Always thought Mel

Five lanes, baby.

First five to ever start

I mean...

It goes deeper than what

you see on the TV.

Right now, what you read...

got Bloods and Crips

fighting over this.

Five stars, we don't

gotta fight over that.

Understand? We generals.

We salute everything.

We done bossed up.

Everybody answers to me.

Sh*t don't go down

unless it goes through me.

Before it was me,

it was me and your pops.

I love him to death, but what

he taught me, I'm gonna use.

I'm-a do for you

what was done for me.

Put you under the wing. You ain't

gotta worry about nothing.

Know what I mean?

You ready to come home?

You really think

that was a stray bullet?

I mean, you gotta remember, son.

The streets are talking.

The streets are evil.

You feel me? Like...

People are negative.

People were envious of the respect

he had, 'cause he had it.

You feel me? Like,

niggas would be, like...

"Yo,

why he got all that for?"

What about me? What I got?"

Hold on one sec.

Hello?

What's good?

What?

You can't handle that?

So you want me to come

all the way over there?

All right. I'll be there

in 15 minutes, man.

Fifteen minutes, man.

Look, man,

I make a rule real quick.

Swing by the crib,

we'll chop it up.

I mean talk a little more.

All right.

Look like you're

having a party right now.

We just sitting, chilling, man.

You got a problem.

What's the problem?

I'm here. I know you're here.

- Damn.

- Want my money. That's what's up, like...

Like I said, give me two

days, and you'll have your money.

Two more days.

You sent your little army, squad down

here, whatever you wanna call 'em.

Know what I'm saying? I sent 'em back

empty-handed, as you can see. Look at it.

It's a little rough

down here, man.

I mean, it's hard right now, man.

That's not my problem!

Getting the package to you,

that's my problem.

I get two days? Two extra days?

That's all I ask for, man.

Been running with you for two years, bro.

Know what I'm saying?

You got it.

Two days. That was rude of me.

Good looking, man. Look out.

Know what I'm saying?

It's just business.

That's cool.

Just business.

It was just business.

It's just f***ing business.

It's just business, right?

Here. Let me do that for you.

But you... You know that you...

Just being in the kitchen alone

is a privilege right now.

If you showed me how to do what you

do, we could be doing it together.

Ew. That's why your corn

be tasting so sweet.

What? Mind your business and

stay out of my damn kitchen.

Maybe I need to stand in the

kitchen with you more often.

Keith Miller

Keith Ross Miller, (28 November 1919 – 11 October 2004) was an Australian test cricketer and a Royal Australian Air Force pilot during World War II. Miller is widely regarded as Australia's greatest ever all-rounder. Because of his ability, irreverent manner and good looks he was a crowd favourite. English journalist Ian Wooldridge called Miller "the golden boy" of cricket, leading to his being nicknamed "Nugget". He "was more than a cricketer ... he embodied the idea that there was more to life than cricket".A member of the record-breaking Invincibles, at the time of his retirement from Test cricket in 1956, Miller had the best statistics of any all-rounder in cricket history. He often batted high in the order, sometimes as high as number three. He was a powerful striker of the ball, and one straight six that he hit at the Sydney Cricket Ground was still rising when it hit the upper deck of the grandstand. Miller was famous for varying his bowling to bemuse batsmen: he made sparing use of slower deliveries and would often adjust his run-up, surprisingly bowling his fastest deliveries from a short run. He was also a fine fielder and an especially acrobatic catcher in the slips.Away from cricket, Miller was also a successful Australian rules footballer. He played for St Kilda and was selected to represent the Victorian state team. He played 50 games for St Kilda, for whom he kicked eight goals in one game against North Melbourne, during 1941.Miller's personality – love of the contest, rather than victory, and his larger-than-life rebelliousness and carousing – helped both shape and limit his cricketing career, as he espoused the opposite of the more puritanical values of Donald Bradman, his captain and later national selector. Neville Cardus referred to Miller as "the Australian in excelsis"; Daily Mail sportswriter Ian Wooldridge's response was "By God he was right". This status was reflected when Miller was made one of the ten inaugural members of the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame. more…
