00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:03 I just don't think we can live together.
00:23 Wow, this sounds like a, you know, I pay for your life,
00:25 but I ain't in it type shit.
00:26 You want a break?
00:28 You got it.
00:29 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:31 Excuse me, who's here?
00:32 Maurice?
00:33 This is my friend, Dr. Montclair.
00:35 We went to high school together.
00:37 Let me take you to lunch.
00:38 We can catch up without all these interruptions.
00:40 I searched my mind trying to figure out
00:41 why my stubborn ass father would call me out.
00:43 I hear you've been trying to expand.
00:45 I'm sending you someone.
00:46 Put him to work in your organization.
00:48 I decide who works for me.
00:49 Let me know how he does.
00:51 And that VIP is over there calling your name,
00:52 sweetheart.
00:53 Damn, who the fuck is that?
00:54 That is Angel.
00:56 So why you asking me here?
00:57 I need a name, and I know you know it.
00:59 Nigga, I'm not the Yellow Pages.
01:01 Santiago Dominguez asked around for the Havana house.
01:04 Are you Santiago?
01:05 No, no, I ain't.
01:06 Say, loco.
01:07 So you came looking for me to be my plug?
01:10 Fuck yeah, man.
01:11 Fuck yeah.
01:13 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:16 [DRUMMING]
01:32 Stop, bitch.
01:34 Stop.
01:35 Come on, pops.
01:35 You mad at my skills?
01:36 No, no, no.
01:37 Making noise like that ain't a skill to be proud of.
01:39 Boy, a drummer's job ain't to show off.
01:44 Look, in a band, everyone plays their position.
01:53 A good percussionist makes the rest of the band feel safe.
01:58 See, he's the rock because he lays the foundation.
02:02 So kind of like how you are for our family, huh?
02:06 Show me something now.
02:07 All right.
02:09 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:12 OK.
02:12 Mm-hmm.
02:13 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:15 OK.
02:18 It's human nature to seek our sanctuary.
02:20 Some of us find it in family or religion.
02:23 But for pops and me, it was always with music.
02:26 They could take away our heat, our water, our dignity,
02:30 but never our expression.
02:31 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:34 [DOOR BELL RINGING]
02:38 [GRUNTING]
02:52 Fuck.
02:52 Watch that ass.
02:53 Come on, pop.
02:53 Motherfucker robbed us.
02:55 The money's gone.
02:56 Weak.
02:57 The thing about sanctuaries is that you
02:59 got to fight to protect them.
03:00 The same shit that gives us peace of mind
03:02 is what we rage wars over.
03:04 Guess that's why they say, no rest for the fucking weary.
03:07 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:08 I got everything on the line.
03:10 I hear I'm on the grind, trying to get mine.
03:13 At least you can wish me luck.
03:14 I like to move the weight, trying to get the game.
03:17 I'm in and out of state.
03:18 At least you can wish me luck.
03:19 Too many niggas fake.
03:21 It's hard to tell a snake.
03:22 One more flip and I'm staying.
03:24 At least you can wish me luck.
03:25 I don't go hand to hand.
03:26 It go right off the ground.
03:28 You holler at me, man.
03:29 At least you can wish me luck.
03:31 Too many niggas fake.
03:32 It's hard to tell a snake.
03:33 One more flip and I'm staying.
03:35 At least you can wish me luck.
03:36 The D's ain't that good.
03:37 These niggas is threatening.
03:39 They tell them what's going on.
03:40 That's how they know what's happening.
03:42 I'm riding with the top down trunk full of Yola.
03:45 Get a pharmaceutical.
03:46 I move that Coca-Cola.
03:47 1,000 brands of Pyrrha, though.
03:49 I fuck with the weirdos.
03:50 They snort away the pain, bang the dope in they veins.
03:52 Shorty crying Christmas ain't coming.
03:54 Our pop's locked up.
03:55 When it hurts the worst, she aged by now she locked up.
03:58 Wealth ain't an option when the feds come knocking.
04:01 It's all fucked up.
04:02 So wish me luck.
04:03 At least you can wish me luck.
04:05 I'm on the way, trying to get the day.
04:06 I'm in and out of state.
04:08 At least you can wish me luck.
04:09 Too many niggas fake.
04:10 It's hard to tell a snake.
04:12 One more flip and I'm staying.
04:13 At least you can wish me luck.
04:15 I don't put hand to hand.
04:16 It go right off the ground.
04:17 You holler at me, man.
04:19 At least you can wish me luck.
04:20 Too many niggas fake.
04:21 It's hard to tell a snake.
04:23 One more flip and I'm straight.
04:24 At least you can wish me luck.
04:27 At least you can wish me luck.
04:30 Oh, yeah, wish me luck.
04:34 All you got to do is wish me luck.
04:38 Yeah.
04:39 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:45 You're dying me out, huh?
04:46 What you talking about?
04:47 The MK's blindsided me at that plug meeting you helped set up.
04:50 You think I'm fucking stupid?
04:52 Then my crib gets jacked?
04:55 Look, I'm sorry all that happened to you.
04:57 But I ain't say shit to nobody about nothing.
05:00 Now, if you'll excuse me, time is money.
05:03 And it's Jack the Rapper weekend, so--
05:06 Everything good?
05:08 Yeah.
05:09 Yeah, we cool.
05:10 Puffy's calling for you.
05:12 Yes.
05:12 Don't stress.
05:13 Go, go.
05:14 There you go.
05:15 A little kickstart.
05:16 Sorry, B.
05:17 Speaking of money, make a good team, you and me.
05:20 Got that next green for me to claim.
