175
00:08:40,311 --> 00:08:42,146
I always thought about
going on tour with you,

176

two different vibes."

196
00:09:28,234 --> 00:09:31,821
"I wish I had a color TV so I could see
the Knicks play basketball,"

197
00:09:31,904 --> 00:09:34,156
when hip-hop started,
we just wanted a small…

198
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,201
We just wanted crumbs, you know?
Just a color TV!

199
00:09:39,579 --> 00:09:41,872
[Sean] I started out delivering
newspapers when I was 12.

200
00:09:41,956 --> 00:09:44,000
Cleaning gas station bathrooms.

201
00:09:44,083 --> 00:09:45,376
And then I was a busboy.

202
00:09:45,459 --> 00:09:47,336
Then I was a doorman.

203
00:09:47,420 --> 00:09:51,007
Anything I could do to get on
'cause I wanted my dream, like, so bad,

204
00:09:51,090 --> 00:09:53,968
I was willing to do anything to get to it.

205
00:09:54,677 --> 00:09:56,637
I sold drugs for like a day.

206
00:09:57,263 --> 00:10:00,766
And I got chased by helicopters,
doors got kicked down.

207
00:10:00,850 --> 00:10:03,394
Probably like the unluckiest day
for a drug dealer.

208
00:10:03,477 --> 00:10:06,981
I just knew that I was gon' be
in the music industry,

209
00:10:07,064 --> 00:10:09,025
so I wanna go to the home of the flyness,

210
00:10:09,108 --> 00:10:11,652
I wanna go to Uptown MCA Records,
I wanna learn,

211
00:10:11,736 --> 00:10:12,903
and I was gon' be

212
00:10:12,987 --> 00:10:14,614

Puff was talking to me about,
"I looked at Def Jam,

I looked up at Uptown,

the genius of Andre.

He empowered the right people
with the right dreams and the right ideas.

238
00:11:14,882 --> 00:11:18,052
[Andre] Uptown was the home
of ghetto fabulous,

239
00:11:18,135 --> 00:11:21,347
and nobody loved ghetto fabulous like him.

240
00:11:22,306 --> 00:11:25,476
[Sean] Back in the late '80s,
it was rough.

241
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,812
It was rough out there,
but it was Blackness

242
00:11:27,895 --> 00:11:30,690
in its full hip-hop, go-go,

243
00:11:30,773 --> 00:11:32,942
in its full splendor and glory.

244
00:11:33,526 --> 00:11:36,362
And, honestly, that was the birth
of hip-hop soul,

245
00:11:36,445 --> 00:11:39,323
and so that gave birth
to the way I heard music

246
00:11:39,407 --> 00:11:40,825
and the way I saw fashion.

247
00:11:40,908 --> 00:11:42,952

"Come & Talk to Me." Jodeci.

[Mary] The biggest thing I took from Puff

263
00:12:18,821 --> 00:12:21,490
was to not be afraid

264
00:12:21,574 --> 00:12:23,951
or be apologetic for what I was.

Know what I'm sayin'?

339
00:15:23,672 --> 00:15:27,301
[Sean] Y'all not-- If you can't see
my face, you're in the wrong place.

340
00:15:27,384 --> 00:15:29,428
You have to fix your energy.

341
00:15:29,511 --> 00:15:30,721
It's not-- That's not--

342
00:15:30,804 --> 00:15:33,182
You have to fix your energy,
else you have to go.

343
00:15:33,265 --> 00:15:35,809
You have to fix your energy.
That's all I'm asking. Out of respect.

344
00:15:35,893 --> 00:15:37,436
-Fix your energy.
-I didn't say anything.

345
00:15:37,519 --> 00:15:40,439
So go for a walk, fix your energy.
'Cause I'm not feeling it.

346
00:15:40,522 --> 00:15:43,400
Fix your energy, brother.
We got work to do. For real.

347

[Sean] I was 19, I was a millionaire.

348
00:15:46,195 --> 00:15:47,947
I had a lot of power.

349
00:15:48,030 --> 00:15:50,699
I was the introduction
of the young executive.

350
00:15:51,617 --> 00:15:54,078
And I didn't know
how to work well with others.

351
00:15:54,161 --> 00:15:57,289
Yo, dawg, what are you talking 'bout?
You telling me that I'm on some bullshit?

