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.
00:01:00Come on.
00:01:08No, no!
00:01:10Stop me.
00:01:11Leave her alone, sorry!
00:01:13I don't think you were alone, leave her alone!
00:01:15Hold it!
00:01:18Stop talking!
00:01:21Your fault!
00:01:22I'm going to kill you!
00:01:24Stop!
00:01:26Stop!
00:01:28Stop!
00:01:29He's hurting your mommy!
00:01:31No!
00:01:31Call the cops!
00:01:32No!
00:01:33I won't do that to your father!
00:01:52No!
00:01:59Man, I hate moving.
00:02:01Daddy's going to be pissed that we're gone.
00:02:02Hey, grab those boxes and put them in the living room.
00:02:04We've got to 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.
00:02:18Maybe I wouldn't have to if our pops was worth a damn, huh?
00:02:21Who's going to take care of this family if not me?
00:02:23You?
00:02:25I do what I got to to help mommy.
00:02:27And the best way you can help is to stop daydreaming
00:02:30and think about how you can pitch in around here.
00:02:32I'm not going to have mommy working three jobs
00:02:33while you're in La La Land.
00:02:45Do you know?
00:02:46Time to pitch in the morning.
00:02:54I'm looking for you, Eladio.
00:02:56I'm getting ready for you.
00:02:57gerade mules.
00:02:58I'm getting ready for you.
00:02:59But I didn't want to him.
00:03:02I'm going to play for you.
00:03:03It's the only time you want to ponder.
00:03:03I'll play with you.
00:03:03I'm going to play with you.
00:03:03And you can play with you.
00:03:04You can play with a mommy when you're in the kitchen.
00:03:04I'm going to play with you.
00:03:04So you can play with me.
00:03:05I'm going to play with you.
00:03:12Oh
00:03:36Oh, Nicky gon' get you.
00:03:44Have a good one.
00:03:49Sorry.
00:03:50I'm here now.
00:03:55Ay, que calor.
00:03:57They need some air conditioning back here.
00:03:59How many of these do we got to dress?
00:04:06Damn.
00:04:07I need a favor.
00:04:09No.
00:04:10Please, Lisa.
00:04:11Mm-mm.
00:04:12Last time I got into trouble because of you.
00:04:14Please, I know a place where we can make double what we were making before.
00:04:18I need the money.
00:04:20I know you do, too.
00:04:25One hour.
00:04:27But that's it, okay?
00:04:28Okay, okay.
00:04:29I don't want to get in trouble.
00:04:59Thank you, thank you.
00:05:00We will be here all night.
00:05:01Damn, I gotta go.
00:05:03My brother told me to pick up stuff for dinner, and he's gonna kill me.
00:05:06Okay, all right.
00:05:08Oh, my gosh.
00:05:20Use you.
00:05:21Yeah, because you choose it.
00:05:22No, DJs don't refuse it.
00:05:24It ain't nothing like it's my music.
00:05:29Mira, voy a cocinar hoy un arroz con habichuelas.
00:05:32¿Tú piensas comer?
00:05:35TÃrate la carne a la olla.
00:05:39Esa cosa, como otras cosas.
00:05:41Mira, ya, ya, ya, que estoy comiendo.
00:05:42Déjame comer.
00:05:43Mira, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya.
00:06:09And you don't worry about this.
00:06:11You hear me?
00:06:13We came here to stuff fresh.
00:06:16Okay?
00:06:20One day I'll be so rich, Mommy.
00:06:22I'm gonna take care of you.
00:06:23I'm gonna buy you a new car.
00:06:27Mommy, 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.
00:06:35Okay?
00:06:37Yeah.
00:06:39But if you just so happen to be rich...
00:06:41What?
00:06:42I want to come first.
00:06:43Vite.
00:06:46I gotta go.
00:06:47You come straight home after work, okay?
00:06:50I love you, Mommy.
00:06:52I love you.
00:07:01I hear you're boys with Jelly Bean.
00:07:03Yeah, we got way back.
00:07:05What was Jelly Bean?
00:07:07It's the main DJ at the boombox basement.
00:07:09Where the ass is.
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 Jelly Bean.
00:07:22What do you want?
00:07:30Hell no.
00:07:31Jelly Bean's always got a funny talent.
00:07:33Besides, Guy won't go home unless you come with us.
00:07:35I don't even like him like that.
