GHOSTFACE KILLAH:
You think this is a game?

You want to smoke some shit, nigga?

- Here you go.
- MAN: Won't happen again, I promise!

Hey, what the fuck are you doing?

GHOSTFACE KILLAH: Sometimes you've
got to get your hands a little bloody.

You need to let that go.
You're about to be a father.

I know that, Rie.
This is my main priority, all right?

Go to the studio. Do what you gotta do.

I thought you were broke.

I sold my whip.

- Check that out.
- What is this?

It's my first check.

I promise that ain't going
to be my last, Pops.

Wu-Tang is a whole brand.

Do you have any sales data
to back that up?

POWER: We're working on it.

DIVINE: Power really did
pull this whole store off.

Hey, beautiful.

BOBBY: Jerome is out?

Showing up on my doorstep
like a lost puppy.

And there's a house just like it
waiting for us in Ohio.

- Mom, Dad!
- What?

- I made the football team.
- (CHUCKLES) Hey!

What happened to the Abbott?

He went to go develop a new sound,
to compete with the ministers.

And while the Abbott is busy meditating,
people out here hurting.

- Hey, yo!
- Yeah. What can I help you with?

I'm looking for
this David Axelrod album.

Song of Innocence. You all got it?

All our inventory is on the floor.

We have a lot of his
other albums if that works.

No, I really need this album, yo.

It's got this song on it.

Holy Thursday.
You know what I'm talking about?

Something you're gonna sample?

Uh...

Thank you, man.

(INDISTINCT ANNOUNCEMENT ON PA)

I have been waiting here for 30 minutes.

Weren't you the one who wanted
to synchronize our flights

so we can ride together?

I know. Look, I had to stop
by the music store real fast.

- All right?
- Yeah. Of course you did.

- Get your ass over here.
- I missed you.

- Yeah.
- I did.

Missed you too. I did.

- I missed you.
- You look good.

Thanks, love. So, what did you buy?

They didn't have what I was looking for.

But I've had this song
stuck in my head for weeks now.

Holy Thursday.

It go like...

(HUMMING)

No. Holy Thursday doesn't go like that.

Holy Thursday goes...

(VOCALIZING)

Now this is the... It gets bigger.

(VOCALIZING)

What do you know about David Axelrod?

Here we go.
You're thinking you're the only person

in this family
knows anything about music.

David Axelrod did some
of my favorite Lou Rawls tracks.

That version
of You've Made Me So Very Happy.

Mmm.

Do you ever think that you get
your producer gene from me?

Anyway, it's nice that you came all this
way from LA for Infinite's birthday.

Shurrie and Dennis,
excuse me, Ghostface.

- Ghostface.
- They appreciate it.

I haven't been out here
in what, like, six, seven months.

Since we got done doing Liquid Swords.

Now I gotta finish up Ghost's album,

and after that get started
on the second group album.

And the second album can't just be
better than the first album.

It has to change the game.

See, last time I knew how to do that.
This time, I don't know yet.

When I had the brothers
sign those five-year contracts,

I told them at the end of all of this,
I will have them at the top.

And top to me means
the number one album in the world.

That song that's in your head,

you're gonna sample that
for their next album?

I don't know.
But I'm looking for a new sound.

Wu-Tang always needs
to be moving forward.

Mmm.

And it's all going to take place
at the infamous Wu-Tang mansion

which I still have never been to.

It's not even like that.

Look, Dennis don't even want
to record at the house this time.

- He want to record at Staten Island.
- Dennis? In the old neighborhood?

- Yeah.
- Is that a good idea?

What?

Ma, you worry too much.

Ghost is back.

Yeah.

Shit! I might not have been here in
the physical, but my heart never left.

- You already know.
- Yeah.

(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- (MUSIC PLAYING)

Ready or not here I come

You can't hide
I'm gonna find you

Is it time for presents?

Presents? You haven't
even finished your cake yet.

I did. Grandma gave me the rest of hers.

Mmm-mmm.

You were not supposed to tell anybody.

Okay. When you're bouncing
off the walls from all that sugar later,

Grandma can give you a bath
and put you to bed.

