and I reached out to my brother.

As you know, I don't have the
best relationship with our dad.

- We all had an addiction.
- Right.

But he's, he's getting
his self together.

to fall apart at the seams.

I'm trying to take a few steps
to make that change.

you're a mother and a wife,

00:00:27,294 --> 00:00:29,830
that shouldn't stop
what you wanna do.

I don't know
if it's a coincidence

I've known Ceaser for a minute.
So when he told me
72
00:03:15,362 --> 00:03:17,264
there was a spot open
here in Brooklyn,
73
00:03:17,331 --> 00:03:18,732
I was excited to audition.

This is a big opportunity
for me.

quite that simple.

so I'ma roll with it.

tattooing, Nychelle?

- In an apprenticeship.
- What made you start tattooing?
79
00:03:29,943 --> 00:03:31,912
- Actually I was a professional
painter in Dallas.
80
00:03:31,979 --> 00:03:33,847
And everybody knew me
as a painter.
81
00:03:33,914 --> 00:03:35,716
And I wanted to learn,
but you know, it's hard
82
00:03:35,782 --> 00:03:36,783
to get into the industry.
- That's how I started.

That's fire.

we tried to give Ceaser respect,

what was happening.

learning how to be a boss.

mans up and he makes
171

Whether he goes

00:07:00,988 --> 00:07:03,090
to Ceaser and sets
things straight
173
00:07:03,156 --> 00:07:06,093
or just as [bleep] and quits,
he gotta do something
174

he not doing nothing.

00:07:08,095 --> 00:07:11,131

getting into this.

I got this.

Don't forget,
I'm a boss, too, baby.

it's clear

that there's a lot
of unfinished business.
182
00:07:24,478 --> 00:07:27,514
So, I think we should
just take Puma's advice

and reconnect with Ceaser.
184
00:07:29,516 --> 00:07:31,251

that I'm appreciated

But, yeah, babe, like,
233
00:09:24,231 --> 00:09:25,832
I've been thinking about a lot.
234
00:09:25,899 --> 00:09:28,368
Especially, like, you know...
235
00:09:28,435 --> 00:09:32,306
the unfortunate circumstances
with my dad.
236
00:09:32,372 --> 00:09:35,275
My dad recently passed away,
and it was totally unexpected.
237
00:09:35,342 --> 00:09:37,544
And it happened at a time where
I was just thinking about
238
00:09:37,611 --> 00:09:39,680
reaching out to get to know him
a little bit better.
239
00:09:39,746 --> 00:09:41,515
I don't got the best
relationship with our dad.
240
00:09:41,582 --> 00:09:43,383
- We both have resentment
towards him when we was
241
00:09:43,450 --> 00:09:46,453
growing up, but he's,
he's getting his self together.
242
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,689
- Hearing you, this is why
we need to have this bond.
243
00:09:48,755 --> 00:09:50,958
- Right. Mm-hmm.
- I need to know these things.
244
00:09:51,024 --> 00:09:53,093
And now I'll never
have that chance.
245
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:54,561
- How are you feeling?
246
00:09:54,628 --> 00:09:56,864
- I don't know, it's just
like a weird feeling.
247
00:09:56,930 --> 00:09:59,233
It definitely made me realize
248
00:09:59,299 --> 00:10:02,436
how much more important
family is.
249
00:10:02,503 --> 00:10:05,272
When we do have children
regardless of my relationship
250
00:10:05,339 --> 00:10:08,375
with my dad, I will want them to
know they granddad and like...
251
00:10:08,442 --> 00:10:11,478
Now that that's never gonna
happen, it's, like...
252
00:10:11,545 --> 00:10:13,046
kinda sucks to me.
253
00:10:13,113 --> 00:10:14,681
- Family doesn't end
254
00:10:14,748 --> 00:10:17,484
because someone isn't physically
present there.
255
00:10:17,551 --> 00:10:20,487
They can still know him through
you and through your brother.
256
00:10:20,554 --> 00:10:23,023
- I'm just learning all these
things about my dad.
257
00:10:23,090 --> 00:10:26,260
And everybody say he was like
a great person.
258
00:10:26,326 --> 00:10:27,895
Which a lot of people
say about me.
259
00:10:27,961 --> 00:10:30,931
So I guess I took on a lot of
his characteristics besides
260
00:10:30,998 --> 00:10:34,535
the fact of being
in our children's life.
261
00:10:34,601 --> 00:10:37,804
'Cause when I have
a real child
262
00:10:37,871 --> 00:10:40,607
I'm definitely gonna be there
one thousand percent
263
00:10:40,674 --> 00:10:43,343
to support the child
and do whatever I need to do.
264
00:10:43,410 --> 00:10:45,412
I really wish things
could have been different
265
00:10:45,479 --> 00:10:48,482
between my dad and I.
I can't stop thinking about
266
00:10:48,549 --> 00:10:51,151
what if I had time
to reconnect with my dad.
267
00:10:51,218 --> 00:10:52,886
How much that would've
changed things.
268
00:10:52,953 --> 00:10:55,656
But I need to focus
on the future
269
00:10:55,722 --> 00:10:58,025
and also making sure my older
brother Wayne is good
270
00:10:58,091 --> 00:11:00,194

