Well, maybe you don't wanna step out

of your perfect world...

...but there's a lot going on

under the radar at Musical High.

Take sweet little Tracy, for example.

She has really bad hair.

Tyler has a horrible smile!

And what about you, Nora?

I mean, everybody knows

that you're the best dancer in school.

Let's do this!

What about the showcase?

The 409 Crew coming up, y'all!

It's that time, y'all.

Now, I believe that our distinguished

panel of random extras...

...have made their decision.

May I have the envelope, please?

Man.

And for all you people

at home watching...

I am wearing all yellow.

This is a tight moment.

Tighter than the button on my suit.

Ladies and gentlemen,

we have a winner!

- The winner is...

- Hey, yo, Truck!

- What do you want, punk?

- Hey, hey. Hey, now.

I wanna battle! Me and you, one on one.

That's not how it goes.

You have to have a crew to battle.

- Says who?

- It's a written law of the Streets.

Says it right there.

"No dance battling without a crew. "

- And you don't have a crew.

- Oh, yes, he does.

Megan? What are you doing here?

Oh, no, this for street dancers only.

They're not street dancers.

We gonna do it

just like we do it on the Streets.

Now the baddest man hit my hand.

Now you've been challenged.

Do you accept?

- Let's do this.

- All right.

Then it's gonna be the 409 Crew versus,

what's your name, young man?

- Thomas Uncles.

- The Uncle Toms!

Show your love!

Let's go, 409, let's go!

Uncle Toms, assemble!

We got this.

Hey, wait a minute, I thought only

the good guys get to go in slow motion?

- Hey, yo, Thomas.

- A-Con!

What's up?

Wait, what happened with Sugar Bear?

Mr. Stache took care of that, man.

We good.

Now let's serve these suckers, B.

Everybody huddle up.

Hold on, man!

Yo, how we gonna compete

with these guys with these guys?

We got this, A-Con.

All right, everybody.

You just do what you do best, okay?

Let's do this!

- What's going on?

- I don't think I can do this.

Remember the routine you used to do

at the club?

Do that and you'll be great.

Okay.

I didn't mean that club.

That's my girl!

What's this?

Yeah!

N*gger! Did you wear tight ass shorts

and skates to a battle?

Yeah. So did you.

Oh, yeah. And it worked for T.I.

In ATL, right?

What up, dawg!

Wee!

Stop weeing!

Yeah! What!

Yeah!

They did their thing tonight!

And the judges have made

their decision.

And the winner is...

- A tie?

- What?

Oh, hell, no!

Y'all can't do this to these kids!

What y'all want to see?

Y'all want to see them battle it out?

All right. We gonna do this

the Stache way.

Each crew gets one move, no rules,

and the audience will decide.

Let's get it on!

Let's go. They got one move left,

and we know what that is.

Three, four, five, six, seven.

- What are they doing?

- Stealing our move, man!

I'm stealing your sh*t!

Now what?

Yo, that's not fair. You stole our move!

That's true.

But you still got one move left.

Sugar Bear?

I came here to get my bread,

my chips, my cheese.

- Here you go.

- I'm talking about my money, b*tch.

Don't get cute.

All right, fat boy, let's see what you got.

I'm about to get in your ass!

Am I still cute?

I look like a black Gumby?

Uncle Toms! Uncle Toms!

Uncle Toms! Uncle Toms!

And the crowd has spoken!

The winner of this year's

Battle of the Streets and $5,000

...goes to the Uncle Toms!

Yeah! Show your love!

Now that's a battle right there!

That's what I'm talking about!

- Good work, guys!

- Hey!

Hey!

That was really wild,

what you did out there.

Thanks. I couldn't let you go out there

and risk your future.

Oh, my gosh, Megan!

Megan, congratulations, girl!

Thanks, Charity.

By the way,

I brought somebody with me.

- Well, now, that certainly was different.

- I guess it was.

So, you and your entire crew

missed the senior showcase for this?

Ever since I started hanging out

with these guys, I've learned a lesson.

Some things are more important

than going to college...

...or getting a high-paying job...

...or inventing something

that could save the lives of millions.

It's something we like to call respect.

And you only get it here, in the Streets.

Yeah!

Well, this might surprise you...

...but I know a little something

about the hip-hop.

What you know about hip-hop?

Well, back in the day, I happened to be

one of the best beatboxers around.

- Is that right?

- Yeah!

- Well, why don't you kick a beat then?

- All right.

That beat is hot.

But her lips ain't moving.

- Oh, yes, they are.

- Yo!

We like to party...

We don't cause trouble

We don't bother nobody...

We're just some men that's on the mic...

And when we rock upon the mic

We rock the mic right...

I am a human beatbox...

Hold onto me.

What's the matter, Thomas?

- You think you know me?

- Yes.

Then you need to see me in the light.

Are you afraid?

No. I'm not afraid.

You should be.

- Aren't you even a little scared?

- No. More disappointed than anything.

You just turned around

with glitter on your face.

- You don't even have fangs.

- Let's dance.

- Now you're dancing.

- At prom. And next year, at Juilliard.

Thomas, why didn't you take me

when you had the chance?

You don't know what you're saying.

You don't really want this.

It will change your life.

Besides, you know what they say.

Once you go black, you never go back?

No. You shouldn't do it until you're

with the one you'll be with forever.

I dream of being with you forever.

- So you really want this?

- Yes. Give it to me right now.

You're gonna live a long

and happy life with me.

Oh, sh*t, white guys.

So, what you're gonna do

is leave the car up front.

Here are the keys.

It's the one blasting Coldplay.

Don't steal anything, okay? Scurry on.
