00:00:21And you don't stop, and you don't quit.
00:00:27Now I'm a man with a plan in the b-boy stance, and all the ladies in the jam know
00:00:31who I am, but the power to make it move when I write a groove, I don't snooze, I kick
00:00:36it off nice and smooth, and when the beat goes down, feet hit the ground, the breakers start spinning all
00:00:41round and round, and if the body don't stop, cause we don't stop, we just rock, you feel it, we
00:00:46don't need those drops.
00:00:55Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on...
00:01:05Are you in the street? Are you in the street?
00:01:08No, no, no, no, no.
00:01:11Leave her alone. Sorry leave her alone.
00:01:14Look at me.
00:01:15Oh, Graham..
00:01:25No! No, Lisa! Stop! Stop!
00:01:28Stop!
00:01:29He's hurting your mommy! No! He's calling the cops!
00:01:32No! Lisa! I won't do that to your father!
00:01:59Man, I hate moving. Daddy's gonna be pissed that we gone.
00:02:02Hey, grab those boxes and put them in the living room.
00:02:04We gotta get the truck back in an hour, so hurry up!
00:02:08Take those damn headphones off!
00:02:10Didn't you learn your lesson about having those things on?
00:02:11You're not my father. You weren't even there.
00:02:13Why do you think we're moving now? And I was working.
00:02:15Yeah, you're always working, Eladio.
00:02:17Because I've got to. Maybe I wouldn't have to if our pops was worth a damn, huh?
00:02:21Who's gonna take care of this family if not me? You?
00:02:25I do what I got to to help mommy.
00:02:27And the best way you can help is to stop daydreaming and think about how you can pitch in around
00:02:31here.
00:02:32I'm not gonna have mommy working three jobs while you're in La La Land.
00:02:45What the fuck?
00:02:55What's up?

00:06:20One day I'll be so rich, Mommy.
00:06:22I'm going to take care of you.
00:06:23I'm going to buy you a new car.
00:06:27Mamita, the only thing I want you to do is to take care of yourself.
00:06:32Don't ever count on anybody taking care of you, OK?
00:06:37Yeah.
00:06:39But if you just so happen to be rich, I want to come first.
00:06:43Beat that.
00:06:46Ay, I got to go.
00:06:47You come straight home after work, OK?
00:06:50Yeah.
00:06:50I love you, Mommy.
00:06:52I love you.
00:06:55I love you, Mommy.
00:06:57I love you, Mommy.
00:06:57I love you, Mommy.
00:07:01I hear you're boys with Jellybean.
00:07:03Yeah, we got way back.
00:07:05What was Jellybean?
00:07:07It's the main DJ at the boombox basement.
00:07:09Where it has it.
00:07:10You just got Madonna.
00:07:11Oh.
00:07:12Where this one?
00:07:13Can you introduce me?
00:07:14To Jelly?
00:07:15No, Deron Reagan.
00:07:16Yeah.
00:07:17It's her thing, but you know in this city, nothing's free.
00:07:20Especially when it comes to Jellybean.
00:07:22What do you want?
00:07:30Hell no.
00:07:31Jellybean's always got any funny talent.
00:07:33Besides, Guy won't go unless you come with us.
00:07:35Shit, I don't even like him like that.
00:07:36Girl, who said you're going to be into him?
00:07:38Just pretend it's an extra long trip in the stock room.
00:07:41Is your brother even going to let you go?
00:07:42Of course he will.
00:07:43Why wouldn't he?
00:07:44Girl, I run the show at home.
00:07:47Hell no.
00:07:48Why?
00:07:50Hilario!
00:07:50Please!
00:07:51No.
00:07:52You know how many pervs and weirdos go to places like that to pick up on young girls?
00:07:55You're going to be with me.
00:07:57It's a bar.
00:07:58You're 15.
00:07:59It's seen that there won't be an alcohol.
00:08:01Hilario, stop and listen to me.
00:08:05I'm going to live and die in this neighborhood and never be nothing.
00:08:09I want to take care of mommy one day.
00:08:12What's that got to do with this club?
00:08:13There are going to be people there who can help me.
00:08:16Give me a shot at singing.
00:08:17There you go.
00:08:18Head in the sky again.
00:08:20I'll take out the trash for a month.
00:08:47I'm going to be standing on count.
00:08:48Just want to have a good time.
00:08:50I think you're just fine.
00:08:51All I need is 30 seconds.
00:08:52I'm going to rock my ground.
00:08:53Get my brush to the down.
00:08:54Is that him?
00:08:55Can you introduce me?
00:08:57I don't know him like that.
00:09:01I thought you said he was your horse.
00:09:02I know who he is.
00:09:04He's a set.
00:09:05Try to get us into the green room.
00:09:07He's gone.
00:09:10I figure out myself.
00:09:12I'm going home.
00:09:13I'm going home.
00:09:13I've got homework to do.
00:09:19Damn.
00:09:19My bad.
00:09:33Man, what's up?
00:09:36We don't mind the talking, parlay all day, I went off it, we played offense, y'all on defense,
00:09:41Fox and you pretend, I'm getting even, we get rocket, beat the boys in the place, getting down to the
00:09:46break,
00:09:46and another group's face, we get rocket, one time a song, going from the Bay Bay to the Irving Park,
00:09:52we get rocket, not the time for the chat, I'm doing my dance all across the mountain, we get rocket,
00:09:57I'm O-C-K-I-N-G, and I suggest you don't mess with me.
00:10:02You're going to sneak backstage, take the tray.
00:10:04What?
00:10:05Take the tray.
00:10:12I mentioned it.
00:10:17How much?
00:10:18Duh.
00:10:20Duh, come on.
00:10:21Those are the prices.
00:10:23Inflation, my man, you got better options, I suggest you get to it, I got business going on here.
00:10:39I hear you help singers.
00:10:43Singers?
00:10:44Nah, I help artists.
00:10:48If they're worth it.
00:10:50Well, I'm worth it.
00:10:52The best damn pipes, you're here all night.
00:10:55Okay, shawty.
00:10:59I'd say you blow.
00:11:02I got sunshine, light in my way.
00:11:06You're trying to be the clown, but just float away.
00:11:10Don't matter about the sticks and the stones, you say.
00:11:13Cause your world's about to flood and you're in my way.
00:11:17Cause I'm rolling.
00:11:19Rolling.
00:11:20Sounds good.
00:11:21Try to stop us, we just keep going.
00:11:24Ooh, ooh, ooh.
00:11:31All right.
00:11:33Fresh.
00:11:34I see ya.
00:11:36So what's your name?
00:11:37Lisa.
00:11:38Lisa Velez.
00:11:39All right, Lisa.
00:11:40Lisa Velez.
00:11:42How old are you?
00:11:4418.
00:11:46Who's bugging?
00:11:4915.
00:11:53Hmm.
00:11:55All right, Lisa.
00:11:58Leave me your digits.
00:12:11Come on, man.
00:12:12I just need a couple of intros.
00:12:13That's all.
00:12:16I told you, mamita.
00:12:18Ain't no one looking for a singer with your...
00:12:22look.
00:12:23What you mean?
00:12:24What's wrong with my look?
00:12:25Look, I love you the way you are.
00:12:28But these record executives, they start bugging about silly things like looks and image.
00:12:34But you know I can sing my ass off.
00:12:37I know it.
00:12:38But they don't.
00:12:40And you don't get past a record label without them thinking about your image.
00:12:44Or theirs.
00:12:46And besides, these record labels, they're full of whack-ass scam artists just waiting to take advantage of a young
00:12:53buck like you.
00:12:54I ain't exactly need no young buck.
00:12:57You still working with your pots?
00:12:59Sampling the product?
00:13:01It's homey.
00:13:02Oh.
00:13:03Failing only leads down one path.
00:13:05So help me get another path.
00:13:13Thank goodness.
00:13:17Yo, shorty.
00:13:19I heard you singing over there.
00:13:21It was fresh.
00:13:23You from around here?
00:13:24We're on the way.
00:13:25Tell's kitchen.
00:13:26Word.
00:13:27Well, look, I got this joint that I've been working on for a minute.
00:13:30Don't be pushing over.
00:13:32I'm trying to talk to her.
00:13:33You know what I'm saying?
00:13:34Just if you ain't even trying to holler at you, bro.
00:13:36Homie, I got a band, and we need a lead singer.
00:13:40Jellybean told me that she was looking.
00:13:42Got a few producers that are interested, you know, if you want to audition.
00:13:45My name's Mike Hughes.
00:13:47Here's my number and address to the recording studio.
00:13:50Play drums.
00:13:51Maybe we can make some music together.
00:13:54Just music, man.
00:13:55Time to go.
00:13:58You ain't going to know I listened to that guy.
