00:24How you feeling?
00:25Living.
00:27Cain is all good because he knows I was the one that put that nigga down.
00:32You pull that trigger, you in it. People are talking. Pointing fingers.
00:35And I can't be held accountable for civilians exercising their God-given right to hit the fuck back.
00:40It's treason to the body.
00:42I'm sorry about Buck.
00:43Buck was a good guy. At least to me.
00:45Where are we?
00:46That's your new office, nigga.
00:47Just cause I got a life outside all you trifling ass motherfuckers doesn't mean I got secrets.
00:50I like what you like.
00:51I like you.
00:52I was thinking that maybe we should take it slow.
00:55Yeah.
00:57Fuck that noise.
00:59Might be the time to get your Reggie Jackson on.
01:01About to have the best night of your life, kid.
01:05Home run.
01:26I gotta take it.
01:27No need to say shit.
01:28I'm gonna take it.
01:29Marguerite's telling me homicide is nothing to play with.
01:33Make money, make, make, make money.
01:35When shit hit, the fam will take money.
01:37Southside.
01:38Be with the best of them.
01:39Don't shout at the rest of them.
01:40Yeah.
01:41Checks I'm collecting them.
01:42Check, boy, I'm finessing them.
01:43Big bags of bread.
01:44Boy, you fuck around with a big bag on your head for the weather break today.
01:48Let's get to it.
01:49They don't do it like we do it.
01:50Copping.
01:51Whipping.
01:52Bagging.
01:53Flipping.
01:54We up.
01:55We up.
01:56Geed up.
01:57What up?
01:58Running around this bitch still not giving a fuck.
01:59When it come to that paper, there'll be no complications.
02:03That's right.
02:04Put a hole in the nigga right in front of you.
02:06Your heartbeat pacing.
02:07And it's alright.
02:09That's how we do it on this side.
02:11Niggas get to it on this side.
02:13I know heartbreaks.
02:14Setbacks.
02:15Bitch, if I crap out, I'm sure I'ma get back.
02:18I've been through the ups and downs.
02:20You know I get around.
02:21So do me.
02:22It's all a part of the game.
02:23If I ain't the code man or the dog man, I'm almost a showman.
02:27I gotta take it.
02:28I don't need to say shit.
02:29I'm gonna take it.
02:30Apologies.
02:31Time homicide.
02:32There's nothing to play with.
02:44Let's get it.
02:45Let's get it.
02:47No shorts.
02:50No shorts.
02:52Copy, go.
02:54You think I'm bullshitting out here?
02:56This ain't no fucking office job.
02:59No two days the same.
03:02Just when you think you got your rhythm and routine all figured out,
03:05something fucks you all up.
03:13That's why there ain't no old heads on these corners.
03:16This young man's business.
03:19Gotta be fast on the streets.
03:20Gotta be sharp.
03:22And your head gotta be as quick as your feet.
03:29Jesus, man!
03:30Grab the wall!
03:31Grab the wall!
03:33This bitch bullshitting for us!
03:36Shut the fuck up, you fucking rookie cop!
03:47Fuck.
04:05The drug game same as the fight game.
04:08There's always someone coming for you.
04:10So you're always on your toes.
04:13Always throwing, stepping.
04:15Commanding that motherfucking rap.
04:46Fuck.
04:53Stick and move, baby.
04:55That's how we do.
04:57Stick and move.
05:16Fuck.
05:42I may still be in college but
05:44there's some shit you could be teaching, professor.
05:47I graduated college.
05:48Don't get in my mess.
05:49Yeah, you are.
05:56So it's like that?
05:58You just have your way with your girl then bounce?
06:03I got a type of a paper on the computer at the library.
06:06History of concrete.
06:08I love hearing that shit.
06:10Tell me about that concrete boy.
06:12Well, in 1824,
06:15Joseph Aston invented cement
06:16by burning finely ground chalk and clay
06:18until the carbon dioxide was removed.
06:21That's it?
06:22There is more to it
06:23but it gets a little technical and boring and shit.
06:26It gets more boring than this dude
06:27who was fucking with chalk and clay and carbon dioxide?
06:31It actually does.
06:34You know,
06:36I got one of those McIntosh joints
06:38collecting dust up in my office up in here.
06:40You got a computer?
06:42You think we still count on our fingers and toes
06:44out here on the south side?
