...From uptown, downtown,
In town, out of town.
We got it going on,

It's famous, baby,

It's the world-famous
Brucie B.
On the special mix tip
For all my pla ya n*ggas,

Ladies lookin' good,

We gettin' money uptown style,

...to my n*ggas from 1-5-5,
1-1-2, 1-4-9,

This is the stage.
If you was here,
you'd be definitely somebody.
And I was there.
Me, Mitch, and Rico.
We did our thing,
you know?
We was living.
We was living that life.
So, you know, I'm up at this cat's
birthday party the other day.
You told me about it.
Talkin' about Charlie Rucks?
Exactly.
- Yeah, I couldn't make that sh*t.
- Yeah.
So, I'm up at that birthday--
I didn't bring him nothin'.
So, I see everybody up there
got stuff for him,
- So I walk up to the table --
- Ain't got no soy sauce up there, B.?
No, they didn't put no f*ckin'
soy sauce in the bag, man.
Why these Chinese n*ggas always
doin' this sh*t, man?
f*ck the soy sauce, man!
Mitch, can I tell a story?
I walk up to the table, right?
- Chinese n*ggas...
- Pick up the cake...
Mush it in his face,
tell him, "Happy birthday."
n*ggas at the party looking at
me like I'm buggin'.
I showed that n*gga mad love, B.
We lookin' at you
like you buggin', man.
You buggin', man.
This n*gga... Thinks it's funny.
You took the whole cake
and mushed it in his face?
Whole cake.

So, why you got the "Help Wanted" sign

That sign is to make sure

That's whack. Basically,

we ain't taking care of
business in here.
Hey, yo, Mr. Pip, I know you need

Hey, yo, Hop Sing,

All right, let's bounce, baby.
His monkey-ass ain't worked
a hard day in his life.
That's why he don't know how

Think he the King of Harlem.
I hope your sister know

it's only a matter of time.
A matter of time.
Well, congratulations!
Good job, and you really put it

Nah, it don't look like

Look, first of all, man,

You ain't gonna be able to keep
the white bottom clean without it, all right?
Secondly, man, tuck the laces in.
You buggin' out.
You don't give nobody
a chance to, God. I want to.
Give you a chance?
You gotta do it in the beginning.
You don't get the shoelaces
all wet and dirty.
Man, cats start calling
you a poo putt.
You know what I'm sayin'?
All right?
All right, man.
Who is it?
It's Ace.

That's my clientele.
That's real money right there.

How many times I gotta tell you

sh*t playing in the store?
What you want me to do?
Like, not listen to the radio?
What?
I said, half the time,

What you want me to do,

It don't make no difference

It's my rules, my radio,
my store, my music!
You know I don't listen to this sh*t!
L-- I can't even understand them!
Look, can you even understand this sh*t?
It's for my ears.
Yes, I understand it.
Yeah, you can understand
that bullsh*t,
but you can't understand when
I tell you not to-- Ahh.
That's it, that's what I'm talking about.
You hear that?
You hear that?
That's music. That's singing.
There's beauty in singing.
That other sh*t is just talking.
"Yak, yak, yak, yak, yak, yak.
That's what I'm talking about,
you understand what I'm saying?
That's quality sh*t.
Hello?

Ain't you sick of giving me your money'?
Oh, sh*t.

You think you're

I gotta make drop-offs, too, B.
Come on, man, get in, man.

Man, I still hope we got

Hold on, hold on, hold on.
- We still have 5 G's, n*gga?

You gotta stop acting like

Make it $10,000, man.
What's wrong with you?
n*gga, we gettin' more money than you, man,

For every bump on your face, n*gga.
Whatever you want, punk.
Hey, what's you laughin' at, man?

