00:01Previously on Empire.
00:02Empire Entertainment has filed to become a publicly traded company.
00:07Don't forget to thank your cookie on this historic occasion.
00:10You forgot about me the second you forced me in there.
00:13Because my 400,000 has started this bitch, and I want half my company back.
00:17I wanna know everything she's doing. Everything.
00:21You gotta heal us.
00:22Oh, yeah.
00:23Three years.
00:23Part of us going public means me. I need one of my sons to man up and lead it.
00:28We're all in competition to be the future head of the company?
00:30Everything I did was for you and your brothers.
00:32You want a medal, bitch?
00:33What I want is someone's bad!
00:37You got it, mom. Man, we just gotta show the world.
00:40Your sexuality has a choice, sir.
00:42Hey, mom.
00:43You really made something of yourself.
00:47She trying to manage my career.
00:48You do end up working with her and Pop's handling me, best believe they trying to make us kill each
00:52other.
00:52You can fool this country, but I know you ain't nothing but a punk-ass gangster.
00:56I never let anything come between friendship, except the bullet.
01:14Alright, let it through.
01:27That was Lucius Lyons' 2002 mega-hit, What the DJ Spent.
01:34R&B hip-hop King is taking his empire public.
01:37The IPO touts a streak of number one hits and an diversified lifestyle brand.
01:42It appears he is attempting to make himself immortal.
01:48You gotta heal us.
01:51...surfers say it would be the first time that a business has gone from the street to Wall Street,
01:54and if successful, it would make history.
01:57New York's Attorney General announces...
02:02What is she doing here?
02:15I told you not to be down here when I'm working.
02:17This is what the DJ Spent.
02:23This is what the DJ Spent.
02:25All your money down now.
02:27This is your party fight.
02:28Live it up and drink is all free.
02:30This is what the DJ Spent.
02:31All your money getting home.
02:33Give it up and break those.
02:34Live it up and life is all free.
02:36This is what the DJ Spent.
02:47This is my money man!
02:50This is what the DJ Spent..
02:51Pay that Packers dame.
02:52That's what the DJ Spent.
03:14What are you doing here?
03:17Checking out my house.
03:20That's a Klimt.
03:23Yeah, well, you can keep it. It's ugly.
03:25We've already settled our agreement,
03:27and my house was not part of the deal, Cookie.
03:31I don't want no parts of this house
03:32or this tacky mess you got in it.
03:34I'm just here to make sure you don't stab your son in the back.
03:36Now, what are you talking about?
03:38Ruby's baby, can you help me?
03:40Oh, I didn't realize we had company.
03:45I'm hungry.
04:04Now I ain't got no baking.
04:08Oh, you don't talk.
04:09I do talk.
04:11Thank you. That's enough.
04:19I'm not backstabbing my son.
04:21I know you have Hakeem performing at the opening of Leviticus.
04:25Put Jamal up there, too.
04:27No.
04:27It's only going to be Hakeem.
04:30Don't do this, Lucius.
04:31Jamal doesn't belong on my stage.
04:34That's not his audience.
04:35His audience?
04:36Jamal's music is universal, and you know it.
04:38I've invested a whole lot of money into Leviticus.
04:41I'm not going to have it branded a homosexual club.
04:43Cookie, you can talk as much mess as you want,
04:46but I have nine of Empire's top acts,
04:48and none of them are going to be there,
04:51so tonight is not about Jamal.
04:53Excuse me, sweetie.
04:54This is a family matter involving two of my sons
04:58and the family business that Lucius and I started
05:00with my $400,000.
05:02Excuse me, baby.
05:04Yeah, with my money.
05:05But you can't let me talk to you.
05:06Yeah, excuse me.
05:07Hands off me.
05:08I'm not that tired, Heather.
05:10You signed a nondisclosure agreement
05:11not to say anything about the $400,000,
05:13or have you forgotten already?
05:14She don't know that it was my $400,000 in drug money
05:17that started this company, does she?
05:21I went away for a long time for you to build all of this.
05:26I miss my sons growing up.
05:29I'm going to make some things right.
05:31You're not shutting Jamal out no more.
05:34It's not going to happen.
05:43I'm here with Hakeem Lyon
05:45on the eve of his debut performance at Leviticus.
05:47Yo, Hakeem, you getting ready to be famous?
05:50I mean, that's the plan, ain't it?