05:24 I had him on a setback.
05:25 So it's going to be a minute.
05:26 Mm-hmm.
05:27 Let me ask you something.
05:29 Who the fuck is Jack the Rapper?
05:31 [LAUGHS]
05:33 You got a whole lot to learn, young blood.
05:35 Jack the Rapper is a black radio music invention.
05:38 Shit take over the whole goddamn city when it rolled, though.
05:41 That's where cats come to learn a little something
05:42 about the music game.
05:44 Elevate their hustle by rubbing elbows with the upper echelon.
05:46 Know what I'm talking about?
05:47 Tell you.
05:50 What about them boys over there?
05:53 Yeah.
05:55 Mm-hmm.
05:57 Tell you something, Detroit, if I was a blind man,
05:59 I could smell money.
05:59 [MUSIC PLAYING]
06:03 Hey, where the hell Roland been?
06:08 I don't know.
06:09 This girl just had a baby.
06:11 Roland got a little rolly roll now.
06:13 Oh, shit.
06:14 Yeah, the freezer's back up.
06:15 Cool.
06:16 What was it y'all needed to rap about?
06:18 We sold out all the whip work, right?
06:22 OK.
06:23 And you know how Lopso North End been getting all the ants
06:25 here?
06:26 So I called them and told them we got more weight coming in.
06:28 But the Bulldagger bitch got to him first.
06:31 And stole a couple of other clients too.
06:33 And Diz.
06:34 Even Diz?
06:35 Yeah.
06:36 Fuck.
06:40 Man, I've known that nigga since Little League.
06:42 So what you want to do?
06:43 [PHONE RINGING]
06:46 Hey, I've been thinking about you.
06:51 I miss you.
06:52 That's nice.
06:53 I've been busy with the family, Terry Jr. and stuff like that.
06:56 That's what we doing now.
06:58 Oh, come on.
06:59 Don't be salty, T. You know I want to be with you.
07:03 I just had to pump the brakes for a second.
07:05 That Saint shit really fucked me up.
07:07 No, I'm not salty at all.
07:09 Between Terry Jr., he's sick, LaWanda's pregnancy.
07:14 You're really just doing me a favor.
07:17 Why don't you come over and we could talk about it in person?
07:21 My kids are with my parents.
07:22 And I don't have any panties on.
07:26 She misses you.
07:28 Nah, you know what?
07:29 I'm busy.

07:55 I'm trying to find Bruce Wayne so I can
07:56 clip that motherfucker's wings.

08:13 We going to ride for Ty when the time is right.
08:16 And Remy going to get what's coming to him for sure.
08:19 But right now we need to be focused
08:20 on beating our fucking family.
08:22 But how we going to eat in the meantime?
08:24 Shit, I pawned my Rolexes.
08:26 So I got something to break y'all off with.
08:28 Damn.
08:30 It looks, Meech.
08:31 Yeah, I take care of my people.
08:33 And I just told that to the plug.
08:34 We back in regular rotation.
08:36 What's going to make up for the losses in no time.
08:39 We going to build more pipelines in the eight.
08:41 But we need more manpower.
08:44 That's why we going to Jack the Rapper.
08:45 - Hey. - Hell yeah.
08:46 Hell yeah.
08:47 Hey.
08:48 Hell yeah.
08:49 And we going to show the MKs and the Atlanta crews,
08:52 no matter what they thought us, we
08:53 ain't skipping no motherfucking beat.
08:55 That's solid.
08:56 Dealers from all over the country be at Jack.
08:59 Look, man, you come in here acting like Moses.
09:01 But me and mine, we ain't wandering around the desert
09:03 with your ass no more.
09:04 Well, you going to die of thirst without me then, partner.
09:10 You'll see, nigga.
09:11 You ain't never put on shit for us.
09:16 [MUSIC PLAYING]
09:19 I'm going to go head on, Charlie.
09:21 You know I'm Atlanta.
09:22 I'm right, let me show you.
09:23 [MUSIC PLAYING]
09:26 Rip, you better bring your mixtape.
09:35 You already know.
09:36 Yo, forget stacks, man.
09:40 We better off without them.
09:41 Yo, since your crib got hit, if you
09:43 need a place to lay your head, feel free to crash.
09:47 Appreciate it, though.
09:48 But the mansion's a block, and the Getty community,
09:51 them are my style.
09:53 It is a great indicator.
09:56 It's also safer to do business over here.
09:58 Yeah, look, them HOAs, they like the mafia themselves.
10:02 I mean, someone legit going to have to sign for it.
10:04 [MUSIC PLAYING]
10:08 BMF was built on loyalty and brotherhood.
10:13 With these two things, we got a bright future ahead of us.
10:17 We just can't let outsiders get in the way.
10:19 Outsiders?
10:20 Your biggest threat is the Cyclops in the mirror.
10:23 Yeah, man, since Meech left, your new regime
10:25 been rigid as fuck.
10:26 Yeah, are we sick of being deemed for late payments
10:29 or being a few bucks short?
10:30 Our loyalty is to Meech, not his penny-pinching baby backup.
10:35 You're right.
10:38 I'm not my brother.
10:40 I'm running shit my way.
10:41 What's up with the rest of you?
10:50 Man, fuck all that, man.
10:51 Where's the product, T?
10:53 I'm waiting on that shit like it's my fucking kidney, man.
10:55 It's coming. When?
10:56 Soon.
10:57 Hey, look, we been wanting to bounce,
10:58 and now that we got other options, deuces.
11:02 Hey, D, hold on, hold on, man.
11:04 Hold on.