00:14:00No, of course not.
00:14:02I know that.
00:14:09Robert, you know what I'm talking about to me is telling me this is really dope.
00:14:12I got this guitarist, he's really amazing.
00:14:14I got this girl, she's walking me.
00:14:15You know, she's going to be amazing, too.
00:14:17Hold up.
00:14:17This is her.
00:14:20Hey.
00:14:20Hey.
00:14:21There's someone I want you to meet.
00:14:22Come over here.
00:14:24This is Rocco.
00:14:25He's the manager.
00:14:26Hi.
00:14:27Rocco, we just need five minutes.
00:14:31You got three, Mike.
00:14:33Okay.
00:14:34Okay, Lisa, come on.
00:14:35I saw one I want you to meet.
00:14:36This is Spanador.
00:14:37Nice to meet you, Spanador.
00:14:38I heard you can sing.
00:14:39I heard you can play.
00:14:40Yeah, yeah, let's go.
00:14:42Did you practice the song?
00:14:43Mike wrote it.
00:14:44Yeah, I worked in the last night.
00:14:45Ready?
00:14:46Let's go.
00:14:48So, where do you think you're going?
00:14:50Record the song.
00:14:52Ah, no booth.
00:14:54One mic.
00:14:55See what you got.
00:14:57The booth.
00:14:58Come on, man.
00:15:01Guys.
00:15:02Hey.
00:15:02Just listen to me.
00:15:04Come on.
00:15:12Oh, baby, baby, it's just so, so cold and take you back.
00:15:18Are you down with me?
00:15:21All I need is your love, baby.
00:15:30Thanks.
00:15:32We'll let you know.
00:15:33All right.
00:15:33Come on, man.
00:15:34Let's give him another shot.
00:15:35Place of my time, right?
00:15:36We got to go.
00:15:36We got to talk to you.
00:15:39Hey.
00:15:41Why don't you play a song you know?
00:15:43Something you're comfortable with.
00:15:45Hey, guys.
00:15:46Back her up, whatever she wants.
00:15:48Yeah, of course.
00:15:51So, what you want to sing?
00:15:52Hey, guys.
00:15:53Let's give him another shot.
00:15:54Tell him she know.
00:16:03Hey, guys.
00:16:10Hey, guys.
00:16:12Hey, guys.
00:16:15Hey, guys.
00:16:15Hey, guys.
00:16:15Hey, guys.
00:16:16Hey, guys.
00:16:17Hey, guys.
00:16:22Hey, guys.
00:16:25It should have set the mood.
00:16:31When we're alone in your mind, only a fool
00:16:36will ever try to hide.
00:16:39Let your hold a stroke again, leave me in the air
00:16:43feeling high.
00:16:48Ha, ha, ha!
00:16:50Yeah!
00:16:52What about Hell's Kitchen's trio?
00:16:54Wow.
00:16:54No, that sounds like my abuel's band
00:16:56or something like that.
00:16:57I didn't think you could get any worse
00:16:58than your last suggestion, but...
00:17:00What?
00:17:01It's gotta be slick.
00:17:02It's gotta be, you know, something that screams
00:17:03we're all about culture, hip-hop, and music.
00:17:07And that we can jam.
00:17:08Yeah.
00:17:11Cult jam?
00:17:12That's fly.
00:17:14Mm-hmm.
00:17:14I got it.
00:17:16Lisa and cult jam.
00:17:18Okay.
00:17:19I'm feeling it.
00:17:20All right, Buck.
00:17:21It needs that extra flavor, you know?
00:17:23Because...
00:17:24Lisa ain't your everyday girl.
00:17:26That's what I'm saying.
00:17:26Mm-hmm.
00:17:27No.
00:17:28She's not.
00:17:30Oh.
00:17:30No, Lisa ain't your everyday girl.
00:17:33She's uniquely blessed.
00:17:35How about...
00:17:37Lisa...
00:17:38Lisa...
00:17:40and cult jam.
00:17:42Yo.
00:17:43That's fresh.
00:17:44Right?
00:17:45What you think, Lisa?
00:17:47Yeah, that's a joint.
00:17:49I'm down.
00:17:50We got a name.
00:17:51Lisa, Lisa, and cult jam.
00:17:54Lisa, Lisa, and cult jam.
00:17:56Lisa, Lisa, and cult jam.
00:18:01I like the bass and that progression.
00:18:04Welcome.
00:18:06You're welcome.
00:18:15Brothers are some of the best producers in town.
00:18:17This is Granberry.
00:18:19Thank you so much.
00:18:20Yes.
00:18:21Lisa, sweetheart.
00:18:25You're incredible.
00:18:26Wait, that sound?
00:18:27It's amazing.
00:18:29The men.
00:18:30The men are going to go gaga for you.
00:18:34I told you.
00:18:35Yeah, you did.
00:18:36So what's next?
00:18:38Tour?
00:18:39Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
00:18:42Typically, we test the song.
00:18:44See how it lands in different markets.
00:18:46Before we actually sign an artist.
00:18:49How do you do that?
00:18:51We send the record to a few friendly DJs in the UK.
00:18:54And we'll be right back with Radio FM UK.
00:19:03The label better not have sent me rubbish like the last time.
00:19:07That was pure yank nonsense.
00:19:10I mean, if it hits, we start talking contracts.
00:19:13If not, you know the music world is littered with one hit wonders.
00:19:19Who is this again, mate?
00:19:23A lot of them crash and burn.
00:19:25Don't worry.
00:19:27Rocco here's gonna make sure everything runs smoothly.
00:19:30Isn't that right, Rocco?
00:19:31Yep.
00:19:32So it's my job to book you gigs, find the producers, and work on promotions.
00:19:36Hey, mommy!
00:19:37Did you find it all right?
00:19:39Yeah.
00:19:40Hello, ma'am.
00:19:43Hello, mom.
00:19:45Pleasure to meet you.
00:19:46Me too.
00:19:47Barry Connor.
00:19:47I just have a few papers that need your signature.
00:19:51Let's step out for a second.
00:19:53Okay.
00:19:55I'll catch right up to you.
00:19:58Okay.
00:19:58Turn it back on, bro?
00:19:59Maybe, uh...
00:20:01You know that we can't proceed unless she signs, right?
00:20:05I mean, it's just too much risk with an underage artist.
00:20:08So walk her through it, okay?
00:20:11Oh, yeah.
00:20:13Do we need a lawyer or anything?
00:20:15No.
00:20:15The contracts are standard.
00:20:17New artist usually signed as is.
00:20:19Oh, cool.
00:20:23Let's run this.
00:20:24I love a beat.
00:20:30Please, mommy.
00:20:33No.
00:20:34I don't know him.
00:20:35I don't know what I'm signing.
00:20:37What if something happens?
00:20:38Nothing is gonna happen.
00:20:39I do, nana.
00:20:40I see how they look at you.
00:20:43I know what these men want.
00:20:44And it's not just your voice.
00:20:46No, you don't know what they want, mommy.
00:20:47Mira!
00:20:48Lisa.
00:20:50Everything okay?
00:20:51Yeah.
00:20:52We're almost done.
00:20:54All right.
00:20:55I mean, I'm a singer.
00:20:57I need to be singing.
00:21:00I can move us to a better neighborhood.
00:21:03And you won't even have to work anymore.
00:21:05Lisa, that's not your job.
00:21:08You once told me to never count on someone to take care of me.
00:21:13Hmm?
00:21:15You said to do it yourself.
00:21:17So this is me doing it myself.
00:21:44All right, we need to get you guys back in the studio right away.
00:21:48Contracts are signed.
00:21:51You go home, celebrate.
00:21:54Tomorrow we get to work.
00:21:56Come on.
00:21:56Go, mom.
00:21:57I gotta say the podcast.
00:21:58That's what I'm talking about.
00:22:00Come on.
00:22:01Hey, sweetheart.
00:22:02Sweetheart.
00:22:03Lisa.
00:22:03Can I talk to you a second?
00:22:05Yeah.
00:22:06There's a lot of work, time, and money that goes into making you a star.
00:22:10I need to make sure I'm not wasting any of that.
00:22:12So you're not pregnant or nothing, right?
00:22:16Pregnant?
00:22:18I'm 15.
00:22:19Like I said, there's a lot that goes into young stars.
00:22:22I need to make sure I'm not wasting it.
00:22:25I don't need a pregnant teenager on the road.
00:22:27You got me?
00:22:28Well, you don't have to worry about me, Mr. Khanna.
00:22:30I'm locked in.
00:22:31Good answer.
00:22:34And call me Barry.
00:22:37Yes, sir.
00:22:39Uh, Barry.
00:22:42I gotta go.
00:22:43My mom's waiting for me.
00:22:45Okay.
