00:01Previously on Empire
00:02Police think they got a witness for Bunky's murder.
00:05I want to find out who it is.
00:07Can you get him now?
00:08Yes, sir.
00:08Kid Fofo signed with Billy Beretti.
00:10He's my enemy.
00:12Go after him.
00:14You gotta heal us.
00:15There's no cure for that.
00:17You just want to have sex with me now,
00:18because I'm a celebrity and all, huh?
00:19I don't want to keep them together.
00:21You're M.I.T.
00:22I don't understand you!
00:24You don't have to understand me!
00:26My obedience is no longer for sale.
00:28You sure you won't give everything up?
00:30We're going after his empire.
00:31I'm gonna take it.
00:35I'm gonna ask you one more time.
00:37What do you want?
00:39I just told you we can shoot a music video,
00:41pop some bottles,
00:42get some pretty girls,
00:43and then we can get some gigs.
00:45You want to run Empire one day?
00:46Because that's not gonna cut it!
00:48At least I got songs.
00:50Jamal doesn't have any new songs.
00:52He's so busy complaining about
00:53how life sucks living in Bushwick
00:56because he cut himself off.
00:57Look, I'm not talking about Jamal.
00:58I'm asking you, what do you want?
01:01Lucius, let's just think about
01:02pushing back the release date for the album.
01:04No, no, we're not pushing back the release date.
01:06His album drops the day that Empire goes public.
01:09Why are you writing everybody so hard?
01:11Okay, let me explain to y'all what I want.
01:14Let me tell you what I want.
01:15What?
01:16What I want is a better office,
01:17not a broom closet on the 13th floor next to accounting.
01:22And I would also like to have full benefits
01:25for my assistant here.
01:27Sir, there's nothing I can do.
01:29Homegirl gave HR a dead person social security number.
01:32Sorry, but I don't do taxes.
01:34Cookie, I will work on getting you a better office,
01:37but right now I need you to leave mine
01:39so I can do my job.
01:40Yeah, because your little Molly Ma,
01:42he need all the help he can get right now.
01:44You know what?
01:45You need to stop rapping like you from the streets
01:48because you rap out that life.
01:51You want to know why no apologies was so good?
01:54It was the best thing you ever did
01:55because it was about Bunky.
01:58And that was real for you.
02:00You rapped from here.
02:02Stacy.
02:06Where's your office, Boo Boo Kitty?
02:08You know what?
02:08You don't need to just put me on in her office.
02:10I know what Hakeem needs.
02:12And it's not some debutante with a bougie ear
02:16doesn't want to disturb her pearls.
02:19What I want is for everyone
02:22to be talking about Empire
02:24until this IPO is launched.
02:27What I want is everyone talking about Hakeem.
02:29What I want most of all
02:31is for you to put Donkey Kong in a barrel
02:33and get the hell out of my office.
02:35Hmm.
02:38You stole those from down the hall, didn't you?
02:40I didn't steal a damn thing.
02:43I produced this album.
02:46And I produced all those albums.
02:49Are you good?
02:50Yes.
02:52I'm the best producer Lucia's lines ever had.
02:55And I'm about to make him remember how.
02:57Hey.
02:58Hey, girl.
03:00This is the office they gave you?
03:01Uh, it's temporary.
03:03That's wrong.
03:04What you want, Tiana?
03:05I was wondering if you could listen to my new demo.
03:09If, you know, if you're not busy.
03:11Portia, get her something to drink.
03:13Have a seat.
03:14Okay.
03:14Thanks.
03:15Okay.
03:16Hey.
03:19So, uh...
03:24Uh...
03:24Why do you want me to hear your song?
03:26Well, it needs something, and I just can't figure out what it is.
03:29Why didn't you ask Anika what it needs?
03:32She's a suit.
03:34And that song you pulled for Jamal was dope.
03:37Is he, like, your only client, or are you working with other people, too?
03:41Tiana.
03:41Sweetheart.
03:42I own half this company.
03:45And I will be moving out of this little hell hole soon.
03:49Soon, as Lucia's can remember that I'm the one who deserves to be across that hall from him.
03:57Let me hear this song.
03:58Here.
03:59It's called Keep It Movin'.
04:00The hook is good, but it needs something.
04:03You'll see.
04:25I need you in the studio making new music.
04:29Alright, I'm on it.
04:30No, right now.