It's all good.
Yep. You're so damn neat
with your money.
Come on, man.
You know me, man.
Cleanliness is next to godliness.
What's up, little n*ggas?
How y'all livin'?
You left this in your pants last time.
Do you always return everything
you find in the laundry?
Nah.
I didn't think so.
You find something in there, you keep it.
It's a tip for you.
- This?
- Mm-hmm.
That's nothing for me.
My job brings me plenty.
But you ain't no drug dealer.
I'm not?
Moneymakin' Mitch.
Tell me somethin' good, baby.
- It's all good, Ice.
- I know it is.
Why am I not a drug dealer?
I'm sayin' I don't see you outside.
The way you dress--
You dress nice.
What about your friends?
They dress nice.
Fancy.
- Tuck them laces in, all right?
- All right!
Don't be slackin' on that.
Yeah, he's your right-hand man, now.
- Next week, n*gga.
- Makin' that real money.
Yeah, but you-- You dress nice-nice,
you understand?
They dress-- whatever, loud-nice.
Okay. Thank you.
You don't even got a car, do you?
What do I need a car for?
Family movin' up in the business.
I know you gonna look after family.
What family you talking about, Ice?
f*ck, I look invisible, n*gga?
Did I pass the test, compre?
It's not--
It's not a test.
I'm just sayin'.
You like money, right'?
Yeah.
I'm broke, baby.
I ain't got no money.
Bullsh*t.
I see you shinin', n*gga.
I can smell a motherf*cker with money.
Even Ray Charles could see
you got money.
Dang.
Look at this n*gga.
Little Sonny and his crew,
the future of our nation.
Ain't that a b*tch?
Damn, man.
You got the John Wayne sh*t, man.
f*ckin' gun all up
in the 007 compartment, man. Damn.
Well, the way you dress, n*gga,
you ain't got to worry about those cats.
You'll be invisible up in the club.
Exactly.
Nah, I'm just f*ckin' with you, bud.
What you doin', man?
What's that?
You tell me, man.
It looks like coke, n*gga.
You f*ck me up, A.
You never say sh*t, B.
Just come out the blue
with some coke, huh?
Well, to tell you the truth,
I ain't f*ckin' with coke right now, man.
The sh*t just ain't clickin', B.
You know what you need to do, man?
You need to f*ck with that cat
your sister be talkin' to,
that n*gga, Calvin, man.
He sells coke.
Nah, I ain't f*ckin' with that n*gga, man.
He's dumb.
- Hey, man, what, man?
- What you mean "what?"
I'm just tryin' to picture Mr. Jefferson
hustlin' on these streets.
I've seen you roll up in the black Saab
with the gold BBS's, man.
I said, "Damn, this di*kety-stick
is really makin' this money.
He's really makin' money, man,"
you understand?
Listen, hey.
It ain't just about the money.
It's not.
You know what it's about, man?
It's about f*ckin' those skeezers
like that right there,
It's about drivin' these fly-ass cars,
And it's definitely about never dressin'
like a n*gga like you, man.
Okay, man.
Come on, man. Let's go be stars
up in this joint, all right?
Yeah, baby!
Dance it up, y'all!
Go on and get out there
and move it!
Come on!
Come on!
Yeah! This is all about boogie.
We boogie nonstop.
We at the top.
We got it goin' on.
A'ight, here we go.
- What's up? What's up, man?
- Hey, hey.
Hey, my man!
Ladies' lookin' good --
Yeah!
Mitch was a real star.
See, when the lights caught him,
he always looked good.
Yo, my man, Mitch, in the house!
Yeah! Lookin' good, King!
I see you!
A'ight, here we go!
And Mitch got love from everybody.
I mean, everybody.
What are you doing?
Go to sleep, little man.
Lucky, you're up.
You workin' today?
You know, don't call me "Lucky," Ma.
Been a long time since
I found food stamps
or something like that.
Now, don't forget when you
picked that $700--
Ma, that was when I was 12-years-old,
you know what I'm sayin'?
I'm grown now, and there ain't
a whole lot lucky to do with me
getting up and goin' to work right now,
So, I don't wanna be called "Lucky."
Thanks, Mom.
All right, baby.
Guess your sister got to get
a better man now.
Boy just got busted by the cops.
He was dealing right in front
of your building.
Didn't I tell you?
Can't do sh*t with that cash now
except hire a lawyer.
- Did you see it?
- Nah.
I heard about it on the way over here.
Cops must've been watching
his dumb ass.
Yo, chief, you seen Calvin?
Nah, he got locked up.
Yo, takin' his place?
Never mind.
Yo, yo, yo, yo,
yo, yo, yo.
Hold on one second, man.
What, um--
What you lookin' for?
Just one.
A'ight.
f*ck, B.
One.
You ain't got
no bottle?
What? Bottle?
What you need
a bottle for, man?
Plastic bottle,
whatever?
Damn, this is a
big-ass rock, B.
Mmm!
All this for a hundred?
Man, this is better than Calvin's stuff.
Word up.
Yo, I could hook up
with you later, right?
Nah, man, I'm across the street.
The building across the street.
All right, G.
Peace out.
You know what this is?
Yeah. It's coke.
Yes, but that's a kilo of coke.
How much is it worth?
$25,000.
- Damn.
- No "damn."
Damn, that's damn good, okay?
A'ight, I'm sayin'--
The sh*t on the street is garbage.
This crud that's washed
with acetone and kerosene.
This is the best product,
and you gonna be the only one
in the street holding this.
$25,000.
$25,000
is the street price.
Of that,
I get $18,000.
$7,000.
That's right, for every key that you move.
You know I--
I still got my job
at the cleaners, um...
No, it's perfect, man,
Because that's how
everybody knows you as Ace.
Forget about heroin.
This is the wave of the future, baby.

