What did you pay for? Just because you adopted me when no one else would, I'm your puppet now? You are supposed to take it every advantage that we gave you, despite Despite what? Being black? I didn't say that, Andy.
You never actually say it.
If you want to continue chasing your dream, we're gonna support you.
Hmm? Just as long as you hang on to the internship.
You don't think I can make it as an artist.
[SIGHS.]
- Yes, sir.

Charles Floyd is pissed that we lost that deal with Sound House.
Now, this regional tour better bank in some real bread.

You know Star ain't mad.
She's cool with us.

She's family.
And I've been making a lot of mistakes lately.

ANGEL: Yo, you got to calm down, man.
Okay? You're not the only one with messed up parents.
My parents are white.
Have you seen me? Yeah.
I'm the only black person that they know.
Do you know how that feels? So, what you're telling me, you grew up with no black culture whatsoever? I listened to music.
Natalie Cole, Sammy Davis Jr.
, James Brown.
These are the people that I learned my culture from.
- Who's Sammy Davis Jr.
? - Are you kidding me right now? Hey.
Where's mine? I ain't your wife.
Well, you're barely his.
- Oh, my God.
- [CHUCKLES.]
That looks like lust and depression.
Who's Samuel Davis Jr.
? No favors.
I want my money.
All of it.
200 thou.
No.
And my mama don't need to know.
All right.
Peace.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
Don't worry.
I know not to repeat what I just heard.
You are smart and cute.
Who the hell is you? I'm Andy.
So, what do you do? I'm trying to be a singer over at Midtown.
Well, maybe we should get a drink.
Maybe you can sing me something.
I'm sorry, ma'am Did you just call me "ma'am"? Too thirsty.
But are you hungry? [OVERLAPPING CHATTER.]
All right, guys.
- Guys.
- [CHATTER STOPS.]
Thank you.
Meet Natalie Knight.
CEO of Knight Universe.
She's the top promoter in the southeast.
- SIMONE: Natalie.
- Nice to meet you guys.
Yes? You're really pretty.
Thank you.
So we lost Sound House and we got her? What you got is someone who knows how to break artists to new audiences.
You guys have Atlanta on lock, right? - They love us.
- That's great.
But, see, for where you want to go, it's gonna require so much more.
- Like what? - I got you guys a gig performing at Tallahassee A&M U.
STAR: Oh, cool.
I know the U's for "university.
" What's the A&M for? ANDY: Tallahassee Agricultural and Mechanical University.
It's only the most important and historical black college in the country.
Very good.
STAR: I'm sorry, I don't memorize the acronyms for colleges for fun.
I mean, you slept with enough black dudes.
You could be alumni.
NATALIE: So, the plan is, I'll get with your management, set up some events before the concert.
Then we'll put together an after-party with one of the hottest DJs in the city and make you guys look real good.
So, th-this is what my career's come to? I'm doing colleges now.
Because if you're on the team, that means you have to take a hit for them.
And the rest of you need to establish a fan base with the college kids on this campus.
Landing the college audience is key to your careers.
It's gonna be a true indicator of success.
I need to see if you guys have what it takes.
ANDY: Oh, we got what it takes.
And you better believe, when me and Angel hit that stage, there's gonna be panties flying everywhere.
If they can see your tiny ass from the audience.
- That's what I'm saying.
- Wow.
Maybe if you moved them tig ol' bitties out the way, somebody can see something.
Did you save up your money to get those done? NATALIE: Whatever act gets the most heat on the campus, you could be the next big thing.
You never know what could happen in a weekend.
MAURICE: All right.
Y'all are done.
NATALIE: It's nice meeting all of you.
- Pleasure.
- Isn't he adorable? Tough crowd.
Yeah.
Look, I hope you're right about this.
- This whole tour is on my shoulders.
- Whoa.
Stop whining.
This is why I broke up with your ass.
I got this.
Hey.
Uh, uh, come in.
You Can I get you anything? Nah, I'm good.
So, what, you Arnold's girlfriend or something? 'Cause I'm not trying to get with him.
I just want him to meet his son.
You always did have a mouth on you, Kish.
Who are you? I'm Arnold.
Look, I am not in the mood for games, Miss.
So where is he? He's here.
[SIGHS.]
What the hell did you go and do to yourself, Arnold? How you just gonna pop up here and drop this on me and not even have the decency to tell me his name? Jaden.
And he wants to meet his father, not whatever you are.
[DOOR SLAMS.]
[CAMERA CLICKS.]
Got it? Thank you.
Ah, Miss Carlotta.
Just the woman I was looking for.
So, what time are we rolling out to Tallahassee tomorrow? I hear you think this is beneath you.
- No.
- It's not.
It's a smart move.
- 5:00 a.
m.
, we out.
- No, I-I get it.
I get it.
- Teamwork makes the dream work.
- All right.
All right? Just let me know what Natalie's trying to pay me.
I need three.