00:07:36Girl, who said you're gonna be into him?
00:07:38Just pretend it's an extra long trip in the stock room.
00:07:41Is your brother even gonna 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?
00:07:49Eladio, please.
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 gonna be with me.
00:07:57It's a bar.
00:07:58You're 15.
00:07:59It's seen that there won't be any alcohol.
00:08:01Eladio, stop and listen to me.
00:08:05I'm gonna live and die in this neighborhood and never be nothing.
00:08:09I want to take care of Mommy one day.
00:08:11What's that got to do with this club?
00:08:13There are gonna 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.
00:08:25We can make it, we can make it work.
00:08:33We're all back.
00:08:36Coming from a far land where they never stay.
00:08:38They don't have a contest, but they're too afraid.
00:08:40But I'm rocking the road, so let me bless the mic.
00:08:42For all the DJs, special like an innocent fight.
00:08:44From the west, the east, the north to the south.
00:08:46When I step into the front, we're standing on count.
00:08:48Just wanna have a good time.
00:08:50If you're just fine, all I need is 30 seconds.
00:08:52I'm gonna rock my ground.
00:08:53Get fresh to death.
00:08:55Sahim, can you introduce me?
00:08:57I don't know him like that.
00:09:01I thought you said he wasn't home.
00:09:02I know who he is.
00:09:04He's in the set.
00:09:05Try to get us into the green room.
00:09:07Gone.
00:09:10Figure out myself.
00:09:12I'm going home.
00:09:13I got homework to do.
00:09:19Damn, my bad.
00:09:34Johnny, my man, what's up?
00:09:36We don't mind her talking.
00:09:37Parlay all day.
00:09:38I went off and we played off and shawl on defense.
00:09:41False and you pretend I'm getting evil.
00:09:43We got rocking.
00:09:44Beat the boys in the place.
00:09:45Getting down to the road.
00:09:46Get another group's face.
00:09:48We got rocking.
00:09:48One time a song going from the fake night to the early morning.
00:09:52Get rocking.
00:09:53Not the time for the chat.
00:09:54I'm doing my dance all across the map.
00:09:56Get rocking.
00:09:57I won't see Kate.
00:09:58I can't cheat.
00:09:58And I said she don't mess with me.
00:10:02You're gonna sneak backstage.
00:10:03Take 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.
00:10:21Duh.
00:10:21Those are the prices.
00:10:23Inflation, my man.
00:10:24You got better options.
00:10:25I suggest you get to it.
00:10:26I got business going on here.
00:10:40I hear you help singers.
00:10:43Singers?
00:10:45Nah.
00:10:46I help artists.
00:10:48If they're worth it.
00:10:50Well, I'm worth it.
00:10:51The best damn pipes you hear all night.
00:10:55Okay, shawty.
00:11:00I'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.
00:11:22We just keep going.
00:11:24Ooh.
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.
00:11:40Lisa.
00:11:40Lisa Velez.
00:11:42How old are you?
00:11:4418.
00:11:46Who's bugging?
00:11:48Come on now.
00:11:4915.
00:11:5115.
00:11:53Hmm.
00:11:55All right, Lisa.
00:11:56Yeah.
00:11:58Leave me your digits.
00:12:00Let's get back to the blues.
00:12:07Let me see.
00:12:08Oh, 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 look.
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.
00:12:53Well, I ain't exactly no young buck.
00:12:57You still working with your pops?
00:12:59Sampling the product?
00:13:01It's homey.
00:13:03Dealing 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 us kitchen.
00:13:26Word.
00:13:27Well, look.
00:13:27I got this joint that I've been working on for a minute.
00:13:30And I think that you're talking about...
00:13:30Don't be pushing over.
00:13:32I'm trying to talk to her.
00:13:33You know what I'm saying?
00:13:34Gosh, she ain't even trying to holler at you.
00:13:35Look, bro.
00:13:36Homie.
00:13:37I got a band.
00:13:38And we need a lead singer.
00:13:40Jellybean told me that she was looking.
00:13:42Got a few producers that are interested.
00:13:44You 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 to me?
00:14:11I'm telling you this is really dope.
00:14:12I got this guitarist.
00:14:13He's really amazing.
00:14:14I got this girl.
00:14:14She's walking me.
00:14:15She's going to be amazing, too.
00:14:17Hold up.
00:14:17This is her.
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 a song?
00:14:43Mike wrote it.