06:47I don't know.
06:49You tell me.
07:10Yo.
07:35Yo, who are you?
07:38Hey, yo.
07:40Who are you? What are you doing?
07:42My bad, it's Canem, right?
07:44I'm sorry.
07:45Your mom said you were at school.
07:50I'm Symphony.
07:55Why are you in my house
07:56and why are you on my shit?
07:57My shit, you mean.
07:59And he don't gotta answer your questions
08:00because I got one for you
08:01and it's the only one that matters.
08:03Why are you still here?
08:04School started an hour ago.
08:07I needed some extra time.
08:08I need you to apologize to my friend Symphony here
08:10who I invited into my home.
08:12It's not necessary at all.
08:13I get it.
08:14I would have done the same thing
08:15if I saw some half-dressed fool
08:17sitting on my computer.
08:21Hurry up.
08:22I'm taking you to school.
08:39Listen, no kid wants to meet a dude
08:40who's with his mom
08:41half naked sitting on his Macintosh.
08:43You stick to concrete.
08:44I'll handle my son.
08:53So when you start letting dudes sleep over at the house?
08:55I'm an adult, Canem.
08:56You don't tell me
08:57who I can have sleep over at my house.
09:00I got a progress report yesterday.
09:02It says you slipping.
09:03Now you start messing up your grades,
09:05everything gonna change.
09:06Now you start messing up your grades,
09:07everything gonna change for you real fast.
09:10You a student first and foremost.
09:11That's all that matters.
09:12That is all I care about.
09:20I know you're sad about your friend.
09:23And I'm sorry.
09:24What happened to him was a tragedy,
09:26but the streets don't play, Canem.
09:28That's what I keep trying to tell you,
09:30but you don't want to hear me though.
09:33She didn't deal with this guy
09:34because he killed about 20.
09:35Let him say that.
09:37Let him talk.
09:38The target's off of your back now.
09:40Don't do nothing to put it back on.
09:45How about you and I go pay respects to D-Wiz's mom?
09:49It's important at times like this
09:50that she feels supported.
09:51We all gotta look out for each other.
09:58This is why I wanted you to go to Stuyvesant, Canem.
10:05Fuck Stuyvesant.
10:13Rolling corners does not move the needle,
10:15not here or at 1PP.
10:17Especially when you got two bodies,
10:18two juveniles, no less, and no suspects.
10:23Did you know that one of them,
10:25this, uh, yeah, this Derek D-Wiz Washington,
10:28he played for one of our basketball teams?
10:30Yeah, Conroy, over in traffic.
10:32Coached him for three years.
10:33Said he had a nice little jump shot on him.
10:36Well, no more jumpers for Derek.
10:39Like, his life, his basketball career is over,
10:41and we don't have a fucking clue who did it.
10:46Same with this other kid, this, uh...
10:47Tanya Worley.
10:49Buck 20.
10:50Jesus, these kids and their fucking names.
10:52Also, no suspects.
10:55And yet, this morning,
10:56you bring me the Macy's Day Parade of corner boys
10:58who basically come around long enough
10:59to get a soda and a Hershey bar,
11:00then head the fuck back out to the track?
11:03We need wins.
11:06Big wins.
11:08Dope on the table wins.
11:09Guns, shooters.
11:10We need something or someone we can show off.
11:14Put me in front of the cameras.
11:15Get me some good PR.
11:18Now, if you two can't do that,
11:21well, property crimes always has openings.
11:24They got this one, too, huh?
11:27In all our spots.
11:29And what about Nick's corners?
11:30Passed over.
11:31Them niggas out there getting that money.
11:33Our money.
11:34Laughing at our crews
11:35while we got rounded the fuck up.
11:38Nick making deals and selling us out.
11:42As long as we out in the open,
11:43they can touch us.
11:44Nick, MIPD.
11:46We got the money.
11:47We got the money.
11:48We got the money.
11:49We got the money.
11:50We got the money.
11:51Nick, MIPD.
11:53They know where we at.
11:54They know where to fuck with us.
11:55Move everything to the bodega, then.
11:57It's not ready yet.
11:58Still putting in cameras.
12:00And that's just a short-term answer
12:01for a long-term problem anyways.
12:04We need a bigger move.
12:06Some shit we can grow into.
12:08Yo, niggas bled and died from the corners.