- Presents.
- ALL: Presents!

Presents! Presents! Presents!

Presents!

SHURRIE: All right.

Anywhere you go

My poor heart got to know, oh baby

Hey baby

There you go.

A Tickle Me Elmo. Thanks, Uncle Jus.

You know I got you, little man.

Nia's been on my ass to get her one
of those for Gigi. How'd you score that?

What you mean? I'm the toy man.

We need to talk about that, seriously.

Nintendo. Mommy,
Uncle Bobby got me a Nintendo.

Uncle Bobby, you don't think
he's a little too young for that?

No. Mommy used to let me
play Atari all the time.

I absolutely did not.

Look, hand-eye coordination,
at his age, the way it needs to be.

I guess.

- Baby, I think that's all the gifts.
- Hey, hold on! You got one last one.

Open it up.

(ALL EXCLAIMING)

What's that?

That's that good
ice water shit right there.

Pardon me. Just saying, little man,
you're gonna be outshining

all the kids in the sandbox. Okay.

- Hold on.
- Don't break it.

Hey, sandbox, playground,
wherever he at,

he gonna let them know.

You didn't get all this gold
for me and Darren's birthday.

When Mom's back from Florida,
she's gonna have something to say.

Hey, what you're talking about?

I already iced out
her wrist last birthday.

The look of love

Is in your eyes

Hey, how you gonna play
with all these toys?

There's too many of them.

Did you get as many toys
as me on your birthday?

- No.
- How come?

I ain't have it like you when me
and your uncles was growing up.

But it's cool though
because we had that.

A record player?

No. The Delfonics.

See, any time I felt sad or alone,

I just put on one of their records

and start to feel a little bit better
and I want you to be better.

Have a better life.

Yeah, all of our lives are better.

And you've got nothing
to worry about. Okay?

- Okay.
- (CHUCKLES)

Out to get some more cake?

- Oh!
- (BOTH CHUCKLE)

Oh, Shurrie, I don't want your bed.

The couch is fine.

Mommy, it's fine.

Besides, Infinite would be so happy

if Mommy and Daddy
have a sleepover in his room.

He's been asking for months.

Dang, mommy, how many bags
did you bring from Ohio?

And what did you pack? Ball gowns?

You got some extra players
I should know about?

Best to be prepared than not.

And I'm rolling with
certified celebrities.

You never know
when an event may be happening.

You best believe, I'll be looking fly.

Mmm. (CHUCKLES)

- All right.
- Mommy, I'm so glad you're here.

- Yeah, I'm happy, y'all are.
- Yeah.

Been too long.

Oh.

- No. Don't stab me.
- (GROANS)

- Look at that.
- (YELLS)

- Look at that.
- He crazy like you.

- That's you.
- Yes.

Hey, yo, Bobby. Yo, when
we gonna do that next joint, son?

You got us here right now.

And all the brothers are in town,
which is rare nowadays.

All right, soon, yo.

Y'all niggas know I've got
to finish up Ghost's shit first.

- All right?
- Yo, quick heads up.

Gonna go on tour on the West Coast.
Quick 11 days.

Quick little flip.

Going away to record
Cuban Linx made sense then.

You know what I mean?

Ghost coming back to the concrete
to do his album makes sense now.

And I feel like that's what
we should do for the new album.

I don't know. I feel like I'm looking
for something...

something different.

Something that takes us to the top.

A new sound.

New sound? What that mean?

A new sound, nigga.

I'm still figuring it out.

Well, find it quickly
before shit comes up for everyone.

All right. Whatever.
I've got some B.I. to attend to.

- Yo, same, bro.
- All right.

- Let us know when you're ready.
- Nice to see you all niggas.

Well, I'm just gonna go hook up
this Nintendo real quick.

- Mommy, I'm about to head out.
- Uh-huh.

I gotta get some equipment.

- All right?
- All right.

- All right.
- Okay.

- I love you.
- All right. Me too.

- Take care, baby.
- I will.

Hey, Mommy, I got to bounce.
I got to pick up some medicine.