00:14:44Yeah, I worked in the last night.
00:14:45Ready?
00:14:46Let's go.
00:14:48When do you think you're going to record 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, hey, just listen to me.
00:15:04Come on.
00:15:05Ah.
00:15:12Ah.
00:15:13Baby, baby, baby, it's your show.
00:15:15So call and take your bow.
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.
00:15:54Something she knows.
00:16:15Uptown, downtown, the funk is on the move.
00:16:23Cartier and Louis V is sure to set the mood.
00:16:31When we're alone in your mind, only a fool will ever try to hide.
00:16:39Let your hold a stroke again.
00:16:41Leave me in the head feeling high.
00:16:52What about Hell's Kitchen's trio?
00:16:54Wow.
00:16:54No, that sounds like my abuel's band or something like that.
00:16:57I didn't think you could get any worse than your last suggestion, but what?
00:17:01It's got to be slick.
00:17:02It's got to be, you know, something that screams we'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.
00:17:14I got it.
00:17:16Lisa and cult jam.
00:17:18Okay.
00:17:19I'm feeling it.
00:17:20All right, but it needs that extra flavor, you know, because Lisa ain't your everyday girl.
00:17:26That's what I'm saying.
00:17:26Mm-hmm.
00:17:28She's not.
00:17:30Nah, Lisa ain't your everyday girl.
00:17:33She's uniquely blessed.
00:17:35How about Lisa, Lisa, and cult jam?
00:17:42Yo, that's fresh.
00:17:44Right?
00:17:46What 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!
00:18:01I like the bass in that progression.
00:18:04Welcome.
00:18:15Brothers are some of the best producers in town.
00:18:18This is Crabberry.
00:18:18Thank you so much.
00:18:20Yes.
00:18:22Lisa!
00:18:23Sweetheart!
00:18:24You're incredible.
00:18:26You're incredible.
00:18:26That sound is 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?
00:18:37Tour?
00:18:39Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
00:18:42Typically, we test the song, see how it lands in different markets before we actually sign
00:18:48an 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, you 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 is going to 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!
00:19:38Did you find it all right?
00:19:39Yeah.
00:19:40Hello, man.
00:19:43Hello, mom.
00:19:44Pleasure 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, and then...
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 artists usually sign 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 going to happen.
00:20:39I do, nana.
00:20:40I see how they look at you.
00:20:43I know what these men want.
00:20:45And it's not just you for you.
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.
00:20:55I mean, I'm a singer.
00:20:57I need to be singing.
00:21:00I can move us to a better neighborhood.
00:21:02And 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.
00:21:18So 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, tomorrow we get to work.
00:21:56Come on, go, mom.
00:21:57I'm going to say the podcast, kid.
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.
00:22:35And call me Barry.
00:22:37Yes, sir.
00:22:40Barry.
00:22:42I got to go.
00:22:43My mom's waiting for me.
00:22:45Okay.
00:22:50Yo, Lisa, you ready?
00:22:52We got to go.
00:22:57Yo, Lisa.
00:22:58We got to go.
00:22:59Yeah, yeah, I'll be right there.
00:23:03Bye.
00:23:04Hurry up.
00:23:05We got to 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.
00:23:21In a month, every girl is going to be covering her eye channeler 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.
00:23:40In 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.
00:23:58Three in six years.
00:23:59L.A. comes to Boston and wins the world title.
00:24:05Oosh, oosh.
00:24:07What you know about that step, man?
00:24:08You know the slider, though?
00:24:10I know.
00:24:11Yo, ain't that the band on TV?
00:24:13I was like, that's snazy.
00:24:16Oh, what's up?
00:24:18Hi.
00:24:18Oh, thank you so much.
00:24:20Yeah.
00:24:29What's up, baby?
00:24:31What's your name?
00:24:31What's up?
00:24:32I'm looking mad good.
00:24:34My name's Harvey.
00:24:35Take my number.
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.
00:24:59Lisa, 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.
00:25:07On Top American Countdown, a show that has taken some of the hottest stars of today and catapulted them into
00:25:13the 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, make some noise right there.
00:25:22Come on.
00:25:22Come on, Lisa, Lisa, baby.
00:25:25Every home in America watches the bands on this show, and 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, let's go, Lisa.
00:25:38Hey, where's Crafty at?
00:25:41All right, Starlings, it's showtime.
00:25:48It feels like someone died in here.
