1
00:00:06,006 --> 00:00:07,424
Told you I had the deal lined up.
2
00:00:09,593 --> 00:00:11,136
That's my motherfucking watch.
3
00:00:11,220 --> 00:00:12,346
Strip this nigga.
4
00:00:12,429 --> 00:00:13,889
Bring me the motherfucking chain.
5
00:00:14,389 --> 00:00:15,724
You asked me to protect Lamar.
6
00:00:16,308 --> 00:00:18,310
I can't do that
if he doesn't know the truth.
7
00:00:18,393 --> 00:00:20,604
This conversation probably
should have happened a long time ago.
8
00:00:20,687 --> 00:00:22,606
You don't want me to
do music 'cause of Mom.
9
00:00:22,689 --> 00:00:25,859
I'm seeing on you right now the same thing
I saw in her the night we lost her.
10
00:00:25,943 --> 00:00:29,529
Maurice, I'm sorry, okay? Maurice. Stop!
11
00:00:29,613 --> 00:00:31,531
We're about to push
"Back to the Hood."
12
00:00:31,615 --> 00:00:34,076
Y'all pick your songs?
Who wanna make some extra cash?
13
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,703
Artillery, that's our song.
That's "Back to the Hood."
14
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,878
You right, cousin.
"Back to the Hood" is connecting.
15
00:00:48,632 --> 00:00:50,759
Smile, cuz. This is huge.
16
00:00:59,476 --> 00:01:00,727
Yo, what's good, LA?
17
00:01:00,811 --> 00:01:03,730
It's your boy, DJ Block,
and I got a special treat for you today.
18
00:01:03,814 --> 00:01:05,899
It's been almost a month
since I introduced you
19
00:01:05,983 --> 00:01:08,944
to the hottest sound in hip-hop,
and the band behind two hits,
20
00:01:09,027 --> 00:01:12,447
"Back to the Hood" and "Rydah,"
LA's own, Artillery.
21
00:01:14,157 --> 00:01:15,617
What up, LA?
22
00:01:15,701 --> 00:01:18,245
Now, "Back to the Hood" has
been out for a month and it's everywhere.
23
00:01:18,328 --> 00:01:20,330
I'm talking about every block,
every car wash,
24
00:01:20,414 --> 00:01:23,041
every beauty shop,
and every car rolling down the Shaw.
25
00:01:23,125 --> 00:01:24,751
That's the city talking back.
26
00:01:24,835 --> 00:01:26,169
When's the album coming?
27
00:01:26,253 --> 00:01:28,922
Soon. Just waiting
on new music from my producers.
28
00:01:35,887 --> 00:01:39,349
You can work
with anyone you want. Quik, Cash…
29
00:01:39,433 --> 00:01:40,892
You over here waiting on…
30
00:01:40,976 --> 00:01:43,854
Hey, I got to give
my little homey the chance.
31
00:01:43,937 --> 00:01:46,648
Okay, well, tell
your producer the whole city is pumped
32
00:01:46,732 --> 00:01:47,774
for that new album.
33
00:01:47,858 --> 00:01:49,526
The pressure's on.
34
00:01:50,152 --> 00:01:52,279
It's been a wild ride, homeboy.
35
00:01:52,362 --> 00:01:54,990
Look at these phone lines, man.
They're going crazy.
36
00:01:55,073 --> 00:01:56,533
Let's take one.
37
00:01:56,616 --> 00:01:58,994
Hey, yeah, what up, Art?
With your slob ass.
38
00:01:59,077 --> 00:02:00,996
You know me, T-Lane, One Eight Crip.
39
00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:04,958
All that banging you been doing on tape?
Nigga, we own you with your market.
40
00:02:06,168 --> 00:02:08,045
Can't really talk like that
on the air.
41
00:02:08,128 --> 00:02:10,088
All right, just… Next caller, Terry.
42
00:02:10,172 --> 00:02:12,341
Hi, my name is Gina
from Inglewood.
43
00:02:12,424 --> 00:02:14,760
And I just wanna say, Artillery, you fine…
44
00:02:34,488 --> 00:02:37,783
Upsurge in Los Angeles
for rock cocaine or crack.
45
00:02:37,866 --> 00:02:40,243
Discussing the jump
in violent crime in Los Angeles…
46
00:02:40,327 --> 00:02:44,998
…warehouse shooting that claimed over
eight lives including Jerome Saint,
47
00:02:45,082 --> 00:02:49,961
former owner of the popular Inglewood
electronic store, Jammin' Jerome's.
48
00:02:50,045 --> 00:02:52,506
Officer Gregory Blackman
was laid to rest yesterday.
49
00:02:52,589 --> 00:02:55,509
Mayor Bradley was in attendance
among hundreds of mourners
50
00:02:55,592 --> 00:02:57,636
and held a press conference
later that evening.

Franklin Saint

53
00:03:02,599 --> 00:03:05,435
recanted her testimony
and later went missing.

00:03:05,519 --> 00:03:07,396
Already plagued
by drugs and poverty,

00:03:07,479 --> 00:03:10,315
the neighborhood is now the site
of another seemingly random shooting.
56
00:03:10,399 --> 00:03:14,069

cocaine crazy on the keyboards.

