Short filmTranscript
00:00:01Five years of absolute dominance.
00:00:03No face, no interviews, no mercy.
00:00:05The Ghost King of New York finally stepped out of the darkness tonight.
00:00:09Madison Square Garden, get ready for the one and only...
00:00:12See God!
00:00:33Holy shit!
00:00:35That's Z-God's signature mic control.
00:00:37He haven't said a word, but the beat is alive.
00:00:41It's been a long ride.
00:00:43I had to walk through the motherfucking dark just to find his light.
00:00:48You can try to read my lyrics, try to catch my pace.
00:00:51But you won't feel a goddamn thing until you've been in my place.
00:00:56I'm married to this game for better or worse.
00:00:58I'm called it a gift, I knew it was a goddamn curse.
00:01:01But I'm standing up now, holding my fucking ground.
00:01:04Raising the bar until the whole world hits the sound.
00:01:06If you're trapped in the storm, just follow this ghost.
00:01:09I'm the king of this bitch, but I'm the one who black the most.
00:01:15Say my name.
00:01:16Z-God!
00:01:17Z-God!
00:01:20Z-God!
00:01:21Z-God!
00:01:24Z-God!
00:01:26Z-God!
00:01:27Z-God!
00:01:28Z-God!
00:01:30Z-God!
00:01:30Z-God!
00:01:31Holy shit!
00:01:32The no-look flipped!
00:01:34Nobody handles a mic like him!
00:01:36Z-God!
00:01:37We love you!
00:01:52Zane's still clinging to that street-coat bullshit.
00:01:57Victor already wired the hundred million for his masters into our offshore camp.
00:02:02Fuck that old fossil.
00:02:04After tonight, New York only hears my voice.
00:02:08What the fuck is this, Mia?
00:02:10You sold me out for Victor's dirty money and fucked the stray I brought into our house?
00:02:21Shut the fuck up.
00:02:23Your time is dead, Zane.
00:02:24That loud mouth of yours should have been buried with you.
00:02:33That mouth made you a legend, Zane.
00:02:35Let's see what you are with that.
00:02:44Breaking news!
00:02:45Hip-hop legend Z-God has vanished.
00:02:48In a shocking mood,
00:02:49his prodigy Viper has claimed control of Z-God's catalog
00:02:52and signed with MT Records
00:02:54as the newly crowned Rap King.
00:03:28The-
00:03:29Thanks.
00:03:29Jesus, what happened to your throat?
00:03:30You got a name?
00:03:32Z-
00:03:32Z-Z-Z-
00:03:33Zero?
00:03:34Okay, Zero.
00:03:36My cub needs a janitor.
00:03:38Pays crap, but there's a cot in the back and food when we've got it.
00:03:41You want in?
00:03:43Shit
00:03:56I- I didn't know you were in here.
00:03:59Holy Zero. Didn't know you cleaned up like that.
00:04:02Oh my god, those muscles. He's fine as hell. How is this the same guy I found in the gutter?
00:04:09Let, um, let me put this on. I, I'll, I'll get to, to work.
00:04:21Viper, you backstabbing snake. And Mia, hell of a wife. Ever since you tossed me off that
00:04:27building like trash, I can't even grip a mic without my fingers screaming. But I'll squeeze
00:04:32this damn thing 500 times a day until I take back my throne.
00:04:39Born in fire. Born in the fire, I emerge from the gutter, I'm cutting the tongue of every coward
00:04:44and statter. Yo, stutter bitch, you jerking off in there or what? Get the fuck out and
00:04:53clean this shit up. Oh, she's a piece of shit.
00:05:08Yo, stutter boy, wipe that shit up by my shoes. These limited editions cost more than your
00:05:14damn life. Chop, chop.
00:05:17Can't even talk straight when you think you belong in a club like this? Please.
00:05:23Spike, back off. He's here to work, not polish your cheap-ass shoe.
00:05:27Zero, somebody puked at the bar. Go clean it up.
00:05:36Multi-slivable schemes? Internal pockets? Offbeat flow this clean? Jesus Christ. This
00:05:42is insane. Who the hell wrote this? Don't tell me. I've got a god-tier rapper hiding in this
00:05:48shithole. Who the hell wrote these bars on this cigarette pack? Shit. We got a set tonight.