00:25:51Just nerves, that's all?
00:25:54Are you ready?
00:25:58Yeah.
00:25:58Yeah, we're right here.
00:26:00We got it.
00:26:01Yeah.
00:26:01Cool.
00:26:02Okay, I meant just you.
00:26:04Chuck likes a little personal touch, a little pre-show interview.
00:26:09I'm sorry, fellas, but don't worry.
00:26:12You can watch her right here on the live feed.
00:26:14No, 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, please welcome Lisa, Lisa.
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.
00:27:11Or I'm networking.
00:27:12You never know where the next gig's gonna come from.
00:27:14Besides, I think this dude right here, you know, some record execs.
00:27:16Right, sure.
00:27:21Got a line on a gig.
00:27:24Word, an 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 got to be this game.
00:27:36Hey, you're gonna spend your whole life looking over your shoulder?
00:27:40Just because 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.
00:27:59Got it?
00:28:01Peace.
00:28:02Peace.
00:28:07You ain't backup.
00:28:08I ain't backup.
00:28:09Not for long.
00:28:14Mike, listen, I got this.
00:28:16Figure it out.
00:28:16Figure it out.
00:28:16All right.
00:28:17Sponidor, we'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,
00:28:28but not one of them blend with our sound.
00:28:30Word.
00:28:31What do we do, Alex?
00:28:32We're going tour 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, just give me another hour.
00:28:47I can find some ladies.
00:28:48I'll go out to fit that, Baptist.
00:28:49I'll find you a whole lot of girls who can sing best use.
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 all good.
00:28:57Are we going with two?
00:28:58Staring out the window.
00:29:00Hoping to catch you walking by.
00:29:03Staring out the window.
00:29:06I think I've seen my landmark.
00:29:07While these tears broke down my eyes.
00:29:09Staring out the window.
00:29:12Just can't believe it's done and gone.
00:29:15Staring out the window.
00:29:17Staring out the window.
00:29:32Hey, pack your bags, folks, because we're 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 out of my heaven.
00:29:43Those things will kill you, you know.
00:29:44Well, whenever the government comes out with a study saying these are bad for you, I'll stop.
00:29:50I'm Lisa.
00:29:52Tony.
00:29:53How long are you visiting it for?
00:29:56I 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.
00:30:11So you've got to watch yourself.
00:30:13Everybody's going to try to take a piece of you and 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 that'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.
00:30:58You know what we're doing soon?
00:31:00Yeah, baby.
00:31:00A little longer, okay?
00:31:01You gotta go.
00:31:03Come on.
00:31:06I mean, what's this about?
00:31:08Come on, you gotta...
00:31:09Baby, no, no, no.
00:31:11They're going to have to, you know, check 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.
00:31:24Signatures.
00:31:24Okay.
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, you could sneak it in.
00:31:43Well, I was supposed to go home after this set.
00:31:47Mm-hmm.
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, but 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 and the choreography and to pick up the dancers, right?
00:32:24Yeah.
00:32:24She 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.
00:32:51I'm sorry, man.
00:32:51You ready?
00:32:51Come on.
00:32:52Let's go.
00:32:52Look at the camera.
00:32:53Three, two, one.
00:32:58Perfect.
00:32:58Perfect.
00:32:59Hold on.
00:32:59Lisa, listen.
00:33:00All right.
00:33:00Hold on.
00:33:01Can I get an idea, please?
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 can say it to my face.
00:33:13I'm talking to Lisa.
00:33:14What's your problem?
00:33:16The problem is we don't need any more voices offering their opinions on music, fashion, and photo shoots.
00:33:21Fellas, let's take a little break.
00:33:23What do you mean, break?
00:33:24Yeah, I had some flash spandex I wanted to flash, man.
00:33:27Nobody want to see you in no 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.
00:33:54Come on.
00:33:55Move, check it.
00:33:56Check it.
00:33:57Check it.
00:33:58Check it.
00:33:58Welcome here.
00:33:59Hey, 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 is 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.
00:34:31All right.
00:34:34Is that all?
00:34:39Yeah.
00:34:41Good to hear.
00:34:43Catch up with you on tour.
00:34:45Keep up the great work, fellas.
00:34:48Fantastic shoot today.
00:34:52Fantastic.
00:34:54Hit the beat now.
00:34:58That's dope.
00:34:58Why does she have to redo it?