That's good, right?
110
00:06:41,192 --> 00:06:43,445
Shit, it'd be better
if you told them people to pay me.
111
00:06:43,528 --> 00:06:45,030

When you gonna admit this is more
than just a one-off hustle?
118
00:07:01,963 --> 00:07:05,383
It ain't a one-off,
but it's your hustle, not mine.
119
00:07:05,467 --> 00:07:07,802
You know, it was your play
that moved all them units.
120
00:07:09,054 --> 00:07:13,141
Lee, running a clinic ain't your future,
so just…
121
00:07:26,946 --> 00:07:29,783
First, I just want to say
it feels good to be back.
122
00:07:29,866 --> 00:07:31,993
Okay, we all know why we're here.
123
00:07:32,077 --> 00:07:35,163
"Back to the Hood" has picked up
a lot of spins in the last few weeks,
124
00:07:35,246 --> 00:07:37,415
- and it turns out to be a real hit.
- Mmm.
125
00:07:37,499 --> 00:07:42,504
So, we've ordered 250,000 copies
with "Rydah" on the B-side.
126
00:07:44,130 --> 00:07:45,632
250,000.
127
00:07:45,715 --> 00:07:47,884
Cali heat means
we'll expand to sister markets.

00:07:47,967 --> 00:07:51,304
That's Houston, Detroit, Kansas City.
And now the big news…
129

They're giving us an album, motherfuckers.

00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:54,974

131
00:07:55,058 --> 00:07:58,061

but Darryl will decide how much.

- What do you mean?
- Wait, producers?
134
00:08:03,024 --> 00:08:05,193
- Lamar did the music for this.
- No way. That's me.
135
00:08:05,276 --> 00:08:10,198
You are a producer and a gifted one,
but you're also fucking green.

then what we do is we have
both of them come in here…

Let me ask you something.
157
00:09:43,416 --> 00:09:45,376
What the fuck we gotta do
to get this fucking advance?
158
00:09:45,460 --> 00:09:47,378
Artillery is out here exposed.