04:31Right now?
04:32I got passes to Titan Show in Brooklyn.
04:35All the thoughts gonna be there.
04:36It's good for promotion.
04:38So you dig Titan, huh?
04:40Love it.
04:41Yeah, I think he's dope.
04:44Well, at least let me check out the passes, make sure they're all access.
04:48Nah, they good.
04:49I got four.
04:51You know.
04:55You wanna know why Titan is so dope?
04:57Why?
04:58He's always recording something new.
05:01He's always on tour.
05:02I mean, I hear rumors that the boy don't even sleep.
05:07He's the baddest rapper in the game, and I wish he was at Empire.
05:13Hey, Becky.
05:15Yes, sir?
05:16For an Akemi Amor.
05:22Yes.
05:25Happy birthday.
05:27Dad, that's not cool.
05:28My birthday's a month away.
05:31Oh, my God!
05:32Oh, yes!
05:33I love Titan!
05:34Oh, my God!
05:35Thank you!
05:37You better get going.
05:38Okay.
05:39That's cold, Dad.
05:40That's foul.
05:43This race between you and Jamal, it's yours to lose.
05:50Prove to me that you're as bad as Titan.
05:55That's all I want.
06:07And now, 3-4 Entertainment presents...
06:12Multi-Ramey Award winner...
06:15Captain King...
06:17Playtime!
06:19You made your red hand!
06:20Oh, my God!
06:22Oh, my God!
06:22Oh, my God!
06:36Ladies, you need to hold it right there.
06:38All access, boo-boo.
06:39Yes, all access.
06:41Come through.
06:42I cannot wait to meet you.
06:45Excuse you!
06:46Hold up, Pooh.
06:47Hey, get off me.
06:48Do I know you?
06:49You ain't remember me?
06:50Should I remember you?
06:51Yeah.
06:52You're the ones that lit it up.
06:53What you gonna do, huh?
06:56Get off me!
06:57Get off me!
07:02Get off me!
07:03Get off me!
07:05Get off me!
07:06Get off me!
07:09Get off me!
07:09Get off me!
07:09Get off me!
07:09Get off me!
07:09I can't believe Titan is still locked up.
07:12He's making headlines.
07:13They're calling him the savior of hip-hop.
07:16And I hear his contract renewal stalled.
07:20I think your old partner, that scumbag Beretti...
07:23Damn it.
07:24...is using his arrest as leverage.
07:26Trying to undercut his deal.
07:29You hear me talking to you?
07:31What's up?
07:32What you doing?
07:33How?
07:37I can't...
07:38I can't make it stop.
07:41What'd the doctor say?
07:43The doctor said it's serious.
07:51Serious?
07:52How?
07:55Lucius.
08:01I have Baelas.
08:09They're not giving me much time.
08:11They said I had like three years at best.
08:20Stop.
08:41There are gonna be some changes around here.
08:43In addition to me managing Jamal...
08:46I'm sorry I'm late.
08:48Good morning.
08:49What are you doing here?
08:50This is a closed status meeting.
08:51Yeah.
08:52And speaking of status,
08:53I was just about to inform the A&R department
08:56that as of this morning,
08:58in addition to handling and managing Jamal,
09:01I'm also handling this label's fiercest young female artist.
09:06Awesome news, right?
09:07Are you out of your mind?
09:10I thought you'd be cool.
09:11So, from now on, I handle and approve all things Tiana.
09:16Performances, appearances, recordings, everything, down to her nail gel color.
09:21Y'all clear on that?
09:22We'll discuss this later.
09:23No, there's nothing to discuss, sweetheart.
09:25Why don't you go to the studio? I'll catch up.
09:28All right.
09:29It's your fierce self.
09:30Y'all wait to see what I do with her.
09:34Are we gonna have some problems?
09:36Wow.
09:39Cookie, I don't have time for this right now.
09:41I have to run a meeting.
09:43If you wanna stay, you stay.
09:44I don't care what you do.
09:47Okay, well then I will stay.
09:49Good morning, everyone.
09:51Um, first order of business.
09:54Kid Fofo, we don't have him anymore.
09:56No, good riddance.
09:58Did y'all a favor as far as I'm concerned.
10:00As I said, Kid Fofo, he's not on our roster.
10:03So, who do we have? Who can we get? Who's making noise?
10:08Who's filling up the hip-hop blogs?