that I do have.

I don't really care.

I'm gonna do a job, okay?
508
00:19:58,365 --> 00:20:00,801
All I know is I'm gonna make
the best out of this awkward

it would be to just work hard...

- Make money.

- And have fun.

good, though, Bro?
540

something by you.
541

- Mm-hmm.
- I was thinking about
542
00:21:14,274 --> 00:21:16,710
doing something for the shop.
- Something for the shop.
543
00:21:16,777 --> 00:21:19,179
- So, you know, I have
sickle cell anemia, bro.
544
00:21:19,246 --> 00:21:20,447
- Right.
- You know, I was born
545
00:21:20,514 --> 00:21:22,249
with that, so...
I don't feel
546
00:21:22,316 --> 00:21:25,619
a lot of people have enough
education on it.
547
00:21:25,686 --> 00:21:26,954
- Right.
- So I just wanna
548
00:21:27,020 --> 00:21:28,922
bring awareness to people.
So sickle cell
549
00:21:28,989 --> 00:21:30,958
is a blood disorder.
550
00:21:31,024 --> 00:21:33,193
You guys have normal
blood cells.
551
00:21:33,260 --> 00:21:34,394
Shape of a oval.
552
00:21:34,461 --> 00:21:36,096
My blood cells unfortunately
553
00:21:36,163 --> 00:21:39,166
are in the shape
of a crescent moon.
554
00:21:39,233 --> 00:21:42,035
So as the blood is flowing
through the bloodstream,
555
00:21:42,102 --> 00:21:45,506
the blood cells are going
through each other like this.
556
00:21:45,572 --> 00:21:48,008
So just imagine putting
like a golf ball
557
00:21:48,075 --> 00:21:50,844
through like a really,
really small straw.
558
00:21:50,911 --> 00:21:54,081
The pain from this
is so extreme that sometimes
559
00:21:54,147 --> 00:21:56,984
I have to be hospitalized,
and this is something
560
00:21:57,050 --> 00:22:00,621
that I've been dealing with
through my entire life.
561
00:22:00,687 --> 00:22:03,624
I go through that every day.
562
00:22:03,690 --> 00:22:05,125
- I could dig it.
I knew you for
563
00:22:05,192 --> 00:22:08,195
the longest, forever.
And I still don't understand
564
00:22:08,262 --> 00:22:10,397
about sickle cell
too much myself.
565
00:22:10,464 --> 00:22:13,534
I know it's a terrible disease,
you know what I mean?
566
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:14,668
- I remember when I was younger,
567
00:22:14,735 --> 00:22:16,837
the doctor had told my mom...
568
00:22:16,904 --> 00:22:18,272
- Word, nah, it's cool, bro.
569
00:22:18,338 --> 00:22:20,641
- That I wasn't gonna
live to 18 years old.
570
00:22:20,707 --> 00:22:22,009
- But look at you now.
571
00:22:22,075 --> 00:22:24,144
- They way God has just blessed
me now, bro,
572
00:22:24,211 --> 00:22:26,580
'cause like, it's just
under control, like...
573
00:22:26,647 --> 00:22:29,049
I just wanna bring awareness,
bro, 'cause I feel like
574
00:22:29,116 --> 00:22:31,451
this is something people need.
- Word.
575
00:22:31,518 --> 00:22:34,054
- And I think Black Ink Cares.