11:05 [MUSIC PLAYING]
11:10 Remember when you ran the register at Watkins?
11:12 We would come over and eat all the leftovers
11:14 when your shift was done.
11:16 You ate all the leftovers, T?
11:19 Surprised you wouldn't turn on Fat Albert on us.
11:21 Look, the gist is, I put you on.
11:27 You really going to play me like that?
11:28 Fine.
11:34 Guess I can cancel my order with Henry.
11:35 Your hamburger-ass happy?
11:38 No.
11:39 Don't cancel shit.
11:40 I need to know Henry's every fucking move,
11:43 and you're in position to get him.
11:45 Appreciate you, cousin.
11:54 Hey, for what it's worth, I don't
12:01 give two-soiled shits about what your pop say.
12:04 You been motherfucking ready, OK?
12:07 Managing to get that pure wave from them racist-ass
12:09 Chaldeans proved that shit.
12:11 BMF may have the soldiers, but they dropping like dominoes.
12:14 It's only a matter of time before the board
12:15 clears for a new regime.
12:18 Motherfuckers don't knock at your course.
12:22 I could knock your skinny ass out if you're curious.
12:25 All right, all right, all right.
12:27 Howdy, East One.
12:28 Somebody in need of a cavalry.
12:29 Just because my father vouched for you, don't make you it.
12:37 I'm the swinging dick running this show.
12:39 So if you need something, I'm going to need to start
12:42 hearing some beat, a tapping.
12:44 Look here, any tap dancing I do is on the necks
12:47 of motherfuckers in my way.
12:48 Now, I am here for my son's protection.
12:51 So why don't you just tell me what the fuck I got to do,
12:52 and let's get on with it?
12:53 You could escort a shipment I got coming.
13:00 If you want your flight to land smoothly,
13:01 you need to find a ship that can hide in plain sight.
13:04 In other words, there are just some vehicles
13:06 that cops don't fuck with.
13:08 Mm, pops.
13:21 Come here, son.
13:23 Man, I missed you, pops.
13:24 How was first class?
13:25 I can get used to five-star treatment like that.
13:27 No, we can get down.
13:28 Yeah.
13:29 I'm going to stop you by the mall real quick
13:30 and get some new threads.
13:31 You know how you like to show all the style.
13:33 Yeah, that sounds nice.
13:34 But when we see you in this house,
13:35 you thinking about buying.
13:36 You said you want me to look out the foundation.
13:38 And I want to show you my boy Duffy Recorder Studio.
13:40 It's killer, huh?
13:41 All right, is this you?
13:42 It's me, baby.
13:43 Ooh.
13:45 Asymmetrical walls, high ceilings.
13:48 Bet the acoustics here are nice, huh?
13:50 Yes, sir.
13:51 Yes, sir.
13:52 You know, music's a passion for me, Mr. Flannery.
13:54 And Meets here said that you know how to get our bars sounding
13:57 crisp as damn cracker tracks.
13:59 Yeah, I tried building a basement studio back home.
14:01 I just never had the funds to finish.
14:04 For real.
14:06 Whoa, snap.
14:07 Family affair this weekend?
14:09 Hey, Duffy, why don't you show Pops the sound quality?
14:11 Oh, yeah, yeah.
14:12 Pops, let me know what you think, all right?
14:13 Get up in here, Pops.
14:14 Man, ghost these passes, dog.
14:19 Can't have my daddy no drug dealer palooza.
14:22 For sure.
14:23 All right, sound pops.
14:30 Man, woo.
14:31 Them speakers got some range.
14:34 Ooh, I like it.
14:35 Oh, now that song takes me back.
14:38 Look at you.
14:39 Stell, thank you so much for filling in for Nicole.
14:45 I guess she just wanted to be with her friends.
14:48 I'm happy to help.
14:49 Besides, church is a great place to meet single men.
14:53 I'm praying the Lord giveth me a three six.
14:57 Six pack, six feet, six figures.
15:00 You know what?
15:01 I can't take you nowhere.
15:02 I know you right about that.
15:04 Because I honestly have no idea what I'm doing.
15:08 Because the cake batter is too loose.
15:11 The church ain't even going to accept this.
15:13 Speaking of cakes, when you going to let
15:19 the good doctor accept yours?
15:21 If you don't lower your voice up in here,
15:27 I do not want these church folks all up in my business.
15:30 You've got to get back out there, cuz.
15:33 Look, I'm not even divorced yet.
15:36 And just because Charles can keep it in his pants
15:40 does not give me a green light to ungodly behavior.
15:45 You think that stopped me after I
15:46 kicked Lazy Lee Bird to the curb?
15:49 Her life is too short to waste time.
15:51 Maurice is still so fine.
15:59 [SCREAMING]
16:01 [LAUGHING]
16:02 Stop it.
16:03 And he's so kind.
16:05 And he's like-- he's successful.
16:08 And Charles is in Atlanta.
16:11 You owe it to yourself to go see if something is still there.
16:16 OK, you know what they say.
16:19 A good man is hard to find.
16:23 But a hard man is good to find.
16:29 If you don't cut this--
16:32 girl.
16:33 If your customers don't get their orders from him,
16:35 they'll come running back to you, handing it to him.
16:37 That's cool.
16:38 We'll raise the rent on those ungrateful fucks.
16:40 Gonna have to move quick.
16:42 Had a home delivery coming tonight.
16:44 Oh, yeah?
16:45 How'd you know that, Sherlock?
16:46 I had to kiss the ring on that lumberjack-looking bitch.
16:48 While there, I peeped a whole crew retrofitting an ambulance
16:51 with Brighton stickers.
