you than any one of them.

we liquidate his brain stem?

00:07:08,606 --> 00:07:10,539
I think it's perfect, Mom.
I love working with you.
178
00:07:10,608 --> 00:07:11,941
Yeah, I know you do,
179
00:07:12,009 --> 00:07:14,210
'cause you can feel when
it's real.
180
00:07:14,278 --> 00:07:15,544
It's only a matter of time
181
00:07:15,613 --> 00:07:17,079
before you come on back home with us.
182
00:07:17,148 --> 00:07:19,081
Mom, Dad would kill us
if he knew that we were
183
00:07:19,150 --> 00:07:21,584
working together; he'd probably
shut the whole thing down.
184
00:07:21,652 --> 00:07:23,452
You know what kind of
magic we make together.
185
00:07:23,521 --> 00:07:25,554
Why would you want to hide that?
186
00:07:25,623 --> 00:07:26,956
Because this deal is everything.
187
00:07:27,024 --> 00:07:28,457
Like, literally, this is it.
188
00:07:28,526 --> 00:07:30,960
I can't have Dad get mad and
messing the whole thing up,
189
00:07:31,028 --> 00:07:32,394
which you know he would.
190
00:07:32,463 --> 00:07:33,729
Jamal, you have leverage.
191
00:07:33,798 --> 00:07:34,997
Tell him the truth.
192
00:07:35,066 --> 00:07:36,799
Hell, let me tell his ass the truth.
193
00:07:40,838 --> 00:07:42,071
I know y'all wondering about
194
00:07:42,139 --> 00:07:43,739
this Freda Gatz chick coming at me.
195
00:07:43,808 --> 00:07:45,774
What, y'all don't think I'm my own man?
196
00:07:45,843 --> 00:07:47,243
Y'all think that my father's little pet
197
00:07:47,311 --> 00:07:49,578
can take my last name?
198
00:07:49,647 --> 00:07:51,947
No, I ain't going down like that.
199
00:07:52,016 --> 00:07:53,916
I'm here to tell all
you frauds and you haters
200
00:07:53,985 --> 00:07:55,451
and Lucious Lyon, too,
201
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,853
I'm-a battle Freda Gatz for my last name.
202
00:07:57,922 --> 00:08:00,256
And I'm-a show the whole
world who the real Lyon is.
203
00:08:00,324 --> 00:08:02,024
Yeah, boy! Ah! Yes.
204
00:08:02,093 --> 00:08:04,293
Show 'em, baby!
205
00:08:04,362 --> 00:08:06,462
I ain't playing. I ain't playing
with that chick. That's it, brother.
206
00:08:06,531 --> 00:08:08,464

I was just calling because, um...
211
00:08:58,215 --> 00:09:01,317
I just wanted to talk
to you about something.

So just when you have a
moment, give me a call back.

Okay, bye.
214

Every single blogger

Hakeem versus Freda Gatz.
216
00:09:14,570 --> 00:09:16,070
I mean, it's trending right now. Look.
217
00:09:17,306 --> 00:09:18,205
Ma, where you been?
218
00:09:18,274 --> 00:09:20,841
Boy, how in the hell
219
00:09:20,910 --> 00:09:23,577
could you let Lucious
sucker you into a rap battle?
220
00:09:23,646 --> 00:09:24,879
That's what ol' boy told you,
221
00:09:24,947 --> 00:09:26,647
that Lucious suckered me into a rap battle?
222
00:09:26,716 --> 00:09:28,749
Look, Keem, I'm not trying
to start any problems.
223
00:09:28,818 --> 00:09:29,984
Hey, brah, I'm not sure
224
00:09:30,052 --> 00:09:31,952
that you should be calling me "Keem," dawg.
225
00:09:32,021 --> 00:09:34,121
You already got my mom
turnt up, so you clearly
226
00:09:34,190 --> 00:09:35,689
- starting problems right now.
- Hey!
227
00:09:35,758 --> 00:09:38,292
We are trying to get this cookout going,
228
00:09:38,361 --> 00:09:40,361
and you go and announce to the world
229
00:09:40,429 --> 00:09:42,630
that you are battling Freda Gatz.
230
00:09:42,698 --> 00:09:45,466
Now, do you understand if she wrecks you,
231
00:09:45,534 --> 00:09:48,035
we lose all cred before we even had any?
232
00:09:48,104 --> 00:09:49,637
That's what he told
you? She gonna wreck me?
233
00:09:49,705 --> 00:09:51,405
Freda Gatz is a animal.
234
00:09:51,474 --> 00:09:53,274
Now, I'm not taking anything
235
00:09:53,342 --> 00:09:57,311
away from your talent, baby,
but that is not what you do.
236
00:09:57,380 --> 00:09:58,712
Look...
237
00:09:58,781 --> 00:10:00,648
Laz, I swear to God, man,
say something else, dawg.
238
00:10:00,716 --> 00:10:03,117
Look, don't start getting
emotional, boy, because
239
00:10:03,185 --> 00:10:04,618
I swear, right... Mom, stop!
240
00:10:04,687 --> 00:10:06,921
You emotional, not me.
I'm on point, like always.
241
00:10:06,989 --> 00:10:09,456
I'm not just popping on social media.
242
00:10:09,525 --> 00:10:11,392
I'm number four in the top ten slots.
243
00:10:11,460 --> 00:10:15,729
Because of me, every move Empire
makes promotes Lyon Dynasty.
244
00:10:15,798 --> 00:10:17,765
So, really, I suckered them.
245
00:10:17,833 --> 00:10:19,266
That's if you win.