to what?
163
00:09:58,556 --> 00:09:59,641

164
00:09:59,724 --> 00:10:02,936

171
00:10:34,300 --> 00:10:38,346
Look, y'all might have got
the drop on me, but I ain't afraid to die.
172
00:10:40,223 --> 00:10:41,307
Respect.
173
00:10:41,391 --> 00:10:43,309
What happened to strangling that bitch, D?
174
00:10:45,061 --> 00:10:48,857
DG, look,
I think that I can solve this problem.
175
00:10:50,024 --> 00:10:52,402
Let me explain to you guys how this works.
176
00:10:52,485 --> 00:10:57,615
Now, we can advance you a stipend
until the record starts to earn.
177
00:10:58,158 --> 00:11:00,910
What do you say we start you off at…
178
00:11:01,953 --> 00:11:03,997
- $2,000 a month?
- Ten.
179
00:11:04,622 --> 00:11:06,583
- Three.
- Eight.
180
00:11:07,876 --> 00:11:08,960
No.
181
00:11:15,466 --> 00:11:16,676
Come on.
182
00:11:37,989 --> 00:11:39,991
You paid them $3,000,
183
00:11:40,992 --> 00:11:43,077
and the motherfuckers
didn't even have a gun.
184
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,623
- Paid?
- How was that dope move, Vance?
185
00:11:46,706 --> 00:11:50,001
Paid who? The word was "advance."
186
00:11:50,084 --> 00:11:52,712
Darryl, we just lent them
their own money with interest,
187
00:11:52,795 --> 00:11:54,255
and they think they won.
188
00:11:54,339 --> 00:11:58,009
Now we keep doing this,
and we will train them to come to us.
189
00:11:58,092 --> 00:12:00,178
So even when their record is in the black,
190
00:12:00,261 --> 00:12:03,640
between the weed and the Hennessy
and the strippers, whatever,
191
00:12:03,723 --> 00:12:05,892
they will owe us so much money
192
00:12:05,975 --> 00:12:08,686
that they will have to keep
borrowing money from us
193
00:12:08,770 --> 00:12:11,439
with interest on top of interest.
194
00:12:12,774 --> 00:12:14,317
God, I love this game.
195
00:12:14,943 --> 00:12:16,611
Now that's pimping 101.
196
00:12:17,362 --> 00:12:18,488
Um,
197
00:12:19,239 --> 00:12:22,575
that, uh, thing that I saw on his wrist?
198
00:12:23,493 --> 00:12:27,121
You guys may want to have
a private conversation about that.
199
00:12:29,832 --> 00:12:31,751
The way that motherfucker got my watch.
200
00:12:33,336 --> 00:12:36,172
Keith is wearing it so much
he forgot it ain't his.
201
00:12:36,839 --> 00:12:38,132
Mm-hmm.
202
00:12:38,216 --> 00:12:39,467
Get it back, D.
203
00:12:49,519 --> 00:12:51,145
Now, step out on this side.
204
00:12:51,229 --> 00:12:53,064
Jenny, the album is already in motion.
205
00:12:53,147 --> 00:12:55,900
- We need to be on the same page.
- Yeah, I agree.
206
00:12:55,984 --> 00:12:58,486
You know, yesterday,
when your cousin spoke up,
207
00:12:58,569 --> 00:13:00,154
I had, like, acid flashbacks
208
00:13:00,238 --> 00:13:02,407
of him furiously
trying to rat-fuck us on the masters.
209
00:13:02,490 --> 00:13:04,450
That's why you need to prop me up
in those meetings.
210
00:13:04,534 --> 00:13:06,369
I'd have more juice
to help manage all this.
211
00:13:06,452 --> 00:13:08,746
Okay. Easy, killer.
212
00:13:09,330 --> 00:13:11,541
Let's unpack
before we climb the ladder, huh?
213
00:13:14,752 --> 00:13:16,045
I can see two things.
214
00:13:16,546 --> 00:13:20,091
One, we are going to make
some real money with this rap shit.
215
00:13:20,174 --> 00:13:23,469
And two,
my experience with bat-eating rock stars
216
00:13:23,553 --> 00:13:27,348
isn't going to translate with,
like, you guys.
217
00:13:27,432 --> 00:13:28,474
You can say "Black."
218
00:13:28,558 --> 00:13:31,894
Okay, but it's a specific kind
of Blacks, okay?
219
00:13:31,978 --> 00:13:33,521
Because Disco Blacks, that's easy.
220
00:13:33,604 --> 00:13:36,524
You give them a bump of cocaine and
they'll happily sell a million records.
221
00:13:36,607 --> 00:13:39,235
But apparently Street Blacks
like Darryl are so fucking macho,
222
00:13:39,319 --> 00:13:41,237
he's furious I overtalked him
at the meeting.
223
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:42,655
He's a star where we're from.
224
00:13:42,739 --> 00:13:45,700
Having a hit bought us half a hot minute.
225
00:13:45,783 --> 00:13:47,160
That doesn't make any sense.
226
00:13:47,243 --> 00:13:50,246
Look, just because of you, I kept my job,
227
00:13:50,329 --> 00:13:52,373
and I think that deserves a reward.
228
00:13:52,457 --> 00:13:53,458
Like what?
229
00:13:55,043 --> 00:13:58,129
We are the only two women
in this whole boat, okay?
230
00:13:58,212 --> 00:14:00,923
Aside from the mean girl
with the sexy eyes.
231
00:14:01,507 --> 00:14:04,594
I don't trust Darryl any more
than I trust my own dad.
232
00:14:04,677 --> 00:14:07,180
But you… I know you're essential.
233
00:14:07,263 --> 00:14:08,514
I would tend to agree.
234
00:14:08,598 --> 00:14:11,434
I need you, Wanda. Eyes and ears.
235
00:14:12,185 --> 00:14:15,480
Look, we could figure out
a compensation package on the side,
236
00:14:15,563 --> 00:14:16,814
as long as you back me.
237
00:14:16,898 --> 00:14:18,524
Lamar comes first.
238
00:14:18,608 --> 00:14:19,942
You come first to him?
239
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:22,028
Yep.
240
00:14:23,821 --> 00:14:26,324
- Whose album do you think this is?
- Both of them.
241
00:14:26,407 --> 00:14:31,370
This is Artillery's album, which means
I need a list of experienced producers.
242
00:14:31,454 --> 00:14:34,707
You want me to give you control
over the album, even over DG, right?
243
00:14:34,791 --> 00:14:37,335
- Not like you're saying.
- It's exactly like I'm saying.
244
00:14:37,418 --> 00:14:40,463
Listen, you serve the label,
the label serves Lamar.
245
00:14:40,546 --> 00:14:43,174
You serve the artist,
who the fuck's he gonna serve?
246
00:14:45,426 --> 00:14:50,890
Look, I want you to think about you, okay?
Think about your road to this moment.
247
