protect Ya Neck" by the Wu-Tang Clan?

Wu-Tang what?

Girl, let me tell you.

Can I help you with something?

It's all right.

- You a buyer, yo. - You should... you should know

good hip-hop when you hear it.

Honestly, I'm more of a British synthpop kind of guy.

Do you know New Order's album?

Yo, what the fuck?

All right, look, I only pretended

to be into rap and R&B

so I could get this job as an urban buyer.

I don't know what's good.

I just buy what the label sends me.

And I blew my budget already, man.

I'm sorry.

Hell yeah, son.

Y'all don't want this shit, man.

You know how they do it right here.

Hey, yo, y'all letting some first-timers whup y'all ass.

Why Ol' Dirty Bastard?

'Cause ain't no father to my style,

How's it gonna be a party without no music?

Come on, let's bounce.

We used to hang around in the same neighborhood.

Yeah. I forget.

It's good to see you after all this time.

Hey, yo, wouldn't that shit be crazy

- They do. - You gotta keep watching,

know what I mean?

I'm here to sort it out now.

Oh, shit, man.

It's getting late, so we're gonna head out.

What's up?

I came over here to relax.

Y'all managed to Tom Sawyer me into doing your work.

- Tom Sawyer? - What you talkin' 'bout?

Y'all both need to pick up a book

from time to time.

Nah, I'm good with the flicks.

Come on, you know I be reading

mad comic books, baby.

- Yeah, okay. - Can you hand me his stuff?

Yeah, I got you.

Get home safe. Thanks for your help.

Looks like you had about as much luck

as I did, huh?

- Damn, yo. - Not one distributor?

No, no, we found one, but he works on consignment.

This point, it's probably worth it.

- It's better than nothing. - It's something.

Yo, hey, our shit is too dope.

I don't know what the fuck is going on.

You know, when I was out there hustling,

you once told me that my way wasn't the only way.

I didn't want to hear it then, but you're right, Bobby.

Yo, this music, your music, it's the way.

And I have your back now.

It's not a... it's not a sprint, Bobby.

It's a marathon. We just have to keep grinding.

Hey, Violet, can I ride with you to the Def Jam party?

Hey, yo. Yo.

Y'all said something about a... a Def Jam party?

Oh, so now you wanna talk to me.

What, you think someone like me

doesn't know anything about rap music?

It's not even like that.

I'm just messing with you.

Violet.

- Yo, RZA. - This is my brother Divine.

- Hey, hey, - Hey.

Just out here trying to get our record out

to a distributor.

Yeah?

Wu-Tang Clan, huh? That's, uh, different.

If we could just play the song for you or, like...

Oh, no need.

I heard it after you walked right by me

and played it at the booth across from mine.

I like it.

You definitely got something here.

You on the radio?

Yeah, we... you know, we working on it.

Call me when you get some spins, you know?

Could be college radio, wherever.

Just give me something to work with

so I can show my bosses and get you into our stores.

Thank you, uh... Violet Brown.

Hey, I'm sorry 'Vine. I wasn't...

Yo, for what?

We got a consignment deal and a contact

for one of the biggest retail buyers in the country.

Might not be what we had hoped for,

but it's more than we had at the start of the day.

Hopefully, the rest of the clan

is coming through with that radio airplay.

Yo, hello?

It's that same fucking radio station, guy.

A'ight, let's do this, Dumbo.

Yo, why I gotta be Dumbo, Mickey Mouse?

Yo, this area is private.

Excuse me, can I help y'all with something?

Hey, yo, we got something for you.

Yo, I love college, man.

Where can I get a application at?

You think it's just parties and shit,

but your ass wouldn't last a week in college.

Taking tests and shit? Nah, son.

Yo, all you gotta do is memorize shit,

spit it back out.

Not that much different than rhyming in the studio.

- Word. - Nah, that's you, kid.

Too many white people for me, son.

Yo, you know they got Black colleges, right?

- Then what? - Get a nine-to-five?