246
00:10:19,335 --> 00:10:21,335
And thirdly, I don't
even know why you talking.
247
00:10:21,404 --> 00:10:22,903
Is he a partner?
248
00:10:22,972 --> 00:10:25,606
No, you a punk-ass promoter,
so go hand out some flyers
249
00:10:25,675 --> 00:10:27,107
and put them on them walls over there,
250
00:10:27,176 --> 00:10:28,442
and get up out of here, man.
251
00:10:28,511 --> 00:10:30,110
It's okay, babe.
252
00:10:30,179 --> 00:10:31,378
Ain't no flyers under here?
253
00:10:31,447 --> 00:10:32,479
It's all good.
254
00:10:32,548 --> 00:10:33,914
Yeah, it's time to go, man.
255
00:10:33,983 --> 00:10:34,915
See you later.
256
00:10:34,984 --> 00:10:36,317
Okay.
257
00:10:36,385 --> 00:10:37,484
All right.
258
00:10:37,553 --> 00:10:39,820
Hakeem.
259
00:10:39,889 --> 00:10:42,156
- You got heart. Don't do this,
man. - Hakeem, back off.
260
00:10:42,224 --> 00:10:44,124
Hakeem, back off.
261
00:10:44,193 --> 00:10:46,961
Hey! Hey! Look!
262
00:10:47,029 --> 00:10:48,595
Don't you touch my son!
263
00:10:48,664 --> 00:10:50,831
Okay? Don't ever touch my son!
264
00:10:50,900 --> 00:10:52,967
You get that?
265
00:10:54,070 --> 00:10:56,303
Look, if you lose,
266
00:10:56,372 --> 00:10:59,440
we become Empire's bitch.
267
00:10:59,508 --> 00:11:01,875
And for a start-up
company like us...
268
00:11:01,944 --> 00:11:04,111
Look
at me...
269
00:11:04,180 --> 00:11:06,380
That's the end, you understand?
270
00:11:06,449 --> 00:11:08,649
But, Mom, she's trying to take my name.
271
00:11:08,718 --> 00:11:10,317
You think I'm gonna allow that to happen?
272
00:11:10,386 --> 00:11:13,287
If I lose, I lose more than Lyon Dynasty.
273
00:11:13,356 --> 00:11:14,989
I'm-a make that bitch my bitch.
274
00:11:18,928 --> 00:11:20,861
You better.
275
00:11:24,967 --> 00:11:28,302
Jamal, I need to know where we stand, baby.
276
00:11:28,371 --> 00:11:30,904
I mean, Hakeem is fighting for his life,
277
00:11:30,973 --> 00:11:32,339
I'm fighting for you.
278
00:11:32,408 --> 00:11:33,874
What's up with us, boo?
279
00:11:33,943 --> 00:11:35,509
I know, Mom.
280
00:11:41,484 --> 00:11:43,384
Mom... What?
281
00:11:43,452 --> 00:11:44,985
Mom, it's Lucious. It's Dad.
282
00:11:45,054 --> 00:11:47,221
Mom, go, go, go. The
closet, up there, please!
283
00:11:48,657 --> 00:11:50,057
Got it.
284
00:11:50,126 --> 00:11:51,291
Yo, what's up, Dad?
285
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:52,493
Got the song, man.
286
00:11:52,561 --> 00:11:54,361
I was... I was going crazy all night.
287
00:11:54,430 --> 00:11:55,929
I-I was working with Thirsty,
288
00:11:55,998 --> 00:11:57,731
trying to deal with this Stream thing,
289
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,900
and it hit me out of nowhere.
290
00:11:59,969 --> 00:12:01,902
It hit me, and it's so beautiful.
291
00:12:01,971 --> 00:12:04,104
I got the song. Been
in the studio all night.
292
00:12:04,173 --> 00:12:05,172
Song for Pepsi?
293
00:12:05,241 --> 00:12:06,173
Yes, the Pepsi song.
294
00:12:06,242 --> 00:12:07,374
All right, well, let's hear.
295
00:12:07,443 --> 00:12:08,542
I-I got something, too, though.
296
00:12:08,611 --> 00:12:09,977
No. No, no, no.
297
00:12:10,046 --> 00:12:12,279
The moment you hear this,
it's a rap. It's a rap.
298
00:12:12,348 --> 00:12:14,214
It's a rap. It's a rap. Bing, bing, bing.
299
00:12:14,283 --> 00:12:15,949
Go. Go for it.
300
00:12:17,653 --> 00:12:20,354
See what I'm saying?
301
00:12:20,423 --> 00:12:21,789
It's kind of crazy, right?
302
00:12:21,857 --> 00:12:23,424
It's like this mad generation.
303
00:12:26,295 --> 00:12:27,928
Yeah.
304
00:12:29,031 --> 00:12:31,365
Kind of tribal, right?
305
00:12:31,434 --> 00:12:32,466
Yeah.
306
00:12:32,535 --> 00:12:33,901
It's world.
307
00:12:33,969 --> 00:12:35,903
See what I'm saying? That's the song. Yeah.
308
00:12:35,971 --> 00:12:37,304
You don't think it's too edgy for Pepsi?
309
00:12:37,373 --> 00:12:39,706
No, no, no, no. This is the song!
310
00:12:39,775 --> 00:12:41,275
This is the song. Oh, yeah.
311
00:12:41,343 --> 00:12:43,277
We can tone down the edges if we need to.
312
00:12:43,345 --> 00:12:45,279
I got the studio booked. Come on.
313
00:12:45,347 --> 00:12:47,848
Let's go. Come on.
