Who do you think you are? Hmm? You go to high school in Inglewood. To the admissions committee, your straight A's, they don't mean shit. If you're really serious about this exercise and you're not just wasting my time, or yours, then it's gonna be about your personal statement, your SAT scores, your recommendations... and most importantly your alumni interview tomorrow. - Are you ready? - I'm ready. You'd better be. I just found out you're interviewing with Austin Jacoby.
Um, Dom says... that he would like you to come over and talk to him.

Yo, man. I be seein' you and your little friends with y'all flattops and MC Hammer pants, riding around in this shit, looking like y'all came out of a DeLorean or some shit.

Everything from It Takes a Nation of Millions... to The Blueprint was killing it. I guess me and my friends just wish we grew up back then. It Takes a Nation came out in '88. Blueprint came out 2001. What the fuck are you talkin' 'bout right now?

You know, the '90s was like the golden age of hip-hop.

- Go! - Hey, little nigga. - Such is the life of a geek in The Bottoms. - Come here. A daily navigation between bad and worse choices. Come here, little nigga.

The only way to get home is down 104th Street. But that's where the dope dealers are... who, for sport, routinely try to steal their bikes.

Well, where do you want to go? Some nigga really needs to invent an app like Waze to avoid all these hood traps.

On this day, their usual route home is blocked by a Blood gathering. They were shooting a video for their YouTube channel.

Yo, yo, yo. It's cool. It's cool. Let 'em in. Look, I ca... I can't let you do that. These kids are underage and I cannot lose my license tonight. Not tonight. I don't mind having this discussion with you. I actually enjoy the thoughtful exchange of ideas. And you do bring up a valid point. Know what I'm sayin'? But see, you put me in a bit of a spot, nigga. 'Cause I can't have you back-talkin' me in front of my niggas... without at least fuckin' your ass up. You feel me? You don't have to do that. I kinda do though. I don't want to. It's my birthday and shit. But there's principles to this shit, and I'm a principled man. - They in, Dom. It's all good. - I know they got in. That's my point. But I got this nigga telling me what he can't let me do and shit. Like I give a fuck. Man, if I let this shit slide, we got what they call a slippery slope. You know what a slippery slope is, nigga? No. I don't... I don't know what a slippery... Anyone? Do it got anything to do with skiing? Nigga, sit your ass down, man. I know using your brain is a challenge and shit. You use skis on a slope... You might fuck around, give yourself a concussion. It's a small event that leads to a chain reaction of events... with unintended consequences... that were unforeseen at the time of the inciting event.

But, you know, the spirit of the music was definitely still '90s. I mean, It Takes a Nation, Straight Outta Compton... Paid in Full was ahead of their time. And then you got Snoop, Biggie, Wu-Tang. They took the game to the next level. Blueprint was kind of like the punctuation mark. Let's not forget, the '90s also gave us... Vanilla Ice, MC Hammer... and we can't forget about the Fresh Prince. Everything in the '90s wasn't great, but... Oh, shit. But you gotta admit "Summertime" was a classic.

What's your name, little nigga? Uh, it's Malcolm. Look here, Malcolm. I want you to do a favor for me. You see that green apartment there in the middle of the block?