I hope Nia and Gigi,
they feel better soon.

Hey, baby.

- Oh, hit!
- She threw up again?

No, I was just about to go to Pathmark.

Hold on, baby.

Mommy, what happened to your arm?

Um...

Me and Randy going down some steps.

- He tripped and grabbed my arm.
- Randy's got a strong grip.

Yeah, well, he's taller than you.
You haven't seen him in a while.

Let me go get changed out of this.

The new MPC just came in.
Have you tried it yet?

No, not yet.

Let me get me one of those.

Is there something specific
you're looking for?

Nothing specific. I just wanna
try different things, you know.

- Let me let me grab this too.
- Yeah.

Oh, shit! Hey, yo!

What about this?

- Slide guitar.
- A slide what?

Slide guitar. Like you know,
the George Harrison song, Give Me Love?

Yeah. "Give me peace on earth."

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Let me grab this too, right.

- You got it.
- Yeah. Fuck it.

Uh...

We're not supposed to,

but I'd kick myself
if I didn't say something to you, man.

I loved that beat
for Liquid Swords, bro.

I can't wait for the next Wu album.

Respect.

Tell Willie Mitchell.

He's the one who played the music.
RZA just lifted it.

Yeah, well, that's why Mr. Mitchell
gets a cut off the record.

Quite happily, too, I might add.

Can you even play that?

I can buy the guitar.

I could pay someone to play for me
if I want to hear it.

The problem is, you don't.

Guys like you are putting
guys like me out of work.

Hey, come on, man.

It's all good.

I actually like some of your records.

But that doesn't make you
a real musician.

My gold and platinum records
say otherwise, OG.

Later.

WOMAN: (ON RADIO)
As the mayor holds a press...

MAN: (ON RADIO)
Good afternoon, New York.

WOMAN: (ON RADIO)
For all you lonely...

RAEKWON: Yeah, son. This here
still got that new car smell.

You gotta treat yourself
every now and again.

What's up, guys? Ange Martinez...

Who put fear and blasted on the spot...

It's my shit right here.

Hoods, robbers, snipers new in sight

Fuck blue and white

They escape before them
Flash the fucking lights

Gunshots, shatter
first-floor window panes

Shells hit the ground
and blood stained the dice game...

(EXCLAIMS) Yo, yo.

You got fucking speakers
in the headrest?

Hell, yes, it's worth every penny.

I knew this shit was going to be
a hit the second I heard it.

He fucking murdered that track.

Yeah. Wu Wear sales spike
every time a new song pops off.

Know what I mean?
A rising tide lifts all boats, nigga.

Remember that.

What if, instead of using
the regular models,

we use the Cream Team to wear
our clothes in the next photo shoot?

It's good for the brand.

It's good for the group.

Speaking of, on this new Wu album,

I don't know what RZA meant
about finding a new sound.

Yo, son, what the fuck?

Look over there, nigga.

You trying to take me on a Macy's
shopping spree or some shit?

Wait, hold on. That's U-God?

- Yeah.
- Yo, son, that's our shit.

- Yeah.
- Yo, son.

What the fuck I've been telling niggas?

A nigga in the Macy's
front fucking window.

I've been telling niggas, man.
What you talking about?

What you talking about, son?

- Told y'all niggas.
- What you mean?

Yo, yo.

You really got The Delfonics
to be on my shit, son?

They was excited to do it.

And they loved 36 Chambers.

And your verse for Can It Be,

they fucking loved it.

Hey, that's crazy.

And I could really
hear them on this shit too.

Like, yeah.

Like look, being young

and becoming
a successful MC is one thing,

but being a kid, always playing
their records and shit, it's big.

It's legendary. You know what I mean?

Yo, having them sing on my shit.

It's like everything coming full circle.

- You feel me?
- Yeah, nigga.

I feel you, yo.

- Found it.
- Oh, shit.

Let me see.

This could be that new sound I need.

- Yo.
- Hmm?

Yo, I told you to get Song of Innocence.

Not Songs of Experience.

(SCOFFS)

Ay, yo. I'm gonna get some air.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah, Tom, I'm sure.