10:10Titan. Basically, nobody else exists.
10:13He's making a fortune for Creedmoor, outselling every genre.
10:17Yeah, but we don't have Titan, so we need somebody else.
10:19Y'all don't understand the difference between the real deal and a poser.
10:23You need to get some authenticity up in here.
10:25We need somebody like Titan.
10:28I don't want someone like Titan.
10:31The Empire wants Titan.
10:36Bring him here.
10:38Ms. Calhoun, can I see you for a second?
10:41Don't worry about it. I'll take it from here.
10:45So, how do we go about getting Titan?
10:48How do you know why I've been so hard on you?
10:51And been pushing Hakeem so hard?
10:54I need my successor positioned, and I need our company to be stronger than it's ever been.
10:59I need you to be strong now.
11:02What does Titan have to do with this?
11:05You heard them in the A&R meeting.
11:07He's the most authentic artist since Tupac.
11:10They're not talking about Empire.
11:12They're talking about him.
11:13I know what I'm saying, baby.
11:14He's with Creedmoor.
11:17Well, that's our added bonus.
11:20Because if we poach him from Creedmoor...
11:23That's a bullet to Reddy's head.
11:26You're right.
11:28That's brilliant.
11:30Okay.
11:32I'll sign him.
11:33No, no, no.
11:34I told Vernon to handle this.
11:36He's involved in some gang beef, and it's just dangerous.
11:40Lucius, stop treating me like I'm some damn baby doll.
11:43Nobody's treating you like a baby.
11:44I'm treating you like...
11:45What's this I hear about you trying to steal an artist from a competing label?
11:49You watch your tone in my office.
11:52Everyone steals artists.
11:54Yeah, it's a part of the game, baby.
11:56Not right before a public stock offering.
11:58I'm obliged to caution against unsavory business practices.
12:02Mr. Mitchell's right, Dad.
12:03Poaching a jail thug, it just sends the wrong message.
12:05I try to tell you, Cass, this is a potentially great PR move.
12:09Truth is, we're not poaching him.
12:11We are saving his life.
12:13To me, it looks like payback for Beretti stealing Kid Fofo.
12:16He didn't steal Kid Fofo.
12:18Lucius dropped him because he's whack.
12:19Because he was too controversial.
12:21No, because he wasn't good enough.
12:22Look, Titan's narrative is real.
12:26He needs to be here.
12:28Beretti is gonna come back at us, hard.
12:30So, let him.
12:32It's about time we kick that fake ass pimp to the curb.
12:36And Beretti, the last thing he's expecting us to do is to hit back.
12:40He thinks we're gonna play nice since we're launching the IPO.
12:44Vernon, when does Titan get out?
12:47That boy ain't getting out.
12:48He's on a no-bail hold.
12:49Previous gun charge.
12:51Lawyers ain't doing jacking.
12:52His face is all over magazines and websites, and Beretti is still making money.
12:57I will go to BCC.
13:01Andre, can you check with your contact in the mayor's office and see if she can get me a private
13:06meeting?
13:06Hey, baby girl, you ain't going nowhere.
13:08These cats are real and you can't handle that.
13:10This is the dumbest thing I ever heard.
13:13Lucius, you really gonna send this bougie debutante to the county jail?
13:18Man, are you stupid?
13:19Ain't nobody gonna touch Titan when he's in Brooklyn Correctional.
13:22He shot Castro's top drug dealer.
13:24These cats are fighting over territory.
13:26They want revenge.
13:28Vernon, I need you to set up a meeting for Anika and Titan's manager where she can slide him an
13:35offer somewhere in their hood.
13:36I'll go with her to make sure she's safe.
13:39And Cookie, you're gonna stay out of this.
13:41You know I can handle this, Lucius.
13:42What you need to handle is your client.
13:44I hear he's having a little trouble since he's been waving his little rainbow flag around telling everybody he doesn't
13:50need my money.
13:59I know y'all hungry.
14:01I figured your gas hadn't been turned on yet.
14:04Cookie, you're so sweet.
14:08In the whole apartment, there ain't enough plugs.
14:10I have to get a power strip.
14:13Well here, buy some. Here.
14:15And while you're at it, get some things and fix this place up.
14:18I know how y'all divas like to decorate it.
14:20Please get that out of my face.
14:22That's Lucius winning.
14:23Suit yourself.