576
00:22:34,121 --> 00:22:35,589
This could be
the voice for that.
577
00:22:35,656 --> 00:22:38,392
I talked to Ceas,
and he's down to do the event.
578
00:22:38,458 --> 00:22:40,994
A lot of people don't know
what sickle cell is.
579
00:22:41,061 --> 00:22:43,430
I just wanna bring education
to sickle cell.
580
00:22:43,497 --> 00:22:44,898
- It's a dope ass action.
- I know.
581
00:22:44,965 --> 00:22:46,400
I wanna use
Black Ink Cares also.
582
00:22:46,466 --> 00:22:49,536
Try to give out, like,
sickle cell symbol tattoos.
583
00:22:49,603 --> 00:22:51,672
- You know what, Bux?
Listen.
584
00:22:51,738 --> 00:22:54,441
You're family now.
You down with us.
585
00:22:54,508 --> 00:22:55,776
Man, I gotta stick behind you.
586
00:22:55,843 --> 00:22:57,277
- Thank you, bro.
587
00:22:57,344 --> 00:22:58,879
I just wanna do this
for the people, man.
588
00:22:58,946 --> 00:23:00,948
- Right, right.
- Because this is an African
589
00:23:01,014 --> 00:23:03,183
American disease that
people need to know about.
590
00:23:03,250 --> 00:23:06,286
I'm gonna give everybody like
the educational part.
591
00:23:06,353 --> 00:23:09,089
But I also wanna give them like
the experience part.
592
00:23:09,156 --> 00:23:11,692
Like, living with it.
Like, I wanna explain that.
593
00:23:11,758 --> 00:23:14,228
- I think this is a great event.
594
00:23:14,294 --> 00:23:16,230
- So I've known Spyder
for 15 years.
595
00:23:16,296 --> 00:23:18,198
So his support
for my sickle cell event
596
00:23:18,265 --> 00:23:20,567
means the world to me,
so I'm really happy
597
00:23:20,634 --> 00:23:22,936
that he's jumping aboard
to help me with this.
598
00:23:23,003 --> 00:23:24,771
So a couple of things
I wanna do at this event.
599
00:23:24,838 --> 00:23:27,508
Number one, I wanna do
some free tattoos.
600
00:23:27,574 --> 00:23:32,179
But above all, I wanna give
awareness to sickle cell anemia.
601
00:23:32,246 --> 00:23:35,282
- It's super important for us
to use these platforms that
602
00:23:35,349 --> 00:23:38,752
we got for, you know what
I mean? As much good as we do
603
00:23:38,819 --> 00:23:40,354
for other bull[bleep].
- That's a fact.
604
00:23:40,420 --> 00:23:42,589
- Yo, man, I'm so proud
of this [bleep] Bux, man.
605
00:23:42,656 --> 00:23:45,058
Me and him have been brothers
for like the longest,
606
00:23:45,125 --> 00:23:47,861
for years and years,
like, our bond is just
607
00:23:47,928 --> 00:23:49,496
like unbreakable,
you dig what I'm saying?
608
00:23:49,563 --> 00:23:52,266
So when he is having an event
especially at Black Ink,
609
00:23:52,332 --> 00:23:54,134
with me bringing him
into the fold,
610
00:23:54,201 --> 00:23:55,402
and this is how
you gonna kick things off?
611
00:23:55,469 --> 00:23:57,271
I'm with it.
I wanna be first in line.

and Puma call her Auntie Jackie.