12:09We can't just step away.
12:11Hey, listen, that's a bad look.
12:12But we not stepping away from shit.
12:14In fact, we need to get back out with quickness.
12:16Dust our shit off and get back to business.
12:18And Nick gonna take our regulars for good.
12:21We got it by vision, not sight.
12:24We always looking ahead.
12:26Azuma Dean heard about this morning.
12:29He ain't giving us no more work
12:30until you and him sit down.
12:32Yo, shit tight right now.
12:35We running on fumes.
12:36But we got enough to last us
12:37maybe another day at most.
12:41We lose the connect.
12:43We had something to miss, motherfucker.
12:46B-13, B-1-3.
12:52G-5-7-57-G.
13:00Azuma Dean tipping.
13:02But everyone called him Dean
13:03because niggas didn't have time
13:04for all that other shit.
13:06Dean had that Tijuana connect.
13:08Had business all over the country.
13:10But unlike most niggas in this spot,
13:12Dean kept his head down.
13:14Because the real kingpins,
13:16the ones making that long, long, long money,
13:18they ain't making noise.
13:19They just silent and violent.
13:22B-1. B as in bingo.
13:26One. B-1.
13:28Next is G. Another G.
13:31Not an altogether terrific morning for you.
13:34Any morning I see the sun come up
13:35is a good one, Dean.
13:37But the police are knocking on your door.
13:40It's not much of a reach to me.
13:42Just a regular old roll up.
13:43Nothing more, nothing less.
13:45Happens all the time.
13:46Police just letting us know they there,
13:47that's all.
13:49And yet, Unique's corners were untouched.
13:52Wasn't his day today.
13:54It will be soon enough.
13:56I supply both yours and Unique's operations.
13:59I won't get in the middle
14:00of any sort of disagreement between you.
14:03Who said me and Unique having a disagreement?
14:05We good.
14:07There's more than enough corners on the south side
14:08to go around.
14:10Bingo!
14:16I need you to turn the faucet back on.
14:20Sloppiness is the enemy of stealthiness.
14:22Nobody sloppy over here.
14:24Another morning like this
14:25we'll have to revisit our arrangement.
14:30Enjoy your day.
14:40I thought you moved to North Carolina
14:41to be with your peoples down there.
14:44South Carolina.
14:46That state ain't quite big enough yet.
14:47Least a year away.
14:49I think.
14:50Years a long time.
14:53Maybe you need to pick up some part-time work.
15:01Acute myeloblastic leukemia.
15:05Shit.
15:07You said it all when you said that.
15:09The treatment here is aggressive and immediate.
15:13Bone marrow transplant chemotherapy.
15:15The longer we wait,
15:16the more challenging your prognosis.
15:18We need to test your family members
15:20to see if there's a match.
15:22That's a short ass list.
15:24Both my parents are gone.
15:26All I got is some cousins in Alabama.
15:28Good. You should contact them.
15:30They don't like me.
15:32I'm sure they don't want you to die, Detective.
15:34We had a falling out over some family property.
15:36People's feelings got hurt.
15:37They ain't fucking with me.
15:39You need to understand that
15:40this is a life-threatening illness.
15:42Left untreated, it will kill you.
15:43You need to reach out to any family you have.
15:45I'll see what I can do.
15:47Again, I don't think you fully
15:49grasp the gravity of your situation.
15:51Let's see what these fucking bambas are talking about.
15:55Hey, at least I know it's not the smoking and drinking
15:58that's gonna kill me.
16:14I wanna see where you live.
16:16I wanna go to South Jamaica.
16:18Why?
16:20Because it's where you're from.
16:22It's a part of who you are.
16:24It's just where I live, Nicole.
16:26It's not who I am.
16:28Oh, shit.
16:30You're doing that?
16:32Hell no.
16:34You wanna be a singer?
16:36You're gonna sing.
16:44That's it.
16:46I got the prostate of a guy half my age.
16:48Look, I'm done waiting on you.
16:50I've been following your lead on all this shit
16:52because I'm new, and you're a veteran,
16:54and you act like you know what you're doing,
16:56but we got nothing.
16:58And now the captain is threatening our jobs,
17:00and I'm not gonna let you fuck up my shot.
17:02I'm not gonna let you fuck up my shot.
17:04I'm not gonna let you fuck up my shot.