16:54 Damn, when all my car ride runs, I ain't never
16:57 see the ambulance truck at search.
16:59 That's how she's moving her way.
17:02 Smart as fuck.
17:03 Damn.
17:04 So from Brighton, that Amber wagon
17:06 going to be riding dirty all the way down I-96.
17:10 You're going to risk the Jeffers getting jammed.
17:13 Smart move.
17:14 It's Grand River.
17:15 I hope you're going to have the rent for him.
17:20 Take my top shooter cuss with you.
17:22 Whatever you do, make sure that ambulance don't make his drive.
17:26 [MUSIC PLAYING]
17:29 You ever been in a gun battle?
17:42 Not yet.
17:45 So you're a virgin.
17:47 I'm going to pop your firefight cherry.
17:49 I promise I will be gentle.
17:54 I'm not afraid of dying.
17:55 When I OD'd, I saw the light.
18:01 And it was the most beautiful, peaceful thing I've ever seen.
18:05 My sister was beaten to death.
18:16 Shit still haunts me.
18:20 [MUSIC PLAYING]
18:24 I hope she saw what you saw.
18:26 [MUSIC PLAYING]
18:29 [CHUCKLES]
18:38 Woo.
18:39 It's the same kind of house your mom and I
18:40 dreamt of moving into one day.
18:42 Well, the papers are all filled out.
18:43 All you got to do is sign.
18:47 Can you give us a minute?
18:48 Of course.
18:49 Thank you.
18:50 It's got a nice foundation, son.
18:56 Only thing is, I don't got legitimate income.
19:00 I was thinking maybe you could sign off on it for me.
19:04 You know, I still don't agree with what you do,
19:05 but I respect how hard you work at it.
19:07 We'll see.
19:10 [FOOTSTEPS]
19:14 What?
19:22 What?
19:25 Oh, wait a minute.
19:27 This is a mistake?
19:29 An engineer?
19:30 Oh, yeah, pops.
19:31 I had to stretch some of the info.
19:32 Good thing is, the relative, she died with me.
19:34 So don't even trip about it.
19:36 You know, Meach, this is not my salary lease,
19:38 but damn sure ain't my pay stubs.
19:40 I'm paying everything up front, all right?
19:41 The money is not an issue.
19:42 The issue is, it's illegal.
19:44 So is boosting a neighbor's cable
19:46 when electricity goes out.
19:48 And tampering with the meter.
19:49 Come on, now.
19:50 Don't do this to me, man.
19:50 Boy, I had a family to support.
19:52 Everything I did was for survival.
19:53 And so is this.
19:55 I was just staying at a crib that got broken into.
19:58 I'm trying to be at a spot I don't have to keep
19:59 looking over my shoulder.
20:00 I thought you wanted me to be safe.
20:02 That's all I ever wanted for you, Meach, which is why I
20:04 asked you to end this nonsense.
20:06 And now you asking me to be complicit?
20:09 Oh, no, you know what?
20:11 I need to sleep on this.
20:12 So why don't you call me a cab back to the hotel?
20:14 I'll be outside.
20:15 You sure we ain't going to run into anyone, Tom?
20:26 I mean, can you even make that shit out?
20:27 Just shut the fuck up and keep us between the lines.
20:30 [gunshot]
20:31 [tires screeching]
20:34 [glass shattering]
20:34 [grunting]
20:38 Let's finish this, nigga.
20:41 Hey.
20:41 You're a snook.
20:50 [gunshots]
20:50 Ow.
20:51 [gunshots]
20:54 [sirens]
20:57 [gunshots]
20:59 [sirens]
21:00 Police!
21:01 Drop your weapons!
21:02 You fucking fucker!
21:03 Stop right now!
21:04 Get your hands up where I can see them!
21:06 [gunshots]
21:09 [grunting]
21:10 Fuck!
21:11 [grunting]
21:16 [gunshots]
21:17 [gasping]
21:19 [grunting]
21:20 [panting]
21:23 [panting]
21:26 [grunting]
21:29 [gunshot]
21:30 Oh, shit.
21:31 [panting]
21:34 [panting]
21:40 Hiding in plain sight, my ass!
21:43 This is why I don't take recs from my father.
21:45 He sends me limp dick ex-cops who can't
21:47 get the goddamn job right.
21:50 Somebody fetch me Twan!
21:52 I need to know what the fuck happened.
21:54 Well, you're going to be sending your errand boy to hell,
21:56 yeah?
21:57 Because that's where that nigga then
21:58 took up permanent residence.
21:59 [music playing]
22:03 Twan?
22:04 Yo, that was my fucking blood, man!
22:10 [gunshots]
22:12 [screaming]
22:14 Sorry for your loss.
22:16 But BMF knew when, where, and what to look for.
22:20 So if you're looking for a place to channel that anger--
22:22 Tell me everything you know about T.
22:32 [music playing]
22:38 [knocking]
22:40 Who was coming in my house this early?
22:42 Can I help you?
22:47 I'm Lisa Murray from Child Protective Services.
22:50 Oh, shit.
22:52 I'm here about Terry Flannery Jr.
22:55 Are you the parents?
22:57 Yeah, yeah.
22:58 What was-- what's going on?
23:00 We received a call regarding Terry Jr.'s well-being.
23:02 I'm here to ensure he's in a safe environment.
23:05 But TJ is fine.
23:06 Does this child have a history of asthma?
23:13 No.
23:14 Has he even been checked out?
23:16 Wait, hold on.
23:17 Ma'am, whoa, look.
23:19 We're responsible parents, all right?
