Brown Sugar Page #11

Oh, Reesey.

I do.

I love you.

But I think we both know

that this can't work.

I don't know

if we have enough of...

what it takes to...

to make this last.

I don't know

if we ever had enough.

We can't stay married.

Another round?

Damn. Well...

at least...

stay a while and have

a few drinks and...

have a few laughs.

I hope you realize

this means

that I have to take half

of everything you have.

Let me make it easy on you.

Here's my little $58.25 now.

Kelby...

sorry I'm late.

I'm sorry.

Well,

we missed the show.

I'm sorry.

I just got caught

in the middle

of this tug-of-war

between Dre's label

and XXL and...

I don't know what to do.

I feel so helpless.

Kelby, we can see the show

on Saturday.

Yep.

Will you wait up

a second?

How long are you two

gonna play this game?

What are you

talking about?

What am I talking about?

You don't want

to get married.

I love you.

But not the way

you love him.

I'm sorry.

I don't know why

your heart doesn't do

what your mind tells it.

You don't know.

I'm sorry.

# Lying here #

# How bad I feel #

#The clock tick #

#And I think of you... #

Sidney:
I always thought,

one day I would outgrow

my relationship with hip-hop.

# Confusion #

# Is nothing new #

Sidney:
I never thought

it was a fad, like many.

# Flash back #

#All night #

But I never thought

it could grow and mature.

#Almost left behind #

# Suitcase #

# Of memories #

#Time after sometimes #

#You picture me #

# I'm walking #

#Too far ahead #

#You're calling to me... #

Sidney:
I thought it would be

an adolescent memory

I'd look back on,

like a crush on the captain

of the football team.

But I realize

we have more than that.

Much more.

We have a history...

a friendship.

We listen to each other.

We laugh together.

We finish

each other's lyrics.

I don't have to pretend

with hip-hop,

and hip-hop doesn't

have to pretend with me.

#You will find me #

#Time after time #

Sidney:
My feelings

have never been more clear,

and I know

they will never go away.

# I'll be waiting #

To hip-hop.

#Time after time #

# Mmm mmm... #

Wait. Didn't I

already see you?

Mm, yeah.

So what are you doing

back here?

I know that y'all

put a new song in rotation

every week.

So I figure

I'm gonna show up

every week

till you take

a serious listen to this CD.

Then I'm gonna come back

every week

until you put

this here CD into rotation.

Every week.

She say no.

You playin'.

Uh-uh. No, man.

You're not playin'?

I'm not playin', man.

You for real?

For real, man.

Come here, boy!

Yeah!

Yeah, man.

- It's you, man.

- Whoo!

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

We did it, man.

You are the man!

# I worship at the temple

of hip-hop #

#Attended service,

Eric gave a sermon #

# But the minister

became intensely nervous #

#When the killa priest

went buck wild #

#And made the reverend run #

# I reached in... #

She said the Angie

show, right?

They still come on

at the same time, right?

Yes, man.

Still thinking about

Sidney, huh?

Yeah, man.

I told you

you was a punk.

Who you callin' punk?

I know

you be trippin'.

Get your black ass...

Now, let me tell you...

You better switch

to that old crack,

'cause the new crack

is killing you.

Don't...

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, what?

They call me "Night Train"

'cause I'll put

a nigga to sleep.

Angie, On Radio:

We are happy to have you here,

Sid Shaw, editor of

XXL magazine.

What's been going on?

Oh, it's been mad crazy,

working on the magazine,

and, uh...

I just finished my book.

Yay. Good.

It's about hip-hop?

It's my love letter

to hip-hop.

Sweet. What, uh,

what's the name of it?

It's called

I Used To Love Him.

All right.

Like the Common joint?

Mm-hmm. That's it.

The classic Common joint,

which, actually,

we should play right now,

since we're talkin'

about that.

It's a perfect

opportunity to do that.

Let's do this. It's my

joint right here, too.

I love it.

Um, you want to

dedicate it to anybody?

Yeah. Um...

I would, uh,

like to dedicate this song,

like I dedicated my book,

to hip-hop.

I used to love you.

I still do.

And always will.

You better go get her,

Humphrey.

Common:
#What I love most,

she has so much soul #

# She was old school

when I was just a shorty #

# Never knew throughout my life

she would be there for me #

It's Hot 97,

blazin' hip-hop and R&B.

Angie Mart, Sid Shaw

in the place, XXL.

And, uh, we should

get back to the phones.

- Ok.

- Ok.

Let some people

holler at you.

Let's go to 5.

Where you from?

Dre:
Uh, the Boogie Down...

South Bronx...

And I'm here to set

the record straight.

So, um, I got a question

for... for Sidney Shaw.

Ok.

Uh, Sidney Shaw,

when did you fall in love

with hip-hop?

When I heard Kangol Crew

and Get Fresh Crew.

Well, I don't think you

understood the question,

so I'm gonna ask you again.

Sid...

when did you fall in love...

with hip-hop?

Talk to him.

Dre...

I've been in love

with you

from the first day

I saw you.

Thank you.

All right, I got a...

I got a follow-up question.

Uh, why'd it take you

so long to say that?

'Cause I was scared.

And hardheaded.

And stupid.

Real hardheaded.

So, I'm listening

to Hot 97

'cause I hear... hey...

- No.

- Shh!

I hear that they

about to play

Cavi's first single.

So I'm like "yo. "

This is a big...

Down here?

A big day for

Brown Sugar Records.

Big things is

going down, Sid.

Just like you said

it would.

And I couldn't be

more unhappy

because for the first time

since...

I can remember...

I didn't have you

to share my life with.

Sidney...

I have loved you

from the first time

I laid eyes on you.

And I love you

still.

You're my air.

So, I don't want to be

your friend no more.

There we go.

They need

to get a room.

They probably will.

I found out

some more stuff

about those, uh,

those champagne flutes.

They call 'em

champagne flutes

because, you know,

they're all long

and narrow

like, you know, like

woodwind instruments,

like, uh, you know,

like a...

- Flute.

- Right.

That's right...

the whole flute thing

is in there,

and, uh...

And the queen of France

Marie Antoinette...

I don't know

if you know her...

But, um, you know,

she didn't like

the regular common

glasses,

so she had them

make, uh, glasses

that looked like

her, uh... uh... eh,

you know, like her

upper body. Right.

Yeah. They was

real popular,

like, in the

thirties and...

- Chris...

- Hmm?

You wanna

go out with me?

Uh... uh...

Angie Mart making big

love connections up here.

I'm... yeah...

Let's just go out.

That... That's great.

I'm a goer,

I'm a goer.

This is brand new.

A worldwide

exclusive debut.
