Wade ain't getting this.

This is mine.

-Fifty thousand dollars?

-And a shot to rock a music video.

We gotta do it with the old crew.

-Rashann, Saint, El--

-What?

No, man.

I'm tired of El dissing me.

I'm gonna win this money, then break

him off some so I don't owe him.

But that's just the way that story ends.

I'll catch up with you. 50,000!

Hey, what's up, y'all?

I'm La La from MTV...

...and I'm chilling

at the L.A. Convention Center...

...in sunny Southern California.

I'm surrounded by crews.

It is the semifinals

of the Big Bounce competition.

It has been off the hook

for real, for real...

...and I'm gonna keep you updated

on what's going down.

Mr. Rad, come here. I want you

to meet my friend, Beautifull.

-Hey, Beautiful.

-That's Beautifull with two L's.

Nice to meet you.

So, what's going on

with David and Elgin out here?

I been trying to talk to these two.

I can't seem to get through.

They need to stop

all this messing around.

Wait a minute,

are y'all feeling this right now?

I'm talking about the hottest crews

from Los Angeles, California...

...competing for $50,000!

Do y'all hear me? $50,000 for real!

Mr. Rad, I'm really worried

about Elgin.

Liyah, I've known you kids around

this neighborhood all your life.

There's one person that you can

talk to around here, that's Mr. Rad.

Now, come on.

Elgin owes Emerald

a lot of money and--

Ain't nothing to worry yourself about.

I done took care of that.

-But how--?

-I got a friend, Mr. Chuck...

...and neither David nor Elgin

have anything to worry about.

Let's just say...

...that Mr. Emerald has had

what they call a little change of heart.

-But how did you know--?

-Mr. Rad knows everything...

...that goes down

in Mr. Rad's neighborhood.

-And I took care of that.

-Thank you.

We should tell David and Elgin.

They're freaked out about it.

Oh, no, no, no. Let's just let them

keep on freaking out.

That'll be good.

Might get some sense into their heads.

Because if they don't pull it together,

little Wade or whatever his name is...

...he'll walk away

with this money again for sure.

Here's the deal.

...but only five are gonna make it

to the finals tomorrow.

And the winners are gonna appear...

...in multi-platinum recording artist--

Y'all ain't ready. Lil' ~Kim's video.

There go Dave's crew right there.

Let's go, D!

That's a damn shame.

Where your boy Saint?

Ain't he supposed to be here?

He, like, the little mascot,

ain't he?

Yeah, for sure,

but I ain't seen him all day.

Man! I'm La La. I'll be back tomorrow

for the finals, so stay tuned.

-I knew you'd be here.

-What's up, stranger?

So is there any brains on that menu

or common sense...

-...you can order?

-Not now.

When? Someone needs to let him and

El know how ridiculous they're being.

I'm gonna get with a crew myself

and make me a video...

-...and get some money.

-B?

-What?

-Can you give us a minute, please?

You want me to go sit

at a table by myself...

...Iooking all lonely?

Yes. I'll be over there soon.

Fine.

I came here to make sure

you were okay.

I'd be a lot better if we were together.

Look, I'm not trying to stress you.

My crew lost to El.

Even with all our drama,

something in me was cool with it.

I hope he wins.

I know he needs it.

-You seen Rico?

-I think he's with El and Vick.

We got to find Ric. Saint got shot.

-What?

-My God! What happened?

He was with Lanky and Bug

and some dude sprayed the car.

-How is he?

-ls he okay?

I heard he got hit twice,

but the hospital's giving no info.

-We gotta find Ric.

-I'm going.

No. I don't feel like dealing

with your brother, okay? Trust me.

Miss, I'm looking for my brother.

-What's his name?

-Teshawn Miller.

-We call him Lil Saint.

-Yeah.

Teshawn's family left

about an hour ago.

He's not my brother,

but blood couldn't make us any closer.

-We need to see him, okay?

-You wait in the waiting room.

Come on, y'all.

-How's Saint?

-Did you see him yet?

-Not yet.

-There anything we can do?

No. We just wanna see Saint.

We're waiting to see Teshawn.

~Kids, I think you should talk

to Teshawn's family.

Doc, no disrespect,

but we are Teshawn's family.

All right?

-I can appreciate that, but--

-But what?

What, do you want it in writing?

What do I have to tell you?

I mean, he eats in my crib, I buy him

clothes, I keep him out of trouble.

I'm closer to that kid than anybody.

Just let me go in, all right?

I just wanna let him know I'm here.

I know he's looking for me.

Look, we'll all wait out here

if you could just let Rico go in, Doc.

Please.

Look, I'm sorry

to have to tell you this...

...but Teshawn died a few hours ago.

-What?

-A bullet...

...pierced his lung and caused

severe internal bleeding.

We tried to contain it.

We tried to revive him.

He didn't come back.

There's nothing more we could do.

I'm so sorry.

No, man! Just let me go!

-What's up, Ric?

-What's up?

-How you holding up, man?

-I'm all right.

El, I been thinking, though.

I was always going on to Lil Saint

about how important friendship is...

...and how you gotta look out

for family and friends.

You know what he would say?

He said, "Like Elgin and David do?"

El, I wanna be in the competition.

You can get down with me

and my crew.

I don't wanna just get down,

I wanna win.

That's what I'm saying.

We'll get this paper.

It's about more than money.

Look, I wanna be the man

Lil Saint thought I was.

Hasn't losing Lil Saint made you

realize life is too short for all of this?

We need David to do it as a team.

-Look, we don't have David.

-You could.

I told him to come over here

so I could talk to him.

-I said you were at Grandma's.

-You and Ric set me up?

Look, you call it what you want, man,

but we need to end this now.

-Hey, D.

-What's up?

-What's up, Ric?

-What's up?

I stopped by Lil Saint's mom's earlier.

She not doing too good.

I know. I just came from there.

Why am I here?

We want you and El

to stop the madness.

El, I wish you the best of luck,

all right, bro?

Stop being so stubborn

and at least listen!

Ain't nothing to talk about.

Ain't gonna happen.

This feud is stupid, selfish

and it affects a lot of people.

Rico and the crew

have been down with y'all for years.

Don't they deserve the chance

to win this competition?

And you're always talking

about how you'll help Mama.

If you win this, you could help her.

You're not gonna win this competition

without David and you know it.

Come on, y'all, let's just do it for

Lil Saint. I mean, he loved the crew.

If he'd been in the battle

with one of y'all crews...

...he wouldn't have been in that car.

He'd be here right now.

But the rules say

the crews are locked down.

And you gotta compete

with whatever crew you started with.

Dang, that's messed up.

Look, I'm sorry, Ric.

David ain't getting down with my crew

no matter what.

Wish your brother good luck for me.

What's up, what's up? This is La La

from MTV. Check it out.