17:06I'm not gonna let you fuck up my shot.
17:08I'm not gonna let you fuck up my shot.
17:10I'm not gonna let you fuck up my shot.
17:11I'm not gonna let you fuck up my shot.
17:17You don't belong here,
17:20in this car, with me.
17:23You know it, I know it,
17:25and so does every gangster hustling dope boy
17:27on the South Side.
17:29You were born into some cop family,
17:31but instead of being honest with them and yourself
17:33by being the fucking nurse you were supposed to be,
17:35you went into the family business.
17:37God, you're a fucking asshole.
17:39Every cop and criminal in this city
17:41fuck them how it holds it the fuck down.
17:43Motherfuckers respect me.
17:45They fear me.
17:49And the motherfucking reckon me.
17:54That's who I am.
17:59The question is,
18:02who the fuck are you?
18:12Choose your song.
18:15This ain't me, Nicole.
18:17Not at all.
18:19Hey, we haven't got all day here.
18:21I already paid.
18:23And I already chose a background.
18:25Now it's in the sky.
18:27Pick a song.
18:29Two Occasions.
18:31Good deal.
18:33The lyrics are there if you need them.
18:35I'm not gonna let you fuck up my shot.
18:37You know it, I know it,
18:39and so does every gangster hustling dope boy
18:41stand right in front of the screen.
18:43Don't move too much.
18:49The sunlight above is beautiful
18:52but it's not enough
18:54to satisfy the emotions
18:57that are shared between us.
19:00When a love is cozy
19:03but I need so much more
19:05it just intensifies my wants
19:08to have a love that endures.
19:11Ooh
19:14Cause every time I close my eyes
19:17I think of you.
19:20No matter what the season is
19:22I still love you
19:25with all of my heart
19:28and I wanna be with you
19:30wherever you are.
19:39That's day.
19:41That's day.
19:43And night.
19:45And night.
19:47I'd go fuck broke
19:49if I could be with you.
19:51Only you can make it right.
19:58Well, if it isn't my knight in shining armor.
20:02Who, me?
20:04Yes, you Marvin.
20:05I say knight in shining armor
20:08because last time we saw each other
20:11you kicked that guy's ass for groping me.
20:13Right, fuck that nigga.
20:15I'm a knight in shining fucking armor.
20:17You heard.
20:19You gonna tell me who your friend is
20:21or do I have to ask him myself?
20:23A dude owed me some money
20:25so he gave me this dog to cover his interest.
20:27Oh, he's so cute.
20:29What's his name?
20:31LT.
20:33Named him after the baddest linebacker
20:35because just like the real LT

20:51Are you sure you wanna give him to me?
20:53Yo, fuck I'm a dude.
20:55I don't know shit about dogs.
20:57Just make sure you keep his ass
20:59away from the microwave.
21:01You act like you're such a tough guy

23:40Everyone in the game.
23:42Yo, Zavita!
23:49Hey, what up?
23:51Whose house is this?
23:53It's nobody's.
23:55It's just a spot we kick it from time to time.
23:56It's like a little clubhouse or some shit.
23:59It had electricity and the water still on,
24:01so it's got some creature comforts.
24:04Like a damn crack house.
24:09You said you wanted to talk to me
24:11about something on the phone?
24:14I want you to tell me the truth, Keenan.
24:17And I'm not here to judge you or nothing.
24:20I live in this world.
24:22I know how it works.
24:24I just want to know
24:26the truth.
24:28Sounds serious.
24:31Did you know that D was shot, Buck?
24:33And like I said,
24:35I'm not here to get angry at you or anything.
24:39I...
24:41I just want to know the truth.
24:44I heard some shit.
24:46I don't necessarily believe it.
24:50Whoever it was that put D down,
24:52they got the wrong dude.
24:53Shit's fucked up.
24:55I'm sorry about what happened to him.
24:58I know he was your friend.
25:06What's up, Tanisha?
25:12How are things at the crib?
25:14You know, arms wide open.
25:17You know, arms wildin'.
25:22Y'all building a house?
25:24No, just selling it.
25:26Used to be my dad's drill.
25:28But them Pampers ain't free.
25:30So...
25:32I'll see you around, Keenan.
25:44I know that move down south is expensive.
25:46Especially when you got a wife.
25:48And a couple of girlfriends.