All right? I'm trying to get some equipment so I can record on the road.
- All right, I got you.
- Please.
You know, you've been grinding pretty steady lately.
- When am I gonna hear something? - Well, you get that money up, and we can kind of have a conversation.
I'm gonna get that money up, so you better have that music ready.
I got you.
It's fire, too.
It's like blazing fire.
Give me something to work with.
- Have it ready.
- What's up, man? Hey, so Uh, what's this I hear about, uh, some college gig in Tallahassee? Oh, the promoter thinks it'll be good for exposure.
- What, you're just hearing about it? - What? [SCOFFS.]
Nah.
I've been knowing about it.
Yeah, I just - I've been taking care of some stuff.
- Mm-mm.
You slippin', Jahil.
[CHUCKLES.]
You're getting too old for this, huh? - [SCOFFS.]
You ain't so young yourself.
- Mm-hmm.
You could still get it, though.
Don't.
Don't.
Don't even.
[CLICKING TONGUE.]
Right back at you.
Here you go.
Here we go.
Aw.
I'm so proud of you.
Don't look at me like that.
Why not? - Because.
- 'Cause why? - 'Cause - [BOTH LAUGH.]
This what I'm paying for, now? - [CLEARS THROAT.]
- What happened to knocking? You used to knock when Alex was here.
Alex was your girlfriend.
This one here is supposed to be helping you walk.
Not get your freak on.
You know what? I'm-I'm gonna go.
Yeah, you do that.
- [HUFFS.]
- DEREK: We're gonna do dinner still, right? Yeah.
Dinner? Yes, dinner.
- For all the extra PT work.
- [SCOFFS.]
Oh, what is she, Mexican? And what if she is? Grandma, what's wrong with you? I thought you were supposed to be staying over at Bo's tonight.
Can't you go back over there, or something? This is my house.
I come back from Bo's when I damn well please.
Ha.
Fine.
Go ahead.
Guess I'll have to put up with your snoring.
When I find my hustle, I'm getting the hell up out of here.
I promise.
I know you're tired of seeing me.
I'm tired of seeing you, too.
Good night.
You ungrateful bastard.
Do that.
Yeah.
I mean, to finally work with - a female promoter? - [LAUGHS.]
It wasn't like that for me back with Mixed Harmony.
Ah, well, it's still a boy's game.
Maurice says good things about you.
[CHUCKLES.]
Mo's got to say that.
I know all his dirt.
[CHUCKLES.]
So About Noah doing a walk-through tonight.
What kind of number you have in mind? Zero.
Shorty Black is the hottest DJ in Florida.
So, if he likes your artists, he'll get them played in the clubs and in all the colleges in the state.
I understand Noah is still on the comeback, but he's still got a name that pulls an audience.
And yet, Sound House passed on him.
I mean, isn't that why I'm here? I'm not letting my artist do a walk-through for less than $5K.
And I'll be sure to let Maurice know you're trying to play us.
Okay, first of all, no one is trying to play you.
Maurice knows that I keep my budgets tight.
I hire students to work the campus shows, and I don't pay artists big-ass fees.
And just so you know, bringing up his name is not gonna help you.
I mean, unless you guys have something going on.
I don't need Maurice to fight my battles.
I just need you to live up to the rep that he gave you.
[NATALIE CHUCKLES.]
Okay.
Fine.
Noah will get his money.
And you can tell Maurice that I came correct, 'cause I know he goes after women that he works with.
It's good, ain't it? See you on the tour.
You ever thought about going to college? - You're not going to college.
- I never said I was.
- All right.
- I was just asking.
You're not going.
[KNOCKS.]
Hey.
Carlotta didn't feel like picking me up at Noah's in the morning, so I'm staying here.
Look, can we get to the part where you're like, "It just happened.
" And then you're like, "It doesn't matter.
We need to focus on the group.
" - Funny.
- STAR: I hate you.
SIMONE: Or we could talk about, like, me doing it with Angel.
Doing what? Doing it with Angel? Just-just uh sex, okay? - STAR: You can't have sex with him.
- [LAUGHS.]
You just met him.
Girl, I'm married.
That's true.
She's married.
Oh, what, so, 'cause I'm a whore, I don't get to have an opinion about my little sister? No, no, no.
You a you a ho.
[LAUGHTER.]
We got a long day tomorrow; y'all better shut it down soon.
We got to get down there and get ahead of the game.
Wait, Andy and Angel are already in Tallahassee.
- What are you talking about? - What? Look at this.
We down here at Tally A&M! [WHOOPING.]
Yeah! We're about to show y'all who the real artists that run Midtown are.
You know, forget old man Noah.
Forget Take Three.
ALEXANDRA: They're already at it.
And, of course, throwing shade.
- We need to get to Florida.
- Right now.
Hello, hey, baby, what's your name? I am Buddy, only reason why you came Okay, today me and you gonna do our thing [INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
Okay, great.
Wow.
Finally got into college, guys.
Feels good.
[WOMAN WHOOPS.]
- STAR: Steppers.
- SIMONE: We should watch this.
Oh, my God.
[WHOOPING IN UNISON.]

