00:00:02,035 --> 00:00:04,230
DRE: Everyone's got a family tree.
2
00:00:04,304 --> 00:00:07,432
A record of who they are
and where they come from.
3
00:00:07,507 --> 00:00:11,705
Ancient branches that reach back
in time to the deepest roots of identity.
4
00:00:12,479 --> 00:00:14,344
Okay. Maybe not that deep.
5
00:00:14,647 --> 00:00:16,581

6
00:00:16,649 --> 00:00:18,082
Hope you love summer school, friend.
7
00:00:18,151 --> 00:00:20,483
Can we beef up our family tree
with dead pets?
8
00:00:20,553 --> 00:00:21,542
Won't help.
9
00:00:21,621 --> 00:00:24,112
Lyla Chilton's family
came here on the Mayflower.
10
00:00:24,190 --> 00:00:26,681
Hey, you tell your teacher
we sailed over on a boat, too.
11
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,490
But unlike Lyla Chilton's family,
we came with a receipt.
12
00:00:29,562 --> 00:00:30,790
- Dre.
- Hey!
13
00:00:30,864 --> 00:00:32,991
It's not my fault nobody shows any love
14
00:00:33,066 --> 00:00:35,398
to the history of
the enslaved and the oppressed.
15
00:00:35,468 --> 00:00:38,437
All we get is a boring
mini-series every 400 years.
16
00:00:38,638 --> 00:00:40,503
Well, babies, I know a lot
about your heritage.
17
00:00:40,573 --> 00:00:42,541
I actually did a genetic swab once.
18
00:00:42,609 --> 00:00:44,577
- Let me see if I still have that e-mail.
- Swab.
19
00:00:44,644 --> 00:00:47,340
They don't need no damn Q-tip
telling them where they're from.
20
00:00:47,414 --> 00:00:51,214
Pops, DNA analysis is amazing.
You get a whole rundown.
21
00:00:51,284 --> 00:00:53,275
Oh, oh! Here it is. Here it is.
22
00:00:53,353 --> 00:00:54,479
Okay, put this on my part, okay?
23
00:00:54,554 --> 00:00:57,853
23% Yoruba, 19% Gaelic,
24
00:00:57,924 --> 00:01:02,486
and no doubt for some
horrific reason, 1% Mongol.
25
00:01:02,562 --> 00:01:04,723
Ha! That's where you're from.
26
00:01:05,465 --> 00:01:08,525
- A weird, old-timey five spot.
- Mmm-hmm.
27
00:01:08,601 --> 00:01:10,728
Thanks, but we'll just eat the "F."
28

Oh. Okay.
29
00:01:12,138 --> 00:01:14,299
Guess you don't want to hear
about how your Pops' Pops' Pops
30
00:01:14,374 --> 00:01:17,036
used that to bet
the future of our whole family
31
00:01:17,110 --> 00:01:18,975
against a notorious
and ruthless gangster.
32
00:01:19,045 --> 00:01:20,376
A gangster?
33
00:01:20,447 --> 00:01:21,641
Oh, no. Go ahead. Go ahead.
34
00:01:21,714 --> 00:01:24,046
Watch another one of your
SpongeBob ShirtPants.
35
00:01:24,117 --> 00:01:27,450
Okay, guys. Buckle up.
You're in for a real Pops special.
36
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,047
It all went down in the year
of our Lord 19 and 27,
37
00:01:31,124 --> 00:01:32,716
during the Harlem Renaissance.
38
00:01:32,792 --> 00:01:35,625
Oh, those dudes are hilarious
39
00:01:35,695 --> 00:01:37,856
with their trick dunks
and the confetti bucket!
40
00:01:37,931 --> 00:01:39,023
Agreed.
41
00:01:39,099 --> 00:01:41,761
But what I'm talking about,
baby boy, is a golden age
42
00:01:41,835 --> 00:01:44,463
when black writers
and artists and musicians
43
00:01:44,537 --> 00:01:48,200
planted our cultural flag deep
in the soul of this country.
44
00:01:48,942 --> 00:01:50,933
I don't mean
your great-great-grandpa Drexler.
45
00:01:51,010 --> 00:01:53,808
He was just a butt-ugly dope
who delivered ice.
46
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,110
- Looked a lot like your dad.
- DRE: Thanks, Pops.
47
00:01:56,182 --> 00:02:00,118
POPS: But one of his regular stops
was the legendary Savoy Club.