25:55Enough to move you, the wife,
25:57and at least one of them girlfriends down south.
26:01What's it cost me?
26:03Migs re-up.
26:05Where and when.
26:10Shit's beach money.
26:12Swear to God, if I listen close,
26:14I can hit that Carolina Ocean boy.
26:41Who called this one?
26:43Rip.
26:45When one of us makes a call, we all gotta answer.
26:48Yeah, that's this low life we live in, Jude.
27:11Come on.
27:42Who do you think you're touching, faggot?
27:44He's had enough, Rip.
27:46That's why you don't sign a bitch to do a nigga job.
27:48You ain't from where I'm from, Rip.
28:12They say life began out there,
28:14and we come from the water.
28:18I'm from the south side.
28:20Yeah, you are.
28:23I don't need stick taste, Detective.
28:25Better than yours, Rock Alp.
28:28I got something for you.
28:30Real weight.
28:32I'm not gonna lie,
28:34I'm not gonna lie to you.
28:36I'm not gonna lie to you.
28:38I'm not gonna lie to you.
28:39I'm not gonna lie to you.
28:41Real weight.
28:43Quarter million uncut.
28:45Nick's real.
28:48Or is Nick's meat so far down your throat
28:50you can't talk to me no more?
28:53Nah, I wanna know everything.
28:55But why you blessing me with this info?
28:57You police, right?
28:59You police.
29:01I'm reporting a crime.
29:04Do your fucking job, Detective.
29:06Small ass life, ain't it, Rock Alp?
29:10All your scheming and plotting,
29:12trying to get over while I do the same shit
29:14trying to get you not.
29:18Are we heading somewhere?
29:20Or just running in place?
29:23Because I can't call.
29:25I don't run.
29:36When love awaits, you can't escape
29:39the feelings that run deep inside your mind.
29:43Just let me inside of your heart.
29:46When love awaits, you can't escape
29:49the feelings that run deep inside your mind.
29:52Just let me come inside.
29:57That was dope.
29:59You think he'll need backup on the hook?
30:01Unless you wanna double him up.
30:03Can he handle harmony?
30:05I want you in one more time on the hook.
30:07Do you think you can back up your voice
30:09with a harmony or...
30:11I don't even know what the fuck that means, nigga.
30:14Never mind.
30:17Ice cream man's here.
30:22My brother.
30:24My guy.
30:27Crown.
30:29Camacho.
30:31Motherfucking Crown Camacho.
30:32Nigga, real name was Antoine Washington.
30:34But thought he'd get more love from these hoes
30:36if he was a part of rock.
30:38Crown, like a lot of music niggas,
30:40too soft for the street shit
30:42and can't do shit with no kind of ball.
30:44I can't lie.
30:46Nigga had talent for hip hop.
30:48But talent only get you so far.
30:50Jessica, figure it out.
30:54It's your first time coming through.
30:57Welcome to Bulletproof Records.
30:59We got hip hop.
31:00Y'all got everything you need
31:02to make a hit in here, huh?
31:04That's what we do.
31:06What you programming the drums with?
31:08SP-1200 or MP-60?
31:10SP-12.
31:13Next up.
31:15Yes, sir.
31:17So you know your way around this motherfucker.
31:19Yeah, my old man used to play the horn.
31:21Did some recording back in the day.
31:23Never turned into nothing,
31:25but he used to drive me to the studio with him.
31:27It was cool.
31:28That's why I stay up on him.
31:30Read magazines and whatnot.
31:32Oh, you got that New Leave Mike Preez in it.
31:34Yeah, he channels me, man.
31:36Mm-hmm.
31:38No, man, I don't know
31:40what magazines you've been reading,
31:42but you should get a subscription for Crown
31:44because he don't know jack shit about any of this stuff.
31:46I own all this shit, nigga.
31:48And that means I know everything.
31:51Yeah, sure, bro.
31:54Are you sure you don't want to get down?
31:56No.
31:58Has Lou told you
32:00that my little brother Famous is a rapper?
32:02Mm-hmm.
32:04Have you told him?
32:06It ain't come up.
32:08Famous is crazy talented.
32:10You got to hear him.
32:12I mean, he's dope as hell.
32:14Don't bring him by then.
32:16I'm all about talent, girl.
32:18Talent's my business.
32:20It's my lifeblood.
32:22Got the ears for it and the eyes for it.