Until you find that man,

Go this way, man.
Hey, my man, go this way, man.

Nobody playing games
on these streets, man.
Y'all n*ggas better

Them n*ggas gonna be lookin'
for motherf*cking work in Queens
or some sh*t like that, man.
This is Harlem, man.
Y'all n*ggas better hold it down, B.
Y'all don't know nothin' about this.
Things really got hot in Harlem
when "Scarf ace" came to town.
It was like n*ggas love
seein' a poor-ass Cuban
just blow up to be the man all by himself.
You wait for me.

Come on.
You wanna f*ck with me? Okay.
You c*ckroaches.
Come on.
You wanna play games?
Come on.
You wanna play rough? Okay.
Say hello to my little friend!
You want more?
Mitch backed up his words
and ended up doing some time.
Now I'm all by myself in the game,
just like Scarf ace.
What's up, old man?
What's going on over here, man?
Man, bust it.
You ain't taking my messages
or something?
Keisha didn't call?
I dropped some tickets
behind this counter,
And this is what I find.
Is this yours
or you keepin' it for a friend?
Man, it ain't even like that, Mr. Pip.
Well, then, what's it like, Ace?
It really ain't none
of your business what it's like.
It's my store.
Anything up in here is my business.
You don't have to worry about that.
I'm gonna take that out of here.
I got a life of my own.
Oh, check you out.
I guess you know somethin'
about the game Calvin didn't, huh?
Ace, you better say something to
me if you wanna stay here,
'cause, see, I ain't doing
these type of favors for no--
I'm missing one of my tapes.
You seen my tape?
Yeah, you been wantin'

Fine, f*ck it then.
Take your ass home.

What you gonna do with $75, kingpin?
Hey, June.
Yeah, hold on a minute.
Hey, Ace.

Nah.
Oh, so what's going on, honey?
You wanna make some money'?
Yeah. Come on in.
Yo. Check this out.
How many bottles is this?

Damn. 2,000 bottles?
That's a lot

This sh*t ain't gonna

All that for $50?
Yo, man, this sh*t weak

Hey, man, you know me, man.

Don't insult me. Here.
Man, f*ck it, man.

Give me two of them Jones.
You trippin'.
Yeah, I was trippin', a'ight,
But I was gettin' money.
Talkin' 'bout real money.
Bottle this sh*t up quick, man.
See, other dealers were selling it
at the highest price they could get.
I sold it cheaper,
so I was sellin' it faster.
I sold it so cheap I started
taking their customers away.
See, I was wholesale
on the streets, you understand?
Hey, Lucky,
you want something to drink?
Don't call me Lucky, I said.
Whatever, Lucky.
What you drinkin'?
Fillin' this all the way up.
Now, in the end,
I made more money,
and Lulu always got his return
when he wanted it.
But I wasn't trying to keep
sh*t all to myself, see.
I wasn't tryin' to get on the stage,
and I didn't want people hatin'.
I put people on, understand?
Streets was happy.
Everybody could eat.