314
00:12:47,917 --> 00:12:49,583
Well, I don't know if we
should do it now, because...
315
00:12:49,652 --> 00:12:51,652
Yo, why is your mama' jacket
here? Oh, that's her jacket?
316
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,420
She always leaving
stuff over here. Come on.
317
00:12:53,489 --> 00:12:54,888
And record this dang song.
318
00:12:55,991 --> 00:12:58,092
Acting like a damn fool.
319
00:13:01,564 --> 00:13:03,330
Anika?
320
00:13:03,399 --> 00:13:04,631
Oh, my God.
321
00:13:04,700 --> 00:13:06,800
Hi, Rhonda. Hi.
322
00:13:06,869 --> 00:13:08,335
I was just here getting
my favorite smoothie,
323
00:13:08,404 --> 00:13:09,336
the Soul Cleanser.
324
00:13:09,405 --> 00:13:11,105
Are you okay?
325
00:13:13,042 --> 00:13:14,408
You know what? I feel like my soul
326
00:13:14,477 --> 00:13:15,776
could use some cleansing, too.
327
00:13:15,845 --> 00:13:17,578
Want me to come?
328
00:13:17,646 --> 00:13:19,580
Okay.
329
00:13:19,648 --> 00:13:22,082
By the way, you look
amazing. You're barely showing.
330
00:13:22,151 --> 00:13:23,851
Well, for a long time,
331
00:13:23,919 --> 00:13:25,919
we didn't want to have
kids, for many reasons,
332
00:13:25,988 --> 00:13:29,623
but when this happened...
333
00:13:29,692 --> 00:13:30,991
I don't know.
334
00:13:31,060 --> 00:13:32,993
It's honestly the happiest I've ever been.
335
00:13:33,062 --> 00:13:34,027
Really?
336
00:13:34,096 --> 00:13:35,496
Yeah.
337
00:13:35,564 --> 00:13:37,331
And then there's this added bonus,
338
00:13:37,399 --> 00:13:40,367
because, turns out, babies are
like kryptonite for Lucious.
339
00:13:40,436 --> 00:13:41,935
Wait, what?
340
00:13:42,004 --> 00:13:43,804
Well, do you remember
how he was around Lola?
341
00:13:43,873 --> 00:13:45,806
He just completely melted around her.
342
00:13:45,875 --> 00:13:47,274
Oh, yeah, he did.
343
00:13:47,343 --> 00:13:48,609
It's just totally bizarre,
344
00:13:48,677 --> 00:13:52,346
because after being completely
iced by him for years,
345
00:13:52,414 --> 00:13:55,249
this pregnancy has changed everything.
346
00:13:57,019 --> 00:13:59,920
I mean, he'll drop by
my house just to chat.
347
00:13:59,989 --> 00:14:00,921
Really?
348
00:14:00,990 --> 00:14:01,955
Isn't that crazy?
349
00:14:02,024 --> 00:14:03,657
Wow.
350
00:14:07,137 --> 00:14:09,912
Hey, Mom?
351
00:14:09,981 --> 00:14:11,281
Ma?
352
00:14:11,349 --> 00:14:13,016
Where are we with your song, Jamal?
353
00:14:13,084 --> 00:14:14,784
I kind of think I should do some tweaking
354
00:14:14,853 --> 00:14:16,286
to the song myself, you know?
355
00:14:16,354 --> 00:14:17,654
So you working with Jamal?
356
00:14:17,722 --> 00:14:19,656
That's why I can't get you to help me
357
00:14:19,724 --> 00:14:21,758
with the biggest battle of my life?
358
00:14:21,826 --> 00:14:23,359
The battle for Dynasty?
359
00:14:23,428 --> 00:14:25,295
It's not what you think, Hakeem.
360
00:14:25,363 --> 00:14:27,330
How come nothing I do
is good enough for you?
361
00:14:27,399 --> 00:14:28,965
What makes you love Jamal more than me?
362
00:14:29,034 --> 00:14:31,534
Boy, come over here and sit down.
363
00:14:38,076 --> 00:14:40,176
Look, I'm sorry I hurt you, okay?
364
00:14:40,245 --> 00:14:43,012
But this deal is the biggest thing
365
00:14:43,081 --> 00:14:44,814
to ever happen to Jamal.
366
00:14:44,883 --> 00:14:46,883
And if I can make it happen,
367
00:14:46,951 --> 00:14:48,951
then maybe I can get
Jamal back here with us.
368
00:14:49,020 --> 00:14:49,952
Well, him?
369
00:14:50,021 --> 00:14:51,788
What about me? Us?
370
00:14:51,856 --> 00:14:54,290
You keep working with Jamal,
I'm gonna tell Lucious.
371
00:14:54,359 --> 00:14:57,026
You know what you sound like?
372
00:14:57,095 --> 00:14:58,494
A snitch bitch.
373
00:14:58,563 --> 00:15:00,797
What? Yeah.
374
00:15:00,865 --> 00:15:02,265
And what, you gonna snitch to Lucious?
375
00:15:02,334 --> 00:15:04,067
The man who's trying to take your name?
376
00:15:04,135 --> 00:15:05,068
Really? I...
377
00:15:05,136 --> 00:15:06,536
Yeah, I thought your little punk ass
378
00:15:06,604 --> 00:15:08,871
toughened up, but I guess I was wrong.
379
00:15:08,940 --> 00:15:11,240
All right, I'll hold this one.
380
00:15:11,309 --> 00:15:14,911
But you better get on point, or
I'm gonna air you and Jamal out.
381
00:15:15,980 --> 00:15:17,714
Okay, you the boss.