We can joke, and we can be

was the main thing I wanted.

more help with her
651
00:25:35,903 --> 00:25:37,604
then with anything else
you've tried so far?
652
00:25:37,671 --> 00:25:38,872
- Yes.
So she has me
653
00:25:38,939 --> 00:25:40,908
doing affirmations.
- Okay.
654
00:25:40,974 --> 00:25:43,410
And have you been saying them?
655
00:25:43,477 --> 00:25:46,613

- No, but have you been saying?
656
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,815

I've said them out loud.
657
00:25:48,882 --> 00:25:50,717
I may have, like, read them
out loud to myself, but, like...
658
00:25:50,784 --> 00:25:52,986
- You must speak it.
659
00:25:53,053 --> 00:25:56,557
It has power,
and it has truth.
660
00:25:56,623 --> 00:25:59,626

But I feel like if I sit here
and say that,
665
00:26:07,267 --> 00:26:08,802
I'm not gonna do it.
You're gonna be, like,

"Quani, get your ass up
and go in the bathroom..."
667

673
00:26:27,187 --> 00:26:28,989
- So at the meeting with Tanya
and her talking to me
674
00:26:29,056 --> 00:26:31,258
about affirmations, I went home
and I wrote a few down
675
00:26:31,325 --> 00:26:33,961
that really resonated with me,
and I felt like they
676
00:26:34,027 --> 00:26:37,097
really help me
in my insecurities.
677
00:26:37,164 --> 00:26:40,601
My feelings are legitimate,
but they are not me.
678
00:26:40,667 --> 00:26:42,369
- Mm-hmm.
- My worth
679
00:26:42,436 --> 00:26:45,873
is not tied
to how productive I am.
680
00:26:45,939 --> 00:26:47,741
I see someone who's scared.
681
00:26:47,808 --> 00:26:49,877
I'm very scared
about my journey.
682
00:26:49,943 --> 00:26:51,445
I'm scared about, you know,
where I'm gonna go.
683

What I'm gonna do and how
it's gonna affect my family.

So me doing my affirmations
in the mirror,
685
00:26:56,517 --> 00:26:59,920
I guess it's letting me look
at myself and see, you know,
686
00:26:59,987 --> 00:27:02,289
you are a little scared,
but you have to believe