00:22:50Yo, Lisa, you ready?
00:22:52We gotta go!
00:22:57Yo, Lisa!
00:22:58We gotta go!
00:22:59Yeah, yeah, I'll be right there!
00:23:03Hi!
00:23:04Hurry up!
00:23:05Hurry up!
00:23:05We gotta get going!
00:23:06Let's get it now!
00:23:08I know.
00:23:14Huh?
00:23:14Oh, that's what was taking you so long, huh?
00:23:18Wow!
00:23:19Yo, Lisa, in a month, every girl's gonna be covering her eye trying to look just like you!
00:23:28Baby, I know you're wondering why I won't go over to your place.
00:23:35In California, Governor Jerry Brown won the Democratic nomination on the 160th day of 1982 in case you're coming.
00:23:41It's a time that some people were reminded that actors are people.
00:23:45So what does this mean for AIDS patients in this country?
00:23:49Pittsburgh beat the New York Mets.
00:23:50Hello, Pittsburgh.
00:23:51It's 6-2.
00:23:53And the Los Angeles Lakers won their second national basketball championship.

00:24:08I know!
00:24:11Yo, ain't that the band on TV?
00:24:13Oh, uh, what's up?
00:24:18Hi.
00:24:18Oh, thank you so much.
00:24:19Uh-huh.

00:24:34My name's Javi.
00:24:35Take my number.
00:24:36Mm-hmm.
00:24:46Yeah?
00:24:47Yeah.
00:24:53We got a problem with it?
00:24:54What?
00:24:56Put lives wrapped around the block, Lisa Lisa in a cult jam, a catapult and freestyle.
00:25:02From New York's underground clubs into mainstream fame, and they are about to go national, baby, on Top American Countdown.
00:25:08A show that has taken some of the hottest stars of today and catapulted them into the stratosphere.
00:25:14And today is Lisa Lisa's turn.
00:25:16This is that lover.
00:25:17You already know what it is.
00:25:19Back to you.
00:25:19Come on.
00:25:20Make some noise out here.
00:25:22Come on.
00:25:22Come on.
00:25:23Come on.
00:25:23Come on.
00:25:25Every home in America watches the bands on this show.
00:25:28And Chuck Ryder is a titan of the industry here.
00:25:31If you don't screw up tonight, America will love you by tomorrow.
00:25:37Come on.
00:25:38Hey.
00:25:39Where's Crafty at?
00:25:41All right, Starlings.
00:25:43It's show time.
00:25:47It feels like someone died in here.
00:25:51I'm just nervous.
00:25:52That's all?
00:25:54Are you ready?
00:25:58Yeah.
00:25:58Yeah.
00:25:59We're right here.
00:26:00Yeah.
00:26:01Come on.
00:26:02Okay.
00:26:02I meant just you.
00:26:04Chuck likes a little personal touch, a little pre-show interview.
00:26:09I'm sorry, fellas.
00:26:11But don't worry.
00:26:12You can watch her right here on the live feed.
00:26:15No, but we're a band.
00:26:17And you'll play as one.
00:26:18Just a quick chat before with you.
00:26:22Let's go.
00:26:29Ladies and gentlemen from Lisa, Lisa and Cult Jam.
00:26:32Please welcome Lisa, Lisa.
00:26:40I love you too.
00:26:46Welcome to the show.
00:26:48So, how are you doing today, Lisa?
00:26:50Well, I'm great.
00:26:50Very excited to be here.
00:26:52And how does it feel to be in this position?
00:26:54Well, it's a dream come true.
00:27:08Tony, I thought you weren't dealing.
00:27:10Look, I'm not, man.
00:27:11Right?
00:27:12I'm networking.
00:27:12You never know where the next gig's gonna come from.
00:27:14Besides, I think this dude right here knows some record execs.
00:27:16Right.
00:27:18Heh.
00:27:18Sure.
00:27:22Got a line on a gig.
00:27:24Word.
00:27:25An audition.
00:27:26New band looking for backup singers.
00:27:29But I'm not backup?
00:27:30Tony, no.
00:27:32But look where you are.
00:27:34It's gotta be this game.
00:27:37Hey.
00:27:38You wanna spend your whole life looking over your shoulder?
00:27:40Just cause it didn't work out last time doesn't mean you quit.
00:27:44Doesn't mean you stop trusting people.
00:27:47It's show business.
00:27:49It's the music game.
00:27:50And the music game takes time.
00:27:56Think about it?
00:27:57Think about it.
00:28:00All right.
00:28:01Peace.
00:28:02Peace.
00:28:07You ain't back.
00:28:08I ain't back.
00:28:09Not for long.
00:28:13Mike, listen, I got this.
00:28:16Figure it out.
00:28:17Spawn it off.
00:28:18We're just gonna go with number two.
00:28:19No, number two is not gonna work, bro.
00:28:20We need another audition.
00:28:22But she looks the best.
00:28:23It doesn't matter if she looks the best, bro.
00:28:24We need another audition.
00:28:25We don't have time for another audition.
00:28:27Well, I don't know what you want me to say, but not one of them blend with our sound.
00:28:30Word.
00:28:31What do we do, Alex?
00:28:32We're going two in a month.
00:28:33Well, we keep searching.
00:28:35We already behind on schedule.
00:28:37We either pick a team today or we push.
00:28:40The label not waiting on us.
00:28:43We got bands lined up right now that's ready to go.
00:28:46All right, Rocco.
00:28:46Just give me another hour.
00:28:47I can find some ladies.
00:28:48I'll go around to fit that Baptist.
00:28:50I'll find you a whole lot of girls who can sing best.
00:28:52Here we go again.
00:28:52Make an executive decision.
00:28:53We're going with number two.
00:28:54No, we're not going with number two.
00:28:55Are we going with number two?
00:28:56It's over.
00:28:57Are we going with two?
00:29:05I think I've seen Riley and Mark.
00:29:07While these tears broke down my eyes, staring out the window.
00:29:12Just can't believe it's done and gone, staring out the window.
00:29:31Hey, pack your bags, folks,
00:29:33because we going on tour.
00:29:37Cigarettes don't affect your voice?
00:29:39No.
00:29:40I mean, they actually give it a little raspy bass
00:29:42out of my heaven.
00:29:43Those things will kill you, you know.
00:29:44Well, whenever the government comes out with a study
00:29:46saying these are bad for you, I'll stop.
00:29:50I'm Lisa.
00:29:52Tony.
00:29:53How long have you been singing for?
00:29:55I grew up singing on street corners.
00:29:58Yeah, me too.
00:30:00Listen, you know it's not going to be what you think it is, right?
00:30:05What's that?
00:30:06I mean, this music industry.
00:30:08You know, it's just like the streets.
00:30:10Use it or it'll use you.
00:30:12So you've got to watch yourself.
00:30:13Everybody's going to try to take a piece of you
00:30:14and you can't let them.
00:30:16And where are you going?
00:30:18Look, I mean, most of these dudes want a backup singer
00:30:21that's something to look at.
00:30:23And I'm not that.
00:30:25Then why'd you come?
00:30:27Because I promised a friend.
00:30:29But I know the game.
00:30:33Don't smoke these menthols on the road.
00:30:36They'll mess up with your voice.
00:30:37And I can't have that.
00:30:41Whatever.
00:30:42I was trying to quit anyway.
00:30:45Hey.
00:30:46Go home.
00:30:47Pack a bag.
00:30:48Because it's going to be a ride.
00:30:57Come on, baby.
00:30:58Have a nice day.
00:31:00Yeah, baby.
00:31:00A little longer, okay?
00:31:01You got to go.
00:31:03Come on.
00:31:06I mean, what's this about?
00:31:08Come on, you got to...
00:31:09Baby, no, no, no.
00:31:11They're going to have to, you know,
00:31:13check my makeup again.
00:31:14Stop.
00:31:15I thought we had dinner plans tonight.
00:31:17Yo, this city's so crazy sometimes.
00:31:20I almost had to scrap with a bunch of teenagers.
00:31:22Excuse me.
00:31:23Okay.
00:31:23Signatures.
00:31:25Okay.
00:31:25More promotional tours means more papers to sign.
00:31:30Again?
00:31:31Hey, that's the life of a big star.
00:31:33Jesus Christ.
00:31:34Wow, a commercial?
00:31:36Yeah.
00:31:38We rearranged a few things so, you know,
00:31:41you could sneak it in.
00:31:43Well, I was supposed to go home after this set.
00:31:47I haven't seen my family in a year.
00:31:50This is a national commercial.
00:31:52It's a lot of money.
00:31:54I just...
00:31:55It's been concert after concert.
00:31:58You said you wanted to be a star, right?
00:32:00This is the pace you have to work at.
00:32:02So, give her creative control.