00:14:50,973 --> 00:14:54,644
Lamar might not be up for this,
but you don't have to go down with him.
248
00:14:56,521 --> 00:14:57,647
I don't know about you,
249
00:14:57,730 --> 00:15:00,316
but I'm not banking my entire career
on your baby cousin.
250
00:15:02,318 --> 00:15:03,945
I'm trying to tell you, Lee.
251
00:15:04,028 --> 00:15:06,864
You ain't in LA
unless you courtside at the Lakers.
252
00:15:06,948 --> 00:15:09,408
So what's up man?
What did you want to talk about?
253
00:15:15,957 --> 00:15:17,375
Goddamn.
254
00:15:17,458 --> 00:15:18,918
It's the money
from the swap meet.
255
00:15:19,460 --> 00:15:20,461
You giving it back?
256
00:15:21,337 --> 00:15:22,338
You earned it.
257
00:15:22,421 --> 00:15:24,799
You took it. It's yours.
258
00:15:25,883 --> 00:15:27,677
Just looking for the strings, Lee.
259
00:15:30,638 --> 00:15:33,349
Hey, shit, I like bags.
Let me hold that motherfucker.
260
00:15:34,475 --> 00:15:35,726
So you got to tell me, man.
261
00:15:36,394 --> 00:15:38,813
How do you help Wanda
move so much product so fast?
262
00:15:38,896 --> 00:15:43,109
I mean, if you put this into a plan
and repeated it nationwide, nigga…
263
00:15:43,192 --> 00:15:44,777
I got all kinds of secrets.
264
00:15:44,861 --> 00:15:47,530
Come on, man. No marketing, no label.
265
00:15:48,281 --> 00:15:49,448
Lace me, man.
266
00:15:50,616 --> 00:15:53,828
Look, I tell you what,
I'll look at your books,
267
00:15:53,911 --> 00:15:56,998
check out a few contracts,
get a sense of how you run your business.
268
00:15:57,081 --> 00:15:58,207
Right.
269
00:15:58,708 --> 00:16:00,293
My new girls will fax you.
270
00:16:01,210 --> 00:16:02,837
You got a knack for this shit, Lee.
271
00:16:03,462 --> 00:16:05,882
What, you over there
making a play?
272
00:16:05,965 --> 00:16:08,092
Clinic is keeping me plenty busy.
273
00:16:08,176 --> 00:16:10,511
Yeah, nah,
it's probably smart you stay out.
274
00:16:11,095 --> 00:16:12,638
You know, plus your ex.
275
00:16:13,222 --> 00:16:15,725
Nigga, as for me, man,
276
00:16:15,808 --> 00:16:18,561
I'm breaking artists
about to be bigger than N.W.A.
277
00:16:19,061 --> 00:16:23,274
Who?
Lamar and that hobo ass Blood?
278
00:16:23,357 --> 00:16:24,984
They too much alike.
279
00:16:25,067 --> 00:16:27,153
They on their higher calling bullshit.
280
00:16:27,236 --> 00:16:30,281
Nigga. What you know about my artists?
281
00:16:30,364 --> 00:16:31,741
He work for you?
282
00:16:32,909 --> 00:16:35,912
Hey, sure you don't wanna let me
hold this bag right here?
283
00:16:35,995 --> 00:16:36,996
No.
284
00:16:38,497 --> 00:16:43,169
I guess Leon'll let me know
when he can pulls those strings, huh?
285
00:16:44,086 --> 00:16:46,297
Man, roll the dice.
286
00:16:46,380 --> 00:16:48,925
All right. All right. All right.
All right. I got it. I got it.
287
00:16:52,386 --> 00:16:54,222
Come on, you got Art waiting.
288
00:16:56,390 --> 00:16:57,850
Let's just get in there and riff.
289
00:16:58,392 --> 00:16:59,852
I don't work like that.
290
00:17:01,562 --> 00:17:04,398
If I don't figure something out
by this Friday with this album, dude…
291
00:17:05,524 --> 00:17:06,651
So you're panicking?
292
00:17:08,486 --> 00:17:11,072
Art. Art. Artillery.
293
00:17:12,031 --> 00:17:15,034
- Artillery. What's up, man?
- I'm looking for you.
294
00:17:15,534 --> 00:17:17,078
Uh…
295
00:17:17,787 --> 00:17:21,082
- So, what-what Jenny said, right…
- Fuck Jenny, she's white.
296
00:17:21,999 --> 00:17:27,129
Right, um, but-but you wouldn't do
the album without me, though, right?
297
00:17:27,213 --> 00:17:30,800
Like-Like, you would say that
if they tried to add more people?
298
00:17:30,883 --> 00:17:34,512
I don't understand you.
Last month we split the atom.
299
00:17:35,346 --> 00:17:38,558
This nigga over here
stressing about some bullshit. Let's go.
300
00:17:41,644 --> 00:17:42,937
Relax, Mar.
301
00:17:44,272 --> 00:17:46,774
Yeah. Let's go. I'm ready.
302
00:17:49,110 --> 00:17:52,613
All right, y'all, my producer's fixing
to breathe some fire in this bitch.
303
00:17:52,697 --> 00:17:53,864
Come on, hit it. Let's go.
304
00:17:55,825 --> 00:17:59,620
Uh, yo, you think you could just
ask them to leave
305
00:17:59,704 --> 00:18:01,330
so we can work on this in private?
306
00:18:02,873 --> 00:18:04,166
This is how you work.
307
00:18:04,667 --> 00:18:06,335
If the hood don't feel it, it ain't felt.
308
00:18:06,919 --> 00:18:07,920
Can you play a beat?
309
00:18:08,879 --> 00:18:09,922
All right.
310
00:18:21,851 --> 00:18:23,811
No, yeah, play another one.
That shit whack.
311
00:18:29,358 --> 00:18:31,027
Well, that ain't it.
312
00:18:33,988 --> 00:18:35,990
Hey, ladies,
what y'all think about the beat?
313
00:18:36,741 --> 00:18:38,075
No.
314
00:18:40,578 --> 00:18:43,122
No, that's trash.
I don't like that either. Try again.
315
00:18:43,205 --> 00:18:44,832
That's whack, too. Hell no.
316
00:18:44,915 --> 00:18:46,584
Play some hard shit.
Where the Blood shit at?
317
00:18:46,667 --> 00:18:48,210
That beat sound too light-skinned.
318
00:18:48,294 --> 00:18:51,380
Play some gangster shit, nigga.
You been kicking with them Crips too long.
319
00:19:00,890 --> 00:19:04,685
♪ You feel too good to be true ♪
320
00:19:04,769 --> 00:19:07,188
- Who the fuck are you?
- The producer for "Rydah."
321
00:19:10,941 --> 00:19:13,319
You ain't got no goddamn
business in the rap game.
322
00:19:24,330 --> 00:19:27,333
Hey, you know you're gonna
have to start from scratch, right?
323
00:19:29,752 --> 00:19:32,421
Here, see what this do for you. Look.
324
00:19:36,342 --> 00:19:39,637
"Exit Wounds."
Shit sounds kind of dope, huh?
325
00:19:42,348 --> 00:19:44,934
I feel like that shit represent
all the gangbangers
326
00:19:45,017 --> 00:19:46,394
that got out the hood, you know?
327
00:19:47,019 --> 00:19:49,230
