Oh. You're talking

about conscious rap.

But no one listens to it.

They don't play it on the radio.

And no one buys it.

So you're just gonna turn your

back on the whole culture?

Oh, with fantastic lyrics like

"I woke up in the morning and

the girls were still there."

"They were naked with

their asses in the air"

and, I don't know,

some canonical work

by Ifmao or

whatever their names are.

Professor, you and your ta,

Mr. Morris

are in a position to inspire

people to do better.

You have a platform and a voice.

I'm not turning

my back on hip-hop.

Hip-hop has already

turned its back on us.

I'm sorry, class is full.

None of this sounds like us.

That's the point. We're

supposed to make a hit.

But it don't sound like a hit.

Yo, man, reasons makes

better beats than this sh*t.

Thank you, man.

Matt, come on.

Seriously,

you guys, we don't have

that much time to

get this together.

We need to come hard, all right.

Like east coast style, son.

Coming hard is why we're still

recording in this dingy-ass basement.

Yo, whatever, man.

I mean, for real.

We are not gangstas.

We have never been to jail.

And we ain't got no guns.

Coco, I got guns.

Where?

That's it.

Let's drop that.

No, that's the sh*t

I'm talkin' about.

Let me know when you guys are done.

I'm takin' a nap.

Get that "I'll be sure" line

and all that.

Especially, get that one.

You good?

Yeah, yeah.

Watch your feet.

You know you're wrong.

Co, can you forget about shorty?

Let me get some.

You ain't gonna give me none?

Have one.

Why are you so worked up?

Hmm?

You wound up way too tight.

Feel good, right?

It feels okay.

You know it feels good.

Yeah, co, we gonna get it.

All right?

We gonna get it.

We gonna get it.

Guess who's blowin'

you up on Twitter.

Derek Morris at

Derekinspace writes,

"students, next time

you can't get your way

"don't go running to the teacher.

#freshmanfail."

That's not me.

Girl, you know it is.

What's his handle?

They can keep me out of class, but

they can't keep me off Twitter.

You gotta turn

everything into a battle?

Check this out.

That little hip-hop diva

is putting you on blast.

Let her in.

The iambic pentameter

is the most common way

of writing poetry.

Can you repeat that?

Iambic pentameter.

I want you to know this.

I want you to take her home,

ride her all night if you will.

But please,

do not marry the b*tch.

Well, this week's assignment

was for you to write something

that scares you.

Who's willing to share

what they've written?

Let's see. Coco Ford?

You only let me in class today.

I'm aware of that.

But you are responsible

for your assignments.