49
00:02:06,292 --> 00:02:08,089
It was electric, children.
50
00:02:08,161 --> 00:02:10,391
The hottest dancers
wowed them every night.
51
00:02:12,098 --> 00:02:16,535
The gents came for the dames.
The dames came for the game.
52
00:02:18,938 --> 00:02:22,840
Running it all, a shrewd
and moody gangster, Elroy Savoy.
53
00:02:22,909 --> 00:02:25,537
Send two women and four bottles
to the G-men at table 6,
54
00:02:25,612 --> 00:02:26,874
and do something about this music.
55
00:02:26,946 --> 00:02:28,140
This music is terrible.
56
00:02:29,549 --> 00:02:30,743
Keep it the same but different.
57
00:02:31,751 --> 00:02:32,775
Hey, ice boy.
58
00:02:33,486 --> 00:02:37,183
Uh, excuse me, did you say
"Ice boy" or "Ass boy"?
59
00:02:37,257 --> 00:02:39,020
What I said is next time
you come through here,
60
00:02:39,092 --> 00:02:40,559
use the service corridor.
61
00:02:40,627 --> 00:02:42,424
You're dripping all over my rug.
62
00:02:42,495 --> 00:02:44,656
I caught malaria in Peru
looking for this rug.
63
00:02:44,731 --> 00:02:46,392
I ain't peed the same since.
64
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:48,389
Okay.
65
00:02:48,468 --> 00:02:49,992
POPS: The only one
who could warm Elroy
66
00:02:50,069 --> 00:02:53,038
was the soulful songbird
Mirabelle Chalet.
67
00:02:54,174 --> 00:02:55,801
Hey, baby, you looking fine.
68
00:02:55,875 --> 00:02:57,399
Well, you ain't got to tell me that.
69
00:02:57,477 --> 00:02:58,910
Right.
70
00:02:58,978 --> 00:03:02,243
But seriously, I... I do look good, don't I?
71
00:03:02,315 --> 00:03:03,612
You look great.
72
00:03:03,683 --> 00:03:05,378
I know, but you think I need to change?
73
00:03:05,451 --> 00:03:07,146
'Cause I got something in
the back that's a little better.

POPS: But the hippest cat in the joint
75

was the legendary sports bookie
Bippy Barnes.

You're saying,
"You bet your sweet Bippy"

00:03:35,148 --> 00:03:36,581
came from a bookie named Bippy?
84
00:03:36,649 --> 00:03:38,116
Who's telling the story?
85
00:03:38,184 --> 00:03:40,049
- All right. Oh.
- And besides, that's not the point.
86
00:03:40,119 --> 00:03:42,212
The point is that
ice wasn't the main reason
87
00:03:42,288 --> 00:03:43,721
that Drex was at the Savoy.
88
00:03:43,790 --> 00:03:46,588
- He was there for Bea.
- Who's Bea?
89

She looked just like your mama.

- Oh.
- Pops, that don't even make sense, man.
96

Not here. Way too many eyes.

at least have the decency
to chop him up in little pieces,
349

351

for cats to eat your face.

a chance at taking him down.

- Whatever.
515
00:21:05,764 --> 00:21:07,664
Aunt Zora invented texting.
516
00:21:07,733 --> 00:21:09,963
All right, all right, all right,
everybody listen up.
517
00:21:10,035 --> 00:21:12,026
Listen up, listen up.
518
00:21:13,305 --> 00:21:15,000
I've got a story to tell.
519
00:21:15,073 --> 00:21:16,267
I bet you do.
520
00:21:16,341 --> 00:21:19,037
It's about your
great-great-great-grandma.
521
00:21:19,544 --> 00:21:22,012
Aunt Jemima.
522
00:21:22,447 --> 00:21:23,539
What? Did she...
523
00:21:23,615 --> 00:21:26,948
RUBY: Oh, she was big, she was black,
and she was beautiful.
524
00:21:27,019 --> 00:21:29,544
- A lot like your grandma Ruby.
- (BOTH LAUGHING)
525
00:21:29,621 --> 00:21:31,987
DRE: So, the twins had
plenty of information
526
00:21:32,057 --> 00:21:33,957
for their family-history project.
527
00:21:34,026 --> 00:21:35,391
Would their teacher buy it?
528
00:21:35,994 --> 00:21:37,757
Do you think this is a joke?
529
00:21:37,829 --> 00:21:39,558
DRE: Not at all. They got the "F."
530
00:21:40,032 --> 00:21:43,024
But the point is, there is a story to tell.
531
00:21:43,101 --> 00:21:47,333
The story of us, our family, our culture.
532
00:21:47,406 --> 00:21:50,136
The details of the story
might change over time,
533
00:21:50,208 --> 00:21:52,802
but the important thing is we tell it.
534
00:21:52,878 --> 00:21:54,072
(DINGS)
535
00:21:56,500 --> 00:22:04,500