I didn't know
that that's what you wanted to do.
328
00:19:49,313 --> 00:19:51,524
Okay. Now you do.
329
00:19:52,483 --> 00:19:53,484
Right.
330
00:19:54,318 --> 00:19:55,820
Oh, yeah, right. I-I feel that.
331
00:19:56,612 --> 00:19:58,656
And……I'm in this place too.
332
00:19:58,739 --> 00:20:02,076
It's powerful.
It's fucking me up, if I'm being honest.
333
00:20:05,037 --> 00:20:07,289
I feel like it has to be about my mom.
334
00:20:08,124 --> 00:20:10,126
The fuck your mama got to do with this?
335
00:20:10,209 --> 00:20:13,462
No, she was, um, a singer,
but she was… she was always…
336
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:16,215
controlled.
337
00:20:18,217 --> 00:20:21,554
It's gotta…
It's gotta have her spirit. You know?
338
00:20:22,430 --> 00:20:24,682
I'm doing a really bad job
at explaining this right now.
339
00:20:24,765 --> 00:20:26,684
Look, man, the-the label loves you.
340
00:20:27,518 --> 00:20:28,853
Just buy me some time.
341
00:20:28,936 --> 00:20:31,939
Buy me a little bit of time
to figure out the music side…
342
00:20:32,982 --> 00:20:34,442
…and I can tell you what we need to do.
343
00:20:35,025 --> 00:20:36,026
Hold on.
344
00:20:36,902 --> 00:20:39,447
You can tell me? Like it's your album?
345
00:20:40,030 --> 00:20:41,741
I didn't mean it like that.
346
00:20:41,824 --> 00:20:43,242
What you mean then, nigga?
347
00:20:44,243 --> 00:20:45,911
It's my sound.
348
00:20:46,829 --> 00:20:49,790
You-You didn't even wanna listen
to……"Back to the Hood"
349
00:20:49,874 --> 00:20:51,709
when I tried to play it for you.
350
00:20:52,293 --> 00:20:54,837
I was in them apartments
running from crash.
351
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,922
Cops trying to kill me,
whole hood, nigga…
352
00:20:57,006 --> 00:20:58,674
No, I'm sick and tired
of people always acting
353
00:20:58,758 --> 00:21:00,593
like cops and murder
is the only stress there is.
354
00:21:01,469 --> 00:21:04,764
Oh, I don't live up
to some insane level of Blackness
355
00:21:04,847 --> 00:21:06,849
because I've never survived a gun battle?
356
00:21:06,932 --> 00:21:08,601
Nigga, my mom is a photograph.
357
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,441
How many gunshot wounds add up
to your missing mommy, Lamar?
358
00:21:16,275 --> 00:21:17,735
'Cause I got more.
359
00:21:18,819 --> 00:21:20,321
You know what I don't got, homeboy?
360
00:21:20,905 --> 00:21:22,072
A picture of my mom.
361
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:25,201
Nigga, move.
362
00:21:26,869 --> 00:21:29,288
You see your name anywhere on here, nigga?
363
00:21:29,371 --> 00:21:31,791
Where your name at?
I don't see that shit, nigga.
364
00:21:31,874 --> 00:21:32,958
You can't rap.
365
00:21:33,751 --> 00:21:35,753
And as of right now, nigga,
you can't produce either.
366
00:21:35,836 --> 00:21:37,046
All that shit is wack!
367
00:21:40,591 --> 00:21:41,842
Fuck you.
368
00:21:48,474 --> 00:21:49,725
Got a meeting with Leon.
369
00:21:51,519 --> 00:21:52,520
You sure?
370
00:21:57,024 --> 00:21:58,108
Definitely.
371
00:22:01,654 --> 00:22:03,447
I asked about you
when you was in the streets.
372
00:22:03,531 --> 00:22:05,407
Your file A-1.
373
00:22:06,951 --> 00:22:08,202
For better or for worse.
374
00:22:08,285 --> 00:22:09,370
That's real.
375
00:22:10,496 --> 00:22:13,040
But you got down
'cause they took out your homeboy.
376
00:22:13,123 --> 00:22:14,124
That's family.
377
00:22:15,543 --> 00:22:18,796
And your real family over here
with DG and a bunch of Bloods.
378
00:22:18,879 --> 00:22:21,006
My crazy-ass ex ain't enough.
379
00:22:21,674 --> 00:22:23,592
I was hoping
him getting socked in the face
380
00:22:23,676 --> 00:22:25,135
would help him grow up a little bit.
381
00:22:25,219 --> 00:22:28,264
Ain't your whole deal with Mr. Kinsey
is that he wants you to step up for him?
382
00:22:30,641 --> 00:22:32,977
What you think
I beat Trig's punk ass up for?
383
00:22:36,313 --> 00:22:37,606
Fucked him up.
384
00:22:37,690 --> 00:22:40,025
True. That's true.
385
00:22:40,943 --> 00:22:43,737
What's up, Lee? What's this all about?
386
00:22:45,114 --> 00:22:46,115
Hey, check this out.
387
00:22:47,116 --> 00:22:49,618
People have been asking me
to jump in the music game,
388
00:22:50,452 --> 00:22:53,080
but I hate looking at the same old faces
from the streets.
389
00:22:53,664 --> 00:22:56,000
It make legit money feel dirty
even when it ain't.
390
00:22:56,750 --> 00:22:59,461
And unfortunately, your family in
the same room with these dirty faces.
391
00:22:59,545 --> 00:23:01,547
I got ahold of DG's contracts,
392
00:23:01,630 --> 00:23:04,258
and they're harder to read
than Chinese arithmetic.
393
00:23:06,844 --> 00:23:08,846
When they was out there
slanging them tapes,
394
00:23:09,555 --> 00:23:12,766
I gave DG that money
'cause I wanted to see his reaction.
395
00:23:12,850 --> 00:23:14,852
Money's like crack
to motherfuckers like him.
396
00:23:14,935 --> 00:23:16,353
Exactly.
397
00:23:16,437 --> 00:23:19,356
When he saw that bag,
he was just trying to play it cool,
398
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,901
but for him to straight up
ask me how we did it,
399
00:23:21,984 --> 00:23:23,944
that lets me know what we did is valuable.
400
00:23:24,570 --> 00:23:25,571
Yeah.
401
00:23:26,447 --> 00:23:28,908
We can't let Lamar
and Wanda be in there solo.
402
00:23:34,288 --> 00:23:35,289
All right.
403
00:23:36,582 --> 00:23:37,708
I think I get you.
404
00:23:38,667 --> 00:23:39,835
Like I said,
405
00:23:41,003 --> 00:23:43,130
I need to keep up
on that little nigga anyways.
406
00:23:44,256 --> 00:23:46,133
Might as well keep up
on everything else too.
407
00:23:58,646 --> 00:24:00,731
♪ I've been bad ♪
408
00:24:02,524 --> 00:24:04,193