32:25So just we out.
32:28Yeah, we just like that.
32:50Yo, what are you doing in Juke's room?
32:53Oh...
32:58I'm looking for my belt.
33:00Jukebox always taking my shit.
33:04What the fuck you doing in my house?
33:06I know I didn't leave these doors unlocked.
33:08Me and Juke share keys sometimes.
33:10No, no more you don't.
33:12This ain't a treehouse, nigga.
33:14Can't have heads climbing in and out whenever the fuck they want.
33:19Give me the keys.
33:21The keys, nigga.
33:27Goddamn.
33:30Look, I know mom's put me in a stash to keep me off the street, Uncle Mark.
33:35Sis said that's where you go, that's where you go.
33:38I need to make some real money, though.
33:40Something that ain't on the hourly.
33:42My mom ain't gonna tell her, just break me off some work.
33:46You're not ready.
33:48I was born ready.
33:51You help me, I'll help you with my mom's.
33:56I know she always on you.
33:58I put in the work to tell her she should trust you more,
34:01get you some more of that work,
34:03and you know she listens to me.
34:06Tell Rock she should have me grab her some more corners, then.
34:08You help me, I'll help you.
34:14Fuck it.
34:16What are you, 13?
34:1815.
34:20Shit, I was five years younger than you when I got out.
34:24Shit's left over from my get-together downtown.
34:27The one where you got in that fight?
34:30About eight grams there.
34:32A gram of powder going for 25 on the street, but since you family,
34:36I'd say you're all eight out of a hundred.
34:39Nah, I'm not buying, though. I'm selling.
34:42No shit, nigga. You're buying the shit wholesale from me
34:44so you can flip it into retail for your customers.
34:48That shit works.
34:51Look, man, I've already been stepped on kind of hard,
34:53so you can't stretch it no more.
34:55If you do it right, pay me back,
34:57you'll probably make about a hundred or so for your troubles.
35:03About to be a real doughboy, can't it?
35:05Congratulations, nigga.
35:11But this is between us.
35:14Rock can't know.
35:16Shit.
35:47What, Rock?
35:49My bad. I wasn't trying to scare you.
35:51I just was standing here for a minute waiting for you to look up, but...
35:58Could have been Kane's face on the front of this shit.
36:02Bad enough it was D.
36:06How many more black boys gonna die in these streets?
36:17I know you're not collecting cans,
36:19because I would kick Morphin's ass up and down the block
36:21if he got my niece out here going through the trash.
36:23It's just some clothes.
36:26If it's all right, I was actually going to leave him here for a little bit.
36:29My dad's always going through my shit.
36:31Look, my house is your house, baby.
36:33You used to live here. Remember that?
36:36We'd just curl up on the couch and talk all night.
36:41Been a minute since we had one of those talks.
36:44I'm missing my girl.
36:46I'm missing you, too.
36:49So, what's been keeping you from me?
36:53Who been taking up all your time?
36:57Oh, are you kicking it with somebody, Laverne Thomas?
37:02Oh, you got somebody.
37:06I know everything, girl.
37:08And I know exactly what that smile means.
37:11You in love.
37:13Look, don't be embarrassed.
37:15That's good. That was great.
37:20Please don't tell my dad.
37:22When he gets up in my business, it's...
37:24You really think I'm a dime you out to Morphin?
37:29I don't trust him with my business,
37:30so why would I ever trust him with my girls?
37:37I got somebody, too, you know.
37:40And he got me smiling just like you right now.
37:43Ear to ear.
37:47You and me, we deserve to smile, baby.
37:51Don't we deserve it?
37:54We do.
37:56Damn right we do.
38:02And we deserve to smile every once in a while.
38:14You didn't say much when we were eating.
38:16Because we was eating.
38:18You know what I mean.
38:20You barely said anything since we went to the studio
38:22and I was talking to your friend.
38:23Crown ain't my friend.
38:25He's a customer, an associate,
38:27and you was out there hustling.
38:30It's all good.
38:31We're just networking, Lou, that's it.
38:33You're gonna do what you're gonna do, right?
38:36You got nothing to worry about.
38:38I know.
38:40I know who you are.
38:43Maybe even better than you know yourself.
38:46How you figure?
38:48For example, I know that you could be doing
38:51what he's doing back there.
38:53That music thing.