00:35:00Yeah, I mean, it still needs a final mix, but we're close.
00:35:02Tony, we're close.
00:35:04We 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.
00:35:17Ha ha.
00:35:18Come join us.
00:35:20Okay.
00:35:22Guys.
00:35:24The 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.
00:35:35More money.
00:35:37Hey.
00:35:38So you have to stay focused.
00:35:41You're not stars yet.
00:35:42Speak for yourself.
00:35:43Ha, I'm a star.
00:35:44I don't speak a star.
00:35:46All right, guys.
00:35:47Hey, great job today.
00:35:49Get out of here.
00:35:49See you tomorrow.
00:35:50Wait.
00:35:52Hey, I'm going to go to Cal.
00:35:53I'll be there.
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 the 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 with you.
00:36:24Yeah, I can take a look at it later.
00:36:27I should probably get over.
00:36:28Hey.
00:36:30I don't want to say what I asked you.
00:36:33Wait, Rocco, stop.
00:36:35That's looking good.
00:36:36Come here.
00:36:37Hey, what the hell are you doing, Rocco?
00:36:40Stop.
00:36:40No, stop, Rocco.
00:36:42You're playing too much.
00:36:44I want you to kiss me.
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 doing.
00:36:53Rocco, stop.
00:36:54I've been thinking about cheating.
00:36:56Stop, Rocco!
00:36:59You played too much.
00:37:02See you later.
00:37:18You good?
00:37:19Yeah.
00:37:22You sure?
00:37:22I said I'm good.
00:37:23Just leave me alone, okay?
00:37:24Right, all right.
00:37:25Whatever.
00:37:25Jeez.
00:37:36Oh, man.

00:39:07Wow.
00:39:10Please, I know you.
00:39:11It's the first time Mommy will come see me.
00:39:14No, just get on the train and come on.
00:39:19Let me hear you say it.
00:39:20Mommy!
00:39:23Mommy!
00:39:24Hi, Mom.
00:39:25I'm so glad you're here.
00:39:27You're beautiful.
00:39:28Oh, my God. You lost weight.
00:39:30I'm going to surprise for you.
00:39:31Yeah, I'll show you after the show.
00:39:33Come on.
00:39:39This is for you.
00:39:41What do you mean?
00:39:44It's yours.
00:39:47No, I can't believe this.
00:39:50Did you see what Lisa bought me?
00:39:52Oh, my God.
00:39:53Why 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. I know.
00:39:56I just wanted to do this for you.
00:39:57No, no. That's not the point.
00:39:59This is the goal behind us.
00:39:59Ay, Eladio, why can't you just be proud of me?
00:40:01For once in your life,
00:40:03didn't you just say, I'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 God.
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, and you can check the glove company.
00:40:26Yeah.
00:40:34Well, what is that?
00:40:36This...
00:40:37This...
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?
00:41:08Ah.
00:41:09Eladio.
00:41:11Eladio!
00:41:14I love you.
00:41:15I love you, but I can't be sitting around waiting for you.
00:41:18You heard?
00:41:18Okay.
00:41:19You know how my job is.
00:41:21And I told you, you can come on the road with me.
00:41:24You know, I'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, okay?
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.
00:41:40Mommy.
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.
00:41:51I'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, hmm?
00:42:05Is 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, Javi, wait, wait.
00:42:14What?
00:42:14What do you want?
00:42:15What 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 want to sit here wondering if you're mine.
00:42:37Baby, I'm yours.
00:42:38Yeah.
00:42:39Then marry me.
00:42:41Marry me or I'll go home, pack my things and leave.
00:42:44Because as is, this isn't going to work.
00:42:50It's a choice.
00:42:54Okay.
00:42:57Okay.
00:43:00Really?
00:43:01Let's get married.
00:43:03I'm still gay.
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.
00:43:24All the time, it's the same thing.
00:43:25No, no, no, no.
00:43:25I understand plenty.
00:43:26You trust people when you shouldn't.
00:43:28Mommy, say 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.
00:43:41Nana, you 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, who you will have children with.
00:43:59But it's not Javi.
00:44:07I love you.
00:44:15Bye-bye.
00:44:19Bye.
00:44:19Bye-bye.