409
00:24:06,111 --> 00:24:07,905

00:24:07,988 --> 00:24:11,492

412
00:24:15,204 --> 00:24:16,956
- What the fuck?
- Wanda, Wanda,
413
00:24:17,039 --> 00:24:18,999
- Wanda, Wanda, we gotta talk.
- I see that.
414
00:24:19,083 --> 00:24:21,251
I completely figured out
exactly what the album is gonna be.
415
00:24:21,335 --> 00:24:23,504
- Lamar, I'm not fucking…
- It's gonna do fucking amazing.
416
00:24:23,587 --> 00:24:24,755
Turn that off!
417
00:24:24,838 --> 00:24:26,215
I need more time.
418
00:24:26,924 --> 00:24:28,842
Slow down and fix this.
419
00:24:28,926 --> 00:24:31,512
I've been here 24-7, every day, locked in,
420
00:24:31,595 --> 00:24:33,639
trying to figure out this album,
and everybody hates me.
421
00:24:33,722 --> 00:24:35,599
Goddamn it, Lamar. I heard what happened.
422
00:24:35,683 --> 00:24:38,227
You need to learn to trust your people.
423
00:24:40,270 --> 00:24:41,271
You…
424
00:24:42,815 --> 00:24:45,567
You think I could do this?
You think I could pull this off?
425
00:24:46,902 --> 00:24:49,530
Yes? But not alone.
426
00:24:49,613 --> 00:24:53,575
Having experienced producers
to back you up might not be a bad idea.
427
00:24:53,659 --> 00:24:59,999
Wanda, you, James, Leon,
you have names in the streets.
428
00:25:00,082 --> 00:25:01,875
Shit, you can have mine.
429
00:25:01,959 --> 00:25:03,752
No, you don't get it, Wanda.
430
00:25:03,836 --> 00:25:07,506
Androids like DG and Jenny,
they don't give a fuck about art.
431
00:25:07,589 --> 00:25:08,716
All they see is packaging.
432
00:25:08,799 --> 00:25:12,261
I didn't come to them as-as J Loco
433
00:25:12,344 --> 00:25:16,098
or-or Easy E or Big Deon or Artillery.
434
00:25:16,849 --> 00:25:18,183
I came as fucking Lamar.
435
00:25:18,267 --> 00:25:20,561
Lamar, this is what the fuck
it feels like making a name,
436
00:25:20,644 --> 00:25:23,355
so step the fuck up
and stop shrinking, nigga.
437
00:25:37,995 --> 00:25:40,372
You know, I was thinking
about what you said the other day.
438
00:25:40,456 --> 00:25:43,625
That shit was kinda deep.
About never seeing your son again.
439
00:25:45,586 --> 00:25:46,712
What was that about?
440
00:25:48,047 --> 00:25:49,298
That's the deal.
441
00:25:50,883 --> 00:25:53,844
But you've been slowing down for years.
Why not just hang up the rag?
442
00:25:53,927 --> 00:25:54,928
No.
443
00:25:55,429 --> 00:26:00,142
It's two dudes I gotta kill first,
then I'm moving to Oakland.
444
00:26:00,225 --> 00:26:03,145
So, what's that?
The jacker that killed your brother and…
445
00:26:03,228 --> 00:26:04,229
Who makes number two?
446
00:26:04,313 --> 00:26:06,982
Man, there's some bitch ass nigga
over in the Gates who…
447
00:26:07,775 --> 00:26:11,028
used to beat the shit out of his daughter
every time the bus dropped her off.
448
00:26:11,570 --> 00:26:12,905
That motherfucker gotta go.
449
00:26:14,823 --> 00:26:17,534
And, shit, if you want,
we get ole boy who choked you.
450
00:26:17,618 --> 00:26:20,162
But you know that motherfucker owes us
some money, though.
451
00:26:23,791 --> 00:26:26,418
Hopefully,
this rap shit comes together.
452
00:26:26,502 --> 00:26:27,503
True that.
453
00:26:27,586 --> 00:26:30,839
Man, ain't not one of us is getting out.
What y'all talking about?
454
00:26:30,923 --> 00:26:32,216
Stop.
455
00:26:32,299 --> 00:26:35,511
Dara, you a manager
that babysit gang members.
456
00:26:36,261 --> 00:26:38,514
I'm a Blood, and I don't even bang.
457
00:26:39,681 --> 00:26:42,184
Lamar a producer,
and that nigga cannot make music.
458
00:26:42,267 --> 00:26:45,229
This shit going nowhere
at the speed of bullshit.
459
00:26:54,029 --> 00:26:55,030
What up?
460
00:26:58,033 --> 00:26:59,034
What's up?
461
00:27:01,495 --> 00:27:03,288
Never brought these back.
462
00:27:04,373 --> 00:27:05,457
Thanks.
463
00:27:05,541 --> 00:27:07,000
You left them at the house.
464
00:27:08,127 --> 00:27:09,795
Wanda tells me you can't make music.
465
00:27:11,588 --> 00:27:13,966
Unfortunately, not that I like.
466
00:27:14,049 --> 00:27:16,009
It's because you be trying too hard, cuz.
467
00:27:17,010 --> 00:27:19,680
You gotta, like, just chill.
468
00:27:21,098 --> 00:27:23,183
You know, sometimes music is…
