You like "Dolemite."

You grew up on it.

All right.

lf you got to, you got to.

But after you finish

your homework.

No problem, Pop.

What's wrong with you?

Don't like "Dolemite"?

"Way down in the jungle deep...

"bad-ass lion stepped on

the signifyin' monkey's feet."

Toe to toe,

Kid 'n Play is on a roll again

lt's only right that we

keep the crowd dancin'

Rhymes are dope,

the tempo is steady

You ready? Let's rip up

the floor like confetti

Y'all, l got a great

new album in the mail today.

Onyx Communications

and Hey Love Productions...

proudly present "Hey Love."

All the commercials

they showin' nowadays.

God. Every TV station.

Cut the television off,

comin' through the damn walls.

The incomparable Delfonics

and much, much more.

l got to get this fan fixed.

lt was so hot in here

last night...

l saw the devil

sittin' in the living room.

Sh*t. N*ggers ain't gonna

break my mama's good stuff.

Let 'em f*** with this plastic.

What up?

Play Martin in the place to be.

The place to be

is my house an hour ago.

lf you want a D.J.,

stop smokin' that crack...

and drive your mother's

raggedy-ass Chevy over here!

Chill, man.

l'll jet over in one minute.

l don't like fooling

with you, man.

Come on now, Play!

All right!

l love you.

Kid, answer the door!

Answer the door.

l'll get the phone.

Yeah, what's up?

l sure was depending on

that overtime.

Give me that letter.

Are you retarded?

No, l wasn't talking to you.

Crazy mophead boy of mine.

Ready to cut his hair off.

Look like a young tree stump

walkin' around here.

What's old James up to?

Let me call you back later.

l got somethin' to take care of.

Can you explain this?

He called Mom out a name.

Don't you think

it's been long enough?

l am sick of you using

your mother for an excuse.

l wasn't using her as an excuse.

Then why didn't you tell me

when you got home?

Why you try to hide it?

l didn't think it was important.

No? Your school thought

it was important.

You'll spend tonight thinking

about your priorities...

after you finish

your damn homework.

You said

l could go to the party.

Them hoods you fought with

will be there...

and you don't need

no more trouble.

lt's not that type of crowd.

All my friends will be there.

l don't care if Marvin Gaye

will be there. You won't!

You don't know

how to act no way.

Last time, you didn't come in

till l went to work.

lf you let me go this time,

l'll be back before curfew.

lt'd be different

if Peter's parents were there.

l wouldn't mind you going.

But they ain't.

They work nights just like l do.

Matter of fact,

them folks is out of town.

You kids think you slick,

don't you?