05:52My pop sent me up to be the Prince of Empire
05:54so I don't know what I'm going to do.
05:54Hold up.
05:55You ain't getting ready to be nothing
05:56unless you finish with that rehearsal first.
05:58Oh, what?
05:58Oh, my God.
05:59Fates damn much.
06:02Who?
06:03Who you?
06:04What's up?
06:06Wrong room.
06:06You ain't got the room.
06:07Come here.
06:09Who's going to do that?
06:10That's Tiana, man.
06:11Your pop's girl just signed her.
06:13She kind of.
06:14I mean, it'd be all up and down.
06:16Yeah.
06:17She's going to do it.
06:18Yeah.
06:22Come on, y'all.
06:23Let's go.
06:26Some call me a Rolling Stone.
06:28I don't want to stay too long.
06:30I'd rather be like a breeze.
06:32Climb me going as I please.
06:34But you're the one that I want, baby.
06:36Oh, I need you love to drive me great.
06:38No, I never want you to go.
06:40So stay right here till my body go.
06:42Oh, you, girl.
06:44We got that chemistry.
06:46Oh, you, girl.
06:48Knock it out.
06:49Drop one, two, three.
06:50You're the one.
06:52Let's go, boy.
06:53I'm ready.
06:54Come here.
06:55Kiss me.
06:56Say my heart.
06:58Say.
07:05Come here.
07:07Come on, girl.
07:14Man, man, that's what I'm talking about.
07:17Now, that was bananas.
07:18What are you doing here?
07:19Yo, Kim, tell her you're the prince of empire.
07:22Tell her you've got to be famous.
07:23Big one, big one you want.
07:24You having fun?
07:25No.
07:25You're a real firearm before?
07:28Gives you a sense of power.
07:29Um, you guys are ruining my rehearsal.
07:30Come on, y'all.
07:31Y'all gotta get up out of here, man.
07:32All right, we out.
07:32We didn't mean to do that.
07:34Come on, man.
07:37I'm in there rehearsing, too.
07:39I'm opening up Eleviticus this weekend.
07:41That's nice.
07:42Where's the Nika?
07:43She's supposed to see this.
07:44Nika.
07:45Look, Tiana, right?
07:47You're new here.
07:48You might be a little famous and everything,
07:50but it's a lot of perks that come being nice to me.
07:53So how about this?
07:54I put you on VIP in Eleviticus,
07:57and we turn up the right way.
07:58How about this?
07:59Get your rich phony ass out of here.
08:01Phony.
08:01Don't waste my time.
08:05For real, that's how it is?
08:08Come here, girl.
08:18Becky, have we heard anything back from any of the managers?
08:21I need someone on stage backing them up.
08:23Not yet, but I have word out to all five.
08:25Still no word from Bunky yet.
08:27Well, send somebody up to Atlantic City.
08:30Last time he disappeared, he was up there wasting my money.
08:32Right, yeah, I know.
08:33So I did.
08:34And also to Las Vegas and that casino outside of Palm Springs.
08:38But, sir, there's a new problem that I really need your attention for.
08:41Well, I've got one problem right now,
08:43and that's finding someone to back up my son.
08:45Get Vernon on the line.
08:46I need him to get this done.
08:47Right, I will, but you really need to...
08:49Get Vernon, damn it.
08:51Getting Vernon.
08:53Vernon, you on with Lucius?
08:54Hey, baby, I need you to get me someone to back up our game.
08:58Somebody really big.
08:59I got one shot to debut this boy, and it's got to be epic.
09:02Yeah, well, how about Kid Fo-Fo?
09:05His photos alone are going to go viral.
09:06Nah, he'll never do it. He's way too big.
09:08Nah, yes, he will. He's about to owe us a huge favor.
09:11What you talking about, Willie?
09:12There was a shooting at a mall in Elmhurst. Two people are dead.
09:15Becky, why didn't you tell me?
09:16You see, you never listen to me. I tried to tell you that before.
09:19Yeah, then the idiot goes and posts a video online and cites Fo-Fo as his biggest inspiration.
09:24Media's been attacking us all morning.
09:28Mr. Lyons, do you have any comments about the shooting?
09:31Do you have any comments about the shooting?
09:33I have nothing.
09:34Original share price set at 18.
09:36Need to explain valuation model to dad.
09:38Find streaming model to increase empire's bottom line.