23:21 TJ just have a simple code.
23:23 You know, what you're investigating
23:24 is completely false and unwarranted claim.
23:26 Smoking is a health hazard for children, even more so
23:28 if there's marijuana involved.
23:30 Whoa, wait.
23:31 We are a drug-free family here.
23:32 Look, lady, ma'am, whoever called is probably just--
23:36 they're just joking, or they're just full of shit.
23:37 It's probably a prank.
23:39 Can you just please give us a name?
23:40 You'll be privy to the details of the investigation
23:42 in 30 days, once it goes to the judge.
23:45 Judge?
23:46 Judge?
23:48 Hey, hey, look, look.
23:49 Hey, hey, I'm going to fix this.
23:51 And I promise you, I'm going to fix this one.
23:52 Terry, this got that cradle-robbing
23:54 ass bitch's name all over it.
23:56 She mad because you with me and not her sorry ass no more.
23:59 I don't-- I don't think my kids would do some shit like this.
24:02 You better talk to that bitch, because if you don't get her
24:04 to back the fuck up, I will, all right?
24:06 Mayor Hartsfield envisioned Atlanta as the entertainment
24:17 capital of the South.
24:19 So when DJ pioneer Jack Gibson threw the biggest
24:22 urban radio music convention in the country,
24:25 Atlanta was a perfect host.
24:26 Come on.
24:27 Who's a black sheep?
24:28 What's a black sheep?
24:29 Know not who I am or when I'm coming, so you sleep.
24:32 Wasn't in my home or wasn't in your sphere.
24:34 Knew not who I was, but less than here.
24:36 Rats with the ointment, ass, yes, I guess I could start.
24:39 Without beating around the bush,
24:41 we're glad that you're hanging out with the sugar, sugar man,
24:44 Jack the Rapper.
24:45 Ow!
24:48 Gospel, funk, R&B, jazz, family affair was home
24:52 to everyone in black music.
24:55 Then hip hop burst onto the scene.
24:57 Sponsors warned old mellow yellow rappers
24:59 would ruin the party with their drama,
25:01 but he invited them anyway, embracing
25:03 black cultural freedom in all its forms.
25:06 Like the Chalks, hip hop dominated the event.
25:09 And in honor of his fast-talking founder,
25:12 the streets re-christianed that shit, Jack the Rapper.
25:14 [MUSIC - JACK THE RAPPER, "THIS IS WHAT YOU THINK OF"]
25:16 Come on.
25:17 This is where it's at.
25:18 Come on.
25:19 This is what you think of.
25:21 Got that heat.
25:23 Fire bones, how that be?
25:24 Oh, shit, they got them iggity, diggity,
25:26 jiggity niggas over there.
25:28 Damn, got everybody named Mama in this bitch.
25:31 Might have to break me off a big bite.
25:34 This is my type of party for sure.
25:37 Looks like it's your old man type of party too.
25:39 Pops.
25:43 Hey, Meech.
25:45 Ah.
25:46 You know your mama love her some Clark sisters.
25:48 You're supposed to be at the hotel.
25:50 Boy, I'm grown.
25:51 I dreamt of coming to Family Affairs
25:53 since T was in trainers.
25:54 You standing in history, son.
25:56 White folks would never give us the time of day,
25:58 so we had to create our own.
26:00 That sound good, Pops, but just look around.
26:02 Does this look like the same event to you?
26:06 I admit, the vibe is different.
26:11 Is there anything left decent you boys want poisoned?
26:13 Pops, that's why you gots to go.
26:15 Now what am I supposed to tell Mama
26:16 if something happened to you?
26:18 So now you thinking about my well-being?
26:21 Let me live, boy.
26:22 Rakeshia.
26:36 Rakeshia, girl, where the hell you--
26:38 yo, Kesh.
26:39 What you doing busting up in my house like that?
26:40 First of all, this is my house.
26:42 Hey, yo, did you call CPS on LaWanda and my kid?
26:44 Nigga, excuse you?
26:47 If you did, just tell me.
26:49 T, I'm a mother.
26:50 I know what calling the authorities
26:51 could do to people like us.
26:53 And how dare you accuse me of some fucked up shit like that?
26:56 Damn.
27:01 Look, I-- you right.
27:06 I'm sorry.
27:08 T, I love you.
27:12 I'm only going to lift you up.
27:13 I'm not going to tear you down ever.
27:15 I know.
27:16 I know.
27:17 It's just-- yo, this shit's been a lot.
27:19 My head is a little twisted.
27:21 They talking about pulling on my police reports,
27:23 school records, medical files.
27:25 If they find any shit they don't like, it's a riot.
27:28 My family's destroyed.
27:31 Damn, that's fucked up, T.
27:42 Back in the day, hip hop heads couldn't
27:44 catch a cold over the airwaves, let alone radio play.
27:48 So they used Jack the Rapper to get on with the DJs,
27:51 especially Uncle Luke.
27:53 That nigga threw the livest sweet parties at Jack.
27:56 Liquor was loose.
27:57 The women were looser.
27:58 Next thing you know, Luke's jams were bumping coast to coast.
28:01 I go on to use the same networking strategy.
28:09 You treat motherfuckers right, they're
28:11 never going to forget you.
28:14 Hey, that pimp Greeny over at Platinum,
28:17 comped our party favors.
28:19 Said we had that rat tail motherfucker to thank.
28:21 Yeah, there's no sweat, dog.
28:22 We're trying to spread the love.
28:23 Big niche, Motor City.
28:25 J Push, Hustle City.
28:27 I dabble in a little bit of everything.
