dangle.

All right, all right.

He's here.

No. No, I'm not.

They're dangling

enough already.

Bye.

Sidney Shaw.

How are you?

Good.

How you doing?

Good.

Kelby Dawson.

I'm sorry

I'm so late.

I'll try not

to hold it against you.

And thanks

for the drink.

How'd you know

I like Perfect 10s?

I've got my sources.

Well, thanks for giving us

this interview,

especially considering

you don't do much press.

Were you surprised?

Well, yeah.

I don't know too many

professional athletes

that avoid

the spotlight.

I thought all you guys

wore diamonds in each ear,

minks, and did

the cabbage patch

in the camera

after you make a free throw.

The cabb...

that's funny.

But you're wrong

about the mink.

Hi!

Kelby:
So, Perfect 10, huh?

I've never tasted one.

Dre:
Hey, y'all.

Talk to you later.

What's up?

Hey, Dre.

How you doing?

Hi.

Dre:
I didn't

even recognize you.

You look so amazing.

You look nice.

Thank you.

Thank you.

It's been a while.

How you been?

Good.

You know, I just...

You know, settling

into the new gig.

How was the honeymoon?

Oh, wow.

Oh, it was nice.

Thanks for asking.

Dre:
It was good stuff.

This is Kelby.

What's up?

Dre Ellis, big fan.

Except when you're

playing the Knicks.

You're over at I MG, right?

It was good to see you.

We gotta bust.

Aren't you gonna

introduce your friends?

Dalmatian.

Yo, check it!

Sidney:

Well, congratulations.

Word, y'all, we represent

that whole unity thing.

You know what I'm saying?

Black and white.

Yo, one love, brother.

All right.

Yeah, we're, uh,

celebrating the fact

that they came on

to the label.

They're clients

of Reese's.

They're

the real deal, Sid.

Good to see y'all.

Reese:
Come on.

Good to see you.

They're the shiznit

and they know it.

To the left, fellas.

Good-bye.

That's... That's

your ex, huh?

Dre? Uh-uh.

No, that's my boy.

We grew up together.

It's nothing like that.

Really?

Hmm...

Anyway, we're here

to talk about you.

So...

when'd you fall in love

with hip-hop?

Ten:
#What? What? What? #

# She may be a ho,

but she's my ho, you know? #

#The ho is mine #

#You gotta get

that b*tch #

#The ho is mine #

#You gotta get her #

#You gotta soothe

Wait, wait, wait, wait,

wait, wait, wait, wait.

What you doin'?

Yo, man!

Yo, we just trying

to put some flavor

An ill kind of intro

like the breakdown

The Girl Is Mine.

Real hip-hop, dawg.

Dalmatian style.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, Ken.

That's a good idea, guys.

- A'ight.

- Feel me.

That's not a good...

That's not a good idea.

That's a bad idea.

It's ridiculously wack.

Just like this whole

outfit is ridiculous!

Dre, didn't we already have

a talk about this?

Hmm?

Yeah, man.

Yeah, man, we did.

Dre.

Be out, then.

Wasting all my damn money.

All right, uh...

from that first ho.

How do you work

this damn board?

Push a button

or something.

Driver:
Where to?

Uh, Fort Greene.

Driver:
You want me to take

the Manhattan or the Brooklyn?

I don't care, man.

Just get me there, please.

Sidney Shaw.

Cell Phone:
The name

Sidney Shaw.

Cell Phone:
The name

cannot be recognized.

What am I doing?

What am I doing?

This is mess

with Dre day, huh?

Huh?

Do I know you?

Oh, JJesus.

Remember me, man?

The world is small

as hell, ain't it?

Yeah, man.

What happened, man?

That Menudo reunion deal

fell through?

You got jokes,

don't you?

What you doing

driving a cab anyway?

Your English is

too good.

Trying to stay out of trouble

is what I'm doing.

What's up with you?

What's going with Millenium?

I left Millenium today.

What?

Yeah.

What, so Simon owe you

some money or something?

Uh, no.

Nothing like that.

He hang you out a window

or no sh*t, did he?

You know what, this whole

taxicab confession thing,

we don't really got to do.

If you could

just keep driving?

Hey, not a problem.

Pardon me.

Not a problem at all.

He try to steal

your girl or something?

No, man!

I'm married.

Ain't nobody giving it

to my wife but me.

Chris:
I feel you.

You want to know

why I left Millenium?

Sure.

Sure, whatever.

Man...

I left Millenium

'cause I was tired

of making bullshit

and calling it

hip-hop, man.

I was just tired.

I feel you.

I couldn't take it

no more.

Hey, man...

I had to bounce.

That's tight, man.

I respect that.

You respect that?

Yeah.

It's like the Grinch

who stole hip-hop

growing a heart.

You got a grown-up

heart now.

You gonna go

back to Whoville

and give all

the hip-hop Whos

their publishing back?

That's funny to you?

I'm just playin'

with you, man.

Pull the cab over.

What, you don't want

to go to Brooklyn no more?

You hurt my feelings.

No, bro, I was

just playing, man.

Don't take it

like that.

Keep the change, man.

Thank you, bro.

Hey, listen, man,

don't let that sh*t

get you down, man.

Stay black, man!

Thank you.

Thanks.

What's up, baby?

Can you

believe this?

Oh, my goodness.

They're from Kelby.

You must give

good interviews.

He wants a date.

Yes, he does.

Now, see I would've

just written you

a little note that said,

"Will you go out with me?"

With a "Yes" box,

"No" box,

and a "Maybe" box.

Yeah, you've always been

such a romantic.

You, uh...

you got a minute?

Yeah.

What's going on?

Dre:
All right,

how about this one?

Ok, ok, ok.

#Yes, yes, y'all,

and you don't stop #

#And 1, 2, Common says

the beat's a sure shot #

Come on, Dre.

It's common sense.

I Used To Love H.E.R.

You said his name.

It's one of the tightest cuts

of all time.
