Highest 2 Lowest

Yeah. Yeah, Gabe. No, no, no, no, no, no.

It's not a risk. It's a rebirth.

Look, the biggest mistake I ever made

was selling off parts of Stackin' Hits in the first place.

Yeah.

Yeah, it all came to me last night. The money, the buyout, the vote.

It's not the ending. It's an opportunity for a new beginning.

When God gives you an opportunity for a new beginning, you gotta take it.

You don't tell God, "No." You just...

You take it and you make it work.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Right. Whatever needs to be in there. You're the smart guy.

That's why I pay you 5%. Whatever needs to be in there, you put it in there.

I'll have Paul pick it up within an hour.

That's correct. Yes, yes.

That's it. That's it, that's it. All right.

Good. Good. Good. Good, good, good.

It is a beautiful day.

There she is.

- Good morning, Mr. King. - Great morning.

- Are you leaving already? - I can wait.

I got an early meeting, but it can wait.

- I have somewhere to be too, you know. - What's the occasion?

I've got this Studio Museum in Harlem board luncheon.

- Oh, right. - I'm gonna pledge the same

- half a million dollars we did last year. - Now, can we wait on that?

David, you know I'm chairperson of the board.

Well, how about a smaller check for now?

What is up?

Nothin'. We just need to keep things tight and right for right now.

- "Right now"? That sounds wrong to me. - Okay.

We've always supported young, Black artists.

I'm positive our sister, Thelma,

will, you know, give us a grace period, let us circle back.

- You're right. - Yeah, if we need to.

We're good. We're good. We're good.

"Good, good, good," until when?

Until after you've sold Stackin' Hits?

- Trey, we gotta go! - I'm coming.

Your mother's giving me the third degree over here.

- Couldn't find my headband. - Yeah, you should've really forgot it.

What'd I tell you about wearing 'em colors in my house?

You know, that's the... I can't even say it.

- Boston Celtics? - This team like... Celtics!

I'm out.

Hurry up.

- I'm comin'. - Gotta go.

- Love you. - I love you more.

Play hard. Play smart.

You like to gamble?

- Do I gamble? No. - You gamble?

I bet you can't turn that phone off for five minutes.

- How much you paying? - How much you got?

Not enough to bet with you.

How many hours a day you on that?

- I don't know. - Okay, take a guess.

Approximate. You know, ballpark.

Ballpark, I'll probably say five hours.

All right. Five hours on the phone, ten hours sleeping,

three hours eating,

and two minutes with your girl.

You don't think that's a little excessive?

- Five hours? - I gotta get more followers.

To have followers, you gotta be leadin'. Where you leadin' 'em to?

I'm just askin'. Where you leadin'?

- To the promised land. - Oh, yeah? Wow.

You a preacher now? You leadin' 'em to the promised land?

Wait, what scriptures you give 'em? "Thou shalt not listen to bad music"?

Just do what your father said. Turn it off, son.

This ain't the promised land. We on Earth. Turn it off.

- I have to turn-- - Turn the phone off. David said so.

Or I will strike thee down with a vengeance, and...

He mad now. He mad.

- My baby mad. Yeah, he grown mad. - Come on, man.

Did you get a chance to listen to Sula yet?

- Sula who? - Now, come on, Dad.

She's the shorty that I put on your need-to-know, need-to-listen playlist.

Now, come on.

So, the girls DM you to get me to listen to them?

It's one of the perks. What can I say? Got it like that.

- You got it like that, huh? - Uh-huh.

So, what is she like, this Sula?

She's great. She can sing.

She writes her own songs.

Kinda look like a more "light-skinned-ed" Zendaya.

A "light-skinned-ed" Zendaya?

I need you to listen to her soon,

'cause I'm supposed to hook up this weekend.

- You mean, like, "hook up" hook up? - Nah, not "hook up" hook up.

Just hook up, like a legit business meeting.

You want me to listen to her because she can sing,

or do you want me to listen to her because you like her?

- Yeah, both. - Okay, okay, okay.

Well, I'll listen to her. Soon as I come up for air.

"We slow, we blow. We snooze, we lose."

That's how we lost the last artist, and those are your words.

Just give me something I could tell her. Just anything.

I'll listen...

when I come up for air.