469
00:27:24,351 --> 00:27:27,771
classical, and sometimes it's jazz,
you know what I mean?
470
00:27:29,356 --> 00:27:31,859
Yeah. I-I write songs. I don't improvise.
471
00:27:34,236 --> 00:27:37,656
Nigga, you just be
saying shit sometimes, cuz.
472
00:27:43,287 --> 00:27:44,913
Look…
473
00:27:46,999 --> 00:27:48,876
All great players, they can, like…
474
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,920
They can get down in a moment, man.
475
00:27:53,589 --> 00:27:55,966
All right? That's what Artillery needs.
476
00:27:56,049 --> 00:27:59,386
Like that night that you was at the house,
and he was, like, all shot up.
477
00:27:59,469 --> 00:28:01,096
You weren't controlling shit then,
was you?
478
00:28:01,179 --> 00:28:03,223
So I gotta create with a gun to my head?
479
00:28:03,307 --> 00:28:06,143
I'm not doing that. Fuck that.
That's what Mom was dealing with, right?
480
00:28:06,226 --> 00:28:08,604
Hey, cuz. Don't do that, bro.
481
00:28:19,281 --> 00:28:21,867
How come you hid it from me?
482
00:28:24,494 --> 00:28:26,997
Seriously.
483
00:28:29,666 --> 00:28:31,126
'Cause when I found out,
484
00:28:32,085 --> 00:28:33,587
I reacted like you.
485
00:28:36,048 --> 00:28:37,674
Except with pistols involved.
486
00:28:47,017 --> 00:28:48,560
When they told me, man…
487
00:28:52,773 --> 00:28:54,900
I, like, really lost faith in Big Daddy.
488
00:28:57,736 --> 00:28:59,863
You know, as, like, a kid,
that was…
489
00:29:02,324 --> 00:29:04,159
Shit was like losing faith in God.
490
00:29:06,119 --> 00:29:07,454
Don't be like me, Mar.
491
00:29:10,791 --> 00:29:12,376
Don't stay gone too long, man.
492
00:29:34,606 --> 00:29:35,691
What?
493
00:29:37,567 --> 00:29:38,735
Stop playing.
494
00:29:39,528 --> 00:29:41,571
You should've been up in this rap game.
495
00:29:41,655 --> 00:29:43,240
This album is causing tension.
496
00:29:44,616 --> 00:29:45,617
So?
497
00:29:46,118 --> 00:29:47,119
So,
498
00:29:48,537 --> 00:29:50,998
what we got going
don't mean I inherit your beef.
499
00:29:51,081 --> 00:29:52,249
DG?
500
00:29:54,835 --> 00:29:55,919
Please.
501
00:29:57,671 --> 00:30:00,757
Look, I'm not like little Ms. Wanda.
502
00:30:04,594 --> 00:30:07,723
I wanna learn, build…
503
00:30:09,641 --> 00:30:10,767
and fuck.
504
00:30:14,604 --> 00:30:16,023
Oh, yeah?
505
00:30:16,565 --> 00:30:17,566
Yeah.
506
00:30:30,704 --> 00:30:32,956
Sorry, we're closed.
507
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,167
- Church ain't never closed for us.
- Aye.
508
00:30:35,250 --> 00:30:36,585
Been looking for you, brother.
509
00:30:38,295 --> 00:30:39,296
Me too.
510
00:30:40,630 --> 00:30:44,760
I'm sorry I've been, uh,
so out of pocket. Um…
511
00:30:45,635 --> 00:30:47,679
You think you'd be down
to go to the studio with me?
512
00:30:48,722 --> 00:30:50,432
You talked to Wanda or Artillery?
513
00:30:52,517 --> 00:30:55,562
Try to grasp the amount of pressure
I'm under, okay?
514
00:30:55,645 --> 00:30:58,815
If I don't figure this album out
before they take it from me,
515
00:30:58,899 --> 00:31:01,234
my entire career is stamped.
516
00:31:02,444 --> 00:31:04,780
That sounds terrible, Lamar.
517
00:31:06,490 --> 00:31:09,117
And I'm talking about being with you
in that state of mind in the studio.
518
00:31:13,163 --> 00:31:14,706
You know,
it's time to lose your virginity.
519
00:31:15,707 --> 00:31:18,460
It's time you witness Blur in action.
520
00:31:24,925 --> 00:31:26,259
Lookout's job is simple.
521
00:31:26,343 --> 00:31:28,553
You see blue or hear whoop,
just whistle quick.
522
00:31:34,017 --> 00:31:35,018
Oh, fuck.
523
00:31:38,105 --> 00:31:39,689
It starts with a name.
524
00:31:42,025 --> 00:31:43,276
I already have a name.
525
00:31:44,736 --> 00:31:46,029
DJ Lamar.
526
00:31:47,322 --> 00:31:49,991
Man, you think Artillery is a star
if he's "Emcee Arthur"?
527
00:31:50,700 --> 00:31:51,785
Lamar.
528
00:31:58,667 --> 00:32:01,086
Oven cleaner? The fuck are we doing?
529
00:32:01,169 --> 00:32:02,838
Stock nozzles flare like crazy.
530
00:32:03,797 --> 00:32:06,842
Graffiti is sacred shit.
Four pillars of hip-hop.
531
00:32:06,925 --> 00:32:08,969
Respect my shit and make a name tonight.