352
00:15:57,373 --> 00:16:00,668
I ain't on no bullshit wit' you.
I don't want no problems! Come on!

354
00:16:02,461 --> 00:16:05,089
Puff got fired because Puff was crazy.

355
00:16:05,172 --> 00:16:07,925
Puff would walk around the office
with his shirt off.

356
00:16:08,008 --> 00:16:11,804
I'mma be so drunk or high by Wednesday,
8:00, I'm not gonna gon' give a fuck.

357
00:16:11,887 --> 00:16:13,055
But I give a fuck.

358
00:16:13,138 --> 00:16:15,557
[Andre] I would have to get him
out of trouble.

359
00:16:15,641 --> 00:16:19,770
And one day, I come in and have
an argument with the general manager,

360
00:16:19,853 --> 00:16:22,106
and he's like the mid-forties, white man.

Mm-hmm.

That's not how I want it.
Can I see it? Please?

372
00:16:50,175 --> 00:16:53,053
[Sean] I just didn't understand
conflict resolution.

373
00:16:53,137 --> 00:16:55,097
I didn't understand the corporate culture.

374
00:16:55,180 --> 00:16:58,517
I just knew that I was fighting
for the artists

375
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,729
and the greater good
of Black artists worldwide.

-Hardcore.
-MCA Records?

379
00:17:07,985 --> 00:17:09,695
Yeah, Uptown. Bad Boy Management.

380
00:17:09,778 --> 00:17:13,240
When Puff delivered me
the Biggie album to MCA,

381
00:17:13,323 --> 00:17:16,118
the president's assistant heard it,

382
00:17:16,201 --> 00:17:18,120
and she was like, "We can't put that out."

383
00:17:18,203 --> 00:17:20,789
[man] Those that produce
these types of records

384
00:17:20,873 --> 00:17:21,999
have a responsibility.

385
00:17:22,082 --> 00:17:24,084
They can't just hide behind free speech,

386
00:17:24,168 --> 00:17:28,005
and I hope in the future
that they will exercise better concern

387
00:17:28,088 --> 00:17:30,716
for what these records will do
on the street.

388
00:17:30,799 --> 00:17:33,802
I was thinking to myself,
"How is this secretary gonna dictate

389
00:17:33,886 --> 00:17:35,179
what the label puts out,

390
00:17:35,262 --> 00:17:38,140
and why are they putting me in the middle
of a generation's voice?"

391
00:17:38,223 --> 00:17:40,100
[Sean] It was such a culture shock.

392
00:17:40,184 --> 00:17:42,686
I know that what I'm doing is gon' change
the whole game.

393
00:17:42,770 --> 00:17:45,439
I know what I'm doing
is helping to change the world.

394
00:17:45,522 --> 00:17:47,399
I was like ready to die for this thing.

395
00:17:47,483 --> 00:17:49,359
[Andre] And Puff gassed me up.

396
00:17:49,443 --> 00:17:51,737
Like, "Why is the white man
talking to you like this, Dre?"

397
00:17:51,820 --> 00:17:53,322
[Sean] MCA was a corporation,

398
00:17:53,405 --> 00:17:56,408
and so they forced Andre
to make a decision.

399
00:17:56,492 --> 00:17:58,077
[Andre] When Puff got fired,

400
00:17:58,994 --> 00:18:00,329
he was on payroll,

401
00:18:00,829 --> 00:18:02,247
and his artists were on payroll.

402
00:18:02,331 --> 00:18:03,957
He's still recording his artists,

403
00:18:04,041 --> 00:18:06,043
and he was able to go
and find the best deal.

404
00:18:06,126 --> 00:18:08,629
So I never fired him to hurt him.

405
00:18:08,712 --> 00:18:10,839
I fired him, and basically made him rich.

[man] I didn't know that much about Puffy.

409
00:18:17,429 --> 00:18:18,889
I did take the meeting.

that he had the vision

413
00:18:25,395 --> 00:18:27,648
that a hip hop revolution was coming.

414
00:18:27,731 --> 00:18:30,734

Just keepin' it real and listening to all
the people and the viewers out there.

416
00:18:33,987 --> 00:18:36,782

418
00:18:39,451 --> 00:18:40,577
I was skeptical.