Isn't Song of Innocence
an Enigma song?

- What up?
- Hey.

- You guys here early.
- Traffic was light.

I appreciate you making the trek
all the way to Staten.

I could've came by
the offices in New York.

No, we like seeing the product up close.

Congrats on that Macy's window display.
It's prime real estate.

Thank you. Appreciate it.

You know, we've been
pushing for like a year.

But you know, the hard work paid off.

You know what I'm saying?

Well, which brings us to why we're here.

We've been keeping our eye
on Wu Wear since it came out.

You're on to something.
Streetwear's going next level

and we want to help you get there.

Yeah. I heard you guys
got a great network with manufacturing.

We have contracts
with factories in China and India,

which will cut your costs by two-thirds.

- Two-thirds?
- Not to mention retail relationships

we have with all the department stores.

We already got something
in Macy's, though.

You got a single window display
and it took about a year.

No disrespect. But how long is it
gonna take to get that second window?

All right. So look, y'all here
to sell me on scaling. So sell me.

We can get Wu Wear
into every department store

across the country
by the end of the summer.

Just in time for fall.
Kids going back to school.

Wu-Tang logo
in every high school hallway in America.

Is your fall collection ready?

We're working on it.

What's the offer though?

You got till the end
of the week to decide.

Okay. So what?
Y'all putting a clock on it?

Full disclosure.
We're looking at other brands,

but we don't make
this kind of offer to just anybody.

- Appreciate it.
- Think about it.

- Thank you so much.
- Thanks for coming.

Pleasure.

My goodness.

I know. That's a lot of money, right?

For a guy that don't know
how to fold a shirt properly.

Give that here.

Okay. After you done I got some
more stuff for you to fold in the back.

- All right.
- If you want to. (LAUGHS)

So what you think about that?

What's there to think about?
It's a great offer.

I mean, do you need to

get approval from the group?

I control Wu Wear.

Then take the deal.

But I'll be selling them my business.

Yes. And collecting a
very respectable royalty

for the rest of your life

without having to lift a finger.

- But...
- Yeah, but you don't want to give up

something you built from scratch.
I get that.

I mean, look,
we'd be giving up all control.

I mean, what would you do

if someone offered to buy your store?

At those numbers?

I'd have taken early retirement.

- Chased the sun all year long.
- (CHUCKLES)

When you're my age,

I promise,

you won't be saying,
"I wish I'd worked more in my life."

Yeah, but I don't mind work, Pop.

Yeah, but the brand
can grow without you.

If you take the money, you have
the freedom to create something else.

I mean, you've done it once.

You're a businessman, son.

Isn't that what business is?

MAJOR HARRIS:
Hey, what you say, young man?

Hey, what's up? What's happening?

What up? What up? How are you doing?

Hey, nice to meet you.

Yeah, what's up?

- How you doing, man?
- Nice to meet you.

Yo, fuck yeah.

I went to every single
record shop in Brooklyn,

and I almost got in a fight
with an engineer at D&D,

but that's it.

Yo, hell yeah.
You want to put on Holy Thursday?

- Yeah.
- All right.

(SONG PLAYING)

Dude, don't tell me.

That's not the record.

(SONG STOPS)

I don't think that's the right song.

I don't think that's the
sound I'm looking for.

What's the sound?

I don't know.
I'm still trying to figure it out.

Everyone's expecting something
game-changing for the next Wu album.

I need a smoke.

All right.

Yo, yo.

Shit. What's good, Vine?

What you doing here?

Yeah, so I gotta dip for a few days.

So if you can't get a hold of me,
don't worry.

All right?

- Female drama?
- Nah, nah, it's nothing.

Just stay focused on
what you're doing, all right?

Yo, yo, yo...

you're talking like

you used to talk when you
was in the streets, nigga.

What's up?

I think Jerome put hands on Mommy.

Yo, what?

Yeah. She got bruises all over her arms.

Now, she gave me some bullshit excuse
but you know,

it's pretty obvious to me.

So I'm gonna take a ride to Ohio,

and have a little chat with Jerome,
you know?

Yo, fuck it. Yo, we on.