00:44:44Lisa Lisa of Lisa Lisa and the Colt Jam began simply as Lisa, a young Puerto
00:44:50Rican girl who dreamed of being a singing sensation. That dream started to come true in 1985 when the music
00:44:57producer group were looking for a female lead and stumbled across the 16-year-old singer. In that same year,
00:45:03they renamed the band Lisa Lisa and Colt Jam, producing three top-selling hits which brought the band to platinum
00:45:10status. 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 Madonna. Their
00:45:28most recently released album is purposefully called Straight to the Top, a place where Lisa Lisa and Colt Jam hope
00:45:35to 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. Like that. Can't
00:46:02believe 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?
00:46:21Oh.
00:46:28All right. Well, I'll be home in two weeks. Okay. I love you.
00:46:47He's going out with his boys again, huh?
00:46:49Yeah.
00:46:53It'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, but you never ask him where he's going.
00:47:00No need. I trust him.
00:47:03Javi!
00:47:05I'm home!
00:47:16Baby!
00:47:49You know, it's buried.
00:47:51he finds out. I know. Are you sure it was positive? Like, does your mom know? What'd she say?
00:48:08She said not to have his child.
00:48:14She said that he reminded her of my dad, and 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? Where do you go?
00:48:54I got places.
00:48:58Look, I mean, most kids, most kids have memories of being a kid.
00:49:04Like, happy memories of love and their parents and family. And I just don't got that. And I'm okay with
00:49:14it. That's why I enjoy moments like this. Making new memories. Time with you. One of my best friends.
00:49:26One of your best friends.
00:49:27One of your best friends. I better be at the top of that very short list.
00:49:31Miss Tony.
00:49:32That's why I should have never said nothing.
00:49:35Aw, you call me your best friend. You're so cheesy.
00:49:38See, that's why I don't open up to people, okay?
00:49:42Seriously though, what 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.
00:50:03Can you just leave me alone for a minute?
00:50:08Like it is, like it is.
00:50:10The more I think about
00:50:13How much I let me down
00:50:17I need a new day to start the rest
00:50:22Time to get back to me
00:50:24Gotta go
00:50:25Yes, I know it
00:50:34Hey, but 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 me 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.
00:50:54You 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, uh...
00:51:04Let me get a whiskey.
00:51:06Double.
00:51:07Oh, damn.
00:51:09You drink like a dude.
00:51:24You flirt like one, too.

00:59:12This is how the industry works.
00:59:15You sign the contract.
00:59:18You belong to us.
00:59:20We decide what's best, or we find another band
00:59:24who'll accommodate us as we need them to do.
00:59:32Go home.
00:59:34Get some rest. You look like hell.
00:59:38Yeah. Hold on. Lisa!
00:59:43Remember, there's plenty of girls waiting in line to take your place.
00:59:50Hey. Hey, 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 room to hear.
01:00:07Lucas.
01:00:09We gotta talk.
01:00:10Look, I stopped by accounting and pulled up all contracts.
01:00:14And?
01:00:15Barry and Rocco turned down that commercial.
01:00:18Man, what the hell are we gonna do?
01:00:20I think we should bring in Tony.
01:00:22She's done this before.
01:00:23Okay.
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 gonna give him a call.
01:00:42Oh, so we can call Tony, but we can 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 gonna 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.
01:01:12We just don't need another voice in your head giving you advice.
01:01:16Yeah, come on, Lisa.
01:01:18This is our band.
01:01:19We started this together.
01:01:21Lisa, hey.
01:01:22I like Tony.
01:01:24Okay?
01:01:25And I don't care what she does for her free time, you know, but...
01:01:30This...
01:01:31This could hurt us.
01:01:34No, it won't.
01:01:36Lisa.
01:01:36She's like a sister.
01:01:38She's my best friend.
01:01:40Come here.
01:01:41Time is money.
01:01:42Let's do it.
01:01:43He can do it.
01:01:44Listen.
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 don't need you, all right?
01:02:01This is not the only thing.
01:02:03We don't need her.
01:02:03She's wet.
01:02:04Don't stab 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'll 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.
01:02:18We started this together.
01:02:19There's a few execs at the label that I can so much appreciate.
01:02:22I see how they move.
01:02:26Band's here to take it to the mall.
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.
01:02:35What do you mean?
01:02:37We're here.
01:02:38You brought me.
01:02:39It's Lisa.
01:02:39You ready?
01:02:40Yeah, I said I'll be right there.
01:02:42I feel so much for coming.
01:02:50This 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, you'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 back to work.