00:32:05Yeah, that's not the way we do things around here,
00:32:07but thanks.
00:32:08Do it anyway.
00:32:10Yeah.
00:32:11I want creative control.
00:32:13Lisa.
00:32:14I want to start putting my stamp on this.
00:32:16I want to get involved in the creative.
00:32:18I want to help with the set design
00:32:21and the choreography
00:32:21and to pick up the dancers, right?
00:32:24Yeah, she does it anyway.
00:32:33Of course.
00:32:34You'll be involved.
00:32:37Let's go!
00:32:38Let's get to work!
00:32:39Yo, sweetheart, are you ready or what?
00:32:40In a minute, baby.
00:32:41The record label needs you, all right?
00:32:43This is not the other way around.
00:32:44I want you.
00:32:45All right, perfect.
00:32:45You know what?
00:32:46I want to go.
00:32:47Hurry up.
00:32:48Hold on, man.
00:32:49Lisa, come on.
00:32:49Here's your hand right here.
00:32:51Typer, you ready?
00:32:51Come on.
00:32:52Let's go.
00:32:52Look at the camera.
00:32:53Three, two, one.
00:32:58Perfect.
00:32:58Hold on.
00:32:59Lisa, Lisa, Lisa.
00:33:00All right, hold on.
00:33:00A second.
00:33:01Can I get an idea, please?
00:33:02No.
00:33:03My idea is something.
00:33:04Tell us get some trios on.
00:33:06Are you for it?
00:33:06No, let me...
00:33:07No.
00:33:08All right, bro.
00:33:08You know she's not part of this group, right?
00:33:10What do you mean?
00:33:11Yo, I'm right here.
00:33:12You could say it to my face.
00:33:13I'm talking to Lisa.
00:33:14What's your problem?
00:33:15The problem is we don't need any more voices
00:33:17offering their opinions on music, fashion, and photo shoots.
00:33:21Fellas, let's take a little bit.
00:33:23What do you mean, break?
00:33:24Yeah, I had some flash spandex I wanted to flash, man.
00:33:27Oh, nobody want to see you in those spandex.
00:33:30You know, we're just going to focus on a few shots of Lisa alone.
00:33:33Why don't you guys go to craft service, grab a coffee?
00:33:39Hey, yo.
00:33:40This was your band, Mike.
00:33:42You got two little girls telling you what to do.
00:33:44One is just the background, same thing.
00:33:46One more time ago, I used to host and pray that I was fine.
00:33:49I'm going to go back there for those deals to this rom and fame.
00:33:52They ain't dreaming about the fame and the diamond.
00:33:55Come on, hold on a second, hold on a second.
00:33:57Okay.
00:33:58You're all good, man?
00:33:59Yeah, you're good.
00:33:59You're good?
00:34:00You're good?
00:34:08Yo, Rick.
00:34:09Let me talk to you for a second.
00:34:12Of course.
00:34:14I just want to make sure you know that we're a band.
00:34:17You know Lisa going to get all the attention since she's the lead singer.
00:34:21But anything that we should be doing, we should be doing together.
00:34:25Interviews.
00:34:26Photo shoots.
00:34:29Everything.
00:34:31Alright.
00:34:34Is that all?
00:34:40Yeah.
00:34:41Good to hear.
00:34:43Catch up with you on tour.
00:34:45Keep up the great work, fellas.
00:34:48This fantastic shoot today.
00:34:51Fantastic.
00:34:54Hit the beat now.
00:34:57That's dope.
00:34:58Why does she have to redo it?
00:35:00Yeah, I mean, it still needs a final mix, but we close, Tony.
00:35:02We close.
00:35:03We got it.
00:35:04We got it.
00:35:09Sounding good.
00:35:10Sounding good.
00:35:12What's going on?
00:35:13Hey, Lisa.
00:35:15You're crushing that track.
00:35:18Come join us.
00:35:20Okay.
00:35:23Guys, the label's happy.
00:35:25So I'm happy.
00:35:27That's good.
00:35:27I know I don't have to tell you things are different now.
00:35:31We're playing in bigger venues.
00:35:33You guys are going to be on the road longer.
00:35:34That means more money.
00:35:36Money.
00:35:37Hey.
00:35:38So you have to stay focused.
00:35:40You're not stars yet.
00:35:42Speak for yourself.
00:35:44I'm a star.
00:35:44I don't speak a star.
00:35:46All right, guys.
00:35:47Hey, great job today.
00:35:48Get out of here.
00:35:49See you tomorrow.
00:35:50Wait.
00:35:52Hey, I'm going to go to the camera.
00:35:53All right.
00:35:54Hey, Lisa, do you have a moment?
00:35:56Yeah, sure.
00:35:58It's business.
00:36:02Baby, I'll see you in a car in a second, yeah?
00:36:06I'll get the car.
00:36:10Don't be long.
00:36:10Baby.
00:36:14So, Rocco, I think...
00:36:15So I picked up some papers.
00:36:17I just need you to go over some of it.
00:36:20If you need help, I can go over it with you.
00:36:24Yeah, I can take a look at it later.
00:36:27I should probably get over it.
00:36:28Hey.
00:36:31I don't want to say what I asked you.
00:36:33Wait.
00:36:34Rocco, stop.
00:36:35That's looking good.
00:36:36Come here.
00:36:38Hey, what the hell are you doing?
00:36:39Rocco, stop.
00:36:40No, stop, Rocco.
00:36:42You're playing too much.
00:36:44Hey, Rocco.
00:36:45Wait, stop.
00:36:47What are you doing?
00:36:49What's that all about?
00:36:50Stop playing.
00:36:52You stop playing.
00:36:53Rocco, stop.
00:36:54I've been thinking about you.
00:36:56Stop, Rocco.
00:36:59You played too much.
00:37:02See you later.
00:37:18You good?
00:37:19Yeah.
00:37:21You sure?
00:37:22I said I'm good.
00:37:23Just leave me alone, okay?
00:37:24All right.
00:37:25Whatever.
00:37:25Jeez.
00:37:40You ready to go spend some money?
00:37:42Hell yeah.
00:37:43Yeah.
00:37:44Woo.
00:37:45That's a special body.
00:37:46Okay.
00:37:47That's gorgeous.
00:37:48Wow.
00:37:49Mm.
00:37:50No, this is it.
00:37:51Right?
00:37:52Oh, I love this card.
00:37:54What?
00:37:55What?
00:37:57I know.
00:37:57Do you take cash or check?
00:38:00Yeah, which one is it?
00:38:03Doesn't matter.
00:38:05I love this.

00:38:23Yeah.
00:38:28What did I expect?
00:38:32Giving you my heart and just play it up to the baby side.
00:38:36Can I go on, bro?
00:38:37Hey.
00:38:38Lisa, let's get out of here.
00:38:39Let's go.

00:38:43Nikki, can you find me this in a medium, please?
00:38:47You look amazing.
00:38:50Oh, my God.
00:38:51Where's the guy?
00:38:52How's it going?
00:38:52Have you been?
00:38:53We got to go.
00:38:53Oh, I'm sorry.
00:38:54I love you.
00:38:55Love you, too.
00:38:56I'm sorry.

00:39:10Please, I love you.
00:39:11It's the first time mommy will come see me.
00:39:14No, just get on the train and come on.
00:39:18Shh.
00:39:19Let me hear you.
00:39:20Mommy.
00:39:23Mommy.
00:39:24Mommy.
00:39:24Hi, Mom.
00:39:25Hi, Mom.
00:39:25Oh, I'm so glad you're here.
00:39:27You're beautiful.
00:39:28Oh, my God.
00:39:29You lost weight.
00:39:30I'm going to surprise for you.
00:39:31Oh, OK.
00:39:31Yeah?
00:39:32I'll show you after the show.
00:39:33Come here.
00:39:33OK.
00:39:39This is for you.
00:39:41What do you mean?
00:39:45It's yours.
00:39:47No, I can't believe this.
00:39:50Did you see what Lisa bought me?
00:39:52Oh, my God.
00:39:52Why did you do this?
00:39:53You know we were all saving up the bitch in and buy her a car.
00:39:56I know.
00:39:56I just wanted to do this for her.
00:39:57No, no, no.
00:39:58That's not the point.
00:39:59This is a little behind-
00:39:59Daniel, why can't you just be proud of me?
00:40:01For once in your life, didn't you just say,
00:40:03I'm proud of you, Lisa?
00:40:05Why can't you do that?
00:40:07It kills you to think that I can leave and do something more,
00:40:09and you're just stuck here.
00:40:10You don't know what you're talking about.
00:40:12Oh, my.
00:40:15Look at her.
00:40:16Just let her have this.
00:40:20Mommy, look at this.
00:40:22The power's here.