One of your crew, huh?
552
00:33:13,158 --> 00:33:14,451
Dude could really burn.
553
00:33:15,243 --> 00:33:16,953
First of us to go all-city too.
554
00:33:20,582 --> 00:33:21,917
Gone way too soon.
555
00:33:32,302 --> 00:33:35,555
I think I smell an "Andy-ism" coming.
556
00:33:35,639 --> 00:33:37,474
You smelling immortality, my nigga.
557
00:33:37,557 --> 00:33:38,975
I've been waiting for this moment.
558
00:33:39,768 --> 00:33:42,103
Know when we were slinging tapes
and you said that you were
559
00:33:42,187 --> 00:33:43,730
"strangers-asking-for-autographs" famous?
560
00:33:44,397 --> 00:33:45,649
Fame is when your name…
561
00:33:46,399 --> 00:33:50,654
your name lets people know who you are
before they ever even meet you,
562
00:33:51,446 --> 00:33:53,323
including those record execs.
563
00:33:55,784 --> 00:34:00,247
This right here, 12 ounces of pure soul
that can make you live forever.
564
00:34:02,207 --> 00:34:03,833
Lamar is you now.
565
00:34:05,377 --> 00:34:06,836
But the question is,
566
00:34:07,879 --> 00:34:09,631
do you know who the fuck you wanna be?
567
00:34:17,430 --> 00:34:18,598
I got it.
568
00:34:20,308 --> 00:34:21,851
Well, let 'em know then, playboy.
569
00:34:28,275 --> 00:34:33,697
The album is all about rebirth
and return, like the prodigal son.
570
00:34:34,281 --> 00:34:37,409
It's me and Artillery's journey
through LA leading up to now.
571
00:34:37,492 --> 00:34:40,578
The songs will capture the-the voice
of LA.
572
00:34:41,329 --> 00:34:45,750
That, we think, is a city of lost people
573
00:34:46,293 --> 00:34:48,295
searching through danger,
574
00:34:49,045 --> 00:34:52,257
drugs, parties, broken homes.
575
00:34:52,882 --> 00:34:57,220
These are songs that have stories
you tell, to quote a great woman,
576
00:34:57,846 --> 00:35:00,640
"Over Hennessy
and a card game."
577
00:35:01,266 --> 00:35:04,060
After the journey comes the awakening.
578
00:35:05,186 --> 00:35:06,313
What happens…
579
00:35:07,981 --> 00:35:09,482
when everything is destroyed?
580
00:35:11,860 --> 00:35:13,153
You are reborn.
581
00:35:18,658 --> 00:35:19,659
Sorry, are you done?
582
00:35:20,535 --> 00:35:24,748
It just… it sounded like
a whole lot of unspecific ideas.
583
00:35:29,461 --> 00:35:31,379
What about the list of producers?
584
00:35:31,463 --> 00:35:33,048
That would be me.
585
00:35:33,673 --> 00:35:35,300
But me now.
586
00:35:36,134 --> 00:35:39,846
As Nex, aka, DJ Nex.
587
00:35:45,518 --> 00:35:48,772
Right. So I don't really want to be
the only bad cop in the room,
588
00:35:48,855 --> 00:35:51,858
so the floor is open.
589
00:35:53,068 --> 00:35:55,445
But… no.
590
00:35:55,528 --> 00:35:58,490
I already got a whole list of producers
who can put the whole thing together.
591
00:35:58,573 --> 00:35:59,658
Wanda.
592
00:36:07,999 --> 00:36:11,711
He's been right since the beginning,
every call.
593
00:36:11,795 --> 00:36:15,840
Unless you wanna share
your vision for the album.
594
00:36:28,478 --> 00:36:30,730
This conversation is not over.
595
00:36:35,110 --> 00:36:38,738
Hell of a play, cousin.
You didn't even stutter.
596
00:36:43,660 --> 00:36:45,203
I'ma let y'all keep going.
597
00:36:45,912 --> 00:36:46,996
But keep me up to speed.
598
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:49,499
- I need to know what's going on.
- Will do. Will do, yeah.
599
00:36:49,582 --> 00:36:51,376
'Cause if you can't finish
this joint,
600
00:36:52,252 --> 00:36:54,337
I need to keep this train
moving without you.
601
00:36:57,173 --> 00:36:58,174
Let's go.
602
00:37:05,140 --> 00:37:08,435
You seem like you're finally learning
how good money feels.
603
00:37:09,519 --> 00:37:12,230
You keep it that way, we're cool,
all right?
604
00:37:51,603 --> 00:37:53,772
He was making fun of me earlier.
605
00:37:53,855 --> 00:37:56,107
- Hey, come here, come here. Move.
- Gotta get out the road.
606
00:38:07,202 --> 00:38:09,162
Quit playing, bro.
You almost got that.
607
00:38:12,290 --> 00:38:14,834
Slow ass car.
608
00:38:20,256 --> 00:38:22,717
Nigga, what the fuck is you doing
pissing around these kids?
609
00:38:23,384 --> 00:38:25,178
The fuck is you cussing around 'em?
610
00:38:25,887 --> 00:38:28,264
Hey, come on, y'all,
I gotta use the bathroom.
611
00:38:36,439 --> 00:38:38,441
You know he don't like
you working high.
612
00:38:39,275 --> 00:38:40,401
I ain't high yet.
613
00:38:42,362 --> 00:38:43,571
The kids are moving.
614
00:38:44,656 --> 00:38:47,116
Hey, bro, I'm posted or you coming in?
615
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:48,409
I'ma be right there with you.
616
00:38:49,536 --> 00:38:51,913
- Need some of that cake before it melts.
- All right then.
617
00:38:54,749 --> 00:38:56,125
I'll be over there.
618
00:38:56,209 --> 00:38:57,460
Nigga, hurry up.
619
00:39:24,487 --> 00:39:27,156
- Hey, let's go. Let's go.
- Hey, hold on.
620
00:39:28,867 --> 00:39:30,493
Are you crazy, man?
621
00:39:34,414 --> 00:39:36,374
Deon, let's go.
622
00:39:36,457 --> 00:39:37,917
That's a real nigga right here.
623
00:39:51,806 --> 00:39:52,932
Let's go.
624
00:39:55,226 --> 00:39:57,061

625
00:40:08,197 --> 00:40:09,282