01:03:18Hey, I'm sorry about that.
01:03:24That should never happen.
01:03:30Hi.
01:03:31Thank you so much for the patience.
01:03:38Lisa, I've been waiting all day.
01:03:39Hey, can I please get a kiss?
01:03:40I'm sorry.
01:03:41No, just an autograph.
01:03:42Fine, come on.
01:03:43Lisa, please, fine.
01:03:43Sorry, just an autograph.
01:03:44I said no, man.
01:03:46Whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:03:47We good?
01:03:47We good?
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 gotta be more thoughtful,
01:04:00how you handle situations, Tony.
01:04:02Not everything is a confrontation.
01:04:04What the hell is the matter with you?
01:04:06You've never had an issue before, all right?
01:04:08You look tired, and I mean...
01:04:10Okay, 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.
01:04:18Well, 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.
01:04:46You good?
01:04:48Yeah.
01:04:50I'm good.
01:04:51Just tired.
01:04:54You know.
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 you for?
01:05:20Not a mind reader?
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, but I had a lawyer look over everything.
01:05:54And those contracts that we signed, put Rocco in charge of everything.
01:05:58He screwed us.
01:06:00Nah.
01:06:00You screwed yourself.
01:06:02I already told you.
01:06:03The 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 you talking to?
01:06:13I'm talking to you.
01:06:13I'm talking to you.
01:06:14Chill.
01:06:15Chill.
01:06:17Chill.
01:06:17Chill.
01:06:17Chill.
01:06:19You need to be out of here.
01:06:20Now.
01:06:20Chill out.
01:06:20Stop!
01:06:21Mike, stop dissing her!
01:06:25This is the biggest night of our careers, and you guys are wild and 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, my 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?
01:07:17Baby, I think I love you from head to toe.
01:07:24I think I love you from head to toe.
01:07:30Oh, no.
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.
01:07:39All right?
01:07:39He's the one that started.
01:07:40Stop!
01:07:41Stop!
01:07:42I can't handle this!
01:07:43I can handle 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 for 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, and I'm not going to keep allowing it.
01:08:00Maybe you don't know what the hell you're talking about, Tony.
01:08:03Okay.
01:08:04Maybe I can stick up for myself.
01:08:06Do it.
01:08:11The rise of hip-hop and electronic dance music is 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.
01:08:47Hi.
01:08:52Hi.
01:08:56Hi, I'm Paul!
01:09:00Hi.
01:09:04Hi.
01:09:05I'm going to give up on the show.
01:09:06Hi.
01:09:09Hi.
01:09:09Hi.
01:09:09Hi.
01:09:09Hi.
01:09:10Hi.
01:09:10Hi.
01:09:10Hi.
01:09:10Hi.
01:09:11Hi.
01:09:11Hi.
01:09:12Hi.
01:09:14Hi.
01:09:16What's up? I just stopped by to get my chick.
01:09:19I didn't know when he was rehearsing.
01:09:21Who was that?
01:09:22She's cute.
01:09:24Tony!
01:09:27Do you have a minute?
01:09:29Come on, me in a bit.
01:09:53Come on.
01:10:18Come on, me in a bit.
01:10:19Look what the cat drug in.
01:10:26I need a job, man.
01:10:31That all you need?
01:10:37Hey!
01:10:40I told you.
01:10:43You'll be back.
01:10:47You can't let me in.
01:10:51This love we have could be real.
01:10:54Let me show you how I feel.
01:10:59Oh, boy.
01:11:01We can make it.
01:11:03We can make it work.
01:11:05Hey, that was good.
01:11:06I want to do it one more time, okay?
01:11:07Great job.
01:11:08Hey, look who's back.
01:11:09Mike, it's so good to see you, Lisa.
01:11:12I'm running one more time.
01:11:13Girl, you look terrible.
01:11:16You're not pregnant, right?
01:11:17Shut up, Spanador.
01:11:19Who's that?
01:11:20Um, that 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 stepped 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
01:12:20about your career.
01:12:22You could lose everything you have worked for.
01:12:26And for what?
01:12:28Some lesbian?
01:12:30How dare you?
01:12:32What does it matter who she sleeps with
01:12:34or who she is?
01:12:38You don't like Tony
01:12:39because she sees through your lives.
01:12:42Mm-hmm.
01:12:44You don't like her
01:12:45because 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
01:13:01without 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.