That ain't me, son.

Yo, RZA got a five-year plan

that's better than four years in college.

Yo, they keep rock orders

like there was rock orders last night,

it ain't gon' take five years, son.

We on our way. Wu-Tang, baby.

- Word. - Word.

If you were at the Zeta Rho Phi party

that got shut down last night, I hope you made it back.

Here's that new joint by some dudes

who tore it down last night.

"Protect Ya Neck" by Wu-Tang Clan.

Yo, this shit you gave me is dope.

Where you say you got it?

Dudes just rushed the station.

Came up in here like, "Play our record."

You should play it tonight.

- Hell yeah. - Yeah.

You heard us on "Stretch and Bob," know what I mean?

We was doing what we supposed to do,

handling our business and all of that.

- Hey, yo, y'all. - I did, yo. I did.

And I gave that shit to a motherfucking DJ

at the convention center, and he played that shit too.

And Meth and them got that college to play it.

It's a good start, but, uh,

we need major play at radio stations.

- You dig? - Word.

- You dig? - We gon' get that.

All right.

- - Yo, cousin, cousin! - What's up, yo?

What's the word with the gods, huh?

Street team down in VA working.

They love the new record.

Yo, we might need another pressing.

We still gotta make our money back, nigga.

Come on, son, consignment ain't it.

Once we head up 95 hitting up all the towns,

getting our name out there,

shit gonna be selling like crack rocks, man.

- That's what I'm sayin'. - Word, word, word.

Son, so where we headed first?

Yo, I think, uh, Connecticut, maybe Providence.

Some shit like that.

Divine planned all this shit, so...

Shit, it's gon' be funky on that van.

I went ahead and got that special fix, know what I mean?

That's the new shit, nigga.

Yeah, what you know about that?

Right here on WBLS 107.5,

New York's home for the hottest hip-hop and R&B.

I got a brand-new exclusive for you.

And this song is bubbling in the streets right now.

Coming at you from Staten Island,

here's Wu-Tang Clan with "Protect Ya Neck."

Oh, shit!

Oh, shit! Oh!

Hey yo, yo, y'all niggas hear that shit?

Y'all hear that shit, nigga?

- Yo, yo, come on! - Come on, come on, come on!

What the fuck?

- Yo, yo! - You hear that shit?

- Hey. - Where to, sir?

Uh, JFK, please.

Ooh, can you turn that up?

Hey, could you pull over real quick?

I can't believe this is happening again.

I know this guy.

You know what? Actually, never mind.

I'm going to, uh... I'm gonna stay.

- Are you sure? - Yeah, I have to.

By the way, you didn't catch the name of the song,

- did you? - Nah.

- Hey, yo. Hey, yo, yo. - This is big, son.

We made it. We made it.

Yo, whatever that song was

you just played by whoever that was,

y'all need to play that again, right now,

back-to-back on a loop.

Hello?

Hello?

Am I on the air?

Is this a answering machine?

The hell kind of station is this?

I'd like to request.

"Protect Ya Neck" by the Wu-Tang Clan.

If y'all don't know what I'm talkin' about,

y'all shouldn't even be on this job.

That means you out of touch with the people.

That means you got no ear to the streets,

you know what I'm saying? That means...

Y'all finally played some real shit.

Y'all finally played some real shit for the streets.

Soooo!

Can you please tell your DJs

to put that Wu-Tang in the rotation?

I'm sittin' here by my radio with a cassette,

lookin' stupid, 'waitin' to record.

Not that I'm broke or nothin'.

But I need a copy of that, feel me?

- Yo, what's up, man? - Coolin', man.

Chillin', chillin'. Yo, you know I had to call.

- You know why, right? - Why?

Because, yo, I never, ever call

and ask you to play something, right?

Yeah.

You know what I wanna hear, right?

What you wanna hear?

I wanna hear that Wu-Tang joint.

- Wu-Tang again? - Ah, yeah.

Again and again.

Get on the line.