00:40:24Oh, I can check the glove company.
00:40:26Yeah.
00:40:34Well, what is that?
00:40:36This...
00:40:37This isn't...
00:40:38What is it?
00:40:41Well, thank you, God.
00:40:44Thank you, God.
00:40:47Glory to God.
00:40:49I bought the house.
00:40:52It's yours, Mommy.
00:40:53Oh, my God.
00:40:54Forever.
00:40:56No one can take it away from you.
00:40:59You don't gotta worry about anything ever again.
00:41:03Oh, my God.
00:41:04My mommy.
00:41:05Well, everything's just perfect now, isn't it?
00:41:09Eladio.
00:41:11Eladio!
00:41:14I love you, but I can't be sitting around waiting for you.
00:41:18You heard?
00:41:18Okay.
00:41:20You know how my job is.
00:41:21And I told you, you can come on the road with me.
00:41:24You know?
00:41:24I'm not gonna follow you around like a little pet, okay?
00:41:27I'm a man.
00:41:28I know.
00:41:28I know you are.
00:41:29And I need to work.
00:41:30Okay?
00:41:31And I've been trying to be supportive.
00:41:34Let me tell you something.
00:41:36When you're gone, I feel like my only job is to wait on the phone.
00:41:40Holly!
00:41:41And I mean, what?
00:41:42That's the only thing I've been doing these past few months?
00:41:45I'm surprised you remember it was my damn birthday.
00:41:49Yeah.
00:41:49I told you, I'm working.
00:41:52I don't know how many times we have to have the same argument over and over again.
00:41:56Does working include letting a bunch of guys all up in your grill?
00:41:59What the hell are you talking about?
00:42:02Let them touch you, feel all over you.
00:42:04Is that what you like?
00:42:05Okay, I don't know where this is coming from, but you bugging me.
00:42:07Oh yeah?
00:42:08I'm bugging?
00:42:11Stop.
00:42:12Javi, wait, wait!
00:42:14What?
00:42:15What do you want?
00:42:15What do you want?
00:42:16What do you want?
00:42:16What do you want from me?
00:42:18You want to be with me?
00:42:19Of course.
00:42:22Marry me.
00:42:25I love you.
00:42:27Okay?
00:42:27I do.
00:42:29But I don't want to sit here wondering if you're mine.
00:42:36Baby, I'm yours.
00:42:38Yeah.
00:42:39Then marry me.
00:42:40Marry me or I'll go home, pack my things and leave.
00:42:44Because as is, this isn't going to work.
00:42:51It's a choice.
00:42:54Okay.
00:42:58Okay.
00:43:00Really?
00:43:01Let's get married.
00:43:03It's okay.
00:43:06We're getting married?
00:43:08You out of your mind?
00:43:09What is your problem?
00:43:10Lisa, you guys are 20 years old.
00:43:13How do you, either of you know what a commitment is?
00:43:16You guys are just two kids playing house.
00:43:19Don't do this.
00:43:20Wait until you're older and out of this game.
00:43:22You don't understand, Eladio.
00:43:24No, no, no, no.
00:43:25I understand plenty.
00:43:26You trust people when you shouldn't.
00:43:28Mommy.
00:43:29Say something, por favor.
00:43:31Mamita, please.
00:43:33Why?
00:43:34Why do you want to get married so young?
00:43:37I love him, Mommy.
00:43:39Oh, you know it's love.
00:43:42Nana.
00:43:43You will find someone who will love you.
00:43:48You will.
00:43:50I saw it in my dreams.
00:43:52A man who will love you.
00:43:54Who you will have children with.
00:43:59But it's not Javi.
00:44:00It's not Javi.
00:44:08A friend where the baby is.
00:44:13We're going to go here.
00:44:16And all theacio de Roe.
00:44:23This is fun to teach Me Agu.
00:44:29It's fun to be spies.
00:44:44Lisa Lisa of Lisa Lisa and the Colt Jam began simply as Lisa, a young Puerto Rican girl who
00:44:51dreamed of being a singing sensation. That dream started to come true in 1985 when a music producer
00:44:57group when looking for a female lead and stumbled across the 16-year-old singing. In that same year,
00:45:03they renamed the band Lisa Lisa and Colt Jam producing three top-selling hits which brought
00:45:09the band to platinum status. Both Lisa and the band attribute their success to their streetwise sound.
00:45:20Lisa Lisa has been compared with other top-selling artists such as Debbie Gibson, Paula Abdul and even
00:45:25Madonna. Their most recently released album is purposefully called Straight to the Top,
00:45:32a place where Lisa Lisa and Colt Jam hope to be for a very long time.
00:45:38Man, I'm glad I ain't got no sisters. Wake up. There they are.
00:45:52Okay, listen. Shaving is like farming. You better start with little strokes and go up each side.
00:46:00Like that. I can't believe you never did this before. Don't you have sisters?
00:46:09No. You got me now. Hello? Oh, hey, babe. Of course, I'm in my hotel room. Where else would I
00:46:18be?
00:46:28Oh. All right. I'll be home in two weeks.
00:46:37Okay. I love you.
00:46:47He's going out with his boys again, huh? Yeah.
00:46:54It's the third time this week. I mean, I think it's funny, huh? He always wants to know where you're
00:46:57at,
00:46:57but you never ask him where he's going. No need. I trust him.
00:47:02Javi! I'm home!
00:47:06I'm home!
00:47:16Baby!
00:47:32Javi!
00:47:34Oh!
00:47:50You know, if Barry finds out...
00:47:52I know.
00:47:56Are you sure it was positive?
00:47:58Like, does your mom know?
00:48:01What'd she say?
00:48:08She said not to have his child.
00:48:14She said that he reminded her of my dad,
00:48:16and reminded me what a mistake it was to marry him.
00:48:22I don't know.
00:48:27Maybe I loved him because I wanted a man to love me.
00:48:31My father didn't do it.
00:48:41Why don't you ever talk about your family?
00:48:47Ain't nothing to talk about.
00:48:52What do you do when you go back home?
00:48:54Where do you go?
00:48:54I got places.
00:48:58Look, I mean, most kids...
00:49:01Most kids have memories of being a kid.
00:49:05Like, happy memories of love and their parents and family,
00:49:09and...
00:49:10I just don't got that.
00:49:13And I'm okay with it.
00:49:16That's why I enjoy moments like this.
00:49:18Making new memories.
00:49:20Time with you.
00:49:22One of my best friends.
00:49:26One of your best friends?
00:49:27I better be at the top of that very short list.
00:49:30Look, see, that's...
00:49:31Miss Tony.
00:49:32That's why I should have never said nothing.
00:49:35Aw, you call me your best friend.
00:49:37You're so cheesy.
00:49:38That's why I don't open up to people, okay?
00:49:42Seriously, though.
00:49:44What are you gonna do?
00:49:48I can't have a baby.
00:49:51They'll lose everything, Tony.
00:49:53I'm gonna help you.
00:50:04Can you just...
00:50:05Can you just leave me alone for a minute?
00:50:34Hey, bitch, you see Shorty over there?
00:50:36You think I'll get her a little drink?
00:50:37I mean, she look good, but I mean, it's up to you, really.
00:50:41Come on.
00:50:41Yo, what up, Tony?
00:50:42What's up?
00:50:43Damn.
00:50:44Girl, you look busted.
00:50:45Let's go get some sleep.
00:50:47Trying to, dude.
00:50:49Needed a little something.
00:50:51How's Lisa?
00:50:52I know she wasn't feeling well.
00:50:53She's good.
00:50:55You sure?
00:50:55Yeah, she's tired.
00:50:56That's all.
00:50:57So I think Javi's on the outs.
00:50:58Thank God.
00:51:00Hated that dude.
00:51:01Yo, what can I get for you?
00:51:03Bartender, let me get, um...
00:51:04Let me get a, let me get a whiskey.
00:51:06Double.
00:51:07Oh, damn.
00:51:09You drink like a dude.
00:51:11Ha, ha, ha.
00:51:13Mmm.
00:51:24You flirt like one, too.
00:51:26Ha, ha, ha.
00:51:28Excuse me, fellas.
00:51:30That's some business to take care of.
00:51:38Oh, no.
00:51:39Come on, come on.
00:51:41Damn.
00:51:43Oh, Mike.
00:51:45Mike, man.
00:51:46She's stealing your girl.
00:51:47Again.
00:51:49I gotta use a baffle.
00:51:51Oh, Mary, snap it up.
00:51:53Why am I paying the tab on time?
00:51:55You must have just got your hand.
00:51:56I got it, I guess.
00:51:57I got it, I guess.
00:52:05Under the pale moon rising
00:52:08A minute to midnight
00:52:11Yeah, we know
00:52:13Time is running out
00:52:18Never mind
00:52:19Keep on smiling
00:52:21Now, Lisa, it's important
00:52:23that you listen to what I have to say, okay?