09:41Figure out how to undermine Hakeem at Leviticus.
09:46Did you see Dr. Ops yesterday?
09:48I canceled my last two appointments.
09:50With Leviticus opening and his IPO, dad freaks out every time I leave the office.
09:54You need to go.
09:57Today, you were talking in your sleep about yourself in the third person.
10:02You need to recalibrate your meds again.
10:04Right after Leviticus, Rhonda.
10:07Dad's using it to launch Hakeem.
10:09He's completely crazy about it right now.
10:21Listen to me.
10:25For most people, canceling a doctor's appointment is just lazy.
10:30But for someone who's bipolar, it's life-threatening.
10:38And your life is mine.
10:47I'll go.
10:48Oh.
10:49You should tell your mother that Hakeem is performing at Leviticus.
10:53She'll try to sabotage it.
10:56Already did.
11:08Your mom's here.
11:11Come on, boy.
11:12Get up.
11:12We got work to do.
11:13How you get in my house?
11:13I got a key.
11:16What is this song you wrote?
11:18It ain't half bad.
11:19Performing at the club on Saturday.
11:21You got a call from somebody named Carter.
11:24Thought I told you to wait in the car.
11:25Who's that?
11:27Portia, my new assistant.
11:28Probationary.
11:29You want to call her?
11:30She said it's her.
11:30I said get out of here.
11:39I got a plan.
11:41Your daddy's got Hakeem performing at Leviticus on Saturday.
11:44I'm going to get you up on stage, too.
11:46Yeah, we want me there.
11:47I don't care what he wants.
11:48We do.
11:49Shut up, Dora.
11:51You're going to get up, and you're going to work on this song.
11:54And come Saturday, you're going to show everybody that you are just as talented as your brother.
12:00Let's hit it.
12:27Becky?
12:29How many times do I have to tell you to stop using my bathroom?
12:34Stop it.
12:36I know you're sick.
12:39Is that why you're doing this crazy IPO thing?
12:42Is that why you're pitting your sons against one another for your company?
12:45You went through my stuff?
12:53Look, I wanted to tell you, but nobody can know about this.
13:02There's no cure, is there?
13:04Lou Gehrig's disease.
13:06For ALS, there's no cure.
13:07I'm dying.
13:19What this man is doing is wrong.
13:29Why should I apologize?
13:31No, we don't want you to apologize, Fofo.
13:33We don't want you to say anything.
13:35I mean, look, all the news say I inspired them, right?
13:38I'm inspiring.
13:39I inspire people like Gandhi.
13:42Yeah, you're like Gandhi.
13:45Look, I'm getting a whole lot of pressure to drop you.
13:51Now, I'm going to take care of this thing for you, but I'm going to need you to take care
13:54of something for me.
13:56What?
13:57Play with Hakeem at Leviticus's opening.
14:00Play backup to your son?
14:01No, no, no, no.
14:02It's not you doing backup.
14:04You're more like a mentor to him, like Diana Ross did for the Jackson 5.
14:10Who's Diana Ross?
14:15You don't need to drop him because of the shooting.
14:17Drop him because his music sucks.
14:18How is this stupid bitch?
14:20Someone who would have never gave birth to your ugly ass.
14:23Oh, hell no.
14:24Yo, yo, yo.
14:26You all right, right?
14:27No, let him go, Vernon.
14:29I face bigger in prison with more talent, bitch.
14:32Yeah, all right, bitch.
14:33Get your hands off of me.
14:34He's a punk.
14:35Drop him.
14:36I'm not dropping him.
14:37He makes me a whole lot of money.
14:38I'm not dropping him because of no damn controversy.
14:41Huh.
14:43You must be on Anika's roster.
14:45Yeah, I see you still letting that thing think for you.
14:48No, I'm starting to think like a businessman.
14:51You need to start acting like a professional instead of a hood rat.
14:55Oh.
14:56Okay.
14:57Well, my professional opinion is that you should launch them both at the same time at Leviticus.
15:03The press will eat it up.
15:04The crowd would love to see two brothers on stage at the same time.
15:08I'm going to stop barging in my office.
15:11You're not wanted here.
15:20I'm going to call you back.
15:30Portia, get my damn shoe.
15:33Portia, get my shoe.
15:35I'm coming.
15:37I'm coming.
15:40Hello.