38:56What, Crown doesn't know nothing you don't know?
38:58Crown Lightskin has been going to shit
39:00since we was in high school.
39:01DJed every party from Far Rockaway to Flushing.
39:04He knows his way around his music.
39:06Music is a product.
39:08No different than the product you saw on Around the Way.
39:12If you could sell red caps, you could sell hot tracks.
39:14Oh, you got flow now.
39:16You got all this potential, Lou.
39:19People like you.
39:21They want to know you.
39:24They want to get down with you.
39:28They shit with your sister a small time.
39:31You bigger than all that.
39:34How you know all this shit about me, Jess?
39:37You barely know me.
39:39I could be some regular old nigger
39:41that's just gonna spend the rest of his short life
39:43kicking up dirt on some grimy-ass corner on the South Side.
39:48Because I know talent when I see it.
39:52Because I know talent when I see it.
39:59And you...
40:01you're talented, baby.
40:03You're mad talented.
40:04Mad talented?
40:05Mm-hmm.
40:13I can't call in Tactical Narcotics
40:15if you can't tell me where this information is coming from.
40:18If it's bullshit, I'm gonna look like a clown.
40:22What do you think, new guy?
40:26I trust Detective Howard, sir.
40:29If he says he knows about the time and location
40:31of a major drug buy, I'm there with bells on.
40:37Not calling downtown on this.
40:39That'll get us too much attention.
40:43We'll use our guys.
40:45Get a team together.
40:49Your ass wouldn't know how to sell
40:51a fucking life jacket on the Titanic.
40:53Amy's gonna help me.
40:54Oh, blind leading the stupid.
40:57Suck a dick, Juke. I know the slang at Hustle.
41:00I don't mess with selling drugs
41:02because I'm making a point not to fuck with anything Marvin's into.
41:05So I'm only saying this shit once.
41:08Listen up close.
41:10You got random niggers, college kids,
41:14bum skis, and these skateboarding suckers.
41:17Now, best bet for you are these college fools.
41:19They white, they got money, and they like that powder.
41:23Walk around, real quiet, and tell them what's up.
41:26Say what you selling, but make it sloppy enough
41:28that it could sound like you're talking crazy shit to yourself.
41:38Famous.
41:40Famous.
41:42You paying attention? You listening?
41:44Yes.
41:46Yeah, that's how it was.
41:48But I'm about to go check these dudes out.
41:50What are you doing, man? We supposed to do this together.
41:52I'm good. You got it.
41:55Looks like we dolo.
41:58Famous ain't built for this shit anyway.
42:00This is the shit D-Wiz was always down for.
42:03No doubt.
42:05How much you charging?
42:07Marvin's saying $25 apiece.
42:10That's how much you be around the way.
42:12You selling to white people here.
42:14You gotta charge them white people prices.
42:16You could get 50 per piece out of these suckers, no question.
42:1950?
42:22Sure, I'm not trying to get crazy paid off.
42:25I just need to make a little bit.
42:27Whatever, man.
42:29Charge whatever the fuck you want to then.
42:31All I'm saying is these white fools pay extra for everything.
42:35That's how they are.
42:37I'm gonna go do my thing.
42:39I'm gonna do you.
42:41Don't fuck it up.
43:12The way you do, that thing you do.
43:16What a rush.
43:23Check it out, Symphony.
43:26You got me all laid up on the floor in here.
43:31I didn't know college dues was this fun.
43:34Shit, I might have signed up for that shit myself.
43:37You too small for college.
43:40You too small for me.
43:43I keep trying to figure out what all this is for you.
43:48What I am for you.
43:51I mean, I'm a fucking nerd that talks about concrete,
43:56Robert Moses, and the origins of the damn elevator.
44:00I like that you know things I don't know.
44:04You live a life I don't live.
44:11You're like a vacation for me.
44:14And when it comes to you, I love me some sightseeing, baby.
44:21But the better question is why you like me.
44:24That's what I want to know.
44:28You been through some shit.
44:30And that feels familiar to me.
44:33And it's not damage or pain or some bullshit like that.
44:38No, it's experience.
44:41It's strength.
44:44It's wisdom.
44:48It's also sexy as hell.
44:52Just as long as you're not trying to save me.
44:55Because I don't need to be saved.
45:06Man, I'm tight like this nigga's faded.
45:09I'm clean like my name Cascade.