14:25Alright, Jamal, you're hungry. Come have some pizza.
14:26Do you want a slice, Cookie?
14:28Uh-uh.
14:29You know, this place ain't half as bad as where we lived in Philly.
14:33But me and your daddy still made some number one hits in there.
14:36We sure did.
14:37Shoot rats in between takes and all.
14:42So, what you got?
14:43My songs ain't ready yet.
14:45They ain't.
14:46Come on, don't you play me.
14:47Now, I'm trying to build something for us.
14:50I'm managing Tiana now, and I'm going after somebody else, baby.
14:54Somebody big.
14:55Somebody who knows how to fight for what they believe in.
14:58Well, I'm happy for you, and I hope you get everything that you want.
15:00Maul, you the one wanting to make your own music, okay?
15:04That's fine.
15:04But we don't have time for you to be having some mental, artsy, block, brain fart, whatever
15:10you having.
15:10I'm not.
15:14I'm not.
15:16Okay, Maul, listen.
15:17I need you to get to work, baby, okay?
15:20I need you to make me some music, okay?
15:23Now pull yourself together.
15:27Man, you better get off my couch doing that.
15:30You got a $2 million apartment for that.
15:32This is business.
15:33Ace, you haven't noticed.
15:34It ain't bad for business.
15:36There's a gazillion tribute pages.
15:38We're known as Takim.
15:39Well, Takim, we need you guys to find a duet to record together.
15:45Because I just closed the deal with the Teen Choice Awards.
15:48What?
15:49They have agreed that they want to shoot the nomination announcement concert at Leviticus.
15:54What?
15:55As you can imagine, the hottest talent is gonna be there.
15:59And we want the both of you to be representing Empire.
16:02That's a genius.
16:03I'm not watering my music down for no tweens.
16:06You can't be afraid of mass appeal, son.
16:08If you hook these little white kids early, you got them loyal for life.
16:12You really think I'm afraid of something, Dad?
16:14But if you're not prolific, Jamal's gonna catch up to you.
16:16Jamal would never do a teen show.
16:18That's why he'll never be as big as you.
16:21Exactly.
16:22Cookie's down, so let's get a crackin'.
16:24Oh, you ran it by Cookie?
16:26Of course I did.
16:27She's my manager.
16:28Dad, I tried to talk her out of it, but she-
16:30Okay, let me tell you something, Takim.
16:32I have worked very hard on my relationships in order to get this done for you.
16:37And I am not gonna be having Cookie messing this up for me.
16:41She's not.
16:42She's stoked about it.
16:43Okay, well, what exactly did Cookie promise you when you signed with her?
16:47To do the same thing she's doing for Jamal.
16:49Protect the music and make me a star.
16:52The same thing she did for you back in the day, right?
16:55Touche.
17:07As-Salaam-Alaikum, my sister.
17:09Wa-Alaikum-Salaam.
17:10Um, I need to speak to Sister Fatima regarding her son, Titan.
17:18I know your story, sister, very well.
17:21I followed you.
17:22They rip our families apart.
17:25And they lock up our strongest, trying to keep us weak, killing us at the root.
17:29I missed my baby so much.
17:32Some, uh, nation sisters led prayer and lock up.
17:36Yeah, they helped me keep my spirit intact.
17:39You must be happy to be back home.
17:43I'm back.
17:45But I ain't home.
17:46I fall asleep now just as lonely as I was on that cot all those years.
17:52Just the thought of me holding my own again gave me so much peace.
17:58But here I am.
18:01My husband left me.
18:03My oldest is too ashamed.
18:06My youngest don't even remember.
18:08I feel your pain, sister.
18:10You gave up your best years for them kids, and now you have to beg their forgiveness for the sacrifice
18:15you made?
18:16It's not fair.
18:18But it's called being a mother, ain't it?
18:20Yes, indeedy.
18:23Is Titan your only?
18:26He's the provider, the youngest.
18:28You know, I tell people, Allah saved the best for last.
18:33Yeah, my youngest is talented too.
18:35Strong will.
18:37I fear for him.
18:39My son protected himself.
18:41That animal that he shot burned down our community center the night before.
18:46Titan went there every day after school.
18:48He learned music at that center.
18:50Kept him off the streets.
18:52Man, well, you, you raised a good son.
18:56But from seeing his videos, he ain't following the nation anymore, is he?