15:41Mr. Vernon Turner.
15:42Detective Walker.
15:44Manhattan, North 28th Precinct.
15:45We need you to identify your body.
15:48They found him floating in the Hudson, 96th Street.
15:532.30 this morning.
16:13They shot him in the face.
16:15That was shy, wasn't it, man?
16:17Yeah, but why would anybody shoot me for $25,000?
16:22I never let anything come between friendship.
16:28We got to let his family know.
16:30We got to tell Cookie.
16:31No, that was her closest cousin, man.
16:34You want me to tell her?
16:35No, no, no.
16:36No, I got to do it.
16:37Look, call everybody and have them meet me at my house tonight.
16:42I'm going to see you there, dude.
16:47Tell the truth.
16:53Tell the truth.
16:54Tell the truth.
16:58It needs work, but it's something like that.
17:00I love it, honey.
17:02Dad won't even listen to it.
17:03That's why we got to figure out a way to steal focus from Hakeem.
17:09That's cold-bloody.
17:10Hakeem's your own son.
17:11Jamal should come out as a big queen the same day Hakeem planned,
17:15and that'll steal his whole thunder for sure.
17:18That's exactly what we'll do.
17:21You going to listen to this episode?
17:22Yes, and you're going to sing your little ass off,
17:25and you're going to steal that show from Hakeem.
17:27I don't care to steal the show from Hakeem.
17:30Dad ain't going to let me on that stage.
17:31Fofo is backing Hakeem.
17:32Okay.
17:35We'll stage our own show.
17:38Right on the steps where they're doing that protest.
17:40They can get all those reporters to show up
17:42because some moms are mad at kid Fofo.
17:44They will certainly show up for your little coming-out party.
17:47And you'll sing that song,
17:49and it'll be all over the news,
17:50and you'll be a star.
17:52Hakeem's stopped with the publicity stunts, Mama Rose.
17:55I'm going to come out the way I want to.
17:57It's going to be bomb, Jamal.
18:00Who's Mama Rose?
18:02Oh, I know who she is.
18:03That's that lady.
18:03Hey, can you shut up and get out of here?
18:05Give us a minute.
18:06Go.
18:09Uh, what you say?
18:10I ain't saying nothing.
18:15Trust me, Jamal.
18:16I know what I'm doing.
18:17I need to write songs.
18:18I need to be creative.
18:19I don't want to get in the middle of you and him.
18:21Speaking of the devil.
18:23Lucius, why?
18:24You got kid Fofo playing with Hakeem
18:26after you told me no to Jamal.
18:28Bunkies, Dad.
18:43They don't have any leads.
18:46But I'm a fine person that did this to my friend.
18:49And when I do, I'm a titan.
18:51Don't do anything silly, Dad.
19:02They're going to be found.
19:09Bunkies won't hurt nobody.
19:11I understand, baby.
19:13He was like a father to you.
19:16Come here.
19:19Come here.
19:19Don't touch me.
19:21Don't you ever touch me again.
19:22Hakeem.
19:26Don't disrespect your mother, Nathan.
19:30Hakeem.
19:32Make sure he's all right.
19:36Don't you worry, Andre.
19:39We're going to find her.
19:46How does she know he was like a father to us?
19:48A cousin's stupid.
19:50And?
19:51And Cookie knows everything.
19:53No, she don't.
19:53Yes, she do.
19:54No, she don't.
19:55Yes, she do.
19:57Yo, she wants me to come out the same day
19:59that you perform at Leviticus and get your press.
20:02She's Satan's daughter.
20:03Why is she even here?
20:05Ain't she supposed to be locked up
20:06for like 10 more years?
20:07Hakeem, she ain't that bad.
20:08Man, I don't feel like performing at this show.
20:12You know Tiana?
20:18What'd you do, fool?
20:20Come on, what'd I tell you about this damn reefer?
20:22What?
20:23Ahem, ahem, ahem.
20:26Police gave me
20:27Bunky's personal effects.
20:29There wasn't much left, but
20:31I think he'd want you to have this.
20:39The last time I'm going to tell you about this.
20:42Why does Lil Wayne look like the devil?
20:45Hello, Becky.
20:46Hey, Andre, how you holding up?
20:48Not great, Dad.
20:49Got a new prop.
20:51What is it now?
20:52Underwriting bank for the IPO launch pulled out.