28:29 You know, fish fries, peepers, birds.
28:33 When my little brother right here go pro,
28:34 I wonder, you know, give him a little taste of what to expect.
28:38 In fact, given all the opportunity in this room,
28:41 figured I'd make it a two for one.
28:43 So it seems like y'all know a lot about a lot.
28:46 I'm actually trying to expand my pipeline down to St. Louis.
28:49 My brother jamming, man.
28:50 I'm talking about the lockdown, the biggest DJ in the loop.
28:53 So if you really got that word, shit,
28:55 he sure as hell got them pipes.
28:58 Oh, yeah?
28:59 So that's what's up.
29:00 But you know, a lot of motherfuckers
29:01 like the shit from their mouth more than their asshole.
29:04 So I need to come down to St. Louis
29:05 and check y'all out myself before I
29:07 can make any commitments.
29:10 [MUSIC PLAYING]
29:13 [LAUGHS]
29:17 You know what?
29:19 If I didn't know any better, I would
29:21 swear that these were the popcorn balls from Euclid
29:25 Park in Cleveland.
29:26 Do you remember that?
29:29 Girl, you thought I couldn't forget?
29:30 Remember we used to take our shoes off, walk down the beach
29:33 when there was full moon?
29:34 Oh, my goodness.
29:38 Can I tell you a secret, though?
29:39 Hm.
29:42 These are the popcorn balls from Euclid Park.
29:44 What?
29:44 How?
29:45 They closed decades ago.
29:47 Mm.
29:48 They're a candy company now.
29:49 Hm.
29:50 I had them shipped here so you'd have a little pop of home.
29:53 How did you know I would even call you?
30:00 Truth is--
30:02 Hm.
30:05 I didn't.
30:07 But if there were just the slightest of chances,
30:11 I was going to be ready.
30:12 Got something else for you.
30:17 Oh, my goodness.
30:18 This is for your church.
30:24 Heard about the bake sale you spearheaded.
30:26 This is-- listen.
30:37 I did not expect you to do anything like this.
30:40 That was not my--
30:41 Lucille.
30:41 I--
30:42 Letting you walk away is one of my biggest regrets.
30:53 And if this lets me be a part of your life, even just a little,
30:59 then it's a blessing.
31:05 Thank you, Reese.
31:09 I haven't heard that in a long time.
31:15 Give me some.
31:25 Yes, sir.
31:25 You know my people have a saying.
31:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
31:36 Knowing how to read doesn't make you intelligent.
31:40 Just like having a fancy title doesn't mean
31:42 that your audio is in dog shit.
31:43 Truth is, I'm just getting back in the game.
31:49 So to an old head like me, maybe a little bit help.
31:54 Wesley Solomon, Colonial Records.
31:56 Now I must warn you we are small time,
31:58 but our breakthrough is on the horizon.
32:02 What is your name?
32:03 Charles Slenory.
32:05 You know what, Charles?
32:06 In the spirit of the family affair,
32:07 maybe we should fellowship.
32:10 Who knows?
32:12 Who knows?
32:13 Maybe you are the breakthrough that we're looking for.
32:31 God damn, nigga, they letting us blaze in here?
32:33 Hell no.
32:34 This Cali Kush is burning a hole in my pocket, so.
32:38 When you hit that motherfucker?
32:40 It's that shit.
32:46 Damn, nigga, I gotta be getting my weed from the wrong coast.
32:49 Yeah.
32:50 What that's about though?
32:57 That goofy looking motherfucker?
33:00 That's Leaks Miami folk.
33:02 They still popping off.
33:04 That's exactly why I roll deep.
33:06 We ain't got family everywhere I go.
33:09 You know what's crazy?
33:10 I used to think hip hop heads ain't have beef.
33:13 Shit, I'm thinking that's only my line of work.
33:15 Nigga, it's the same shit.
33:18 It's a different hustle.
33:20 Look, everybody in the hip hop game
33:21 ain't even trying to get out.
33:23 I'm gonna avoid it.
33:26 Ain't this rap shit a motherfucker though?
33:29 They used to throw the bucket I asked for the shit
33:30 we'd go through.
33:32 Now look at them.
33:33 Bending over backwards for our fucking stories.
33:35 Nose is all the way over.
33:37 That's how y'all make that cheese, you know.
33:40 America's most wanted for real.
33:42 Nigga, not just America.
33:44 They love them some Pac overseas.
33:47 Pac be loving their ass right back.
33:49 You know, like Jack the Rapper.
33:55 Taking this motherfucker over.
33:57 Yeah, maybe I'll be right there with you one day.
34:00 We're gonna get a menu out to you.
34:06 You're gonna--
34:07 T, we got a problem with our fucking delivery.
34:08 Oh, yo, our shipment, our beef shipment.
34:11 You guys give me a second.
34:12 I'm sorry. - Let's go.
34:13 Come on.
34:14 What the fuck is wrong with you?
34:18 I done blown up your phone.
34:20 Where the fuck is Cuz?
34:21 Man, I lost my fucking phone.
34:23 I just walked all the way here from Novi, nigga.
34:26 Novi.
34:27 And Cuz got fucking pinched.
34:29 Wait, what?
34:30 The fucking cops got involved?
34:31 Yes.
34:32 We must have been fucking tailed,
34:33 because as soon as shit went down,
34:35 it was raining fucking 5-0.
34:36 Listen, Cuz's a real one, all right?
34:38 You ain't gotta worry about him.
34:39 Get this.
34:40 Brian was there.
34:41 And this motherfucker is flying Henry colors now.
34:44 We gotta respect Henry's gangster.