19:00Billy Barretti lured him.
19:03If he had stayed with the nation, he wouldn't be in jail.
19:06Look, sister.
19:09Lucius Lyon's got an army of lawyers, and he wants to help.
19:15I didn't write this.
19:16Of course you didn't write it.
19:17Legal wrote it.
19:18You sound smart as what?
19:20I'm amazed by this.
19:21Lisa does the job.
19:23Ah, Detective Walker.
19:25Good to see you.
19:26Thanks for squeezing me in, Mr. Lyon.
19:28I understand you found Bunky's car.
19:30Oh, yeah.
19:30We found trace evidence in the vehicle, so I'm obliged to ask you all some questions.
19:36How often did you travel in this car?
19:38Well, it was maybe a couple times a week whenever we needed to talk.
19:42Before we all rode in this car.
19:44Well, yeah, that's what I figured.
19:45But, um, we think Bunky was shot around 9.30 on the 12th.
19:49Do you recall where you were at that time?
20:01Probably have to check with Becky, but I'm sure I was home.
20:08You were at home?
20:11Yeah.
20:12Alone?
20:13All right.
20:14Fifteen maids.
20:16Big place.
20:20The drama, the drama.
20:22The babies, the mommas.
20:23Maybe you promised.
20:25But you would say.
20:26You got some trip in your stride.
20:28There's only one pimp in this ride.
20:31Hop off the car if that is what you wanna do.
20:34Drop the drama thong.
20:36Do what you gonna do.
20:37I'm round that corner when through weekend rendezvous.
20:40Make daddy proud of you.
20:41Boo.
20:41I saw you.
20:43I saw you.
20:50Daddy, what's going on?
20:52Sit tight, Andre.
20:54Just be cool.
20:56I'll be right back.
20:58Officer?
21:01My father wasn't alone.
21:05Is there a problem?
21:07We just need to take a break with her out.
21:09Is that your boy?
21:10That's my son, Andre.
21:12No, we were together at his house watching the Mayweather fight.
21:16If you can call that a fight.
21:19I don't know.
21:19I don't know.
21:20I don't know.
21:20I don't know.
21:22I don't know.
21:23I don't know.
21:24I don't know.
21:25I don't know.
21:26I don't know.
21:26How you doing, Andre?
21:28I had one too many.
21:29I spent the night in your guest room.
21:32I was there.
21:40You okay?
21:41Yes.
21:44Are you?
21:52All right.
22:03I understand that you're more than Titans managers, your blood cousins.
22:08We grew up with them.
22:10Over in Marcy.
22:11Your beats inspired us, man.
22:13Right on.
22:13For real, bro.
22:15Appreciate that.
22:15Titan used to copy all your rhymes when we were kids.
22:18That's how we got started.
22:19Which is exactly why you should be with Empire.
22:22Mm.
22:25Hey, look.
22:25Um, y'all fellas want something to drink?
22:28Um, two black and rums.
22:30I got a scotch.
22:31You take care of this.
22:34You know, in case you were unaware, I am the head of A&R for this company.
22:40Not his assistant.
22:42My bad.
22:45Look, baby girl.
22:46Bottom line, Verretti got muscle over at BC Square.
22:49We ain't talked to Titans since the night he got locked up.
22:51Oh, yeah.
22:52It's deep.
22:53Our boy shot a Cashville gangster.
22:55Get down the top of the bravo.
22:57Ah!
23:00Ah!
23:00Ah!
23:00Ah!
23:01Ah!
23:01Ah!
23:02Ah!
23:04I can't even be around with you.
23:06Ah!
23:07Baby, I got this.
23:08OK?
23:08I'll find another way.
23:09No!
23:09I will find another way.
23:11Stay out of it.
23:15I went to see Titan's mother.
23:18Did you?
23:19Yeah, she's serious, Lucius.
23:20I mean, bean pie, prayer rug, covered hair, all of that.
23:24Serious.
23:25She raised Titan in the Nation of Islam.
23:27Titan is part of the fruit?
23:30Yeah, that's what I'm telling you.
23:35Nothing but racist views.
23:37And so is America.
23:40Every day I worry about my sons, don't you?
23:43I know how bad you want to Titan,
23:45but they're going to break his ass in prison.
23:47You lose your soul when you feel like the world's forgotten you.
23:51I never forgot about you.
23:55Couldn't.