45:11And my lyrics run through the hood like this nigga's aged.
45:15Come on now.
45:17Come on now.
45:18That's my fucking money.
45:21I know this stuff is stolen.
45:24You know what makes you think that, detective?
45:26The fact that I'm selling a brand-new polo stadium jacket out on my bag?
45:31Get the fuck out of here, white boy.
45:34I'm calling the police.
45:35Yeah, fuck you too, bitch-ass motherfucker.
45:40Hey, man, I got that coke.
45:42I got that blue and the powder.
45:45Yo, man, how much?
45:48Dude, come on, man.
45:49How much?
45:50Shit, I don't know.
45:52$30 a gram.
45:53For real?
45:54Look at him faking, nigga.
45:56I mean, that's just like a really good price.
45:58Well, shit, I guess today's your lucky day.
46:02All right, make it two for 50.
46:07Move it over there.
46:08Just give me the fucking money.
46:19And that's how it happens.
46:21Right there.
46:22You're wandering around, pushing up on niggas that don't want shit to do with you.
46:26And then all of a sudden, you make that first sale, you grab that first money, you did it.
46:32You're officially in the game.
46:34And I won't lie, this shit felt great.
46:37This shit felt right.
46:39So good.
46:50You gonna fuck up my grades.
46:52Well, you got an eight today, baby.
46:54No question.
46:57Look, I shouldn't have said anything to you about how to deal with Kanan the other day.
47:02He's your son, and...
47:04I shouldn't have snapped on you like I did.
47:10I had Kanan when I was 16.
47:13And when you're a baby with a baby, everybody's always weighing in.
47:18Telling you how to raise your kid, telling you all the things that you're doing wrong.
47:22It's always been Kanan and me versus everybody.
47:25And that's the way it's always gonna be.
47:28Ain't nobody ever gonna get between my son and me.
47:31I get it.
47:40I know you do.
47:48Nah, nah, bring that back.
47:50That's my shit.
47:53I'm all about Paul Abdul and that fine Egyptian ass of hers.
47:57Pull on that Nubian cradle of civilization original man type shit.
48:01Paul Abdul ain't no kind of Egyptian, nigga.
48:03Nah, she's a Jew.
48:05She from Cali.
48:07She's a Jew. She from Cali.
48:09Yo, fuck Paul Abdul. When they gonna be here?
48:12These people always circle the block four times before they get here.
48:16And then by two times, two more to go.
48:20Don't you do me.
48:24All I want from you is what you are.
48:29And even if you're right next to me, you're still too far away.
48:33Yo, shut the fuck up.
48:35Yeah.
49:00Can't have the fucking windows fogging up on a stakeout.
49:03Turn on the AC.
49:12It's the third time that car's driven by.
49:16Somebody's doing that recon before making the drop.
49:20Good looking out.
49:22Not bad for a nurse, huh?
49:34Ah.
49:47Hey.
49:49What's up?
49:51Thought maybe you and Senecia could use a few things.
49:54Yeah? You didn't have to do all that.
49:57Maybe now you can hold on to some of your dad's old tools and shit.
50:00You never know, you might need to hit my nail or something.
50:06Okay, man.
50:30Five-0! Five-0!
51:01Aah!
51:03Aah!
51:07Aah!
51:09Aah!
51:35Show us your hands!
51:38Get a bus. Get a fucking bus.
52:00We were wondering if we could spend some time with you and remember Derek together.
52:07Yeah, please.
52:16Your nigga's corner's dead.
52:21Your nigga ain't got shit to sell.
52:28First thing they tell you when you step in that ring is protect yourself at all times.
52:33Because nobody else is looking out for you.
52:36You in the hurt business.
52:38Nobody taking them punches but you.
52:41You gotta be smart.
52:43Aware.
53:04Fuck.
53:10These motherfuckers.
53:23Because it ain't always about being the biggest, strongest and fastest.
53:28Best fighters are the niggas who know how to counter.
53:33Take your shit and turn it back on you.
53:40See, in the ring, punches are nothing but questions.
53:46And the niggas holding their fists in the air at the end are the ones that got all the answers.
53:58And the niggas holding their fists in the air at the end are the ones that got all the answers.
54:28You.
54:34You.
54:40You.
54:48You.
54:53You.
54:58You.
55:03You.
55:08You.
