:09:01
This is a wonderful old venue,
we used to have some wonderful acts here.

:09:05
Laverne and Shirley came through here,
the Osmond brothers, Mack Davis.

:09:09
Now we have rappers.
So I've had to add a few extra...

:09:12
Iayers to the security system,
it's no problem.

:09:14
We start here with the brothers
from the Nation of lslam.

:09:17
They keep things under control.
These guys are very under-control people.

:09:21
Nothing rattles them. They keep things
on a calm, even-keel kind of level.

:09:26
And everything.
:09:28
And they'll drop your ass
like a bad bean pie if you fuck up, too.

:09:32
Friesch, we need a bigger room.
:09:34
Word, man. And another thing:
we don't have our hats, man.

:09:38
Hats? What do you mean?
Did you check the truck?

:09:42
-They ain't on the truck or here.
-We ain't going on stage without our gear.

:09:46
We got to have our performance gear.
:09:48
You know what?
I'm glad we don't have hats.

:09:51
You know what? It's always the same thing.
:09:54
We've got to mix things up more.
:09:55
Predictability... Can I go on record here?
:09:57
Predictability is
the stepson of ingenuity. Okay?

:10:01
-Yes?
-Hold up, man.

:10:02
We are N.W.H. That's Niggaz With Hats.
:10:06
If we don't have hats,
then we Niggaz Without Hats.

:10:09
That's a whole different group of niggas.
:10:11
I've got to part company
with you for a second, lce...

:10:14
because we are still N.W.H., okay?
:10:17
We're just growing. I got an idea.
We're growing as artists.

:10:20
You know? We're done with that.
:10:22
We did the regular hat thing.
Now we're stretching, we're moving on.

:10:26
And this is what we're going to try tonight.
:10:29
There it is. Look at this, you got a hat here.
:10:32
You put some riot headlines on the sides...
:10:34
you make your statement,
it's right there in black and white.

:10:38
We've got a trend thing happening there,
you see that?

:10:41
That's wack.
:10:43
Man, this ain't Romper Room, and I ain't
going out with page seven on my head.

:10:48
This ain't right. We need to have our hats.
Our performance hats.

:10:53
-Word.
-Yeah?

:10:54
And a bigger room.
:10:56
-Okay, is that setup right around the corner?
-Man, find the damn hats.