00:52:27We just got your results back.
00:52:30And it says that you have ductal carcinoma breast cancer.
00:52:37You'll need to start treatment right away.
00:52:40I have work.
00:52:42I have to travel for a few concert dates.
00:52:45I'm afraid that's not possible.
00:52:47If you don't treat it now,
00:52:48the chances of it spreading rapidly increase,
00:52:51limiting the chances of survival.
00:52:56Survival?
00:53:01I can't stop touring.
00:53:04I'll lose everything.
00:53:06Is there someone we can call?
00:53:07No. No one.
00:53:10No, no, I don't want anyone to know about this.
00:53:14Doctor, can we prepare a travel kit for her to do treatments?
00:53:19Yeah.
00:53:21I can coordinate with the hospitals in the city that she's traveling to,
00:53:25and we can monitor her that way.
00:53:26That works.
00:53:29We can start your treatment tomorrow.
00:53:33A word with you, please.
00:53:41That is my place.
00:53:43Do you understand?
00:53:45Okay.
00:53:46I understand.
00:53:47All right?
00:53:51Yes.
00:53:59Hey, mamita.
00:54:02I know.
00:54:04If I stop touring, it all stops.
00:54:08The music, the sponsorships.
00:54:13And I just paid off my mom's car.
00:54:17Your house.
00:54:19You know, I took advancements to...
00:54:23I took advancements to make that happen.
00:54:26And I can't, I can't stop.
00:54:30My mommy, my mommy's just gonna...
00:54:33She was so happy.
00:54:35She was so happy.
00:54:39I can't stop.
00:54:40You understand? I can't stop.
00:54:43We're gonna fix it.
00:54:44We're gonna fix it so that you don't have to stop, okay?
00:54:48You're gonna be okay.
00:54:51You're gonna be okay.
00:54:53We're gonna pray for you.
00:54:55Here, mama.
00:54:56Here, here, take this.
00:54:58Oh, yes.
00:55:03You're gonna be okay.
00:55:08By the way, my daughter, she loves your music.
00:55:15She does.
00:55:17She looks up to you so much.
00:55:20A lot of little Latinas look up to you.
00:55:25Listen, mama.
00:55:27You got this, okay?
00:55:29You're gonna be okay.
00:55:33You hear me?
00:55:55Hey, come here.
00:55:57We need to have a meeting.
00:55:58I've been looking over at contracts and something seems off.
00:56:02You notice your pay?
00:56:04Uh, yeah, yeah.
00:56:05It's been a little life.
00:56:06I haven't thought about it.
00:56:07I'm exhausting.
00:56:08Can we talk about it later?
00:56:09Tony said that we should...
00:56:10Tony's not a part of this band.
00:56:14We need to have a conversation between us.
00:56:17And just us, Lisa.
00:56:18I gotta go, Mike.
00:56:20We need to do it soon.
00:56:24Look, I'm sick and tired of this, Alex.
00:56:26Tony.
00:56:27I'm done.
00:56:29What is this?
00:56:30It's your paycheck.
00:56:31Thought I'd hand delivery.
00:56:33Why?
00:56:34What do you want?
00:56:35You're not one to beat around the bush.
00:56:38Maybe you are.
00:56:39I wanted to ask about your friendship with Lisa.
00:56:43What am I friendship?
00:56:44The reporter was prying the other day, assuming she's a lesbian.
00:56:47You know, I corrected her, of course, but having those kinds of questions, it doesn't benefit anyone, does it?
00:56:57Back off, Lisa.
00:57:00You down?
00:57:02Yeah.
00:57:03Yeah, I think so.
00:57:04Thanks.
00:57:22Hey, you got a lighter on you?
00:57:24Yeah.
00:57:25Let's make time for a chat over the break.
00:57:29I don't want to see everything slip away over one person.
00:57:33We'll have lunch.
00:57:35Okay.
00:57:36Okay.
00:57:47Here for your check.
00:57:59I'm going to need an advance on those jobs, Rob.
00:58:02We're arranged.
00:58:03Sure.
00:58:03Got a few bills that popped up.
00:58:05Um, what upcoming jobs?
00:58:09I don't see anything.
00:58:10Oh, the commercial.
00:58:12I signed the paperwork a while back.
00:58:18Ah, here it is.
00:58:22It seems like that deal fell through.
00:58:24What?
00:58:25Yeah.
00:58:26Did they say why?
00:58:27The client pulled out?
00:58:30No.
00:58:31No, that can be.
00:58:32I just spoke to them.
00:58:34I had a whole creative conversation about the commercial and what I wanted to do with it.
00:58:39They were excited about us.
00:58:44Look, I heard Barry said he didn't agree with the creative, and that was a deal breaker for them, so
00:58:49he turned down the commercial.
00:58:51Hmm.
00:58:54I'm so sick of this.
00:58:55I've had enough.
00:58:56Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:58:56Get your hands off of me.
00:58:58Mr. Barry.
00:59:00How dare you?
00:59:02Excuse me?
00:59:04We are the band.
00:59:06You don't turn down a job without letting all of us decide.
00:59:11Okay.
00:59:13This is how the industry works.
00:59:15You signed the contract.
00:59:18You belong to us.
00:59:20We decide what's best, or we find another band who will accommodate us as we need them to do.
00:59:32Go home.
00:59:34Get some rest.
00:59:35You look like hell.
00:59:38Yeah.
00:59:39Hold on.
00:59:40Lisa.
00:59:43Remember, there's plenty of girls waiting in line to take your place.
00:59:49Hey.
00:59:51Hey, yeah, no.
00:59:52No, I just had to give someone a little attitude adjustment.
00:59:55Uh-huh.
00:59:57Do you have a phone I can use?
00:59:59Sure, baby.
01:00:04It's right here.
01:00:07Lucas.
01:00:09We got to talk.
01:00:10I stopped by accounting.
01:00:12I pulled up all contracts.
01:00:14And?
01:00:15Barry and Rocco turned down that commercial.
01:00:18I mean, what the hell are we going to do?
01:00:20I think we should bring in Tony.
01:00:22She's done this before.
01:00:23She's a backup singer, period.
01:00:25Okay, do you have a problem with a female schooling you?
01:00:26That's your problem.
01:00:27Knock it off.
01:00:28Both of you.
01:00:29We need to figure out how to get out of these contracts before we tear each other apart.
01:00:34They the bad guys, not us, man.
01:00:36Yeah.
01:00:37Right.
01:00:38I know a guy who's done this before.
01:00:41I'm going to give him a call.
01:00:42Oh, so we can't call Tony, but we can't call a stranger we barely know.
01:00:46Great.
01:00:46Lovely.
01:00:47Please.
01:00:48We need to figure out what we're going to do first before we let him know.
01:00:51Yeah?
01:00:52What?
01:00:54There's a few execs at the label that are concerned with your friendship with Tony.
01:00:57Who cares if I'm friends with Tony?
01:01:00You just listen to her way too much.
01:01:02You don't like the fact that I'm close to her?
01:01:04Or that she's gay?
01:01:05What?
01:01:05That's ridiculous.
01:01:06You know how many gay musicians are out there?
01:01:09A lot.
01:01:10You have a lot on your plate.
01:01:12You just don't need another voice in your head giving you advice.
01:01:16Yeah.
01:01:16Come on, Lisa.
01:01:18This is our band.
01:01:19We started this together.
01:01:21Lisa, hey.
01:01:22I like Tony, okay?
01:01:25And I don't care what she does for her free time, you know, but this...
01:01:31This could hurt us.
01:01:33No, it won't.
01:01:36Lisa.
01:01:36She's like a sister.
01:01:38She's my best friend.
01:01:40Time is money.
01:01:42Somebody do it.
01:01:43Do it.
01:01:44He can be his way.
01:01:45Stop worrying about Tony.
01:01:47And start looking into the contracts and how we keep losing money because of these guys.
01:02:00We need you, all right?
01:02:01This is not the other way.
01:02:02I told you, we don't need her.
01:02:03She's wet.
01:02:04Don't stop at me like that.
01:02:05How to get out of these contracts before we tear each other apart.
01:02:08We need us to our band's best.
01:02:10Or we find another band who will accommodate us as we need them to do.
01:02:14I'm a little pet, okay?
01:02:15I'm a man.
01:02:16There are plenty of girls waiting in line.
01:02:17We started this together.
01:02:19There's a few execs that are labeled better because I don't want to appreciate what you want to do.
01:02:22I see how they move.
01:02:26Band's here to take a good call.
01:02:28Lisa, come on.
01:02:29Yeah, I'll be right there.
01:02:31Lisa, what are you doing?