20:54I think the kid Fofo controversy spooked him.
20:56I don't get it.
20:57I mean, controversy is hip-hop.
20:59That's how we get rich.
21:01Corporate America may not be ready for hip-hop, Dad.
21:04With Bunky getting killed and this kid Fofo mess,
21:06maybe it's not the right time to go public.
21:08No, we do it now.
21:09Look, call the banks and get them back to the table.
21:14I'll do my best.
21:14Look, you get this done,
21:18an empire is yours.
21:20Okay.
21:24I didn't want to bring this up,
21:26but I don't think Jamal's press conference
21:28is going to help the situation.
21:31What press conference?
21:36That looks good.
21:37Can you come over here?
21:39Behind there.
21:41And his hair looks good.
21:45Uh, yeah.
21:47Rhonda.
21:48Come on, chill job.
21:49Huh, fellas?
21:51Some white girls actually are brilliant.
21:53Oh, there's Dominique.
21:53I want you to meet her real quick.
21:55She's a fabulous publicist.
21:57I got two minutes, so make it fast.
21:58Where's the capers?
22:00I asked for capers on the damn bagel!
22:02Um, Dominique, this is Cookie Lyon.
22:05She's my mother-in-law.
22:06Lucius Lyon's ex-wife.
22:08Oh, Cookie.
22:09It's amazing to meet you.
22:11I've read all about you.
22:13I love your pums.
22:14They're fabulous.
22:15Oh, thank you, sister girl.
22:17Sister girl.
22:18I love you.
22:20I absolutely love you.
22:22So what can I do for you?
22:24Well, I have a son who's a musical genius, like his father.
22:27And he's also a homo.
22:28He wants to come out.
22:29So what do you want from me?
22:30I want you to organize a press conference.
22:32He could sing a song that he wrote about coming out to announce to the world that he's a gay.
22:36It could be huge.
22:37This is good.
22:37This is good.
22:38And she's the best publicist in the city, so everyone will show.
22:42But I'm not cheap.
22:43$8,000 a month.
22:44And make sure the kid shows.
22:46If you're just using me for my contact to stage some kind of performance, I'll kill Rhonda.
22:51I'm not joking, Rhonda.
22:52I'll kill you.
22:53I know you will.
23:00Hey, y'all, let's get another round of the long haul.
23:02I'm just getting this on film so that, like, it's documented, but you only put one lime in there.
23:08And I asked for two.
23:12Tell Tiana what you think of her.
23:15Tell Tiana what you think of her.
23:17Forget about Tiana.
23:18She's just jealous.
23:19Hey, baby.
23:21This is your boy, Hakeem Lyon, the original rap gangster.
23:26I got something for you.
23:30No one else.
23:31Hey, get out of here, my man.
23:34Oh, my God.
23:36Oh, my God.
23:37Oh, my God.
23:39Oh, my God.
23:40Oh, my God.
23:41Yo, how you gonna embarrass your pops like that, man?
23:43You know, Obama.
23:44Your dad is gonna kill you, yo.
23:46Man, so Barack Obama's a sellout.
23:48That brother's not even half of a brother anyway.
23:52Somebody know.
24:00I got a problem with some black boys in y'all fine establishment.
24:05I got enough money to buy this bitch and everybody in it.
24:09Don't do the camera, KK.
24:11Check this out.
24:12All you white people that voted for the first black president to make you feel good about
24:17not being racist.
24:18The joke's on y'all.
24:20Because Barack Obama ain't nothing but a sellout.
24:26Oh, come on.
24:33Oh, so the popo coming to shoot me now?
24:36Oh, man.
24:37Oh, no, man.
24:39Oh, man.
24:40Oh, man.
24:41They gonna be up getting like 10 seconds.
24:42Oh, man.
24:47All you white folk who voted for the first black president to make you feel good about not
24:52being racist.
24:53He's doing all the work for us.
24:57It's going viral.
24:59What's viral?
25:00I don't know.
25:01It's what they said on the news.
25:02Oh, so the popo coming to shoot me now?
25:09Man, ain't nothing funny about that.
25:12It is funny.
25:14Mr. President, I am so, so sorry.
25:17You know how he feels about you.
25:19He loves you.
25:20I love you.
25:21We all love you.
25:22He's just young and stupid and had a little too much to drink.
25:30Come on, Barack.