00:33:16,964 --> 00:33:19,733
- This sickle cell event
was a huge success.
849
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,069
And not too long ago,
I was an apprentice.
850
00:33:22,135 --> 00:33:24,438
Now I'm a tattoo artist,
and it looks like
851
00:33:24,505 --> 00:33:26,240
I have the respect
of these guys, and...
852
00:33:26,306 --> 00:33:29,443
for them to participate
and help me with this event,
853
00:33:29,510 --> 00:33:33,113
it means
so much to me, like...
854
00:33:33,180 --> 00:33:34,615
I'm beyond grateful.
855
00:33:34,681 --> 00:33:35,949
I'm gonna get you
wrapped up now, okay?
856
00:33:36,016 --> 00:33:37,718
- Thank you.
857
00:33:37,784 --> 00:33:39,753
- I know we're always giving
each other a hard time
858
00:33:39,820 --> 00:33:41,522
about being
an AP or an artist.
859
00:33:41,588 --> 00:33:44,725
But when it comes down to it,
a person's health is no joke.
860
00:33:44,791 --> 00:33:46,927
And I am honored
to be here with Bux
861
00:33:46,994 --> 00:33:49,930
on something so personal
and important to him.
862
00:33:51,532 --> 00:33:53,000
Oh [bleep].
- What's up, bro?
863
00:33:53,066 --> 00:33:54,902
- Hello, hello,
everybody, hello.
864
00:33:54,968 --> 00:33:57,471
- I'm really happy that Ceaser
pulled up at Bux's event today.
865
00:33:57,538 --> 00:33:59,306
I know how important
this event was for Bux.
866
00:33:59,373 --> 00:34:01,074
'Cause, you know,
he's living with sickle cell,
867
00:34:01,141 --> 00:34:03,777
but he's also trying to make
an impact on the brand
868
00:34:03,844 --> 00:34:05,712
to show everybody
that he's here to stay.
869
00:34:05,779 --> 00:34:07,748
- You look good, boy.
- Thank you, bro.
870
00:34:07,814 --> 00:34:10,751
- As one of the newest members,
you really getting what
871
00:34:10,817 --> 00:34:12,986
we trying to do, you feel me?
I'm proud of you.
872
00:34:13,053 --> 00:34:14,054
- Thank you.
873
00:34:16,657 --> 00:34:18,091
- Yo, man, I'm super
proud of Bux.
874
00:34:18,158 --> 00:34:19,960
I brought him into Black Ink
because I knew he had
875
00:34:20,027 --> 00:34:21,828
what it took to succeed.
And honestly,
876
00:34:21,895 --> 00:34:23,830
I'm impressed
at the pace that he's moving
877
00:34:23,897 --> 00:34:25,899
and things
that he's accomplishing.
878
00:34:25,966 --> 00:34:30,537
And for him to put his own stamp
on the shop with this event,
879
00:34:30,604 --> 00:34:32,372
I'm prouder than
a peacock, baby.
880
00:34:32,439 --> 00:34:34,641
- When you first brought the
idea in [bleep] talking about,
881
00:34:34,708 --> 00:34:36,109
you know what I mean?
A little like
882
00:34:36,176 --> 00:34:38,745
it's so common, just, I need
to get knowledge of it.
883
00:34:38,812 --> 00:34:40,147
- Yeah.
- It's been an honor
884
00:34:40,214 --> 00:34:41,748
to be a part of this event.
885
00:34:41,815 --> 00:34:44,418
But now I gotta to back home to
Dallas sooner than I'd hoped
886
00:34:44,484 --> 00:34:46,153
to handle some
family commitments.
887
00:34:46,220 --> 00:34:48,622
But hopefully, everybody will
put in a good word
888
00:34:48,689 --> 00:34:52,459
to Ceaser so I can come back
soon and claim my spot.
889
00:34:52,526 --> 00:34:54,661
- I'm glad I was able
to educate.
890
00:34:54,728 --> 00:34:59,533
[excited greetings]
891