Dad, you know, Stackin' Hits Records is my legacy too.

This week will be about your talent,

your attitude, and your skill.

Most important being your attitude.

Do not bring the wrong attitude into this gym.

- Coach Fox runs a tight ship. - Yeah, too tight.

Nah. That's the way it is. That's the way it should be.

- There go Mr. King. Gonna get that. - All right.

- Good morning, David. - What'd you say?

- Good morning, Mr. King. - Good morning, lil Kyle.

- Yes. - Okay. Yeah, okay.

- What's poppin', man? - Yo, what's going on, man?

- Hello there, Mr. King. - Yes, sir.

- Is that my headband? - Yeah. You left it in my closet.

- I just took it. - Okay, okay.

- All right. How you been? - I'm good.

- All right. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. - Excited for another summer camp session.

See if we can get Trey and Kyle here to pass to someone other than each other.

- Good luck with that. - Where do I put my gear?

Bags by the bleachers, but no phones this year.

- Yes, sir. - Thank you. Jewelry too.

We gonna work on your handles, not your TikTok highlight reels.

Put this in the lockbox. You'll get it at the end of the day.

You hanging around, right?

I gotta get to the office. Something important came up.

Paul is gonna pick me up.

I promise, I promise I'll be here tomorrow.

You told me last night you were gonna come.

Tomorrow. That's a promise.

I'll put this in the lockbox.

- They lock yours too? - Obviously.

- All right, love you, Dad. - Love you more.

- You got two fine young men there. - Yes, I do. Godson and son.

- Purple and gold. - You almost got me to say it.

- Orange and blue, right? - Come on.

Hey, we got 17, y'all got two!

Green's my color, you know what I mean?

- Where you going? - How many you got of the 17?

I got three. That's better than two, though.

You got me.

You got me by 15. All right.

Hey! What are y'all doing? Get on the baseline!

Both of you, let's go. What do you think this is?

- Sorry, Coach. - You think this is a circus?

- No, sir. - Trey, Kyle, down back, down back.

Go!

You got Jordans on. What would Michael say?

- Who's Michael? - Who is Michael?

Faster, let's go! Faster!

- King. - Yeah.

- Yeah. My fault. Traffic. - Yeah.

Let me run in real quick and say goodbye to Kyle.

That's all right, we'll see him when we get back.

Damn!

This is everything he gave me.

He said all the statements are in order, and the formal offer's at the very back.

- Everything there? - Yeah. It's just strange

seeing your whole life reduced to a series of numbers.

I overstand.

NYSID #12022001K. That was me upstate.

I like your numbers better.

What else did Gabe say?

He said, "David is officially the craziest client I ever had

- for trying to pull this off." - Yeah? What you think?

- My name is Bennett, and I'm not in it. - No, no.

- My name is Paul, and I can't call. - Come on now.

You're the mogul, I drive the vehicle. I'm just the man next to the man.

And your sister's name is Ruth, right? So tell the truth.

On the serious tip, what you think? Seriously.

Listen, you either build or destroy, beloved.

I think you gotta be a little crazy sometimes in this world

to get what you want.

Appreciate you, bruh.

New mixes or mood music?

- I need a theme. - Theme music.

- Theme music. - Theme.

- You again? We not doing this today. - It's all right, Luther. You again?

- Sixty seconds. - Quick 60. Go ahead. Go.

Have you heard the good word?

Oh, I'm free as a bird

Oh, I have what it takes

You can make no mistake

When you fell bigger beasts I'm the choir who sings

I'm the best of the kingdom

And you are the king

The keeper of brothers The parter of seas

You just need a miracle Made out of me

If one minute's all that I get of your time

To you I will dedicate every line

If this is my last chance I humbly beseech

His highness King David Sir David the King

David, David, sir.

This Marisol Cepeda. She's a young lady from the Boogie Down Bronx.

- It's a dream come true to meet you. - My pleasure.

I grew up on your work with Mariah.

She sings like her and raps too, sir. She's a double threat.

Good, good. What part of the Bronx you from?

Fordham and Davidson.

- There you go. I hope to see you again. - Yeah.

- I hope so too, Mr. King. - You can call me David.

- You ain't gotta call me Mr. King. - I hope so, David.