25:31You know, you don't have to use that kind of language.
25:35Hello?
25:39Do you know the world that we live in today?
25:42Do you have any idea what those cops could have done to your...
25:46Stop this!
25:47Stop this!
25:47Dad, let me explain.
25:48Get out of here!
25:50Look at me.
25:52Chill out.
25:56You're not going to believe this, but press RSVPs for the Leviticus opening have quadrupled.
26:03Everyone wants to see Hakeem perform since that video went up.
26:06This bad boy thing has launched him.
26:13I don't like it.
26:15Yeah.
26:15I know.
26:17And you're really not going to like this, but...
26:20The Kid Fofo story was picked up nationally.
26:23Megan McGann has been ranting about it all day, saying that it's irresponsible to grant Empire a seat on the
26:29NYSC.
26:32Okay.
26:34We're going to put out another statement.
26:35Yeah, we're going to put out another statement.
26:37And this time, we just...
26:38No, no, no, no.
26:38No more statements.
26:39It's not working.
26:40I'll go on our show.
26:42I'll defend my own company.
26:44CNN, OWN, and BET said they all come into Jamal's press conference.
26:48What are they doing in there?
26:50Looks like they're having a meeting to me.
26:54Will you drop Kid Fofo from the label, and do you feel rap lyrics are a dangerous influence on America's
27:00youth?
27:01I stand by Kid Fofo 1,000%.
27:03I think that rap is an expression of somebody's life experience.
27:07That's good, but try not to sound defensive.
27:10The goal of the talking points is to make you sound non-emotional.
27:13I wasn't being defensive.
27:15He's right, Dad.
27:15You don't want to come across as confrontational.
27:19Or like a man.
27:22And what's that supposed to mean?
27:24It just sounds like you grew a vagina, that's all.
27:27Rude.
27:29No more rude than that anger woman haircut you slap on your head.
27:32Lucius.
27:33Cookie, I got to go on YTV and try and talk in a way that don't frighten these folks to
27:39death.
27:43The Lucius line I knew would tell those idiots the streets ain't made for everybody.
27:48That's why they made sidewalks.
27:52The Lucius line you knew isn't going on that show.
27:56Yeah, I guess you're right, Kitty.
28:01I liked you better when you was a thug.
28:32I don't know how many times I can keep having the same conversation with you.
28:37Out of respect for Bunky, I'm asking you to do this.
28:41Don't do that.
28:42Bunky had no problem with me, and you know it.
28:44Yeah, well, other people do, and you know it.
28:47Look, if you make that announcement, I'm going to lose artists which will hurt Empire.
28:53I'm sorry, Dad.
28:54The world does not revolve around you.
29:00Your world does.
29:01I pay for everything.
29:04Your clothes, that $12,000 a month loft you live in, your credit card bills, your brand new piano you
29:14just bought.
29:16Come out, and you're on your own.
29:19I'm done.
29:28Who's here?
29:29CNN?
29:30V.E.T.?
29:31Zone here?
29:32If she cancels, I'll kill her.
29:34Did he answer?
29:34No, I answered.
29:35Keep calling.
29:46Hey, so where's that gay genius I've been hearing so much about?
29:50He's coming.
29:51I expect him here.
29:52Okay.
29:53What the hell are you doing?
29:54Where is he?
29:55Not here yet?
29:56No.
29:57Call him.
29:58Today we're here with hip-hop mogul and superstar Lucius Lyon, whose artist Kid Fofo was accused of inciting a
30:06shooting with his violent lyrics.
30:08Thank you for being here, Mr. Lyon.
30:09You can call me Lucius.
30:11First off, I have to commend your son, Hakeem Lyon, who recently accused President Obama of being a sellout.
30:19Those were not his true feelings, and he's personally apologized to the president.
30:24I found his comments bold and refreshing.
30:27I'm not so sure about the, um, exhibition, though.
30:31It was just being the kid.
30:32Yeah, well, he's actually an adult.
30:36Empire Enterprises has been accused of perpetuating violence.
30:41Do you think that the misogyny and celebration of gang warfare that's so prevalent in hip-hop music is healthy
30:48for our nation?
30:49Well, anything that expresses the First Amendment is healthy for our country.
30:56If artists are supposed to thrive, they need to have the freedom of speech.
31:00Right, yeah, you have mentioned that many times before.
31:03Let's go.