382
00:15:17,782 --> 00:15:19,248
Now get your ass in there
383
00:15:19,317 --> 00:15:21,818
so we can get you ready for this battle.
384
00:15:21,886 --> 00:15:23,486
I'll meet you in the studio.
385
00:15:23,555 --> 00:15:24,487
Okay.
386
00:15:29,494 --> 00:15:30,927
Same problem, all the way.
387
00:15:30,995 --> 00:15:32,395
Oh, that's crazy.
388
00:15:32,464 --> 00:15:34,397
That was crazy. I'm tired.
389
00:15:34,466 --> 00:15:37,333
Yeah, so, anyway, I dug
up a mountain of dirt
390
00:15:37,402 --> 00:15:39,035
on your friend Jago Locke.
391
00:15:39,104 --> 00:15:41,838
I mean, it was easy.
392
00:15:41,906 --> 00:15:45,041
He airs it all out.
393
00:15:45,110 --> 00:15:47,677
You can't blackmail a man
who flaunts his foulness.
394
00:15:47,746 --> 00:15:51,013
Look, I know you want this, Pop.
395
00:15:51,082 --> 00:15:54,584
Every bone in my body says
that we should back out now.
396
00:15:54,652 --> 00:15:58,054
No. Dre's got Beats, Jay has Tidal.
397
00:15:58,123 --> 00:16:00,089
Empire needs Swiftstream.
398
00:16:00,158 --> 00:16:01,791
If you're worried about
Mimi, Pop, we can...
399
00:16:01,860 --> 00:16:04,394
No, no, that bitch needs to
worry about me! Same with Jago!
400
00:16:04,462 --> 00:16:07,296
Same with you two! Same with Hakeem!
401
00:16:07,365 --> 00:16:10,066
Same with everyone if we don't
start making some moves soon.
402
00:16:10,135 --> 00:16:12,969
I'm sick and tired of being
out here on this damn ledge.
403
00:16:16,674 --> 00:16:18,741
Okay.
404
00:16:18,810 --> 00:16:20,943
Only way we do this is to get Mimi
405
00:16:21,012 --> 00:16:23,045
to go in with us to mitigate the risk.
406
00:16:23,114 --> 00:16:25,081
Damn right.
407
00:16:27,218 --> 00:16:28,551
Yeah.
408
00:16:37,028 --> 00:16:38,961
Hey.
409
00:16:40,565 --> 00:16:42,665
Somebody's in a funk.
410
00:16:44,836 --> 00:16:46,636
You never confirmed for tonight.
411
00:16:46,704 --> 00:16:48,404
Sorry, babe. I just been hella focused.
412
00:16:48,473 --> 00:16:51,140
Oh.
413
00:16:51,209 --> 00:16:53,576
The thing with Freda.
414
00:16:53,645 --> 00:16:55,645
Yeah. Like, Anika, can I be honest?
415
00:16:55,713 --> 00:16:57,747
Yeah. I wish I hadn't done this.
416
00:16:57,816 --> 00:17:00,116
The way Lucious came at
me got me feeling like...
417
00:17:00,185 --> 00:17:02,084
like I'm floating in
outer space or something.
418
00:17:05,924 --> 00:17:08,691
You cannot let him rule your life, Hakeem.
419
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:13,029
You need people around you who
are gonna make you feel good.
420
00:17:13,097 --> 00:17:14,831
You know?
421
00:17:14,899 --> 00:17:16,432
Really good.
422
00:17:17,936 --> 00:17:20,136
Mm, babe. Oh.
423
00:17:20,205 --> 00:17:21,270
Mmm.
424
00:17:21,339 --> 00:17:22,772
Babe, slow down.
425
00:17:22,841 --> 00:17:25,441
I need to tell you something,
426
00:17:25,510 --> 00:17:28,711
and I want to make sure you're
in the right mood to hear it.
427
00:17:28,780 --> 00:17:30,813
Can we, like, talk, no touching? Hmm?
428
00:17:32,383 --> 00:17:34,150
Really?
429
00:17:34,219 --> 00:17:35,351
No.
430
00:17:35,420 --> 00:17:37,153
Look, here's the thing.
431
00:17:41,092 --> 00:17:43,025
I think I'm in love.
432
00:17:46,598 --> 00:17:48,865
You're... you're in love?
433
00:17:48,933 --> 00:17:50,633
Yeah.
434
00:17:52,570 --> 00:17:54,504
Look, I know it sound crazy.
435
00:17:54,572 --> 00:17:56,572
But I ain't never feel this way in my life.
436
00:17:56,641 --> 00:18:00,009
But we still homies, right?
I still think you're dope.
437
00:18:00,078 --> 00:18:03,679
Yeah. Of course.
438
00:18:03,748 --> 00:18:05,414
Yes. Great, great.
439
00:18:05,483 --> 00:18:07,750
So what did you have to tell me?
440
00:18:09,821 --> 00:18:12,154
Nothing. Nothing.
441
00:18:12,223 --> 00:18:15,258
I just wanted to offer you my support
442
00:18:15,326 --> 00:18:17,493
with the Freda thing, that's all.
443
00:18:17,562 --> 00:18:20,696
I don't know wh-what's gonna happen.
444
00:18:20,765 --> 00:18:23,766
I got Cookie and Laura helping me.
445
00:18:23,835 --> 00:18:26,335
Look, I'm sorry about everything, Anika.
446
00:18:27,472 --> 00:18:29,372
Don't be.
447
00:18:40,531 --> 00:18:42,426
Hey, what's up, Mal?