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,468
- Aw, man, Rok,
not tonight, bro.
892
00:35:01,535 --> 00:35:02,936
No drama.
- [Tatti] Uh-oh.
893
00:35:03,003 --> 00:35:04,771
- I definitely told Rok
to make sure he made
894
00:35:04,838 --> 00:35:06,874
the right choice with Ceaser,
but I ain't know tonight
895
00:35:06,940 --> 00:35:08,809
was the night he was gonna
choose to do it.
896
00:35:08,876 --> 00:35:12,880
- Ceas, can we have a talk away
from everybody else?
897
00:35:12,946 --> 00:35:13,981
- Yeah.
898
00:35:14,047 --> 00:35:15,749
- I already knew
about Bux's event.
899
00:35:15,816 --> 00:35:17,284
So I figured Ceaser
would be here.
900
00:35:17,351 --> 00:35:19,620
And after talking to Krystal,
it's obvious I'm the one
901
00:35:19,686 --> 00:35:21,622
that's gonna have to figure
this thing out.
902
00:35:22,723 --> 00:35:24,124
- So I haven't been
around sooner.
903
00:35:24,191 --> 00:35:26,660
Been juggling the shop
and engagement and [bleep].
904
00:35:26,727 --> 00:35:29,062
But...
[clears throat]
905
00:35:29,129 --> 00:35:30,898
I know exactly how you feel,
Ceas, you know,
906
00:35:30,964 --> 00:35:33,033
you got your whole
business [bleep] and...
907
00:35:33,100 --> 00:35:36,136
And I'm happy for you to grow
and make all these businesses.
908
00:35:36,203 --> 00:35:37,938
But, like, when you
say that you want
909
00:35:38,005 --> 00:35:39,540
like a piece of Gods of Ink.
910
00:35:39,606 --> 00:35:41,141
You know, that [bleep],
it really hurt.
911
00:35:42,643 --> 00:35:44,778
- Now, listen.
912
00:35:44,845 --> 00:35:46,547
I didn't mean to break up,
you know what I mean,
913
00:35:46,613 --> 00:35:48,415
your happy situation,
you feel me?
914
00:35:48,482 --> 00:35:50,050
At the end of the day,
915
00:35:50,117 --> 00:35:53,053
that [bleep] rub me
the wrong way because
916
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,088
if we built together in two
years, there's no reason
917
00:35:55,155 --> 00:35:56,790
why I can't get
a piece, you feel me?
918
00:35:56,857 --> 00:35:59,760
And I'm willing
to put up some bread.
919
00:35:59,826 --> 00:36:02,829
- But I remember when
I brought up the idea to you,
920
00:36:02,896 --> 00:36:05,098
I really wanted to try to make
it into a Black Ink.
921
00:36:05,165 --> 00:36:07,568
But then, you're like,
nah, but congrats.
922
00:36:07,634 --> 00:36:08,969
I remember that.
923
00:36:09,036 --> 00:36:11,371
But now it's like a year later
and we already
924
00:36:11,438 --> 00:36:13,507
put too much time in it,
and it's like, it would
925
00:36:13,574 --> 00:36:17,211
be a shame to see the
Gods of Ink name go to nothing
926
00:36:17,277 --> 00:36:19,646
after me and Krystal
came so hard for it.
927
00:36:21,181 --> 00:36:23,617
I really hate being caught
between Ceaser and Krystal.
928
00:36:23,684 --> 00:36:25,219
I feel loyal to both of them.
929
00:36:25,285 --> 00:36:27,888
And right now, I just hope
that we come to a compromise.
930
00:36:27,955 --> 00:36:30,023
- Maybe I'm seeing it wrong.
Maybe I'm going by wrong.
931
00:36:30,090 --> 00:36:34,328
I don't know, but I just know
this [bleep] ain't right, bro.
932
00:36:34,394 --> 00:36:35,696
And I could easily be a...
933
00:36:35,762 --> 00:36:37,397
if y'all don't wanna
play with me.
934