00:05:59Who's got time to scribble on some busted cigarette pack? Looks like Chicken Scratch to me. Wasn't
00:06:04mine. Isn't me either. Chicken Scratch, this pocket is god-tier. Only person I know who could even touch
00:06:13this is Z-God himself. Pops, you serious? You comparing this to Z-God? You're saying only Z-God could
00:06:23touch
00:06:23this? They have no idea. Those words are mine. Makes sense. Y'all couldn't write a hook this nasty
00:06:32with a gun to your heads. Dad, isn't this Zero's pack? Chloe, get the fuck out of here. This
00:06:41mop boy can barely put a sentence together. What the hell would he know about bars? Ain't that
00:06:46right, Stutters? It-it's-it's mine. What? You wrote those bars?
00:07:05You sewer rats still breathing down here? Victor! What the hell are you doing here? You corporate
00:07:12bloodsucker! You're not welcome in my club! Relax, old Mac. The new King Viper just signed
00:07:17with MT Records. We're building a multi-million dollar flagship studio right here in Brooklyn.
00:07:23Your little underground dump is just in the way. Here. Buy out agreement. Sign it. Take the check.
00:07:32And get the hell out. Bullshit! This place is the last home the Brooklyn Underground's
00:07:36got left. As long as I'm breathing, Viper and you corporate bloodsuckers ain't taking shit.
00:07:42So Victor's the bastard behind Viper. Stop hiding your failure behind street cred.
00:07:47Mac, meet Scorpion. MT's top hitter. Two Billboard Top 10 singles this year. Against real talent
00:07:53and a real flow, your pathetic street cred doesn't mean shit.
00:08:01Since you bottom feeders love your street rules so much, let's settle this with a battle.
00:08:05What do you say, boss? Perfect. Let them lose by their own rules.
00:08:09You win, MT Records walks out of Brooklyn. You lose, I smash this dump sign right off the wall.
00:08:16And that sweet little piece of Brooklyn ass comes with me to my yacht for a month, doing
00:08:22every nasty thing I want. You son of a bitch. Lay one finger on my daughter, I'll rip that
00:08:29hand off! Dad, stop. I'll take the battle.
00:08:34Oh, you spiced little wildcat. I can't wait to hear you purr.
00:08:51Get your Manhattan asses out of Brooklyn!
00:08:55Yes! This is our block! Eat shit, motherfucker!
00:08:59Keep barking while you still can.
00:09:02After tonight, every last one of you is packing up and getting out.
00:09:06Shut it down, Brooklyn!
00:09:09I know you all hungry for blood. Trust me, Sonia.
00:09:13Here's the drill. Two rounds each. No rules, no mercy. Freestyle only.
00:09:20Break your opponent, burn the mic, and the crowd crowns the crowd.
00:09:25Yo, Brooklyn! Let me hear you!
00:09:30First up, Brooklyn's own, Rosie!
00:09:46You got this, baby! Show him!
00:09:49Kick his ass!
00:09:53You think you run and why? You just a corporate slave.
00:09:57Empty records, digging your early grave.
00:09:59I rep Brooklyn, the underground queen.
00:10:02You ain't nothing but the puppet on the screen.
00:10:04Green.
00:10:07Kill him!
00:10:19You're a street corner freak.
00:10:22Your flow is garbage.
00:10:24And your spirit is weak.
00:10:27Don't stain his mic with your cheap-ass perfume.
00:10:30You just a 20-bump trick in a Brooklyn bedroom.
00:10:34Trash.
00:10:35Know your place, slut.
00:10:38You biting Viper style.
00:10:39You got nothing to say.
00:10:41I'm off the floor if you send you out the back way.
00:10:44Even if your master Viper shows up,
00:10:46he better bow down.
00:10:47A pig fed by corporate cash has no place in this town.
00:10:50Her breath control is shot.
00:10:53Rushing the beat only shows panic.
00:10:55She's down.
00:11:15Get on your knees and open that mouth.
00:11:18That's the only way you're rocking the mic tonight.
00:11:21Holy motherfucking God!
00:11:23He just buried her alive!
00:11:24This shit is brutal!
00:11:28Pathetic little brat.
00:11:36You...
00:11:37You filthy piece of shit!
00:11:57What the hell?
00:11:59He's locked perfectly into the pocket.
00:12:01That kind of muscle memory.

00:43:39You are a god today on that stage.
00:43:43Zero, who are you?
00:43:44You've been hiding something from me.
00:43:46Zero isn't my real name.
00:43:48Before all this.
00:43:50People knew me as Zayn.
