Fade to Black Page #2

You can't stop the music.

We have nothing to meet about

if we don't have the music.

Don't ever stop the music.

Didn't know I was interfering

with the music.

Yeah, this nigga's

already crazy,

unfocused, video-gamed out.

Wake up the morning,

I see this nigga on the rap.

Trucks with four video games

in it.

He's going around

looking for old Atari games.

That's how he spends his day.

No, that was just set up

for the shoot.

Nigga, I seen all the ones

you had.

You had Coleco Vision.

All that sh*t.

But I bought that.

That wasn't for the shoot.

You been at that sh*t.

And the things you say

out your mouth.

"Yo, I just motherfucking

make beats

to support my video-game habit."

I was like, "Carline, get this

nigga on the phone right now."

I thought about that statement

for a minute.

And I looked at the date,

and it was the 15,

and we ain't make

one record together.

He's gonna play dirty.

He's not gonna do sh*t

until he done with everybody.

If it's done and it's hot,

he just ain't gonna make it.

He knows that.

You know that, right?

I'm on my last album.

We inside here.

This ain't the media.

I'm not even playing.

I can't wait for y'all

to hear my new sh*t.

I just want to hear

what y'all think.

Beats don't just come out done.

There's an idea.

And there's

the ex ecution of that idea.

Hopefully, you don't just lose

everything in the ex ecution.

And you've got collaboration.

You know what I need.

I need that bounce.

But by far, for me, the most

important thing is inspiration.

As an artist,

if you ain't inspired to work,

then you start thinking.

Once you start thinking,

you start forcing music.

It's never good.

I'm backed in the corner.

Nigga said,

"Don't bring no beats."

I got some sh*t on the bus, too.

I think just as important

as knowing when something is hot

and knowing that this is the one

is knowing when it's not.

That one right there

is very limited.

All right.

I hate when he does that.

I need Memph Bleek for this one.

Okay.

Okay.

You take that side.

I'm gonna take this side.

Everybody on this side,

y'all say, "Nigga what?"

Yeah!

Yeah!

Y'all say, "Nigga who?"

One, two, three!

Madison Square Garden, are y'all

having a good time tonight?

Y'all making a lot of noise.

I gotta know who's making

all that noise.

Is Jersey

in this motherf***er tonight?

What's up, Dirty Jersey?

Is the Bronx

in this motherf***er tonight?

Is Queens

in this motherf***er tonight?

Is Manhattan

in this motherf***er tonight?

Is Brooklyn

in this motherf***er tonight?

Hold on,? uest.

Hold on,? uest.

Hold on one second, my nigga.

Let's keep it bouncing.

I Io ve it. Y'all motherfuckers

crazy tonight.

Everybody in this building,

make some noise!

Thanks a lot, Carline.

I'm just sitting here patiently

waiting for Jigga Man.

Ho v. Jay-Z.

Whatever his name is.

All right.

That was Carline.

Jay's running an hour late.

You know how superstars

be on their bullshit.

My feeling is, whenever

inspiration don't find you,

you have to find it.

And luckily for me, I been

in this business a minute.

I know a couple people.

Some of them

are just permanently inspired.

Play me something, man.

You play.

Play me something.

I know where I'm going.

Play me something.

Play me something.

Why do we go through this

every freaking time?

What?

I ain't.

Go ahead.

I ain't got nothing.

Untuck the hop, then, man.

Follow me on this.

Follow me.

Run the marathon.

Aw, man.

You confused?

What?

You confused?

No, motherf***er.

Yeah, right.

Let me get another one.

You got bounce?

He got no bounce in anything.

- He ain't got...

- Calm down.

You got no bounce, nigga.

You ain't got no bounce, nigga.

The bounce coming up.

That sh*t right there is crazy.

Oh, man!

That's that...

All right, you take your pick.

I'm like Ric Flair.

You ever seen the wrestler

Ric Flair?

I'm the best there is.

You got that?

This is on the fly, man.

I'm gonna f*** up a lot.

It's all in memory.

I think he's the greatest.

The person that can do

about 30 raps in his head

and not forgetting

any one of them.

It's ingenious.

One more time.

Yeah, nigga!

All rappers.

Every rapper that's out

that's supposed to be "hot"

will be terminated.

I'm telling you.

Oh, God.

That's how you end

a motherfucking song, nigga.

Yeah.

That's how you end a song.

How many people in this building

from the hood?

We ain't gonna stop.

Give me something for everybody

from the hood, yo.

He's doing this.

That's right.

Everybody, feel me.

You had a hard-knock life.

I need y'all to sing.

God damn!

Put the peace sign up

for the homey Biggie Smalls.

Keep your peace sign up

for Big Pun.

For Left Eye.

For Jam Master Jay.

Now take your twos and make

an "A" for Aaliyah

one time tonight, y'all.

Put your twos in the air

for Tupac Shakur.

You know how we do this.

We gonna let them know

they gone,

they'll never be forgotten.

You gonna fly with it.

I want everybody to feel this

in this building right now.

Give me something.

I need to feel y'all in my soul.

Put your twos back in the air.

We ain't done.

Give me something else.

Yes!

Yes!

Hold up. Hold up.

Hold the f*** up.

Put your twos back in the air.

God damn.

Of course, the only way

we can continue in hip-hop

is we pay respect to the past.

So I had to pay respect

to the past

so I could continue on

to the future.

Can I introduce y'all

to my future?

Roc-A-Fella Records,

give me some!

Memphis Bleek.

Yeah!

You know!

Beanie Sigel,

get the f*** out here!

Oh, man.

I got you.

We about to shut this sh*t down,

man.

Early.

You know how we do.

To the Garden.

Yeah, Memphis!

What's up?

Let's get it popping.

This floor's shaking, man.

I know.

It's crazy.

I thought I was getting dizzy

and sh*t.

I know I ain't smoked weed

and sh*t.

Holla!

Y'all aren't gonna get tired

on me, right?

Are y'all tired out there?

Okay.

I'm just checking with y'all.

I'm gonna check with y'all

three more times.

Yo, Bleek.

- What's up?

- We need you on this one.

Okay.

It's for the ladies right here.

That's what I'm...

It's for the ladies right here.

Hold on.

Let me look.

You got me?

Okay.

Question.

Let's slow it down for them.

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Wait.

Wait, wait.

Okay, let's slow it

all the way down for them.

Let's slow it down.

Make some noise

for Missy Elliott

and Twista one time tonight.

Old-school hip-hop.

They say that's when

it was at its best.

They call it "The Golden Years."

I know that's when I fell

in Io ve with it.

Since this album's

gonna be autobiographical,

I had to go to

one of the few people

that could recapture that

feeling I had when I was a kid.

That's incredible.

My man, thank you.

That's incredible.

You may have to rewrite

the third verse after this

'cause you just took it.

The whole song

just went like this.

Rick ain't normal.

I don't give a f***.

I know all producers

have their idiosyncrasies,