Oooh.

Damn, B.!
Hey, yo!

Yo, come on, man.
You watchin' that ass--
Count that cash so we can

In lockup,
brothers always heard
what was goin' on on the outside,
especially when it involved money.
And they knew Mitch was first in line
to get put on when he got out.
Have you been
keepin' it tight for me?
Yo! Hurry up off the phone, n*gga!
Wait. Hold on a second, B.
Did you hear what I just said?

But n*ggas wanna position
theyselves to make other moves.
Half of these n*ggas

All I'm sayin', A.
I'm not everybody, B.

But everybody do need to check out

And n*ggas need to be gettin' it

On video and sh*t.
Funny-ass n*gga, man.

Don't forget to pick up on them, y'all.

Yo, man, let me talk to

On the roller skates.
Keep it movin'. Let's go. Whoo!
Yo, what's up with your man?
Who, Rico?
No, I'm talking about this kid

The cops are watching you.
Yes, you hot.

You just need to lay low, man.
That's all you gotta do.
I'm hookin' you up.
How is you hookin' me up?
How I'm hookin' you up?

You know what, A.?

You're doin' your thing

He's a funny guy and all that.
So, I'm gonna step, a'ight?
But I'll see you later.

Man, I keep tellin' you
the same f*ckin' thing about things, man.
You always tellin' me, man?
What the f*ck is the use havin'
soldiers if you can't use 'em'?
That's why I'm Rico.
That's why I do what I do, man.
Mmm. What's up, baby?
Nothin'.
Mm-hmm.
So, when we gonna have this kid?
As soon as you start spendin'
more time with me.
Now you're stressin' me'?
Come on, baby.

This is the last time we gonna have alone,
and you just visitin' already.
Did I say I was gonna be there?

You understand that?
Hey, baby, you the one sold me the drugs

You f*cked up!

You ain't supportin' sh*t.

Hey, what about Sonny'?
Aw, you so worried about Sonny.
Oh, that's right.

Moneymakin' Sonny.
I better not ever see your f*ckin' ass

You understand me?
Let me tell you somethin'.

Everybody from the rooftop

Shut up with that cryin' sh*t!
I'm not trying to hear that!
What's the f*ckin' combination?
Aah!
She was 7 pounds.
And her daddy survived.
Only God and love
could have kept me breathing
after all those bullets.
I told myself when I could
breathe without a tube
I was gonna breathe deep.
What's up?
n*gga needs some work, man.
What's goin' on?
Ain't nothin' pumpin' right now, B.
Come on, man.
I know y'all got something.

Get that n*gga out of the car, man.
Get that b*tch out of the car.
Get the f*ck up.
Get up. Do you know what Calvin did?
- Come on, man. Don't do this.

Your sneakers, too!
Next time you talk about Calvin.
Get off the block!
With me out the gang,
sh*t got dry up on the
streets real quick.
Watch your f*ckin' mouth next time!
And Rico ain't showin' nobody love.

Ay, oh, ay, n*ggas get

You be a'ight, n*gga.
You're tough, right?
I'm out, Rico.
You understand what I'm saying?
Look at me.
I've been shot in the head, baby.
My body different.
I'm breathing different.
You understand what I'm saying'?
The doctor said I wasn't gonna

You understand what I'm saying?
I'm out.
Yo, A., man, pull your skirt down, B.
The streets is missing you, yo.
Come on, man. What you want--

Yo, A., man, it's like this, man.

Everybody gettin' antsy

I know what floats A's boat.
Remember this, n*gga?
We can go right around the corner.

You got paper.
- Right here.

Aah!
A'ight, n*gga?
You clean now.
Aah!
That motherf*cker's gone.
He's not coming back, B.
I laid the murder game down.
Letting n*ggas know
we not f*ckin' around, man.
Let's just cool, yo.
What the f*ck are you doing, man?
Do you even know
what you're doing, man?
Don't have the f*ckin' cops
coming up in here
looking for me, man,
on account of some sh*t you did.
You understand?
sh*t is hot.
Well, then you need to give up the connect
and let us handle sh*t then, B.
Look, man, we know what's hot
on the streets, man.
Believe me, man.