34:46 I'm just saying, having somebody
34:47 hit both sides of the law comes in handy.
34:49 Especially now that Cuz backed up.
34:52 Maybe our organization should get on that.
34:55 I should have fucking killed that bitch.
34:57 It's that Southside.
35:02 Southside.
35:03 Southside.
35:04 Yo, yo.
35:06 This man Solomon here gave me some gems.
35:08 Now, what do y'all think about vinyl sound
35:10 barriers for the studio?
35:11 Oh, yeah.
35:12 I like that.
35:13 Yeah, yeah.
35:13 You see that pin an old dude wearing?
35:15 Mm-hmm.
35:16 That's some voodoo shit.
35:17 Them Haitians from Miami be wearing them in my shop.
35:20 Meech, that's a Miami killer.
35:21 Yeah.
35:22 Southside.
35:23 [MUSIC PLAYING]
35:25 Mixing something like that.
35:27 Now, Mr. Flannery, what you think about the sound?
35:29 Just be creative.
35:30 You despite me having a screen in the ballroom,
35:31 she can check it out.
35:32 I'm having fun right here.
35:34 You know, you should do the right thing, Charles.
35:39 You should listen to your son.
35:42 Don't y'all know each other?
35:43 Yo, get him out of here.
35:44 Let's go.
35:45 Come on, Meech.
35:46 Get your hands off me, man.
35:48 Yo, Meech, who is this guy?
35:50 I am the man that this T-boy lad

36:01 Yo, hold up.

36:06 Huh?
36:07 Typical American Negro.
36:09 Half a decade late and a dollar short,
36:12 yet you still think you deserve to have
36:16 a free pass in my city?
36:18 [LAUGHS]
36:21 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
36:25 Yo, I thought security was beefed up.
36:28 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
36:30 What?
36:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
36:33 I own security.
36:34 Just like I own the pimp who cleans your money.
36:42 Suck my dick, Miami motherfucker!
36:46 [GRUNTING]
36:48 What's up, boss?
36:49 [GRUNTING]
36:51 Talk some shit, man.

37:35 [GRUNTING]
37:38 Still getting settled in, you know?
37:44 Starting to feel like home.
37:45 You living big time now, huh?
37:47 [LAUGHS]
37:49 It is so nice.
37:52 Thanks for trying.
37:53 I got you a housewarming gift.
37:55 What you got?
37:56 You ready?
37:58 Oh, shit.
37:59 Oh, my god.
38:02 Yo, I thought I really was going to impress you with this.
38:05 And you shut my ass down so quick.
38:08 Wow.
38:09 Well, I'm glad you didn't give up.
38:12 Me too.
38:13 I missed you.
38:19 I missed you too.
38:21 [MUSIC PLAYING]
38:24 Terry?
38:44 Oh, shit.
38:45 Damn it.
38:46 Go home.
38:48 I'm coming!
38:49 Wait, wait, wait.
38:50 Sure, sure, sure.
38:51 Hey.
38:57 [SIGHS]
38:58 Shoot me.
39:01 Hi, Mrs. Flannery.
39:02 I need to talk to my son.
39:07 Yeah.
39:09 OK.
39:10 I will see you at dinner?
39:17 Mm-hmm.
39:18 I talked to LaWanda's mother, and she told
39:26 me what's happening with CPS.
39:28 So I'm going to need you to get your head out
39:30 of that cougar's ass and take this seriously.
39:33 That's exactly what I'm doing.
39:34 Why do you think I fast-tracked getting this place decorated?
39:37 So they could see that Terry Jr. has a nice place instead
39:40 of that damn chimney.
39:42 Desiree said the accusations are bogus.
39:45 Those three-letter folks, they have a track record
39:48 for ruining black families.
39:51 The few years that I was in the foster care system,
39:54 they were the most traumatic years of my life.
39:57 It makes you feel less than, like there's
40:03 no ground underneath your feet, like you are unworthy.
40:07 Please, Mom.
40:08 Don't cry.
40:09 Don't cry.
40:10 I promise you, Terry Jr. is going to stay put, Mom.
40:14 All good, though?
40:17 All right, I'm just making sure to hold me straight.
40:20 And keep me posted.
40:22 All right.
40:23 Pops, you good?
40:27 Pops.
40:34 You know, this whole state was a house of bondage.
40:36 Even now, our brightest stars get treated
40:41 like studio session hands.
40:43 That's why they started Family Affair in the first place.
40:49 To try to let them our music.
40:52 To force the whole world to take notice.
40:54 I know how much that event meant to you, Pops.
41:00 And I'm sorry to turn out the way you wanted.
41:02 Son, if you knew what was going to happen,
41:04 why'd you go in the first place?
41:07 Because I had to take care of my family, Pops.
41:10 And it ain't going exactly how I wanted it to go.
41:13 Now you see why I need that roof over my head.
41:15 To be safe from all the shit we just dealt with.
41:17 Boy, you got to move back home.
41:20 Just hit the highway and head north.
41:22 Pops, you don't get it.
41:23 You're not getting it.
41:25 You left the house because you gave up on your dreams.
41:28 I left the house because I'm still chasing mine.
41:30 Me too.
41:31 I had no idea what I had to sacrifice.
41:32 Pops, I know everything you've given up,
41:34 because I've watched you my entire life.
41:37 Now listen, I know the world didn't exactly give you a choice.
41:41 But I have a choice, Pops.
41:44 And I know what you think of what I do.
41:48 And I know I didn't exactly turn out the way you wanted.
41:52 But I'm the first Flannery who can actually control their destiny.