Look at her right there, she's so dope.
- [WHOOPING IN UNISON.]
- D.
Phi T! Ah, ha! - Yes! - [WHOOPS.]
Wow.
STAR: I would totally go to a sorority for that.
Star, isn't that your friend? ALEXANDRA: Oh, oh, my God, he's so fine, and he's taking his shirt off.
I can't even look at him.
Go.
- STAR: No, don't make me do that.
- ALEXANDRA: Go.
Why do you do this to me? Ugh.
The world with your money [SIGHS.]
What are you doing here? You're not happy to see me? Maurice said he needed a roadie.
I, uh, needed the money.
But I was hoping this would give me a chance to maybe take you out again.
Maybe not drunk.
And we could talk.
Normally, I would find somewhere inside to take you, and nail you to one of the walls and make your head spin around like the little girl from The Exorcist, but I don't have time for that right now.
'Cause I'm on tour.
And I need to focus.
So, just stay out of my way today.
Not your ordinary bad girl with the blonde, curly CARLOTTA: Natalie says Fridays on the quad is supposed to be lit, so let's try to meet as many students as we can.
- Wow.
Two.
- Yeah, Miss C, I was hoping - that we'd have more fans than this.
- Don't worry about the ones who aren't here, worry about the ones who are.
- TAMMI: Hi.
- Hey.
- Can we get a quick pic? - STAR: Yes, of course.
Oh, your song, "You Don't Know Me, Girl," that is my song.
- Oh, my God! - SIMONE: Oh! [LAUGHS.]
Your part is everything.
Well, Alex knows how to make me sound good, so Oh, you do produce, don't you? That's how you met fine-ass Noah.
Speaking of him, is he gonna be here? Like, he coming to the show? - Uh - You don't need to know.
WOMAN: It's Noah! MAN: Noah Brooks in the house! STAR: What is he doing? He's supposed to be inside.
Excuse me Noah.
- Noah, hey.
- 'Sup? What's up? - TAMMI: How you doing? - NOAH: What's up, how you doing? Wearing the same colors as me.
- Is that right? Yeah.
- [LAUGHS.]
Look, I know you saw my DM.
- Um - @TallahasseeTammi.
- I'm not sure.
- You're not sure? So, uh [LAUGHS.]
I need to remind you? Oh, oh, you got to chill, baby, you got to chill.
Hey, little bitch, move.
- CARLOTTA: Oh, my God.
- NOAH: Wait Star - You think I'm playing with you? - You are coming over here.
- CARLOTTA: Keep it classy.
- Star.
Please don't hit a student.
What are you doing? - I'm here to support my baby.
- Look.
I just think you're stealing a lot of our shine right now, and I think it's best if you go.
I didn't have nothing to do with that, come on.
Are you serious? Yes.
All right.
Good-bye.
I got a real good hand, yes.
- Cassie.
- What? So you just gonna sit in the salon and play loud-ass games? Relax, Miss Bruce.
Damn.
Don't start no trouble.
Look, ladies, I'm gonna be right back, okay? - Ooh, yeah.
- All right, hurry back.
Miss Bruce, life is got.
I got me a new hustle without my mama, and you know what? I want you in on it.
I got a connect on some quality pills, and I need somebody I can trust to help me move it out of the salon.
Bitch, ain't no such thing as no 40-year-old rookie drug dealer.
Now, I thought you was ready to make some real money.
I mean, ain't that what the butt shots was for? Come on.
Look, I'm not about to risk this with Carlotta.
I just got back on her good side.
[GRUNTS.]
You sound ridiculous.
CASSIE: Hey, niece.
- Hey, T.
- You look so pretty.
- How are you? - Good.
How'd it go with your baby mama? [MOUTHS.]
- Her who? - Really? Well, bitch, you ain't said nothing about not telling your auntie.
When was you ever with a woman, Cott? Seven years ago.
So we got family out there? Yes, could you keep your voice down? No.
A son.
And his mama's tripping so bad, I don't even know if I'm gonna be able to meet him.
What you mean? Girl, I will call one of our cousins right now, - and you gonna get to see your son tonight.
- No.
No.
Please, could you just let me handle this for once? You better handle it, Cotton.
I mean it.
Stop being a little bitch and man up.
I ought to beat your ass.
You gonna tell her to stop being a bitch and man up? Damn.
You right.
So out of order.
ANDY: Oh, my God.
You see all these beautiful black women over here? I definitely should've went to a HBCU.
Man, don't tell me your mad that your parents put you in Harvard.
- Come on.
- I'm not mad, but you don't get this at Harvard.
Yo, what the? [CAMERA CLICKS.]
JAHIL: Hey, how you guys doing? Not as good as Take Three's doing.
- Look at that.
- JAHIL: Look, you want your music bumping at all the parties on the college circuit, right? ANGEL: Andy! ANDY: Hey, I'm gonna put our music on real quick.