23:56I did some things that I had to do
23:59in order to make sure that when you got out
24:01you would have all of this stuff.
24:03This stuff, meaning this material stuff?
24:06He just stopped coming.
24:08No calls, no letter, no explanation.
24:11Just left me twisting in the wind.
24:18Remember our first Christmas?
24:22It was cold.
24:24We didn't have nothing.
24:25We didn't need anything.
24:26You wrote me a song.
24:28You tried to get me to steal a Christmas tree.
24:31Man, you punked out.
24:33I made inroads.
24:35I'm going to go back and talk to Titan's mother.
24:38I think I can get her to see the light.
24:42But getting in bed with Titan means
24:44inviting the nation back into your life.
24:46Doesn't matter.
24:47I mean, this is business.
24:48It's not personal.
24:50The nation killed your father.
24:54Just let me know
24:55if you want me to go talk to his mother.
25:00You know, I never forgot about you.
25:04Keep telling yourself that, Lucius.
25:11Every time I show her my maneuvering
25:13She bragging about the way I give to her
25:15I do it sort of like a ruler
25:19Execute, execute her
25:20Stop, stop.
25:24You're doing it too hard.
25:25It's a G-rated song.
25:27I had to put intense stuff on it.
25:29Look, you have to be romantic.
25:31You have to be seductive now.
25:39Look, I don't care how you feel about your mother.
25:42She knows music.
25:44So you're going to re-record this.
25:46You're going to go to her house.
25:47Tiana will be waiting for you there.
25:49You'll listen to her together.
25:50And when Cookie signs off, we'll go to mix.
25:54You've got to be kidding me.
25:56Hakeem, I can't make you love your mother.
25:58But you will respect her.
26:01Because she's lived through a hell
26:02Then you have to understand
26:04If your music is ever going to elevate
26:06To the place of poetry
26:08Where it resonates in the hearts of its listeners.
26:12Like your boy Titan?
26:15Yeah, like Titan.
26:25Hey, Ma.
26:26Heard you found a rat hole to live in.
26:30Yeah, it's disgusting.
26:32It's noisy as hell.
26:33Finding it hard to work there, huh?
26:35Impossible.
26:38Well, you know nothing's changed for me, man.
26:40If you have your old place back, my support back, whatever you need.
26:44I still believe in your talents.
26:46Now, I don't need your charity, so here.
26:50I didn't expect to get paid for helping out Hakeem at Leviticus.
26:53He needed me, so I helped him.
26:55No charge, no strength.
26:57You're on the roster.
27:00You get paid like everybody else.
27:02I'm no one side, man.
27:03It's worth more than you got.
27:05I'm not going to get paid for something I didn't create myself.
27:09You're disobeying the very first rule of music, son.
27:14Always take the money.
27:22You know, nothing's changed for me, either.
27:25I believe in my talent.
27:26It's mine.
27:28It's worth much more than you got.
27:57You know, I just heard from my boy.
28:00Over at BCC.
28:01Uh-huh.
28:02Titans in solitary.
28:04Can't nobody touch him.
28:05Good for him.
28:06He needs to be protected.
28:08But I changed my mind.
28:09I ain't going after him.
28:10Why, because of the drive-by?
28:12No.
28:12Hell no.
28:14Cookie said that she was talking to his mama,
28:17and he's heavily involved with the fruit of Islam.
28:21For the nation?
28:21No.
28:22Baby, you like fruit.
28:24Look, son, all I'm saying is stay on Hakeem.
28:27He's got the goods.
28:28He can compete with any of these clowns out here,
28:30including Titan.
28:31He ain't ready.
28:33Listen, you definitely don't need to be messing with B'Ready.
28:35I'm messing with this right now.
28:37It's a bad time to fill it.
28:41Speaking of the devil.
28:43Is that B'Ready?
28:44What?
28:46Hey, no, no, no, Jay, let him in.
28:48Let him in.
28:49Him and his girlfriend.
28:51Is that you plus one?
28:58Wow.
29:02It's been a long time.
29:10So your big mama helped raise you?
29:13Big mama was real strict.
29:15It explains the good head on your shoulders.
29:18I always wanted to raise a daughter.
29:20Hakeem's really lucky to have you back.
29:23I was about your age when I met Lucius.
29:26Really?
29:26Mm-hmm.
29:27He was freestyling down the corner of 23rd.
