Feel The Noise Page #2

So can I see you again?

- Why?

- What do you mean why?

- Why do you wanna see me again?

- Because we have things in common.

No, but I think you're cool.

Okay. I'll give you a call.

Yo, Javi.

Yo, what's the number?

He's crazy.

All right, do you got it?

- Yes, I got it.

- Okay.

I need to go.

All right, peace.

That was funny.

Call me.

Bye.

Bye.

Do you have everything?

Yo. Yo.

Hurry.

Come on, right here.

- Hello.

- Hello, Rob.

Yeah, what's good?

- Am I calling you too early?

- No, just in time.

Can I come over?

I need some help with something.

Yeah, sure, no problem.

- Are you okay?

- I'll call you back. Bye.

Come on.

Yo.

What's good, man?

What you doing?

Making music. Come sit down,

I wanna show you something.

That's your basic

reggaeton beat.

Okay.

Yo, man,

how'd you get all this stuff?

I broadcast music online.

Oh, that's what's up.

This is something

I've been working on.

Okay. Okay.

Slow it down a little bit.

Slow it down.

No, no, no.

The idea is to go the other way.

Otherwise you have hip-hop.

- Okay.

- Yeah.

- Okay. Okay.

- Keep going. Keep going.

Okay.

Okay.

- Sing. Come on.

- Okay. Okay.

Your boy Rob.

Coming straight out of Harlem.

Uptown, baby.

Uptown...

Okay. Check it out, check it out.

Yo, I'm trying to be

the Superman of the ghetto.

Get this paper, take this music

to a whole other level.

Trouble found me,

then I found myself in Puerto Rico.

That's why I got high,

I had to roll.

- Something like that?

- Yeah.

- Something like that?

- That's off the hook.

Oh, yeah.

We moved from New York

to Puerto Rico when I was 8.

Anyway, I came here

to talk about personal business.

- Oh, personal business?

- Yeah.

Well, what personal business

is that?

I actually plan on making it

to New York this summer...

...to study dance.

I have this application

that I need to correct.

Can you do it for me?

- It's in English.

- But your English is perfect.

Spoken, not written.

It's not a lot.

It's just a couple of pages and

you can just correct it as you go.

Okay.

So, what do I get out of this?

Why do you have to get

something out of it?

Well, I mean, usually I charge a fee,

but, you know...

I can give you

my lucky-charm bracelet.

- Hey. What's up?

- Play this.

- Hey, what's up, man?

- What is it?

- I'm not gonna mess up your date.

- Okay.

Were you recording?

This is you?

This is crazy.

This is real hot.

You guys need to record this.

My neighbor has his own studio.

I can call him if you want.

- That would be dope.

- Okay.

- All right.

- Bye.

What have you been up to?

- I'm sorry, what did you say?

- What have you been up to?

Well, nothing.

Did you happen to see anyone

hanging around the house today?

No. Why?

Someone stole

Marivi's engagement ring.

No, I haven't seen anybody

around here today.

It meant a lot to her.

It meant a lot to me too.

- Hey, Rosie.

- Thank you, C.C.

Excuse me.

Can I ask you a question?

I was wondering... I saw you

at the club, and you dance great.

- Man, you've got some great moves.

- Thank you. Thank you.

- What's your name?

- C.C.

- I'm Jeffrey. Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

I was wondering if you'd ever consider

taking on, like, private clients.

I would have to check.

I don't think they allow it.

I'd be willing to pay handsomely

and make it worth your while.

- I'll look into it.

- Okay. Will you take a card?

- Sure.

- Maybe call me?

- Okay.

- Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

I'm not feeling it.

I don't like it.

No. Look, try it like this:

- Know what I'm saying?

- That's too much hip-hop.

What? That's how all the best

hip-hop records were made.

That's the point.

It's not supposed to sound like that.

Look, man, just try it.

Just check it out.

You check it out.

Yo, why you being

all stubborn for, man?

Just try it.

Yo, look, man, I'm not trying

to battle with you, okay?

But if we gonna make music,

we gotta make music as a team.

How we do music if you wanna do

one thing, I wanna do another?

- You tell me.

- What are you talking about?

- I'm doing hip-hop.

- We're in Puerto Rico, not New York.

We don't do hip-hop,

we do reggaeton.

I like 50 Cent

and Snoop Doggy Dogg.

Okay, yeah, and I like Daddy Yankee

and what is his name? Pitbull.

- That's not the point.

- That's not the point.

I swear...

Yo, you hear that?

Yo, you hear that?

What...? Yo, what's that?

A frog, the coqui.

I like that sound, man.

Might wanna use that,

you know what I'm saying?

Like in a song or something.

Yeah, yeah.

- No, no, no.

- What?

Okay, okay, okay.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Hello. Yo.

- Are you there?

- Rob?

- Yeah.

- What's good?

- Nothing, I just wanted to call you...

...and say thank you for correcting

my paper. Thank you.

- It's no problem.

- I spoke to my friend...

...about using the studio.

- I think I can get that for you guys.

- Oh, thanks. Appreciate that.

I'll get in contact with him

and let you guys know, okay?

All right.

Peace.

Talking to her, right?

That's her? You talking to her?

I'm talking to none of your

damn business, that's who.

- Not my business?

- Yeah.

Everything around here

is my business, negro pendejo.

Say what? Say what?

I know where you live.

I know where you live. I know where

your parents work, you'll see.

You'll see,

I'm going to kill them all.

Whatever, man.

Stupid...

You understand

what they're saying?

No. Don't know.

It's that today is la conmemoracion

del Estado Libre Asociado.

It's Constitution Day.

Oh, okay.

But I thought Puerto Rico

was, like, a colonized country.

Something like that.

It is. We're the oldest colony

in the world.

Well, that's easy to say.

We have no natural resources.

Tourism is it.

What about reggaeton

and sugar?

The truth is, we know we can't be

a dependent country forever.

The economy is broke anyway,

so something has to happen.

To that day, salud.

- You hear anything about the ring?

- No. Not yet.

I'm sure it's somewhere.

Ma, you're always losing something

and then you find it.

He's speaking the truth.

I hear you're working on a song.

- We are.

- What is it?

Well, you know,

it's a little bit of everything.

You wanna hear it?

No, no.

Not while we're eating dinner.

Maybe later.

How you doing?

Just working on my music.

I know we haven't had a chance

to talk about things.

About us.

Well, you don't have to.

I just...

I just want you to know...

...that I always

thought about you.

I know it's not fair for me

to try to be a father...

...after all these years, but...

So don't.

It's not what you think.

Look, who cares now?

- You have to know, son.

- No, I don't.

L...

No, I don't.

I never thought I'd see the day

I'd be getting money.

Making music so haters

can't take nothing from me.

When chicks wouldn't holler

I'd just play back.

All I had was a flow and a ball cap.

Wall to wall, boom, boom

across the room.

Thinking they'd be

dancing to me soon.
