plastic surgery can't fix.
No, really, I know a good surgeon.
Mmm.
Well, there's not one thing
Unless, maybe I could
get like some
brain surgery to,
like, get it taken out.
Shut up.
You must have been a real
brat when you was a kid.
I was shy. Very shy.
Yeah, okay, and I was
the prince of wales.
No, really. I was a runt
when I was a little kid.
And I got picked on a lot.
My dad was my only friend.
And I remember, we'd have
these little rap battles
and my favorite line of his was
"I'm the twinkle in your eye,
the tear in your cry,
"the reason for your why.
"So seek me.
"As you learn to love
yourself better, teach me."
And I remember when
he would say that,
I would just feel like the most
invincible little kid in the world.
But then he died.
And Malik sort of took over
as my rap partner.
been the only men in my life.
Until now.
Thank you.
For inviting me tonight.
Thank you for
teaching me poetry.
I had to get out of there.
Was it good?
I can't explain it.
He was so...
Open.
That kind of freaked me out.
You're just used to being
ignored and neglected.
I like him for you.
You don't like him?
Suppose he is
the love of your life.
But how will you know
if you keep pushing him away?
Well, if he's the love
of my life,
then I don't
have to do anything.
It'll happen, right?
Speak of the devil.
I'm out of here.
Now look, I really don't want
things to be weird in class.
So can we just pretend
nothing happened?
Yeah?
Okay.
Cool.
Cool.
Cool.
mixed properly. No.
Mixing won't make
the lyrics better.
And the song structure sucks.
We gotta dig deeper than this.
Let's just send it to Naveen
and see what he says.
We can't send this to Naveen.
We have one shot with his ear.
We don't wanna f*** that up.
So, we're just gonna keep
working until we get it right.
I'm done with this demo sh*t.
All right, we damn near broke.
We ain't battled in a month. We ain't
no snap crackle pop-ass rappers.
We ain't no f***in' sellouts.
We need to stick to battles.
That's what we do.
No, that's what you do.
We are a group.
And we made a commitment
to finish this demo,
so that's what we're gonna do.
Reasons, play the beat, please.
Nah, nah, reason,
don't play sh*t.
Don't play a motherfuckin'
thing, all right?
Coco, you don't
run sh*t around here.
And you don't run sh*t around
here but your goddamn mouth.
Yeah? This mouth is gettin'
us all f***in' paid.
Where? Obviously, not enough to
buy some f***in' roach spray
- Shut the f*** up!
- F*** you.
Exactly.
Talk to her.
F*** you.
Talk to her.
I'm sick o' y'all
bickerin', man, for real.
Can we please, please,
just focus for once?
Reasons is right, y'all.
Let's just focus
and get it done.
Come on.
The sonnet
depicts love as
both pain and pleasure.
As joy and anguish.
As disdain and devotion.
Relationships equate
a surrendering of one's self.
Mmm.
Well, let's start here
next week.
Hey, coco.
Wait up a minute.
So, uh...
How've you been?
I'm good.
Just been busy with my demo.
Yeah, me, too, but I've been
working on my new poem.
Still trying to get in
Coltrane's slam team.
Just haven't got
Look, I'm sorry about
what I said the other day.
About what?
About pretending
nothing happened.
It's okay.
We both just had too much to drink
and, you know, sh*t happens.
It's cool, though.
Friends?
Nah.
No?
No.
I want to be more than friends.
Coco Ford, may I speak with
you for a moment, please?
My husband and I are... We're
having a salon on Saturday.
I'd like you to come.
Really?
Don't tell anyone.
But you can bring a date.
Thanks.
We have one shot to get our songs
right for this record label.
These guys just don't get it.
So, when is the showcase?
Labor day.
You comin'?
Is that an invite?
Maybe.
Look, listen, I have
an important question for you.
Is it a really
important question or
like, a dumb important question?
Course it's
an important question.
Fire away.
Why can't you tell me what you
Hmm. What's it
worth to you?
Let me see.
Well, that's a start.
But just to let you know
that it wasn't about you.
Okay, so now you have secrets with
my boss, I see what's goin' on.
Fine. She invited me
to a salon.
Seriously?
Yeah.
So, is she gonna have a bunch of
hairdressers at her house or something?
Nah, nah, nah,
it's a poetry salon.
showcase their work, their art.
Are you going?
I wasn't invited.
She probably forgot.
I wasn't invited
last year either.
Just be careful with Dixon.
She likes to toy with people.
I do feel like I'm finally starting
to make progress with her.
Well, I'm just saying
you should keep an eye out.
Well, she told me
to bring a date.
So you can watch out.
In case anyone
tries anything tricky.
Well, I'll be watchin'.
You look great tonight.
Thank you.
I think this is us.
You make me laugh.
Seriously, though
you are something.
Coco.
You've made it.
How are you, Mrs. Dixon?
Thank you so much for inviting me here.
Your house is amazing.
I need to steal
her for a moment.
I know you won't mind.
Come.
Coco, you are
such a good writer.
You've advanced immeasurably
since your first assignment.
It's actually miraculous.
I've been working
like, really hard.
You have a voice.
Ah...
The voice of a poet.
I just...
I just worry that
you're wasting your time
with a lover that'll
never love you back.
What? I don't understand.
You're a smart woman, coco.
Flirting with a ta
for a good grade?
That's so beneath you.
No. No, no, no.
It's not like that.
Okay, well, I'll...
I take it back.
Come on.
Coltrane.
This is my most promising
student, coco Ford.
How you doin'? I remember
you from the other night.
Yeah, yeah.
You made your boy here lose.
Coltrane and his slams.
Everyone's always trying to impress
him so they can make the new team.
Well, baby, you know slam saw
where poetry was messin' up
and I just wanna make things right.
Hmm.
You know, it's a whole generation
who have been
raised on hip-hop
and brought up by poets like us.
This is our duty.
Yes.
You do know how to
please young girls.
Um...
I'm going to read
in just a moment.
You should come outside.
What the f***?
Accompanying me is the amazing and
beautiful Esperanza Spalding.
"I am the kind of
woman who loses things.
"The kind of woman who makes
room for a child she lost.
"I am the kind of woman
"I am the kind of woman
"During sex.
"During naptime.
"After dark.
"It is safe that way.
"I am the kind of woman
who needs to feel safe.
"The kind of woman who has
needs that no one can satisfy.