I'm a bigger shark, and I just
open up in a bigger city

and then just whup you.
936
00:36:46,807 --> 00:36:48,642
[clears throat]
That's what I'm saying, Ceas.
937
00:36:48,709 --> 00:36:50,677
For me, I woulda
probably hopped on it.
938
00:36:50,744 --> 00:36:52,846
But now since like
me and Krystal 50/50.
939
00:36:52,913 --> 00:36:55,449
I really gotta talk to her.
940
00:36:55,516 --> 00:36:57,918
I really don't even know
if there's an answer here.
941
00:36:57,985 --> 00:37:00,220
This might just be
the end of Black Ink for us.
942
00:37:00,287 --> 00:37:02,422
- Listen, talk to her, figure
out what y'all wanna do.

'Cause at the end of the day,

like I'm looking
at myself in the mirror.
965

we wasn't trying
975
00:38:41,421 --> 00:38:43,023
to build our relation.
If I had spoken to you,

you said he struggled
with addiction.

to the streets.

He had addiction to drugs.

kids, he wanted the best

being an adult, willing to go
into family and wanting to have

00:39:44,818 --> 00:39:46,820
Sometimes I'm sad.
Sometimes I'm angry.
1002
00:39:46,887 --> 00:39:49,089
To be honest, sometimes
it's like I don't care
1003
00:39:49,156 --> 00:39:51,158
'cause I have so much things
going on in my life.
1004
00:39:51,225 --> 00:39:53,627
But with this person
I'm trying to become,
1005
00:39:53,694 --> 00:39:55,629
this is something I'ma have
to sit with and process.
1006
00:39:55,696 --> 00:39:57,664
I can't just
move through this one.
1007
00:39:57,731 --> 00:40:00,434
- This like [bleep] it's all up,
so that's why I want you
1008
00:40:00,501 --> 00:40:02,669
to not mourn his death
but celebrate his life.
1009
00:40:02,736 --> 00:40:04,671
- It sucks that
our children are not
1010
00:40:04,738 --> 00:40:06,240
gonna be able
to meet their granddad.
1011
00:40:06,306 --> 00:40:08,742
They can meet their uncles.
You know what I'm saying?
1012
00:40:08,809 --> 00:40:13,080
So I'm, like, not at peace, but
I'm comfortable with knowing
1013
00:40:13,146 --> 00:40:15,516
that we building a relationship.
- Absolutely.
1014
00:40:15,582 --> 00:40:17,618
- I can't change the past
but I can make sure
1015
00:40:17,684 --> 00:40:19,286
I don't make
the same mistakes again.
1016
00:40:19,353 --> 00:40:22,022
And moving forward, I'm gonna
keep building my relationship
1017
00:40:22,089 --> 00:40:23,824
with my brother
and the rest of my family.
1018
00:40:23,891 --> 00:40:25,726
Oh, it's starting to rain.
This might be him
1019
00:40:25,792 --> 00:40:27,294
telling us get
the [bleep] out of here.
1020
00:40:27,361 --> 00:40:29,329
- Exactly.
- Give me a hug.
1021
00:40:29,396 --> 00:40:30,531
I love you, bro.
- Love you, brother.
1022
00:40:30,597 --> 00:40:32,299
- I'm here, man.
- Likewise, brother,
1023
00:40:32,366 --> 00:40:34,268
you know that.
- Appreciate you.
1024
00:40:34,334 --> 00:40:35,702
- Likewise.
- A'ight, we listening.
1025
00:40:35,769 --> 00:40:46,380
man, we got it.
[laughing]
1026
00:40:48,348 --> 00:40:49,783
- I'ma tell you something
I ain't tell nobody.
125th?
- Mm-hmm.
1027
00:40:49,850 --> 00:40:51,351
- I'm about to close it.
1028
00:40:51,418 --> 00:40:53,053
- [Puma] Never in my life
would I ever think
1029
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,223
a Black Ink would
not be in Harlem.
1030
00:40:56,290 --> 00:40:57,958
- So let me tell you how your
boy tried to play me.
1031
00:40:58,025 --> 00:40:59,526
- Get this girl
outta here, bro.
1032
00:40:59,593 --> 00:41:02,029
- Oh and this [bleep] you
talked about Spyder's wife.
1033
00:41:02,095 --> 00:41:03,797
- [bleep] what?
- Sorry.
1034
00:41:03,864 --> 00:41:06,333
- Easy! Easy!
1035
00:41:07,234 --> 00:41:08,368
- Hello.
1036
00:41:08,435 --> 00:41:10,037
- Me and Safaree
are holding auditions
1037
00:41:10,103 --> 00:41:12,973
to find a freaky girl
to collaborate
1038
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:14,608
with me on my OnlyFan.
1039
00:41:14,675 --> 00:41:16,143
- It's a little skinny
but it's a lot longer
1040
00:41:16,210 --> 00:41:18,011
than a lot of people I've seen.
1041
00:41:20,914 --> 00:41:22,549
- There's no [bleep] way.
1042
00:41:22,616 --> 00:41:24,218
- I wanna know why I ain't
hear from you yet?
1043
00:41:24,284 --> 00:41:26,520
- I been through enough,
and I can't let myself down.
1044
00:41:26,587 --> 00:41:28,689
- You can't let yourself down,
but you gotta tell me
1045
00:41:28,755 --> 00:41:30,624
what you wanna do.
1046
00:41:30,691 --> 00:41:34,695
It's either you here,
you Black Ink or you not.