29:30Mm-hmm.
29:31I started doing the wild.
29:33You don't even know what that is.
29:34He tried to outdance me, girl.
29:37Next thing I know, we got three sons.
29:40Where is Hakeem?
29:43He's always been late.
29:45Let's eat these dumb ones before they turn.
29:47Okay.
29:50I have tried to find it in my heart to forgive you.
29:53To forgive me?
29:57You were the one that broke the trust between us.
30:02That's why I left you.
30:03That's the whole story.
30:04The whole story is without me, you'd still be selling CDs out the trunk of your car.
30:09The whole story is without me, you don't have the maid to look after your sons.
30:14You don't get into the studio.
30:16You don't have me shape the album.
30:18Did you write one lyric on that album?
30:20No.
30:21Or play a single note?
30:22Was it you that performed it all around this planet and made it famous?
30:27No.
30:27But you saw fit to put your name on my words without even consulting me.
30:31You know how I found out?
30:33I was looking at the cover of my CD and read the credits.
30:37You're not an artist, Bill.
30:39I don't care how many artists you steal from by putting your name on their credits.
30:44You will never be an artist.
30:58Let me ask you something.
31:01Being a designer.
31:04When you're out there doing your thing, do people try to put you in a box?
31:08Especially when you're bringing in a new game.
31:10People are threatened.
31:12The more talent you have, the more they're going to keep you in a box.
31:15That's exactly what they're trying to do.
31:17Everybody want me to be what they want me to be.
31:20That's not going to happen.
31:22There's a book I'm going to give to you.
31:25Yeah?
31:25I read it when the industry tried to savage my 2009 spring collection, and it changed
31:30everything for me.
31:33It's called 48 Laws of Power.
31:36Hey.
31:37You're such a douchebag.
31:39Your mother went through a lot trying to make us dinner.
31:49I can't believe you get an ill girl.
31:51He's your apartment, a king.
31:53Amateur mistake.
31:54I'll make you a deal, Bill.
31:56If you promise not to exploit Titan, I won't steal him from you.
32:01You're powerful, man.
32:02Bill, you can use your power to help him get out of prison instead of letting him twist
32:07sit in the wind while you capitalize off of his, uh, misfortune.
32:11Yeah, the misfortune.
32:13I'm not here to negotiate with you.
32:16What the hell are you here for?
32:18Getting my music back?
32:19Only when I stop making money from it.
32:21Good for you.
32:24I'm here to tell you not to go public.
32:27I'm here to tell you cancel your IPB.
32:32Or what?
32:33If you go through with it?
32:35I will dig up the dirt of your past and bury your empire and everyone in it.
32:45And I think I'm going to change the name of this place.
32:49I'm going to call it Cookies.
32:52Get your ass out of here, Baretti.
32:54Bye, Bill.
33:01I've changed my mind.
33:04I'm going to go visit Titan in the prison tomorrow.
33:07I'm about to decimate Baretti's ass.
33:16Ew.
33:16Get it.
33:17Tiana going to go ape when she see me.
33:19I ain't even going to make it through soundcheck.
33:21Yeah, but you got to go to soundcheck, Hakeem.
33:23You got to be a professional.
33:24And if Tiana pops off and acts crazy and messes things up,
33:27then that's her problem with her dumbass.
33:29Dad can't blame you for nothing.
33:32I guess.
33:35What's that?
33:36Just a stupid bad pipes.
33:38And I swear, when they take a shower, it sounds even worse.
33:42Bet you want to move back now, huh?
33:43Hell no.
33:46Yeah, yeah, listen.
33:48You hear that?
33:49I know they not doing what I think they doing.
33:51I can't tell whether he's fighting her or banging her.
33:57Stupid.
34:01Yo, you should make a song out of that.
34:05Uh, uh, uh.
34:07Hit.
34:09Get the soundcheck, fool.
34:11And don't embarrass yourself.
34:12All right, I'm going to holler at you.
34:19Oh, there he is.
34:21I got this.
34:22Yeah, you get him, because I'll kill him.
34:25You're late.
34:27Look, I'm here, ain't I?
34:28You can talk about Camilla later.
34:29Come here.
34:34Don't you dare blow this.
34:35I worked too hard, Hakeem.
34:37Look, I'm sorry about Camilla.
34:39Sometimes I can get a little wild.
34:40Oh, you know that?