No, no, no, nigga. You got work to do.

Yo, fuck you mean
I got work to do, nigga?

You expect me to work
after hearing some shit like that?

Yo, come on, bro.

You're not Bobby Diggs anymore.

Know what I mean? You are the RZA.

Yeah. The RZA still has a mother.

And if the RZA
can't take care of his moms,

he ain't nobody.

All right. You driving, though.

Hey, Ghost should be here soon.

Want me to cue up the two-inch?

You handle that, all right?

- Me?
- Yeah.

Look, the song is already done.

All you've got to do
is record the vocals.

- Where are you going?
- Yo, peace, peace.

Yeah, thanks for the ride.

No, no, of course, of course.

Yo, thank you so much for doing this.

No, for real, like, I grew up on y'all,
like, since I was a snot-nosed kid,

just listening to your records.

Always great to hear.

No, for real, your music really
helped me get through some shit

in my life.

I grew up right over there.

Has it changed much?

Haven't been back in a minute.

It's good to return
to the old neighborhood now and again.

Never forget where you came from.

BOTH: Always remember
where you're going.

(ALL CHUCKLING)

We spent a lot of time together.

On and off for 30 years.

No shit, 30 years?

WILBERT HART:
And we're still touring.

Not too many groups can say that.

So what do you think
kept y'all together?

What's the secret for real?

Love the music.

Now let's hear some.

Word.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

Ooh

After the smoke is gone

Ooh

After the smoke clears

Ooh

This motherfucker right here, son.

Think you can fucking play me?

Fucker.

What? What? What?

Fucker.

The fuck is that? Shit.

My bad, yo, my bad.

Yo.

Yeah, I'mma punch in right here.

That was crazy.

Crazy? That was insane.

One second he's smiling,
chatting us up,

the next he's firing
out the fucking window.

What do you think set him off?

Forget this.

Okay.

You want to tell him we're leaving?

Don't give a fuck like the poor part

We watch Hart to Hart
Used to push me in shopping carts

Now I'm writing darts
like Ebenezer, the porno teaser

Saying words like Sheba
Ethical rap about

Hey, yo, cut the music.

- Everything cool here?
- Yeah.

You sure?

He's just anxious
to do his thing, right?

Right.

Word, word, I mean, I could...
I could do my verse later

if y'all want to just go in there
and do your shit now.

That works for us.

(ALL VOCALIZING)

Yo, son, you really got
The Delfonics on your shit, son.

Hey, I'm saying this shit's crazy.

Yo, your verse better be fire, nigga.

Hey, yo, what? Get the fuck out of here.
Hold on.

- I'mma kill you on your own shit.
- You ain't doing that.

- Yeah, alright, son.
- You ain't doing that shit.

This shit legendary.

Get into it right now.

After the smoke is gone

Hey, yo.

Yo, we're not bringing that.

Hey, yo, you said everything's
on the table, right?

Yeah, but that's still Randy's dad.

We need to put the fear of God in him.

Not just the fear of gods on Earth.

I mean, I'm talking some like,

some Old Testament shit,
you know what I mean?

All right, look, how about
we go to Ghost's tomorrow morning?

Yo, you know he got some shit
if you want to get biblical.

I don't want to wait
until morning to fuck this nigga up.

All right?

(SIGHS)

Ghost is at work.

Besides, yo,
I just got this new equipment,

I'm trying to play with that shit.

Okay. You get to play with your toys,
but I can't bring mine, huh?

What you gonna do? You just gonna go...

(DOOR OPENS)

Hi, baby.

- How was it?
- Was all good.

Are you trying to play it cool?

You met your childhood heroes.

What were they like?

It was nice.

Quiet.

That's it?

Yo, look, Rie, I'm tired for real.

Long day, so...

The track came out dope though.

Did you remember to get
that autograph for my mom?

Shit.

You know, could barely find the time
after the fucking shoot-out.

Shoot-out?

What are you talking about?
A real shoot-out?

Yeah, Rie, you know how that shit go.

Go back to the old hood
and niggas start acting up.

Shit go down. Know what I mean?