But, yo, man, we just got to

I mean, it's like what the f*ck

You know your connects

And there's crack sh*t movin' in.
You know what?
You just need a little more rest, B.
Cover up.
Get you some soup.
Some tea.
Come on, man.
You're talking crazy, B.
Ay, yo, check here your man.
Give him a thermometer,
take his temperature or something, man.
I'm outta here, Mitch.
Peace, baby.
Still got the flash of that gun
in my head, man.
That white light.
And it was like that light, man,

"You're dead."
A., you ain't got to be
thinking about that, man.
You here. You blessed.
A'ight, baby?
You blessed.
Seeing that light for a long time.
Gettin' this money.
Trying to stay, you know,
trying to stay up out the light.
Up out the spotlight,
the club,
and all that kind of stuff, man.
Trying to hide.
Trying to, you know--
But it's all fake.
Understand what I'm sayin'?
This life.
This game,
there ain't no love in it.
It don't love you back.
No. I feel ya, A.
I do, man.
But see, man,
a n*gga like me, man,
I love the game.
I love the hustle, man.
I be feelin' like one of them
ball-playin' n*ggas, you know'?
Like Bird or Magic
or something.
Yeah, you know a n*gga got dough.
A n*gga could leave the league.
But if I leave,
the fans still gonna love me, man'?
I get love out here in Harlem, man.
I done sold coke on these streets, man.
Hash, weed, heroin.
As long as n*ggas is feeling it,
a n*gga like me can hustle it.
That's my gift in life, A.
You know?
What? What the f*ck you laughing at, B.?
You, man.
You're funny, man.
You're a hustling motherf*cker, man.
For real, baby.
You're f*ckin' killin' me, man.
Come on.
You know me, baby.
Man.
Yo. I'm gonna hook you up

What's going on?
Huh?

Who gave this to you?
What's this a joke or something?
Where's this n*gga Ice?
You told him not to come here!
What is he supposed--
Look, I know what I told him to do.
Look, did he tell you anything?
Does he know anything?
No, Mitch! sh*t!

Who gave this to you?
Look, look, look.
Stop talking about my money.
Look, let me find out what's going on first!
Just calm down.
Calm down!
Get away.
Look, he's probably on 42nd street

or something like that, all right?
Let me just take care of it.
Let me look and see what's going

All right? Calm down.
Yo, A., Sonny's gone, man.

Yo, somebody took him, man. Somebody.
What you mean somebody took him?
Nah, this sh*t is real, B. They came around,

Who? Who?
Look, they want $500,000
or they gonna kill him or something.
That's what they said, man.

I only got 120 thou on me right now, cash.
A., I need that connect, man.
I need to get these keys, man,

for Sonny's ransom fee.
Slow down a second, man.
I got you. You know, I got you-
You know what I'm saying?
'Cause this ain't for him, A.
This ain't for him, man.
Right.
They j*rked him, man.
They f*ckin' j*rked him, man.
They sent me his finger
in an envelope, man.
All bloody and sh*t.
I don't know what to do, A.
I don't, man.
I feel naked out here, B.
I'm thinking about how they got Sonny
in some abandoned building
or some basement
just f*ckin' bleedin', man.
He's dyin', man.
They're killin' my little man, B.
I'm about to beat on
some real murder sh*t, A.
I'm telling you, man.
Any n*gga that ever looked
at me wrong,
owes me money,
or ever said any jealous
bullsh*t about me is f*ckin' dead.
You understand what the f*ck

But I need my little man back, B.
I need him back, man.

What?
He's dead!
f*ck!
f*ck! f*ck! f*ck!
Oh.

All I had left of Mitch
was his voice in my head
saying that he was gonna meet
up with Rico that night.
You good?
You know I got all my n*ggas
lookin' for the little n*gga now, B.
Sonny like my little brother, too.
Anything you need let me know.
Good-lookin', baby,
'cause I need your help, Ric.
I need you to help me sell these 14 keys
so I can get this ransom money
for Sonny, man.
You got 14 bricks right there?