448
00:18:42,495 --> 00:18:45,062
So, listen. I've been
thinking about this song,
449
00:18:45,131 --> 00:18:49,366
and, uh... not really sure
which way I want to go with it.
450
00:18:49,435 --> 00:18:51,202
What you talking about?
You don't like my song?
451
00:18:51,270 --> 00:18:53,003
No, I love your song. It's dope.
452
00:18:53,072 --> 00:18:57,575
But I got this other song
stuck in my head, and...
453
00:18:57,643 --> 00:18:59,310
I don't know, maybe there's a way we could,
454
00:18:59,378 --> 00:19:01,078
you know, combine the two.
455
00:19:01,147 --> 00:19:02,580
Well, let me hear it.
456
00:19:02,648 --> 00:19:04,682
I mean, if it's good, we'll
use that one. Who cares?
457
00:19:08,868 --> 00:19:10,317
Nice.
458
00:19:14,427 --> 00:19:15,593
It's cute.
459
00:19:15,661 --> 00:19:17,595
- Cute.
- All right.
460
00:19:17,663 --> 00:19:18,963
- Cute in a sexy kind of cute.
- Yeah.
461
00:19:43,623 --> 00:19:45,686
Yes, Jamal!
462
00:19:45,717 --> 00:19:48,318
Okay, I see why you wanted
to use the studio.
463
00:19:48,387 --> 00:19:50,353
I see you, boo. You
know, I've been thinking
464
00:19:50,422 --> 00:19:52,656
about what the song needs
to take it to the next level.
465
00:19:52,724 --> 00:19:54,424
- Good. Me, too.
- Yeah, you know those keys
466
00:19:54,493 --> 00:19:57,094
are angelic, but they're a
little too happy, you feel me?
467
00:19:57,162 --> 00:19:58,662
Put a little edge on that.
468
00:19:58,730 --> 00:20:00,797
Put some stank on it. Run it
back. Let me hear it again.
469
00:20:00,866 --> 00:20:02,032
- Mm-hmm, absolutely. Y'all ready?
- Yeah.
470
00:20:02,101 --> 00:20:03,934
- All right.
- Go ahead, run it back.
471
00:20:04,002 --> 00:20:05,936
Come on, what you waiting for?!
472
00:20:06,004 --> 00:20:07,871
Why y'all standing around
looking like you seen a ghost?
473
00:20:07,940 --> 00:20:09,873
What in the hell is going on here?
474
00:20:09,942 --> 00:20:12,209
- Are you serious, Jamal?
- You playing with me?
475
00:20:12,277 --> 00:20:13,643
That was her song?
476
00:20:13,712 --> 00:20:15,846
- I'm not working with her,
man. - Okay, so I left
477
00:20:15,914 --> 00:20:18,181
my spa mani-pedi to come and deal
with this? Hear me out, please.
478
00:20:18,250 --> 00:20:20,117
- Is this for real?
- Just hear me out.
479
00:20:20,185 --> 00:20:21,318
I don't even believe
this. Just wait, y'all!
480
00:20:21,386 --> 00:20:23,353
This is exactly why I
needed neutral ground.
481
00:20:23,422 --> 00:20:24,921
Now...
482
00:20:24,990 --> 00:20:27,557
I'm gonna need y'all to fuse
both of your songs together.
483
00:20:27,626 --> 00:20:28,592
I'm sorry, that's not gonna happen.
484
00:20:28,660 --> 00:20:29,826
That's gonna happen.
485
00:20:29,895 --> 00:20:32,462
Charlie, bring up the
mics, please. Thank you.
486
00:20:32,531 --> 00:20:34,831
Here we go, flutes. One, two, three, and...
487
00:20:42,741 --> 00:20:43,740
Mom. What?
488
00:20:43,809 --> 00:20:45,342
Your flutes are
489
00:20:45,410 --> 00:20:47,043
beautiful, they're perfect. I know that.
490
00:20:47,112 --> 00:20:49,246
They are. Your keyboard...
491
00:20:53,385 --> 00:20:54,684
are beautiful.
492
00:20:54,753 --> 00:20:55,819
Uplifting, even.
493
00:20:55,888 --> 00:20:57,287
"Angelic" is what I said.
494
00:20:57,356 --> 00:20:58,388
Okay, angelic.
495
00:20:58,457 --> 00:21:00,123
But...
496
00:21:00,192 --> 00:21:02,692
Dad's beat and bass line
will bring it all together.
497
00:21:14,139 --> 00:21:15,071
That's the whole song.
498
00:21:15,140 --> 00:21:16,339
So this is what I need from y'all.
499
00:21:16,408 --> 00:21:19,075
We are going to merge
these two songs together.
500
00:21:19,144 --> 00:21:21,011
Uh, that is not gonna happen. Mom,
501
00:21:21,079 --> 00:21:22,879
these musicians know literally
every single note of this song.
502
00:21:22,948 --> 00:21:24,247
And if y'all can just work together
503
00:21:24,316 --> 00:21:26,183
for more than two seconds, I promise you
504
00:21:26,251 --> 00:21:27,551
I can close this thing. Look, y'all can
505
00:21:27,619 --> 00:21:29,085
play whatever game y'all want to play,
506
00:21:29,154 --> 00:21:31,922
but at the end of the day,
this is an Empire song.
507
00:21:31,990 --> 00:21:33,290
Empire's paying for this session.
508
00:21:33,358 --> 00:21:34,291
Actually, no.
509
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:35,725
I am.
510
00:21:37,596 --> 00:21:38,862
Dad.
511
00:21:38,931 --> 00:21:40,964
Your generation.