01:02:33Rocco says the place is packed.
01:02:35I can't hear you about this, Lisa.
01:02:39So you ready?
01:02:40Yeah, I said I'll be right there.
01:02:42I feel so much more than you.
01:02:49And this is a great turnout.
01:02:57I can't do this anymore.
01:02:59What?
01:03:00I need a break.
01:03:01All right.
01:03:02You'll get a break soon.
01:03:03I promise.
01:03:03No, now!
01:03:04Girl, you better calm down.
01:03:06I said you would get a break.
01:03:08All right?
01:03:09The sooner you start, the sooner you will finish.
01:03:12Get at work.
01:03:18Hey, I'm sorry about that.
01:03:24That should never happen.
01:03:27But, you know, that's right.
01:03:31Hi.
01:03:31Thank you so much for the patience.
01:03:36Oh, this is such a great thing, Charlotte.
01:03:38Come on, Lisa.
01:03:38I've been waiting all day.
01:03:39Hey, can I please get a kiss?
01:03:40I'm sorry.
01:03:40No, just an autograph.
01:03:41Come on, you're just fine.
01:03:42Come on, Lisa, please.
01:03:43Sorry, just an autograph.
01:03:44I said no, man.
01:03:46Oh, we good?
01:03:47We good?
01:03:48Oh, sorry.
01:03:49What the hell are you doing, Tony?
01:03:51What?
01:03:51You can't be letting dudes get all grabby like that.
01:03:53These are fans.
01:03:54They're the reason why we're here.
01:03:55We can't be handling things like this.
01:03:57What the hell is that supposed to mean?
01:03:58It means how we got to be more thoughtful.
01:04:00How you handle situations, don't you?
01:04:02Not everything is a confrontation.
01:04:04What the hell is the matter with you?
01:04:05You've never had an issue before, all right?
01:04:08You look tired, and I mean, okay, you're one to talk.
01:04:12You know what?
01:04:13I don't need this, all right?
01:04:15Because all I was doing was making sure you were all right
01:04:17like I always do.
01:04:18Oh, you don't.
01:04:19Don't check on me for once.
01:04:21I already have a brother.
01:04:23I don't need another one hovering over me.
01:04:25I don't need another one hovering over me.
01:04:56What's going on?
01:05:06Oh, man.
01:05:08Riding in style.
01:05:09That's nice.
01:05:09Look at this, man.
01:05:10What is lame-ass Tony riding with us to the show for?
01:05:15I don't know, man.
01:05:16Ask Lisa.
01:05:17I will.
01:05:18What you asking me for?
01:05:20Got a mind reader?
01:05:22I don't know.
01:05:29Why aren't you listening to Rocco?
01:05:31The label doesn't want her around, and she's messing with our money.
01:05:33I invited her, Mike.
01:05:35Yeah, and that's the problem.
01:05:36We keep making all these decisions without consulting the group,
01:05:38and we're sick and tired of it.
01:05:40Right, Alex?
01:05:41Guys, listen.
01:05:42Look, I'm a lover, not a fighter, all right?
01:05:43Can we just talk about it later?
01:05:45Right now, we just need to focus.
01:05:46No, we can't talk about it later.
01:05:48I was going to keep this between just us,
01:05:52but I had a lawyer look over everything.
01:05:54And those contracts that we signed,
01:05:56put Rocco in charge of everything.
01:05:58He screwed us.
01:06:00Nah, you screwed yourself.
01:06:02I already told you, the music game.
01:06:04You either hustle or you get hustled,
01:06:06and you got hustled.
01:06:09Yeah.
01:06:10Just like your daddy be hustling you, right?
01:06:12Who the hell are you talking to?
01:06:13I'm talking to you.
01:06:13I'm talking to you.
01:06:14I'm talking to you.
01:06:15I'm talking to you.
01:06:25This is the biggest night of our careers,
01:06:27and you guys are wilding in a damn car?
01:06:40Man, what are we going to do about these contracts?
01:06:42Nothing.
01:06:42What do you mean, nothing?
01:06:43Those contracts are signed.
01:06:45We signed them.
01:06:47I just bought my mom a house,
01:06:49my brother a car I'm paying for my sister's college.
01:06:52That can all go away tomorrow like that.
01:06:56Let's just ride this wave until we can renegotiate.
01:06:59Because I ain't going back to folding sweaters in the stockroom.
01:07:02You hear me?
01:07:07Help myself, you make me feel so right.
01:07:13I got to, got to tell you, darling.
01:07:16Ooh, baby, I think I love you from head to toe.
01:07:24I think I love you from head to toe, I know.
01:07:33You can't fight everybody, Tony.
01:07:35You're lucky Barry wasn't there.
01:07:37Me?
01:07:37I don't care about Barry, all right?
01:07:39He's the one that started it.
01:07:41Stop, stop.
01:07:42I can't handle this.
01:07:43Handle what?
01:07:44The truth?
01:07:45I've been saying the same thing over and over and over.
01:07:47Now it's happening.
01:07:49Now it's a problem?
01:07:50What is up with you?
01:07:51You've been acting different from once now.
01:07:53You never acted like this.
01:07:55I always kept it real with you.
01:07:57He, in fact, has been talking to me crazy,
01:07:59and I'm not going to keep allowing it.
01:08:00You don't know what the hell you're talking about, Tony.
01:08:03Okay.
01:08:04Maybe I can stick up for myself.
01:08:07Do it.
01:08:11The rise of hip-hop and electronic dance music
01:08:13is forcing the freestyle genre to fade.
01:08:34I'll be back in a minute to check on you.
01:08:40It's Lisa.
01:08:40Lisa.
01:08:42Hi.
01:08:44Hi.
01:09:04She's killing it, right?
01:09:05Now let's see what you got.
01:09:09Yeah, that's it.
01:09:11Now, keep going.
01:09:16What's up?
01:09:17I stopped by to get my chick.
01:09:19I didn't know when it was rehearsing.
01:09:21Who was that?
01:09:22She's cute.
01:09:24Tony!
01:09:27Do you have a minute?
01:09:28Hey, come on.
01:09:29Come in a bit.
01:09:30Come on.
01:10:25I need a job, man.
01:10:31Is that all you need?
01:10:37Hey!
01:10:40I told you.
01:10:43You'll be back.
01:11:01We can make it, we can make it work.
01:11:05Hey, that was good.
01:11:06I want to do it one more time, okay?
01:11:08Hey, look who's back.
01:11:10It's so good to see you, Lisa.
01:11:14You look terrible.
01:11:16You're not pregnant, right?
01:11:17Shut up, Spanador.
01:11:19Who's that?
01:11:22That is, um...
01:11:25Spanador?
01:11:27Mike.
01:11:28Mike!
01:11:30Lisa, hear me out.
01:11:32Where's Tony?
01:11:34Where's Tony?
01:11:38Lisa!
01:11:42I told you.
01:11:48Barry!
01:11:50I'm gonna have to call you back.
01:11:52What happened to Tony?
01:11:54I was gonna explain it to you.
01:11:56Who the hell is that to let her go?
01:11:57It was a group decision.
01:11:58I'm a part of this group.
01:12:01Tony's toxic, okay?
01:12:03She's violent.
01:12:04We do not need an individual like that on the road.
01:12:07She's a liability.
01:12:08I need her.
01:12:08I need her on the road.
01:12:10I want her back.
01:12:11No.
01:12:12What?
01:12:13It was a management decision.
01:12:15I'll just go bring her back here.
01:12:16You know, if you go after her,
01:12:18I have to believe that you are not serious about your career.
01:12:22You could lose everything you have worked for.
01:12:25And for what?
01:12:27Some lesbian?
01:12:29How dare you?
01:12:32What does it matter who she sleeps with or who she is?
01:12:38You don't like Tony because she sees through your lives.
01:12:42Mm-hmm.
01:12:44You don't like her because she teaches me about snakes like you.
01:12:49I'm not gonna go on without her.
01:12:53Period.
01:12:54Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:12:55You're from the ghetto.
01:12:57You never graduated from high school.
01:12:59You cannot make it in this business without someone like me.
01:13:11Watch me.
01:13:26Have you seen Tony?
01:13:27Can I get a pizza?
01:13:28I'm sorry, girls.
01:13:28I can't write you.
01:13:32Lisa, why are you looking for Tony?
01:13:35Is she using again?
01:13:36I didn't know she used.
01:13:37You don't wanna know she used.
01:13:41Maybe not.
01:13:42Well, Pops, she's using again.
01:13:44She'll be with him.
01:13:44He's a drug addict pimp.
01:13:46Living somewhere in the projects.
01:13:48If you find him, you'll find her.
01:13:51Thanks.
01:13:52Hey, Lisa, you gotta save her.