Hey, yo, A.
What up?
You a'ight, B.?
No, man.
f*cked up.
You know I'm f*cked up
over this sh*t, too, B.
I murdered them n*ggas
who did that sh*t to Mitch, B.
I'm trying to find out.
I haven't found
any of the damn keys
in that building with Mitch.
Keys?
Yeah, I gave Mitch a set of keys
to get Sonny back, man.
I know he had the f*ckin' keys
in there with him, man.
Now, you know, I got to get
the money or the keys, man,
To pay this connect back with.
Hey, yo, B., why you ain't
callin' me on that sh*t, B.?
You know I would have went
with that n*gga Mitch
and made that sh*t
happen for you, ay.
I know, I know, man.
That's on me. I f*cked up.
You talk to Mitch yesterday?
I ain't talked to Mitch
or see that n*gga
the whole goddamn day
yesterday, B.
What happened to your face, man?
What?
I said, "What happened to your face?"
This sh*t?
I was f*ckin' with this
wild-ass b*tch last night.
You know how I play, B.
That's wild, boy.
You a wild motherf*cker, man.
- Yeah.
- You videotape that sh*t?
You think you know me and sh*t, man.
I ain't tape that sh*t last night, B.
I kept another set of keys,
understand?
To sell for when
the ransom was paid.
Now, look, the way
sh*t is now, man,
It's too hot out on the streets
for me to be caught with myself
trying to go out there
and conduct something.
I'm gonna need you to do me this.
I want you to sell
these keys for me.
Give me the money,
I can pay it to the connect.
You know what I'm sayin'?
Then I take you in there,
introduce you to the connect.
So you want me to sell all the keys?
Yeah. It's like this.
I been talking to these
kids from out of town
who say, you know,
they'd take these keys--
Buy them at a higher price
than what's goin'.
You understand what I'm sayin'?
So, you know, all you
got to do is sell them.
Then you take the extra cheese
off the top.
You understand what I'm sayin'?
Then I can walk away.
We all can walk away set.
And you're cool
with that?
I'm cool.
I'm cool with that.
I don't believe you, A.
I mean, you gonna give
up all this sh*t?
About how much?
Yeah, n*gga.
I said I was going.
I wanted out.
Oh, no. I'm gonna need more
than that for sure.
I wasn't playin' when I said that.
You understand?
What's up, man?
A'ight?
- A'ight.
- Good.
Let's go up here.
After you.
You're crazy, B.

Freeze! Put your hands up!

Drop the bag!
Drop the bag!
Anything you need let
me know, man.
Down!
You lookin' to play no ball, baby?
Yo, A., call me, B.
Call me, B.
A'ight?
Yeah, I called him.
And I gave him the number
of fake-ass dealers
who turned out to be the feds.
See, I knew Rico's
greed would destroy him
and set me free.
I'm sure that he would say
I went out like a punk.
But f*ck it.
It's a price I could live with.
I don't like the motherf*cker anyway.
I did it.
25 to life--
I did that.
Rico can't live with that.
I ain't snitchin' on nobody
from Harlem, man.
I'll give you a couple cats
down in D.C.
doing they thing out of town,
doing they thing,
but, um, I'm not snitchin'
on nobody in Harlem
'cause when I come home,
I'm still gonna be the King.
Meanwhile,
Janet sat by the phone,
but no more calls came.
Mitch had it right about Ice.
His uncle was the one
not looking out for family.
His bitterness
towards his nephew Mitch
was taken out on his other
nephew Sonny.
His own blood.
Tommy did Ice's dirty work.
When the ransom money didn't come,
he killed Sonny.
The game was over.
All right, you know what I'm sayin'?
Now there's a new game.
Us old players are gone.
But you can see our story
on music videos
with prop guns
and fake champagne.
I guess you don't have to be
somebody no more.
I guess you can just front like
you somebody you ain't.
I have a family.
Lulu's bag of diamonds made
a down payment on a new life.
As my man Mitch would say,
"Life is good."
Maybe I will be the George Jefferson
of the neighborhood.
I'll get back to you on that.
Like "what?"
looking down here like--
Look at the world like
down here like "what?
Money, money.
Action!
Battle physically.
Conquer mentally.
Battle physically.
Conquer mentally.
Battle physically.