512
00:21:41,033 --> 00:21:42,933
Thank you. All right, come on.
513
00:21:43,001 --> 00:21:44,267
Top.
514
00:21:44,336 --> 00:21:45,969
One, two, three, and...
515
00:21:57,149 --> 00:21:58,915
Wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait! No, no, no, no!
516
00:21:58,984 --> 00:22:00,317
Now what the hell is that, man?!
517
00:22:00,385 --> 00:22:02,052
Oh, my...
518
00:22:02,120 --> 00:22:03,453
That don't work, Jamal. He...
519
00:22:03,522 --> 00:22:05,488
That-that flattened 13th
is killing the bass line.
520
00:22:05,557 --> 00:22:06,990
What? You got to take that out.
521
00:22:07,059 --> 00:22:09,092
No, I'm not taking that out, Lucious, no!
522
00:22:09,161 --> 00:22:12,462
Because, first of all, your damn
chorus is too long and scary.
523
00:22:12,531 --> 00:22:14,731
Now why don't
you just tell the truth?
524
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,400
You're just trying to save
your dead label by using my son.
525
00:22:17,469 --> 00:22:19,069
That's the truth. Oh, so now he's your son?
526
00:22:19,137 --> 00:22:21,304
Now he's your son, Lucious? You hear this?
527
00:22:21,373 --> 00:22:22,973
That's it.
528
00:22:23,041 --> 00:22:25,175
I'm not working with her, I told you.
529
00:22:25,244 --> 00:22:26,443
Choose.
530
00:22:26,511 --> 00:22:28,345
Yeah, you gonna have to choose.
531
00:22:28,413 --> 00:22:31,281
'Cause, I'm sorry, this
is not the Disney Channel.
532
00:22:31,350 --> 00:22:32,849
We have no happy ending.
533
00:22:32,918 --> 00:22:34,417
Never was a happy ending.
534
00:22:34,486 --> 00:22:36,086
This is an embarrassment is what this is.
535
00:22:36,154 --> 00:22:37,954
Well, I don't know,
536
00:22:38,023 --> 00:22:39,823
I thought that maybe y'all could choose
537
00:22:39,891 --> 00:22:41,925
to work together to possibly
do something that would not only
538
00:22:41,994 --> 00:22:43,460
change my life but y'all's, too.
539
00:22:44,896 --> 00:22:46,596
I guess I was wrong, so I'm done.
540
00:22:46,665 --> 00:22:48,265
Jamal, baby... No, Ma, I-I'm done.
541
00:22:50,569 --> 00:22:51,701
I'm gonna get him back.
542
00:22:51,770 --> 00:22:53,336
He needs me. He lives to be me.
543
00:22:53,405 --> 00:22:55,138
He needs me. And you're
gonna lose Hakeem as well.
544
00:22:55,207 --> 00:22:56,172
I got time on my side.
545
00:22:56,241 --> 00:22:57,774
And I'm gonna rebuild him.
546
00:22:57,843 --> 00:23:00,176
Don't you bet on it.
547
00:23:00,245 --> 00:23:03,446
Hey... why don't we make a bet?
548
00:23:03,515 --> 00:23:04,781
Say word.
549
00:23:04,850 --> 00:23:06,816
When Hakeem wins...
550
00:23:06,885 --> 00:23:07,784
Hmm.
551
00:23:07,853 --> 00:23:09,452
I get to release
552
00:23:09,521 --> 00:23:11,521
Jamal's next album through Lyon Dynasty.
553
00:23:13,392 --> 00:23:16,660
And if your Freda Wack...
554
00:23:16,728 --> 00:23:19,529
happens to win,
555
00:23:19,598 --> 00:23:21,631
you can have Hakeem's.
556
00:23:23,802 --> 00:23:25,302
Bet.
557
00:23:25,370 --> 00:23:26,903
Bet.
558
00:23:26,972 --> 00:23:29,139
- Put your shoes in my face again.
- Shut it.
559
00:23:30,761 --> 00:23:33,513
Okay, this is a battle rap.
Now, we just gonna throw you
560
00:23:33,581 --> 00:23:37,297
- some subjects and you flow,
okay? - Go.
561
00:23:37,338 --> 00:23:39,037

makes you want to just say screw it.
586
00:24:42,169 --> 00:24:44,436
Know what I'm saying? I
could submit both songs.
587
00:24:44,505 --> 00:24:47,372
But, man, how you gonna
win with "screw it"?
588
00:24:47,441 --> 00:24:49,007
Don't ask, just take.
589
00:24:49,076 --> 00:24:52,010
You got Dad in you and
you got Mom in you, too.
590
00:24:52,079 --> 00:24:54,680
You got to take the parts
you need from both of them
591
00:24:54,748 --> 00:24:56,215
and fuse them together for yourself.
592
00:24:56,283 --> 00:24:59,618
Ain't no Mom and Dad.
593
00:24:59,687 --> 00:25:02,387
They're business
partners, not your parents.
594
00:25:03,791 --> 00:25:05,157
It's all on you, Mal.
595
00:25:05,226 --> 00:25:07,025
Oh, CEO talk coming from you.
596
00:25:12,032 --> 00:25:14,399
So you gonna come see me and Freda or what?
597
00:25:14,468 --> 00:25:17,503
Tell you this much though,
I want to see a show.
598
00:25:17,571 --> 00:25:18,637
I thought a battle was a show.
599
00:25:18,706 --> 00:25:20,539
Mm-mm. A battle is a battle.
600
00:25:20,608 --> 00:25:22,241
And that's Freda's game;
you ain't got to try
601
00:25:22,309 --> 00:25:23,642
to follow that little one-trick fool.