31:04Let's get out of here.
31:05He ain't coming.
31:06Do you have any comments on the Kid Fofo controversy?
31:10I got plenty of comments.
31:12Apparently, one of your associates would like to make a comment on that issue.
31:16Kid Fofo's tired rhymes ain't nothing compared to what Lucia's line used to spit back in a day.
31:21The same man who used to sing, the cops deny freedom for life.
31:26I ain't afraid to kill one to defend my wife.
31:29Your own lyrics are even more inciting than the ones that you're defending.
31:35Do you disagree?
31:41My music expresses my world.
31:45That's how I grew up.
31:46Where you either show drugs or you watch your children go hungry.
31:52Where half of your family is locked off in prison.
31:57Our music is more of a narration of an oppressed people.
32:02You see, the Empire artists are telling the next generation that even though they live
32:08in a world where Trayvon Martin can get shot down like a dog without...
32:21How does it give them hope if all the songs do is promote more violence?
32:27Well, there's hope in the fact that these kids are expressing their anger with music and poetry
32:32and not with a 12-gauge shotgun.
32:37Do you feel that you can still speak to these kids, even though you're now living in penthouses
32:42and yachts?
32:42If I try to talk to my sons, I don't think they're listening to me.
32:57Maybe it's me that's not listening to them.
33:01Did I look nervous or not?
33:02No, you kidding me?
33:03You handled it beautifully.
33:05Oh, it was so good.
33:07Thank you, love.
33:08Hey, did we get any traction here?
33:10Oh, immediately, like right away.
33:11The bank wants to reschedule.
33:12We got various others, several, wanting to opt in, and it all worked perfectly, absolutely perfect.
33:17What's wrong with you?
33:18Oh, nothing, I'm good.
33:19Pop, great, just great.
33:31Excuse me, man.
33:32You got my back, dog, I owe you.
33:34Yeah, no, you make sure you look after my son.
33:36Hold on.
33:44Yeah, I see you still trash-talking me, bitch.
33:47Watch your mouth.
33:49Now, you better be careful.
33:56So you just gonna let him talk to me like that?
34:01If he says something I disagree with, I'll let you know.
34:08That's a blast!
34:09Get off of me, Bernie!
34:10Get off of me!
34:24What have I ever done to you for you to treat me like this?
34:33I see why you got rid of her ass.
34:36She crazy.
34:37Effective immediately, your contract with Empire was terminated.
34:41Because of her?
34:42Because she's right.
34:43Your lyrics suck.
34:49No!
35:02I didn't mean to piss you off, Dad.
35:08I need you to bring that beast out tonight.
35:11I need you to bring that beast out tonight.
35:12Hear me?
35:13You're a star.
35:15And one day, Empire's gonna be all yours.
35:19Just don't let me down out there.
35:33Just don't let me down out there.
35:39I know.
35:40I'm gonna let her out there.
35:56I know.
35:58And...
35:58No, but I thought about it.
36:01It didn't feel right.
36:01In this business, son, you're going to have to do all sorts of things you don't want to do.
36:08There's a price you got to pay to hit big, and soon, that bill is going to come.
36:19Leo, um, I should go check on her key.
36:33Get me a whole bottle.
36:34I do believe it is called bottle service for a reason.
36:39You better slow down, mister.
36:41Andre doesn't need slow down.
36:42Andre feels great.
36:44I got Jamal and Cookie fighting.
36:45I got Lucius mad at Jamal.
36:47I got the money back in the game.
36:50Andre got it going on, baby.
36:51I swear to God, I will have you committed if you do not take those down to us.
37:08Man, I wonder where they're going.
37:10You know where they're going?
37:11To the bathroom.
37:12Those two are like rabbits.
37:15I'm going to keep this ceiling.
37:17Oh, God, just be quiet.
37:21What's wrong with you?
37:23Washer, please.
37:26Man.
37:30Man, Fofo was supposed to play with me.
37:32Now he out.
37:33Well, whatever.
37:35You don't need that fool.
37:36You're ten times more talented than him.
37:37I rehearsed this to play with somebody.
37:39I don't want to play alone.
37:41I can't.
37:42This is your night.
37:45You know what?
37:46No.
37:47I don't know nothing.
37:48You know what?
37:48Leave me alone.
37:50I would play better if you was up there with me.
37:52For real.
37:58Killin' me, son.
