Time.

Yeah!

Now, that's what I'm talking about.

Yeah! I like it like this!

These two crews right here

is what I call bad.

I'm talking bad as utter bad.

But it's up to you to decide...

...which crew walks away

with this here $600 in the hat.

Okay, let's settle down!

Let's settle down, now!

Now, by round of applause...

...you decide

who the baddest crew is tonight.

Let's hear it for Vick's crew.

What's up?

Let's go!

All right. Let's hear it

for David and Elgin's crew.

Well, well, well. Seems to me

like the money in the hat goes...

-...to David and Elgin.

-Yeah!

-What you mean?

-Told you, boy!

That's what I'm talking about!

-Vick, y'all did your thing.

-No, that's twisted. We won.

No, no.

Whoa, whoa, now, young blood.

Don't come up in here with all that.

That ain't how it work.

You heard the people. You lost.

Now, you don't like the result,

you take yourself...

...you take your little crew,

you get to practicing...

...you bring it back,

we settle it on the floor like men.

-Yeah.

-All right. I want no trouble up in here.

-That's what I'm talking about.

-All right, Mr. Rad.

-Hey. Y'all were off the chain tonight.

-Yeah, y'all really hooked it up.

-Thanks.

-But you're missing one thing.

Really? What's that?

Me and my girl, Toya. She's the bomb.

We wanna get down with y'all.

Yeah, I seen her. She tight.

-So what's your name?

-~Keke.

I'm gonna check y'all out.

-Cool.

-Thanks.

Anyway....

El, dog, we was on point tonight.

They was feeling us.

I mean, can you imagine...

...when we blow up

and we in front of thousands of fans?

El, what's up with you?

I'm tired of my mom always asking me

what I'm gonna do with my life.

She working double shifts now

because they went up on the rent.

It's messed up,

because Liyah got into Princeton.

That's cool and everything...

...but even with the scholarship,

she can't afford to go.

Now she's stuck at L.A. Community

College, working to save up.

This is killing me.

I saw Emerald

on the Shaw last night.

Gotta do what we gotta do.

-Ball up.

-Come on, baby.

-I can't believe we back here, man.

-Me neither, but it's just this once.

-Deal?

-Deal.

All right, let's get up here.

So if it isn't

my dancing delivery boys.

I knew you'd be back.

Your timing couldn't

have been better.

My last kid had to retire.

He was running his mouth

too much.

Here.

-Let's hurry up and get this over with.

-We gotta work pretty late.

-You might as well crash at my house.

-Cool. Come on.

Came out here,

You know, he immediately,,,,

Good morning, baby.

Mama's late for work.

David and Elgin are asleep

on the floor.

-David?

-Lord knows what time they got home.

Let them sleep in.

They look tired.

And, Liyah, baby,

make them some breakfast.

It's a gift, You can't work on bouncing

a ball off a guy's head,

You're not a kid working on that,

It just comes to you,

He's a freak, a phenom,

He one of the tightest dudes

up there,

Got a lot of crazy moves

with the ball,

It was kind of hard to guard him,

you know what I'm saying? He look--

-Hi, David.

-Liyah?

I didn't know where I was

for a minute.

Well, sorry for waking you up.

Looks like you could use

a cup of coffee.

So El tells me the crew's

been winning every battle.

You know that's how we do.

When's the last time you saw us?

I'm embarrassed to say.

I think that Christmas you did

the show at the Fox Hills Mall.

-Dang, girl, that's messed up.

-All work and school. No play.

You know how it is.

What?

There's something different

about you.

Well, it's been, what, three years

since y'all moved to Baldwin Hills?

Stop.

You're bugging me out.

Well, I better get to work.

-You want a ride?

-No, I always walk.

I insist. Let me drive.

No, really. I work right down

in South Central Hospital.

It's the only exercise I get.

Dang, girl. With a physique like that,

you must walk three, four times a day.

You are so crazy.

-You can walk with me if you'd like.

-Okay.

No, let me.

Let me help you with that.

-David?

-Yeah?

The door?

My bad. Right. My bad.

Come on, girl.

-Hello?

-Where you at?

-Walking to work.

-You seen D?

-Yeah, he's here.

-Put him on the phone.

Here. El wants to talk to you.

-Hello.

-Hey, what you doing with Liyah?

Calm down, man.

I'm just walking her to work.

Look, some white kid out

of the County...

...gave me this tape last night

after the show. "Wade" or something.

-You ever heard of him?

-Wade, Wade....

Yeah, he got a homeboy named Max.

They competed last summer

in San Diego.

I asked around, and he's paid.

I'm talking cash money,

millionaire paid.

-Why'd he give you the tape?

-I'm waiting to watch with you.

All right, I'm on my way.

-I'm gonna get back.

-Thanks for walking with me.

Maybe I'll see you soon?

What's up, man?

What was you doing with Liyah?

Just talking. It's been a long time.

It ain't nothing.

Yeah, you right.

It better not be nothing.

I'm saying,

you my boy and everything.

When it comes to baby sis,

I will hurt somebody.

Relax.

-What's this?

-This is an official challenge,

There's your answer right there.

-This is the real, $5000 challenge,

-Did he just say $5000?

-We got this.

-Y'all put up five grand,,,

,,,and we'll put up five grand,

Your crew versus our crew,

-We'll let you pick the place,

-We'll even let you pick the time,

And as much as we don't wanna

take your money,,,

,,,the word is you're the best crew,

We have to show everyone

who the best really is,

-Come on, now.

-We gotta tell the crew.

-We'll tell them tonight after the battle.

-We're about to get this paper, dog.

All right, all right, all right.

That's time.

Time to see which one of these crews

y'all like best.

How about these folks right here?

All right, all right, all right.

What about this side here?

What's up?

Take it to that bank!

It would seem to me like the money

in the hat would go to your team.

But we have a little situation here.

David and Elgin's crew came up to me

right before this kicked off and said:

"Look here, Mr. Rad. We'd like to

challenge them for double or nothing."

The question is....

Look at me.

The question is, what you gonna do?

Sit down, take your time,

work it out amongst each other.

-Chatter, chatter, here we go.

-Let's do it, yo.

Then it's on.

Time!

-That's right! That's right!

-Yeah, boy!

Gather round, gather round.

Come on, come on.

That was hot, man.

Catch up with y'all later.

I got a date.

Rico, we need

a group discussion.

We just got a $5000 challenge from

some rich kid out of Orange County.

Show me the money. What-what!

Marty, can you get Oscar

to be down with us?

He don't battle no more.

-You think you could ask anyway?

-Yeah, I'll ask.

All right, cool.

Look, this is serious, y'all.

I'm talking practice every day,

even on the weekend.

Y'all gotta be on point.

If y'all ain't down that night...

...you don't get that money.

-We gonna have to put money up?

-Me and D will put up money.