602
00:25:23,711 --> 00:25:25,611
You a MC, but you're also a performer.
603
00:25:25,679 --> 00:25:26,912
So that's what you do.
604
00:25:26,981 --> 00:25:30,148
You need to work the
crowd and-and hype them up
605
00:25:30,217 --> 00:25:32,050
and give them... give them real songs
606
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:33,886
instead of just, you know, battle raps.
607
00:25:33,954 --> 00:25:35,320
That's how you gonna win.
608
00:25:35,389 --> 00:25:38,824
Make sure you get that damn
chip dust off your mouth, too.
609
00:25:40,261 --> 00:25:42,261
Come on, chief.
610
00:25:42,329 --> 00:25:43,595
♪ Oh, yeah, oh, yeah ♪
611
00:25:43,664 --> 00:25:45,330
♪ You're worth more
than a hundred grand. ♪
612
00:25:45,399 --> 00:25:48,000
Oh, come on, Mimi's not coming, face it.
613
00:25:48,068 --> 00:25:50,769
Guys, I have to get to the gym. I mean...
614
00:25:52,306 --> 00:25:54,439
You know, you could always
just put the money up yourself.
615
00:25:54,508 --> 00:25:56,241
Or, you know,
616
00:25:56,310 --> 00:25:59,578
the deal dies, the bank's
analyst rates Empire a sell,
617
00:25:59,647 --> 00:26:01,914
and your stock tumbles into nothing.
618
00:26:01,982 --> 00:26:05,918
If the deal dies, then your
company doesn't benefit.
619
00:26:05,986 --> 00:26:07,853
Everybody is into streaming.
620
00:26:07,922 --> 00:26:09,454
Okay? Show me the numbers.
621
00:26:09,523 --> 00:26:11,557
I can tell by your faces
that you're leveraged.
622
00:26:13,961 --> 00:26:15,961
Dre called it.
623
00:26:16,030 --> 00:26:18,397
Mimi got us flapping in the wind.
624
00:26:18,465 --> 00:26:20,499
You ask me, you bail out
now. It'll be a brutal hit,
625
00:26:20,568 --> 00:26:21,533
but you could probably survive it.
626
00:26:21,602 --> 00:26:23,635
I don't deal with probablys.
627
00:26:23,704 --> 00:26:25,137
I'm buying Swiftstream.
628
00:26:25,205 --> 00:26:27,539
Lucious, you can barely afford your half,
629
00:26:27,608 --> 00:26:29,107
let alone the entire amount.
630
00:26:29,176 --> 00:26:30,809
Gentlemen...
631
00:26:30,878 --> 00:26:33,779
I have been advised to shut up.
632
00:26:33,847 --> 00:26:38,317
Also, I'm tired of
waiting, so I'm gonna go.
633
00:26:38,385 --> 00:26:39,985
I am so very sorry.
634
00:26:40,054 --> 00:26:41,219
Life interfered.
635
00:26:41,288 --> 00:26:44,323
Now, can we wrap this up?
636
00:26:44,391 --> 00:26:47,492
All depends if Mimi has
any more surprises for us.
637
00:26:47,561 --> 00:26:50,629
Lucious, you know that I'm
dealing with personal matters.
638
00:26:52,066 --> 00:26:54,566
Where's that letter of intent?
639
00:26:54,635 --> 00:26:55,634
Here.
640
00:26:55,703 --> 00:26:57,402
Thank you.
641
00:27:03,243 --> 00:27:05,177
I have to get to Positano.
642
00:27:14,655 --> 00:27:17,322
The sooner you sign it,
the sooner we get to work.
643
00:27:33,507 --> 00:27:34,773
Hell with it.
644
00:27:34,842 --> 00:27:37,142
Leverage away.
645
00:27:37,211 --> 00:27:40,012
In six months, I'm-a own the world.
646
00:27:48,022 --> 00:27:50,322
It's gonna
be dope, it's gonna be awesome.
647
00:27:50,391 --> 00:27:51,957
- We've been waiting for it all week.
- Yeah.
648
00:27:52,026 --> 00:27:53,291
You're gonna kill it.
I'm very, very excited.
649
00:27:53,360 --> 00:27:54,526
- How you feel?
- I'm excited.
650
00:27:54,595 --> 00:27:56,695
Anxious, but excited.
651
00:27:56,764 --> 00:27:58,997
Jamal, you told
me you were using my song.
652
00:27:59,066 --> 00:28:00,699
You'll kill it. Oh, this is my mom.
653
00:28:00,768 --> 00:28:02,501
- This is Cookie Lyon.
- Oh, hi. Caitlin Peters.
654
00:28:02,569 --> 00:28:04,136
Hi, how are you? Nice to
meet you. Pleasure. I'm well.
655
00:28:04,204 --> 00:28:05,937
Uh, do you mind if I
have a word with my son?
656
00:28:06,006 --> 00:28:07,172
Of course, not at all. Break a leg.
657
00:28:07,241 --> 00:28:08,740
Thank you. Thank you so much.
658
00:28:08,809 --> 00:28:10,375
What is this? No, no, no, Jamal,
659
00:28:10,444 --> 00:28:11,810
why did you bring me up in here
660
00:28:11,879 --> 00:28:13,111
when you knew you invited Lucious, too?
661
00:28:13,180 --> 00:28:14,913
Cookie, have a seat, please. Sit down.
662
00:28:14,982 --> 00:28:17,215
What the hell is she doing
here? See, what'd I tell you?
663
00:28:17,284 --> 00:28:18,917
I swear to God, I'm not
doing this with y'all today.
