Riley: This place is makin' me soft. Man, look at the rappers on B.E.T. - they got money, women, cars - but they're still so real. Look at that ice grill!! How can I be that hardcore when I'm so far from the streets? Huey: Just get a record deal that takes away all of your rights to your work and pays you a minuscule royalty. What' left after video expenses and sample clearances will be barely enough to pay your lawyer and eat lunch You'll be broke, hungry and frustrated. It'll be real easy to scowl after that... Riley: Maybe I'll just walk around with rocks in my shoes... Huey: If you wanna do it the punk way, go 'head.