38:03This is for my cousin, Bulky.
38:06Let's go.
38:14Y'all mouth is so red, man.
38:17I ain't scared of nothing.
38:20They say he's so red, glit.
38:24Don't be in the casket.
38:26Oh.
38:27Better hit the exit.
38:29I eat you for breakfast.
38:30Diamonds on my necklace.
38:32Guess that's what I'm blessed with.
38:33I'm a revolutionary.
38:35Pardon my vocabulary.
38:37I don't even remember ever caring.
38:38See me when I'm in the cemetery.
38:40Legendary.
38:41Wow.
38:42I do what I want and say what I want with no apologies.
38:48Excuse me if I'm gonna say what I want with no apologies.
38:55And they won't shut me up.
38:56No, no.
38:57Hell, no.
38:58No, they won't shut me up.
38:59Hell, no.
39:00Hell, no.
39:01I do what I want and say what I want with no apologies.
39:06They could be mad at me.
39:07Look at my family.
39:08I guess it's all in my bloodline.
39:09If you keep writing me for my apology, you'll be waiting for a long time.
39:13Not sympathetic.
39:13I said it.
39:14I mean it.
39:14You don't like it.
39:15Then I could care less.
39:16Not sympathetic.
39:17I said it.
39:17I mean it.
39:17You don't like it.
39:18Then I could care less.
39:19I ain't sorry.
39:20I ain't sorry for nothing I say.
39:23One hand on the Bible.
39:24I ain't in denial.
39:25I ain't sorry.
39:26I ain't sorry for nothing I say.
39:29Yeah, I know you can blame it on Tiana.
39:32I ain't sorry.
39:33I ain't sorry for nothing I say.
39:35One hand on the Bible.
39:37I ain't in denial.
39:38I ain't sorry.
39:39I ain't sorry for nothing I say.
39:42Yeah, I know you can blame it on Tiana.
39:44I ain't in denial.
39:58Can I come in?
40:00No.
40:01Stay out.
40:07You look nice.
40:11That was dope.
40:14Glad you dug it.
40:16You want to go to Jet?
40:18Jet?
40:19Yes, Jet.
40:20You just want to have sex with me now,
40:22because I'm a celebrity and all, huh?
40:23I want to have sex with you right on this floor.
40:27All right.
40:28And why should I?
40:30Just come.
40:36Well, well, well.
40:38So Jamal finally got up on that stage with our kid.
40:43They look good together.
40:45They did.
40:46Yeah, don't get used to it,
40:47because next time Jamal's going to be out front.
40:50Oh, that's what you think, huh?
40:54You were right.
40:57Hakeem got it.
40:59He got all of it.
41:01But you don't.
41:03You're a horrible parent.
41:06How did you let that boy talk all that trash about Barack Obama
41:10and still let him perform?
41:12He's ungrateful and entitled,
41:14and you made him that way.
41:17Yeah, you'll make him a celebrity,
41:19but you'll make him a fool first.
41:21God, Cookie, I ain't trying to fight with you.
41:23I just want to say I'm sorry for letting Kid Fofo talk to you the way he did.
41:27And I dropped him because of her.
41:34What you need to do is drop this yellow bitch.
41:38Yeah, he probably will.
41:40When I'm your age.
41:43Except by then, he'll probably be a hundred and ten.
42:00What the hell is my damn car?
42:03Off in a fire Porsche, you dumbass.
42:06She's slow.
42:08Hey, Cookie, get in the car.
42:10Oh, hell no.
42:11Get in the car.
42:12Now.
42:14Let's go.
42:15In the car.
42:16Call for me.
42:23Nice to see you again, Cookie.
42:25Nice to see you again, Agent Carter.
42:28So you've been avoiding my calls, right?
42:31I ain't got nothing else to say to you.
42:32We had a deal.
42:33I did my part.
42:34Yeah, I know we had a deal.
42:36But you know what, Cookie?
42:38We're going to have to change that deal.
42:42Send.
42:44Okay.
42:47We need you to testify in front of a grand jury.
42:50No.
42:51Oh, I cannot testify.
42:54If I testify, I'm dead.
43:02You're going to get me killed.
43:11I don't say to you.
43:14Bye.
43:14Bye.
43:17Bye.
43:23Bye.
43:24Bye.
43:24Bye.
43:27Bye.
43:43Yeah.