00:43:52Zayn?
00:43:53As in Z-God?
00:43:55The rap legend who vanished?
00:43:56How is that even possible?
00:43:59Then Victor, he...
00:44:00Victor was the money behind it.
00:44:01But Viper was the knife in my back.
00:44:04He was my protege.
00:44:06Then he betrayed me and took everything I had.
00:44:09Viper?
00:44:10The Viper?
00:44:11The current rap king Viper?
00:44:15What are you going to do?
00:44:18Victor has half the city behind him.
00:44:22With just us right now, I'm afraid we don't stand a chance.
00:44:27Next week is the National Hip Hop Summit.
00:44:30Viper will be there.
00:44:31I'm going to step onto that stage in front of the entire world and smash that traitor's throne to pieces.
00:44:37I'm going to give him a grand finale and let him watch everything he loves burn to ash.
00:44:49Stop drinking.
00:44:50Look at this.
00:44:51The whole internet is losing its goddamn mind.
00:44:54Everyone's talking about this Zero guy from last week.
00:44:57Look at the way he sits in the pocket.
00:44:59Those pauses after that chest-deep bass in his voice.
00:45:02It's exactly like Zayn.
00:45:07That is the funniest fucking thing I've heard all year.
00:45:11What, Mia?
00:45:12You think his ghost crawled back from the grave?
00:45:14Dead men stay dead, babe.
00:45:15This ain't a vampire flick, honey.
00:45:17But the moves.
00:45:18And that voice.
00:45:20Zayn hit the concrete from ten stories up, Mia.
00:45:23He's fucking fertilizing now.
00:45:26This is just some luck-biter who hit the jackpot on a few leftover drafts.
00:45:30Some rival label probably found a fanboy who looks like him and paid a fortune to reconstruct his face.
00:45:35That voice?
00:45:36Cheap AI filters.
00:45:38And that floatin' water shit?
00:45:39Total CGI garbage.
00:45:42Are you saying that he's just a fake?
00:45:45Some copykit packaged by another label?
00:45:47Learned a few tricks?
00:45:49And thought he could cosplay a god?
00:45:50Tell the committee I want him at the National Hip Hop Summit.
00:45:53I'm gonna crush this copycat myself in the live broadcast.
00:45:59I want all of New York to watch this knockoff get exposed for the trash he really is.
00:46:11Chloe, why the hell are we closed in the middle of the day?
00:46:14Why'd you call us all in?
00:46:15And MT Records come back to wreck the place again?
00:46:18It's not MT.
00:46:19It's Zero.
00:46:20There's something important he needs to tell all of you.
00:46:25Thank you for taking me in.
00:46:27For giving me a place when I had nothing.
00:46:29But I can't keep lying to you.
00:46:33Zero isn't my name.
00:46:35Before all this, the game knew me as Zane.
00:46:38Or Z-God.
00:46:43Viper, the man they call King now, was my student.
00:46:47He and my ex-wife betrayed me.
00:46:49They shattered my right hand, burned my voice, and threw me off a high-rise.
00:47:23But God had other plans.
00:47:24So we had the real Z-God scrubbing our floors this whole time?
00:47:28Zane, just say the word.
00:47:30How do we bury that ungrateful snake, Viper?
00:47:39It's from MT Records.
00:47:42An audition invite for the National Hip-Hop Summit.
00:47:44To ensure absolute fairness and prevent copycat accounts from riding the hype,
00:47:49all invited contestants must perform wearing masks assigned by the show.
00:47:54Fairness, my ass!
00:47:55Viper scares shitless, you'll show your face and snatch his clout?
00:48:00It's a trap!
00:48:01They want to humiliate you in front of the whole internet!
00:48:05Zane, we can't go!
00:48:08He went through all the trouble of building the stage.
00:48:11It would be rude not to show up, wouldn't it?
00:48:14But Zane, they're the organizers.
00:48:17They'll do everything in their power to break you the moment you're there.
00:48:22Let them.
00:48:23That stage will be their graveyard.
00:48:25I'm gonna smash Viper's throne in the finals.
00:48:28But before that, I need your help with a plan.
00:48:32Any of you know computers?
00:48:33I need to get into a Manhattan security system and pull a specific piece of surveillance footage.
00:48:39Once we have it, we can rip those masks off their faces for good.
00:48:45Zane, you asked the right man.
00:48:48Before I ever spit a bar, I was a ghost on the dark web.