No, I don't know.
What the fuck happened?

Niggas was creeping, a'ight?

I see this car.

Same car following me around
all fucking day.

So, boom, next thing I know,
I'm in the car with the Delfonics.

Nigga pull up to my side,
so I had to back it out.

You had to back it out?

- Yeah.
- No, you didn't.

How do you know
they were doing anything?

It could have all been in your head.

Hell, it probably was.

What are you talking about?

Niggas was trying to rob me
for my jewels.

So then they rob your jewels
and you buy some new ones.

You are not that kid in Stapleton
who has to act hard

all the time listening to the Delfonics.

No, you're the famous rapper
who has the Delfonics on his record.

You are a father.

You are my partner.
You have everything to lose.

Stop talking to me
like I'm some child.

Then stop acting like one.

You can't do the same shit
that you used to do.

And you can't handle conflict
like it was in the hood.

You need to grow.

You need to evolve past this shit.

Yo, well, this is me, all right?

And being me got us this nice
fucking apartment, right?

- Who cares about this?
- You do.

You sitting up here comfortable, right?

I ain't about to change for nobody.

Clearly.

And you're going to go?

Ghostface.

Now you see him, now you don't.

Whatever, man. Whatever.

I love waking up to the smell
of someone else making breakfast.

- Mmm-hmm.
- (EXHALES)

Nu-uh.

I made the eggs
how you like them.

Thank you, Mommy.

- Dennis up?
- No, he's not here.

I wish I had known.
I cooked all this turkey bacon.

If I had known that, I would've
gotten the real stuff.

Mmm.

I still don't know
how you make 'em so fluffy.

I know Randy's missing this.

Mommy, how long are you staying?

Not that it matters.

No, you can stay as long as you want.

I'm not sure.

But hey,

if I'm in the way.

No, you're not in the way.

Okay.

Is everything okay?

Jerome and I are separating.

This time for good.

Randy, he's older now.

He's got his...

friends, he's got his football.

And he wants to stay in Ohio.

What happened?

Grow and change.

At least I did.

Jerome's always going to be Jerome.

Yeah, I never liked him.

DIVINE: Hey, Mommy.

Hey, just in time for some breakfast.

- Take a seat.
- Uh...

Yo, sure, sure.
We can eat something real quick,

though there's a lot of work to do
for Ghost's album.

Hey, big head.

- This early?
- Yeah, you know, deadlines, all that.

Hey, yo, Rie, Dennis in the bedroom?

No.

He at the studio?

I don't know.

Hey, I need to go inside your closet
to grab some shit.

- Like what?
- Like tapes and shit. All right?

We don't have tapes
and shit in the closet.

Yo, why are you always trying to...

Just let me go in and grab something.

Just like old times, Mommy?

- (INDISTINCT ARGUING)
- It is and it isn't.

I mean, y'all are in different places
in your life, and I'm

so proud of how far you've each come.

You know,

business,

relationship,

music.

What was that you told me, Bobby?

What is it? Wu-Tang always needs
to be moving forward.

Is that right?

Yeah, yeah.

Yo, Mommy, what the fuck?

(GASPS)

Mommy, is that from...

Reason I left Jerome.

Pretty much.

And I'm not looking back,

and neither should any of you.

What about Randy?

Have you seen him lately?

Have you seen his pictures?

He's bigger than the three of you
put together.

And he wants to finish his football.

He's living with a teammate.

You know, might even get
a scholarship to college.

- And that motherfucker...
- Yeah, motherfucker Jerome

is on probation.

And last time I heard,
this violates that, so...

He and his lawyer got
a lot of work ahead of them.

(SCOFFS)

Now,

I'm going for a walk.

And since you boys, you're looking
for a mess to clean up,

by all means.

Damn, Ma.

All right. I guess I'll go
and work on Ghost's album.

About that...

(AFTER THE SMOKE IS CLEAR PLAYING)

I'm sorry I couldn't be here
to help you record this.

Nah, it's cool.
We got what we needed. So, you know.

Shit sounds dope.

First time I heard Didn't I Blow
Your Mind I was like, maybe three.