34:42But that don't mean nothing.
34:43Whatever.
34:43I'm cool with that.
34:44What I'm not cool with is you dissing your mother
34:46and then showing up to our soundcheck late.
34:48So you're saying it's cool if I see that girl?
34:51I'm saying let's get it really tight
34:53and bring this house down.
34:57Yo, give me my money.
35:00You can give your money.
35:04Show me how much you got.
35:07I got one out of this.
35:08I got to give you a message.
35:09Come on, man.
35:10You want me in the next?
35:12Let's play it.
35:12Yeah, that's nice.
35:13Keep playing.
35:14All right, let it ride.
35:15Don't.
35:15Let's go.
35:16Move.
35:17What are you talking about?
35:17Give me that.
35:18Take it.
35:20I'll tell you what I do.
35:21I'm working.
35:22Yeah, there you go.
35:23That's mine.
35:24Oh, oh, oh, oh.
35:26Give me my money, man.
35:27Give me my money.
35:28Give me my money.
35:28Take it.
35:29Give me.

35:50You can keep your money.

38:04I'm here to see Titan
38:09You're my idol, man
38:10Hey, uh, hold up, hold up
38:12Dude, you are not gonna believe
38:14We just rocked up here
38:15That Lucius frickin' liar
38:16You can call me Lucius, officer
38:18Yes, sir
38:19Mr. Lucius, sir
38:20I, uh, I can escort you in
38:23But, uh, only you, sir
38:26That's cool
38:28Thank you, officer
38:29No, I, uh, this way
38:32Officer, sir
38:38My mom always told me the music business wasn't nothing but the devil
38:42It already was the devil
38:45I see the devil on you
38:47You lost your soul a long time ago
38:49Yeah, maybe
38:52Maybe I lost my soul
38:55But
38:57I've lived through some hard times, man
38:59You seen a man die?
39:04You kill him?
39:09If you stay with Beretti long enough
39:15You'll sell your soul, too
39:18After
39:19He's robbed you and broken you
39:23Like he tried to do to me
39:25He stole from you, too?
39:26Robbed me of millions
39:28So you want to use me to get back at him, right?
39:31I heard that beef you had with Cashfield backstage was about him burning down your community center
39:37I did some of my first demos there
39:40That's what your mama said
39:431.7
39:45What?
39:491.7 million, right?
39:51That was the amount it would cost to rebuild the center
39:54I cut a check for that and your signing bonus this morning
39:58So you want to help the nation?
40:00No, never
40:02But it's your money
40:03You can do with it as you choose
40:05But if I was you
40:06I would
40:08Rebuild the center
40:09And put a studio in there
40:10And name it after myself
40:12So I could protect my legacy
40:16You can start by recording for Empire on this phone
40:43Hakeem
40:45Look, you were right about the song, okay?
40:48I said it so you won't have to
40:50Now I got to go take a leak
40:52Hey
40:53I gave you that advice because I care
40:56Look, I can't force a relationship between us
40:59But I think you do know I love you, don't you?
41:04Let me think
41:07I don't
41:08Wait, I can't
41:09What?
41:12I can't get back the 17 years we lost
41:15But I'm here now
41:21Too late
41:44You've got lyrics, man, I told you he's a beast
41:46I knew if you slipped in that cell phone that he would sign with us
41:49It wasn't that easy
41:50But it was worth it, right?
41:52Yeah, good job
41:54Well, since it was my idea
41:59How about you let me shadow you with him?
42:01Learn from the best?
42:04I don't see why not
42:05Really?
42:06Yeah
42:08You're good
42:09Thanks
42:16I lighten up time for you
42:18And I whipped Ty King and Tiana's duet into shape
42:21And now all the blogs are talking about how your son is taking off like a rocket
42:25No, that is your son too
42:29Oh, go
42:30Even though he acts like I'm not
42:36I like this picture of you
42:40But the headlines you read, the cookie strikes back
42:45You know something?
42:48You and I always made a real good thing
42:52You damn right we did
42:56I make you better
42:58Don't forget that
43:04Thank you, baby
43:05Baby
43:08You might want to clear that with an ink
43:10Okay, baby mama
43:14Still crazy
43:50Yeah
43:51Yeah
43:52You might want to clear that with an ink
43:54You might want to clear that with an ink
43:55You might want to clear that with an ink
43:55You might want to clear that with an ink