664
00:28:18,986 --> 00:28:20,419
Because he is my son, too.
I'm not. Lucious, Cookie...
665
00:28:20,487 --> 00:28:21,953
You're using my song?
No, you using my song.
666
00:28:22,022 --> 00:28:23,789
Sit down. Now. I didn't
know. You want the outside?
667
00:28:23,857 --> 00:28:25,323
Oh, yes, thank you. You can have it.
668
00:28:25,392 --> 00:28:27,092
Thank you, y'all. I'm so
happy. Thank you so much.
669
00:28:27,161 --> 00:28:28,527
Have a good show, baby. Yes.
All right. I love you, too, Dad.
670
00:28:28,595 --> 00:28:29,995
We love you. Mama, Daddy right here before you.
671
00:28:30,064 --> 00:28:31,697
Sorry, pardon me. Oh,
you're such a gentleman.
672
00:28:31,765 --> 00:28:33,699
Have a seat. Thank you.
673
00:28:39,173 --> 00:28:41,573
That's what I'm talking about.
674
00:28:45,846 --> 00:28:47,746

Excuse me, fellas. Thank you. Yes.

Thank you.
916
00:40:19,535 --> 00:40:21,301
Candace, can you not show up around here
917
00:40:21,370 --> 00:40:22,969
acting like you at the Cherry Hill Mall,
918
00:40:23,038 --> 00:40:23,970
embarrassing me?
919
00:40:24,039 --> 00:40:25,505
Oh, stop it.
920
00:40:25,574 --> 00:40:28,175
You know I wouldn't be
here if it wasn't serious.
921
00:40:28,243 --> 00:40:29,776
Oh, okay, well, then what is it?
922
00:40:29,845 --> 00:40:31,945
Our sister is on a bender.
923
00:40:32,014 --> 00:40:35,115
And? What she smoked don't make me choke.
924
00:40:35,184 --> 00:40:38,351
Child, that's what you came
all the way up here to tell me?
925
00:40:38,420 --> 00:40:41,354
If 17 years of prison taught you anything,
926
00:40:41,423 --> 00:40:43,790
it's definitely how to dress like a monkey
927
00:40:43,859 --> 00:40:45,292
and talk like a pimp.
928
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,127
- It's our sister!
- Look, hold on.
929
00:40:47,196 --> 00:40:48,995
You know, just when I thought
930
00:40:49,064 --> 00:40:52,599
nothing could make this
night get good, you showed up.
931
00:40:52,668 --> 00:40:54,367
Thank you.
932
00:40:56,438 --> 00:40:57,704
You're welcome, Lucious.
933
00:40:59,708 --> 00:41:02,375
You know, I never did like
your fake ass, Candace.
934
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:06,813
Yeah, you show up around here like
935
00:41:06,882 --> 00:41:08,215
you all concerned about Carol.
936
00:41:08,283 --> 00:41:10,016
I am. No, you're not.
937
00:41:10,085 --> 00:41:13,620
The first thing you do is get
to talking slick out your mouth.
938
00:41:13,689 --> 00:41:15,322
Real greasy,
939
00:41:15,390 --> 00:41:18,291
looking down your nose
at me like you ain't from
940
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:21,795
the same hood I'm from,
married to your white man.
941
00:41:21,864 --> 00:41:22,896
And he's rich.
942
00:41:22,965 --> 00:41:25,498
I can't tell by them cheap-ass shoes.
943
00:41:25,567 --> 00:41:27,200
Okay. If your bougie ass
944
00:41:27,269 --> 00:41:29,202
called your family more often,
945
00:41:29,271 --> 00:41:32,405
maybe you'd know Carol
ain't nothing but a scammer.
946
00:41:32,474 --> 00:41:35,041
All she does is run game, trying to scam
947
00:41:35,110 --> 00:41:36,243
a hot dollar.
948
00:41:36,311 --> 00:41:37,844
The only thing that's new is that
949
00:41:37,913 --> 00:41:39,312
she got your number instead of mine.
950
00:41:40,549 --> 00:41:41,882
Welcome back to the family, Candace.
951
00:41:41,950 --> 00:41:43,850
She left her kids.
952
00:41:43,919 --> 00:41:45,919
What? Yeah.
953
00:41:45,988 --> 00:41:48,555
She dumped them at my house with a note,
954
00:41:48,624 --> 00:41:51,825
saying that this was all
Cookie and Jermel's fault.
955
00:41:53,795 --> 00:41:55,362
What have you done, Loretha?
956
00:41:58,100 --> 00:41:59,933
What have you done?!
957
00:42:00,002 --> 00:42:02,235
Look, come on. We-we got to go to Philly.
958
00:42:02,304 --> 00:42:04,404
Philly?! Yes, Philly!
959
00:42:08,410 --> 00:42:10,844
There go your car, babe.
I'll see you tomorrow.
960
00:42:13,448 --> 00:42:16,383
You sure you don't want
me to come home with you?
961
00:42:16,451 --> 00:42:18,051
Don't make that face.
962
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,520
Yeah, I do, but I want to
make sure we right first.
963
00:42:20,589 --> 00:42:23,023
Okay.
964
00:42:29,932 --> 00:42:31,932
Be safe.
965
00:42:36,171 --> 00:42:37,537
All right.
966
00:42:37,606 --> 00:42:39,539
Where to?
967
00:42:39,608 --> 00:42:42,142
163rd and Seventh.
968
00:42:42,210 --> 00:42:44,144
Got you.
969
00:42:44,212 --> 00:42:46,546
Buckle up.