00:48:52Put a half-decent laptop in front of me, and I'll make MT Records' firewall cry.
00:48:57One more thing.
00:48:59Anybody here know how to cut videos?
00:49:02You're looking for me.
00:49:04Perfect.
00:49:05Then let's put on a show they'll never forget.
00:49:13Welcome to the opening audition deathmatch of the National Hip-Hop Summit.
00:49:18Brand new rules.
00:49:19No faces.
00:49:20Just soul.
00:49:22Three top-notch coaches.
00:49:23One brutal battle format.
00:49:25Tonight, we find the true underground king of New York.
00:49:29Begin.
00:49:30Coming up first, Turbo X.
00:49:33See that knowing no wapers, but I fucking believe trust in this.
00:49:35Oh, it's part of my speed sometimes.
00:49:36Nobody in New York can keep up with my speed.
00:49:38Once I touch that mic, my syllables cut every opponent into pieces.
00:49:41And look who we have here.
00:49:43The viral mop god.
00:49:45Not only did he very graciously give our precious goddess Lexi a mud bath,
00:49:49he also left the former underground champs face down in the dirt.
00:49:53Tonight, let's see if this dark horse can keep the magic alive,
00:49:57or finally gets exposed.
00:50:02I checked the judges.
00:50:04Scorpion's on the panel.
00:50:05Victor's here too.
00:50:07They're all in on it.
00:50:09This whole thing is set up to execute you in public.
00:50:13Good.
00:50:14Saves me the trouble of hunting them down one by one.
00:50:18Then, go get them.
00:50:33New York, let me hear you.
00:50:35Welcome to tonight's audition, Bloodbath, where weak bars don't survive.
00:50:40Now give it up for our three judges.
00:50:48And our head judge, Viper.
00:51:03That hype reel was gold.
00:51:05Let the world see him as a mop clown first.
00:51:35First audition battle.
00:51:37Turbo X vs. Zero.
00:51:42To keep our blind audition rule fair and clean,
00:51:45both contestants will perform in masks.
00:51:47And this season's mask theme is poker cards.
00:51:52For Turbo X, the symbol of cruelty and execution,
00:51:55the king of spades.
00:52:02And for our dear janitor, Mr. Zero,
00:52:04the show has prepared something that really captures your vibe.
00:52:08The Joker!
00:52:13Perfect fit, clown.
00:52:15Don't just stand there.
00:52:17Start your little circus act.
00:52:19Make us laugh.
00:52:30Turbo X, let the slaughter begin!
00:52:45That flow is absolute lava.
00:52:47Turbo X just set this mic on fire.
00:52:50So, Mr. Janitor in the clown mask,
00:52:52how are you going to answer that?
00:52:53DJ, give him a beat!
00:52:58Coach Viper, what's going on?
00:53:01My bad.
00:53:02Finger slipped.
00:53:03But honestly,
00:53:04why waste a million dollar sound system on a toilet boy?
00:53:07Listen up, janitor.
00:53:09Rule number one of the streets,
00:53:11nothing is fair.
00:53:12This round,
00:53:13you're going acapella.
00:53:14No beat,
00:53:15no drums.
00:53:16Now, start your little show.
00:53:19Acapella?
00:53:20You probably can't even play the beat.
00:53:22Get off the stage!
00:53:23Stop embarrassing yourself!
00:53:27Don't shoot fast.
00:53:29This ain't a battle.
00:53:30It's a public execution.
00:53:34What's wrong, Joker?
00:53:35Take away the beat and pack out your tongue?
00:53:37Get on your knees and lick my shoes?
00:53:39Maybe I'll teach you how to rhyme one syllable at a time.
00:53:48I walk through dark while you choke for breath.
00:53:51You play at being king.
00:53:52I deliver death.
00:53:54Step to the void.
00:53:55Watch your fake empire fall.
00:53:57The clown is the nightmare answering the call.
00:54:00I'm the fastest you can't even catch.
00:54:05Unbelievable.
00:54:07Turbo X just cracked.
00:54:08Zero completely high-hacked his rhythm
00:54:11and choked him out.
00:54:12Shut up!
00:54:13That wasn't hip-hop.
00:54:14That was goddamn eulogy.
00:54:15You didn't beat him.
00:54:16You just bored him into a panic attack.
00:54:18I'm calling it a draw.
00:54:20The tiebreaker?
00:54:21A no-holds-barred death match.
00:54:23Now change their mic.