41:56 And you know how badly I wanted that.
42:01 And how heavy that weight is.
42:03 Because when you were my age, you felt the same too.
42:06 Pops, I need you to sign that paper for me.
42:11 Please.
42:13 Got them keys for me, baby?
42:24 Here you go.
42:25 Thank you.
42:26 You're welcome.
42:27 Congratulations on your new home.
42:29 I'm sure you'll put it to good use.
42:31 Yes, we will.
42:33 Thank you.
42:34 Admit it, Pops.
42:37 You already think of all the renovations you could do.
42:39 No, I'm just admiring the craftsmanship.
42:43 You got everything you need.
42:46 It's my ride.
42:50 Hey, Pops, hold on.
42:51 I just want to let you know,
42:54 I'm going to take care of you and Mama just how you did your family.
42:59 I'm going to take care of you and Mama just how you did your family.
43:28 Yo, you've been hitting that white girl pretty hard.
43:30 Pull back.
43:32 You want to fucking talk?
43:33 Twan is pushing up Daisy.
43:36 I can fucking think about how it should have been me.
43:40 Listen, a cousin needs to forget his sorrows too.
43:45 Why don't you go over there and put those pretty little lips to work?
43:48 But if I wanted a dick, I'd go back to my boyfriend.
43:53 But if I wanted a dick, I'd go back to my boyfriend.
43:55 You're either a useful bitch or a dead one.
44:01 On your fucking knees.
44:21 I'm going to make this right.
44:22 Which is why I'm going to make this right.
44:25 Every motherfucker responsible for Twan's death
44:29 is going to find themselves on the wrong side of the dirt.
44:31 These motherfucking ball players and rappers got you all boosted up?
44:39 You know what, you a fine piece of ass and all that,
44:41 but I will cut your ass like some motherfucking grass.
44:44 And then what? You ain't shit without me.
44:46 Say it.
44:48 I ain't shit without you.
44:49 Say it again.
44:50 I ain't shit without you.
44:52 That's motherfucking right.
44:54 Don't you ever forget your place, alright?
44:55 I run the show, you hear me?
44:56 I run the motherfucking show.
44:57 What the fuck?
44:58 You fucking snake.
45:00 Stop, what y'all doing?
45:04 You fucking setting me up for it? You thought I wouldn't find you?
45:06 Me, please stop.
45:09 Your greasy ass don't deserve to clean my money.
45:14 I'm going to cut your fucking water off.
45:18 And you double cross me again,
45:19 I'm going to cut something else off too, bitch.
45:21 Bitch!
45:23 This fucking shit's staying man, why wait?
45:24 Oh, shit!
45:29 Oh, shit!
45:31 You think this shit is over, motherfucker?
45:38 Oh, you don't pay for this shit, you hear me?
45:40 You like bright, bitch?
45:42 Both of you.
45:45 [crying]
45:46 Oh my God, you scared me.
45:55 I didn't, I forgot you were coming back tonight.
45:58 You know I couldn't stay away too long.
46:00 Lucille, baby, what's wrong?
46:14 Somebody called Child Protective Services
46:16 and fraudulently claimed that Terry and LaWanda were unfit parents.
46:22 CPS could take everything, even the unborn baby, if they see fit.
46:27 They won't do that.
46:29 This is a government agency, they can do whatever the hell they want to do.
46:32 I'm going to bed.
46:37 I'm going to bed.

47:43 Stop. Hands on the table.
47:44 Kevin, you're going to be okay.

48:10 [door closes]
48:13 Look, I'll stay tonight, but I got to go back.
48:16 I know Greeny's not perfect, but he's right.
48:20 I ain't shit without him.
48:24 Man, the way you packed that club out night after night,
48:26 he ain't shit without you.
48:28 He protects and provides for me.
48:34 Angel, you have to start taking back your power.
48:37 My mom always taught me, a woman's worth is in her mind and her heart.
48:45 [soft music]
48:52 [sighs]
48:53 I got you, believe that.
48:55 You're safe here.
48:57 [soft music]
48:59 The real love it is, there ain't no sanctuary in the drug game.
49:10 That false sense of security can get you killed.
49:13 Lesson I had to learn the hard way.
49:15 And once I did, I didn't get a good night's rest
49:18 until I was sleeping in a jail cell.
49:21 [tires screeching]
49:22 [tires screeching]
49:24 So how's my little man, Cap, doing?
49:28 [sighs]
49:32 You got 90 seconds.
49:34 [chuckles]
49:37 Look, I figure you must be desperate to be rolling around with that crazy bitch, Henry.
49:41 It's always a job for a man willing to work.
49:44 Look, if you're going to be back in the streets again,
49:47 you might as well roll with the top dogs like you were with Meach.
49:50 Hm.
49:51 So what, this a job interview?
49:53 I understand you gotta do what you gotta do to protect your family.
49:56 But we can help each other out.
49:58 We can pool our resources together and fix both our problems.
50:01 Yeah, how we gonna fix it when you're my problem?
50:05 Look here, you and Meach are the ones who should be on the inside, not my son.
50:09 Come on, buddy, we're free.
50:12 And from the looks of it, the world is my fucking oyster.
50:15 So you either get on board or get ran the fuck over.
50:19 [sighs]
50:20 Hey!
50:27 I choose to get run the fuck over.
50:35 I stayed in the D because I couldn't bear the thought of losing the ones I cared about.
50:42 But sometimes you hold on to loved ones so close you push them away.
50:48 With my enemies coming from all angles, my sanctuary was becoming my nightmare.
50:52 And without my brother, the only one who could wake me out of it was me.