Was some crazy storm outside,
thunder and shit.

Moms put it on so I wouldn't be scared.

Now these niggas scared of me.

At least, Major Harris was.

It's crazy though,

'cause it's really the dark-skinned
nigga that got the falsetto.

I thought it was the light-skinned one.

Nah, I'm serious.

C'mon.

(CHUCKLES)

Hey, uh... what's up with you and Rie?

You know, she's pissed off and shit.

Telling me I can't keep doing
the same shit I've been doing.

Neither can I.

What, you've been doing
drive-bys in LA or something?

Shit, something like that, nigga. Almost.

Hey, what you talking about?

Now we just got to keep moving forward.

Never backwards.

Musically too.
That's what I've been reaching for.

Just ain't found it yet.

Hey, right before you left for Ohio,

you played me some beat,
almost like some Jackson 5 type shit.

Reminded me of our childhood.

Remember that?

Play that shit, son.
I got some shit for that.

(HIP-HOP SONG PLAYING)

Peace.

- Y'all hiring right now?
- Sorry, all positions are filled.

All right. Thanks.

Hey, yo.

- You from round the way?
- Yeah, I live in the 160.

You from 1-6-0.
Okay, yeah, I know about over there.

- How long you been staying there?
- My whole life. Staten Island all day.

Like y'all. Trying to do
positive things like y'all too.

Know what?
Might have something opening up soon.

There's an application. Fill that out.

Yo, The Chef has arrived, son.
What's the word?

Ready for my close-up and shit.
About to be walking the runways

- in Milan and shit.
- Cuban Linx is my favorite album,

can you...

No, not on the application!

Whatever. I'll get you another one.

All right, son.

Hold on,
you still ain't leave the house?

What are you doing, son?
We 15 minutes out right now, man.

Stop playing, son.

Hey, listen.

Get your ass on the train, son.
Meet us there.

See, wrangling niggas
ain't as easy as it looks, right?

That's not even funny, man.

It's like a full-time job.

I don't think I've got the patience.

We at the...

We at the window again, son?

All right. Yeah.

Know what I'm saying?
I know how you feel.

I mean, when I first dropped my album,
I was riding all over the city,

looking for posters
and billboards and shit.

Know what I mean?

Word.

What, you wanna get out
and take a photo?

Nah, son, that ain't it,
I'm just trying to let the moment last.

Might be the last time
I see my shit like this.

What the fuck that mean?

Got an offer for Wu Wear.

Oh?

Big offer. I'm talking,
if I take the deal,

I can make that cream
on royalties forever.

So what's the problem?

I'd lose control.

Nigga, Wu Wear was supposed
to be our thing, right?

You know, that was supposed
to represent us and where we came from.

Don't take the deal then.

The fuck you need
their money for anyway?

Wu Wear blowing up.

I can't grow it fast enough
with the money we making right now.

Yeah, we got this window here,
that's cool or whatever,

but what about all the other stores
around the country?

All around the world, even.

Cash rules everything.
You know that, son.

So how much you need to keep it
in the family and do it big?

A lot more than we're
pulling in right now.

Might have a little something
I can put in your pocket.

You know you're not guaranteed
to get your money back?

Just 'cause we ain't hustling
in the street no more

don't mean this ain't no hustle.

You know what I mean
You invested in me, right?

And the whole crew.

It's time for us to have your back.

You sure?

We ain't about to let some non-street
niggas in charge of Wu Wear.

C'mon, son!

Nah, we keeping that shit in the family.

- Word.
- Word.

Rest of the brothers kick in like you,
we'll really grow Wu Wear ourselves.

(ALL THAT I GOT IS YOU PLAYING)

So, what you think?

I think it's beautiful.

Might be the best thing
you've ever written.

Word?

Yeah, because that song is the Ghost...

That's the Dennis
that I fell in love with.

And I'm happy that the rest of the world
gets to see that man.

Yeah. Look, Rie...

I'm sorry about the other night.

For real. I promise
that's never gonna happen...

All right, Ma, so this right here
is what we call The Wu Mansion.