01:13:31Lisa?
01:13:32Why are you looking for Tony?
01:13:35Is she using again?
01:13:36I didn't know she used.
01:13:37You don't want to know she used.
01:13:41Maybe not.
01:13:42Her 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,
01:13:53you gotta save her.
01:13:55If she stays in the projects,
01:13:56she'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,
01:14:13I don't think she's breathing.
01:14:15She'll be all right.
01:14:18I don't know, B.
01:14:19We need to do something.
01:14:21This your daughter, man.
01:14:23It's a grown-ass woman.
01:14:25She ain't did nothing
01:14:26she ain't want to do.
01:14:27Tony!
01:14:28The hell is that?
01:14:29Tony!
01:14:29Are you here?
01:14:31Hey, get the piece, man.
01:14:32Hold me down.
01:14:34What the hell you doing here?
01:14:38You hear me talking to you?
01:14:40Tony.
01:14:41Tony.
01:14:41Tony.
01:14:41Hey!
01:14:42Tony!
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.
01:14:58But you?
01:14:59You ain't going nowhere, Bodequa.
01:15:09There are off-duty police officers
01:15:11waiting for me outside.
01:15:14If they come over here
01:15:16and they spot that pile of cocaine
01:15:18you got there,
01:15:20they're gonna pick you up
01:15:22for the multiple warrants
01:15:23you 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
01:15:40don'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.
01:16:14What day is it?
01:16:17Tuesday.
01:16:19You've been out all night.
01:16:25Oh.
01:16:26This?
01:16:29It'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
01:16:50didn't you say anything?
01:16:53I didn't tell anyone
01:16:55because I was
01:16:57because I was scared.
01:17:01Scared of what?
01:17:03Scared of losing everything.
01:17:06You know, when I was a kid
01:17:09I would
01:17:10stand on a chair in the kitchen
01:17:12and just dream
01:17:13I was on a stage singing.
01:17:17You know, that I was
01:17:18the one coming out of
01:17:19Radio City Music Hall
01:17:20and a limo
01:17:23and that I would
01:17:25take care of mommy
01:17:26and that I would make
01:17:28Pelagio proud.
01:17:30They'd see me all successful.
01:17:36For a while it felt like
01:17:39everything we were living
01:17:42was that dream.
01:17:46And the moment
01:17:47anyone said cancer
01:17:49I would
01:17:52I would just lose it all.
01:17:57That everything would be gone.
01:17:59You know, the tour, the bands,
01:18:01the money.
01:18:05You
01:18:07I was terrified of losing you.
01:18:12And I was so angry at you.
01:18:17Why did you do that?
01:18:20I once
01:18:24I asked a 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
01:18:35he ended up
01:18:37strung out
01:18:38in the projects
01:18:38most nights.
01:18:40But he said
01:18:40when you
01:18:42spend your life
01:18:44being numb
01:18:48drugs help you
01:18:49to feel something.
01:18:51And I guess
01:18:52I just
01:18:53I just wanted
01:18:53to feel something.
01:18:55I mean
01:18:56selling
01:18:56rock for my pops
01:18:58it was never
01:18:58about the money.
01:19:00I just
01:19:01wanted him
01:19:02to love me.
01:19:05Tony
01:19:06I guess
01:19:07I just
01:19:09I gotta accept
01:19:10the fact
01:19:10that he'll never
01:19:11be able to do that.
01:19:15You can't force
01:19:16anyone to love you
01:19:17the way you want.
01:19:21I know that
01:19:23now.
01:19:26Do you?
01:19:36You're my best friend
01:19:39my sister
01:19:40my family
01:19:43I don't ever
01:19:44want to lose you
01:19:46Do you ever
01:19:47lose me?
01:19:48You got that?
01:19:52Then no more
01:19:53secrets
01:19:57No secrets
01:20:00Because sisters
01:20:01don't keep
01:20:01secrets
01:20:03Okay?
01:20:08No more secrets
01:20:10I think there's
01:20:11one more person
01:20:12you need to tell
01:20:27Lisa
01:20:28I'm sorry
01:20:30mommy

01:22:15It was in some of the boxes
01:22:16from when you moved
01:22:18I figure you might need it
01:22:20since you never went
01:22:26anywhere without them
01:22:27Thank you
01:22:34Lisa
01:22:37It's not that I
01:22:38didn't think you could
01:22:39take the D train alone