You're gonna see us tonight? [CHEERING.]
You and El DeBarge got two seconds to get out of here.
I'm not playing anymore.
Don't worry.
I'll leave some fans for you.
You're really delusional.
Nobody's worried about Ayanna's leftover pet project, Andy.
You steal our shine 'cause you feel like you don't have any of your own.
You're an intern.
And you steal our culture because you have none of your own.
You're mad at me because you feel out of place, and I feel comfortable.
That's not my problem.
Don't be mad at me because you don't know who you are.
MR.
SMITH: That's not what we paid for, Andy.
STAR: Don't be mad at me because you don't know who you are.
ANDY: Oh Lightning only sparks my freedom Broken only makes me whole Everybody gotta fight their demons Everybody gotta face that truth That our time won't last forever There's a reason God made you you Through all the hard Through the pain Lonely nights Through the shame 'Cause the start of the change is In your DNA, yeah, yeah - It's written in your blood - Yeah - Blood - Yeah - Blood, your blood - Yeah Before the roof on the world was started You were gonna be somebody Your blood - Yeah - Your blood - Yeah, yeah - Your blood - Your blood - So As long as there's a beat where your heart is You are gonna be somebody MARTIN LUTHER KING JR: We are able to say to ourselves now that we do count.

Maybe you need to check your girls.
Or is this really about the fact that you're not the only one who's been with Maurice? Don't nobody care what y'all used to do.
Let me tell you something, lady.
The only thing I need to do is what's best for my artists.

You always operate on ten? What are you doing? Hello? I'm slashing his tires.

He was talking to the sound guy.
He messed your show up.

You messed up our sound, - I'm messing with your car.
- Psycho trailer trash bitch slashing tires?! I'm the white trash, bro.