- Come on in.
- Whoa.

Oof.

BOBBY: This is
our living room right here.

We'll be having
a bunch of get-togethers down here.

You know?
You see the barbecue pit?

If you look further back, we got a pool.

Wow!

Wow.

- Come here.
- Yeah. Let's go see what's over there.

Kitchen, right?

- You know Raekwon be cheffing it up.
- (LAUGHS)

Trying!

We got this...

marble top right here.

Beautiful.

Big.

Yeah.

Hey, I want to apologize for...
not spending as much time as...

as we shoulda, since you been here.

Look, I understand.

- You're working to pay for all of this.
- No.

I'm sorry about Jerome too.

That's okay.

Like I told Shurrie, okay?

Don't worry about me.

(SIGHS)

So, you gonna...

move to New York permanently?

Well, I don't know. Um...

I'm thinking about it.

Okay, it would be nice to be here.

- Closer to my grandkids.
- Yeah.

- You gonna work on giving me a few more?
- (BOTH LAUGH)

That's funny.

You remember... living in Staten Island,

looking at those mansions
on top of Todt Hill?

Yeah. Now look at you.

Got one of those mansions...

for yourself.

Well, I mean, it's not on that hill,
but, you know, still...

You know, I'm thinking maybe it's time.

- What, you moving?
- Well, not necessarily.

- Because you are, Ma.
- What're you talking about, you two?

You know I always
figure everything out for myself.

I always do.

Yeah, well, that's the thing, right?

We spend our entire lives
figuring things out.

Never had the home you wanted,
but made our house a home.

We wouldn't be here without you, Ma.

We buying you that house.
You deserve it.

It's where you belong.

My boys.

Thank you.

- BOBBY: You know we love you.
- (CRYING)

I love you. I love you both so much.

Thank you.

So this is where the magic happens.

Hmm. Oh, wow.

We are not in the basement
anymore, are we?

Hey, you found that record
you were looking for.

Yeah. It's not the sound
I had in my head.

But, you know.

What's the sound
that you had in your head?

I don't know.
It's kinda hard to explain.

You know, when you have the answer

to a question, but you just...
keep getting...

(PHONE VIBRATING)

- Interrupted.
- Yeah.

Yo, peace.

(ALL THAT I GOT IS YOU PLAYING)

Gotta move forward as an artist, right?

Hey, I think the album's done, son.

Not yet.

I want to try something that'll
bridge us to the next Wu album.

Bridge? What you mean...

Hey, Ma, I really gotta...

No, it's fine.

I know what that look in your eye means.

It's okay. I've been dying
to check out your pool anyway.

- You gotta be kidding me.
- Oh, you wanna run it back?

Go ahead. Rack it up.

All right... Look, I got five minutes.

- I can play a quick game.
- Give you one more chance.

You know, I wish it was this easy
to bring all the brothers together.

Don't know how you did it, Mommy.

There were so many different things
that were pulling me and Bobby...

and Shurrie, and even Randy,
in different directions.

Yet you still got us
to come home every day.

Love. I know it sounds simple.

But with everything going on
in our crazy lives,

we forget to let people know that they
are loved, first and foremost, above...

business, above everything.

Now, let me kick your ass again.

(LAUGHS)

Oh!

That's good! You got one in.

(STRUMMING)

(MUSIC PLAYING)

Yeah.

That shit gonna work.

(PHONE RINGING)

- Oh, my God!
- Don't answer it.

It's probably my mom. Okay.

Hello? He's busy.

We're busy.

Who the fuck is that?

BOBBY: Hey. Yo.

This entire time I've had
this sound stuck in my head.

I thought maybe it was from a record.

But yo, it's from my head.
It's from my mind.

Everything come from your mind.
What you talking...

I know, but look, this time
I ain't building from samples,

I'm building from instruments.

Fuck you talking about?

- You don't play no instruments.
- I do now, nigga. Check this out.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

- I know you hear that, nigga.
- Yo!

What the hell is that, son?

That's our new sound.

We're not just... moving forward.

We're moving upward.

Ooh.

This is gonna take us to number one.

In the world.