01:13:55If she stays in the projects, she'll end up just like her father.
01:13:59Music's all she has.
01:14:03Can we just get an autograph?
01:14:05Get out of the way!
01:14:05Hey, Lisa.
01:14:06Be careful.
01:14:08Project's no place for a girl after sunset.
01:14:12Yo, I don't think she's breathing.
01:14:15She'll be alright.
01:14:18I don't know, B.
01:14:19We need to do something.
01:14:21It's your daughter, man.
01:14:23It's a grown-ass woman.
01:14:25She ain't did nothing she ain't wanna do.
01:14:27Tony!
01:14:28What the hell is that?
01:14:29Tony!
01:14:29Are you here?
01:14:31Hey, get the piece now.
01:14:32Hold me down.
01:14:34What the hell you doing here?
01:14:38You hear me talking to you?
01:14:39Tony!
01:14:40Tony!
01:14:41Tony!
01:14:41Tony!
01:14:43Tony!
01:14:43Tony!
01:14:44No, no.
01:14:45Get up.
01:14:46Get up.
01:14:47She's barely breathing!
01:14:49She ain't going nowhere.
01:14:54She's gonna die.
01:14:56We all gotta go sometime.
01:14:57But you?
01:14:59You ain't going nowhere, Bodequa.
01:15:09There are off-duty police officers waiting for me outside.
01:15:14If they come over here,
01:15:16and they spot that pile of cocaine you got there,
01:15:21they're gonna pick you up for the multiple warrants you probably have,
01:15:24and you will die in prison.
01:15:26You hear me?
01:15:35Don't get outside.
01:15:39Having babies don't make you a father.
01:15:42Caring for them does.
01:15:45You ain't no father.
01:15:48Hey, Bodequa.
01:15:50Don't ever let her come back here.
01:16:01Come here.
01:16:15What day is it?
01:16:17Tuesday.
01:16:19You've been out all night.
01:16:25Oh.
01:16:27This?
01:16:30It's the latest in accessories.
01:16:32The chemo pack.
01:16:36I've had her for a while.
01:16:40Doc told me after...
01:16:43Javi and I split up.
01:16:49But why?
01:16:50Why didn't you say anything?
01:16:53I didn't tell anyone because I was...
01:16:58Because I was scared.
01:17:00Scared.
01:17:01Scared of what?
01:17:03Scared of losing everything.
01:17:07You know, when I was a kid,
01:17:09I would...
01:17:11Stand on a chair in the kitchen
01:17:12And just dream I was on a stage singing.
01:17:17And that I was...
01:17:18The one coming out of Radio City Music Hall in a limo.
01:17:24And that I would...
01:17:25Take care of mommy.
01:17:26And that I would make...
01:17:28Elalio proud.
01:17:30They'd seen me all successful.
01:17:36For a while it felt like...
01:17:38Everything we were living...
01:17:41Was that dream.
01:17:46And the moment...
01:17:48Anyone said cancer, I would...
01:17:52I would just lose it all.
01:17:57That everything would be gone.
01:17:59You know, the tour, the bands, the money.
01:18:06You...
01:18:08I was terrified of losing you.
01:18:12And I was so angry at you.
01:18:17Why did you do that?
01:18:22What's...
01:18:24I asked the junkie...
01:18:28How did he start getting high?
01:18:31This guy was a track star.
01:18:33He...
01:18:34I don't know, he ended up...
01:18:37Strung out in the projects most nights.
01:18:40But he said when you...
01:18:42Spend your life...
01:18:45Being numb...
01:18:48Drugs help you to feel something.
01:18:51I guess I just...
01:18:53I just wanted to feel something.
01:18:56I've been selling...
01:18:56Rock for my pops.
01:18:58It was never about the money.
01:19:00I just wanted him to love me.
01:19:06Tony...
01:19:07I guess I just...
01:19:09I gotta accept the fact that he'll never be able to do that.
01:19:15You can't force anyone to love you the way you want.
01:19:20I know that.
01:19:23Now.
01:19:26Do you?
01:19:30Do you?
01:19:36You're my best friend.
01:19:39My sister.
01:19:40My family.
01:19:43I don't ever want to lose you.
01:19:46Do you ever lose me?
01:19:48You got that?
01:19:52Then no more secrets.
01:19:57No secrets.
01:20:00Cause sisters don't keep secrets.
01:20:03Okay?
01:20:07No more secrets.
01:20:10I think there's one more person you need to tell.
01:20:16Lisa!
01:20:17My son!
01:20:17You're a novel!
01:20:20My son!
01:20:23My son!
01:20:24It's been so long since I've seen you, baby.
01:20:28What are you doing here?
01:20:29I'm sorry, Mommy.
01:20:32I've been busy.
01:20:34I have so much to tell you.
01:20:35But what are you doing Saturday night?
01:21:02We did it, Mom.
01:21:06Yes, we did.
01:21:07We did it.
01:21:33Hi, Mommy.
01:21:35I got you seats in the front row.
01:21:40We'll eat after, yeah?
01:21:41Mm-hmm.
01:21:43Yeah.
01:21:46Yeah, baby.
01:21:48So cute.
01:21:53Yeah?
01:21:57It's time.
01:22:02I'll see you later.
01:22:03Yeah.
01:22:06Hey.
01:22:06Hey.
01:22:07I got you something.
01:22:11What?!
01:22:13I thought I lost them!
01:22:15It was in some of the boxes from when you moved.
01:22:18Ha!
01:22:19I figured you might need it, since you never went anywhere without them.
01:22:34Lisa?
01:22:37It's not that I didn't think you could take the D train alone or pay for Mama's bills.
01:22:45Or do all of this.
01:22:49I just...
01:22:51I wanted to be the one to do that for you.
01:22:56So you didn't have it as tough as I did.
01:22:59I just...
01:23:01I wanted to be the one to take care of my little sister.
01:23:09I know.
01:23:11And if I never told you this...
01:23:15I've never been more proud of anyone in my entire life.
01:23:19I love you, sis.
01:23:23I can't help.
01:23:35I can't help.
01:23:36Oh, no.
01:23:39Tea's up! Tea's up! Tea's up! Tea's up!
01:23:47Hello, New York.
01:23:49Are you ready for this?
01:23:51Can you feel the beat within my heart?
01:23:53Can you see my love shine through the dark?
01:23:59Can you feel the beat within my heart?
01:24:01Can you see my love shine through the dark?
01:24:03Can you see that you must be a part of that beat in my heart?
01:24:09That beat in my heart.
01:24:19I'm Lisa.
01:24:21Tony.
01:24:26Let me hear you scream!
01:24:36Let me hear you scream!
01:24:55We're gonna do this my way, or not at all.
01:24:59My heart has overruled my mind.
01:25:01I tried not to let it show.
01:25:04Now I don't know what to do.
01:25:07I tell myself I'm lying.
01:25:10Don't you have sisters?
01:25:11No. You got me now.
01:25:12My heart has double beats for you.
01:25:15Woo!
01:25:16Now you know.
01:25:19I know.
01:25:20I'm broken.
01:25:23I know this life.
01:25:25We'll turn.
01:25:26To go.
01:25:28If we see your love.
01:25:31All my life.
01:25:33My life.
01:25:33Aw, you're only your best friend.
01:25:36You're so cheesy.
01:25:38Can we stay in love, New York?
01:25:40Are you ready for this?
01:25:41Can you feel the beat within my heart?
01:25:43Can you see my love shine through the dark?
01:25:45Can you feel the beat within my heart?
01:25:47Can you see my love shine through the dark?
01:25:49Can you see that you must be a part of that beat in my heart?
01:25:52Tony.
01:25:53Get up.
01:25:54Get up.
01:25:55That beat in my heart.
01:25:59That beat.
01:26:00Let's go!
01:26:02Let's go!
01:26:05Yeah!
01:26:10You're my best friend.
01:26:11I don't ever want to lose you.
01:26:19You want to know about my life?
01:26:21Well...
01:26:23Here you go.
01:26:25This is how you feel.
01:26:28You'll be back.
01:26:29And now we're looking at it.
01:26:34Oh, yeah.
01:26:36You'll be back.
01:26:38You'll be back.
01:26:39You'll be back.
01:26:41Oh, yeah, yeah.
01:26:46You'll be back someday.
01:26:51You'll be back someday.
01:26:58Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:27:01We'll be back someday.
01:27:06And now we're heading to our tram 2020s.
01:27:07We'll be back someday.
01:27:07Yeah...
01:27:07You'll be back now...
01:27:09Yeah...
01:27:10Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:27:14Yeah...
01:27:29When you feel the world is taking over
01:27:33And it seems life is too much
01:27:38When it seems so hard to make tomorrow come
01:27:46Yes, I'm so happy
