Hey, what's up, girl?

You knew I wasn't

about to let you leave

without my ink, right?

I know you don't have me

on speaker, do you?

No, no. I mean, yeah,

but it's just me.

So, what's good?

Apologize first.

What happened?

Apologize first.

You know the routine.

Say it. "I'm sorry

for being... "

Uh, I'm sorry

for being

a self-centered,

uh, ass.

Actually change that to

"impatient, arrogant ass. "

Ok, you can't be adding

extras here, Sid.

Tell me something.

Does Simon know

you wet the bed

till you were 12?

Ok, ok, I'm sorry

for being

a self-centered,

arrogant...

No break-dancing.

You crazy,

no, no, you...

No, I ain't

crossing that line.

Just say it, Dre. I got

your review in my hands.

I'll put it at the bottom

of the stack. Come on.

All right.

No break-dancing...

no break-dancing ass

who's taking advantage

of his friendship

with the beautiful,

smart, the giving

hip-hop writer of

The Los Angeles Times.

New editor of Double XL.

The new editor

of Double XL

for his personal

professional

advancement.

Are you happy now?

Mm-hmm. Congratulations.

I think you've got

another hit on your hands.

Thank you, Sid.

Couldn't wait one week

for the review

to come out, huh?

So what's the deal?

You gonna be home in time

for Russell's party?

Oh, look at you.

Like you're on

a first name basis

with Russell Simmons.

Come on now,

you know how I do it.

Yes, I'll be home

for the DefJJam party.

My bags are packed.

Cool. Cool. No, I cannot

wait to see you, big time.

All right, girl. Peace.

All right. Bye, Dre.

Sidney, Voice Over:

For many people,

hip-hop was

that first friend.

The first to talk to us...

the first to understand.

Hip-hop has always been

that kind of friend to me.

And like any relationship,

I've watched it grow.

I've watched it change.

#Who's the one that can't

comprehend at first? #

#Well, I may sound

like a cell phone... #

Hey, Sid Shaw.

Hey, how you doing,

Beanie?

Been trying, um...

What's up?

I'm trying... Me

and my man Fab are

trying to get at you

for the longest.

What's up

with that cover?

Fab, how you doing?

I'm working on it.

Yo, for real?

Yeah, yeah, I got you.

Thirsty?

Girl, I worked

a double shift

at the restaurant

to get this night off.

I'm about to have a ball.

You should, too.

I'm having fun.

Oh, stop!

See? See, this is

why I don't date.

Only guys I meet are

in the industry,

and they ain't never got

their sh*t together.

What, like him?

Sidney, Voice Over: Ever

thought you'd see the day

hip-hop grew up?

From red Kool-Aid block

parties in the Bronx

to champagne toasts

in Soho.

Ooh! Ha ha ha!

What're you

drinking, beautiful?

Uh, um...
