VIDEO GIRL (2011)
I love what I do.
Do this every day if I could.
It is what it is.
I love the money.
The girls are hot.
I'm living a lifestyle.
This is what I do.
Some people work 9:00 to 5:00.
If that's what you want to do, you can do that.
I prefer getting my hair and makeup done,
and looking pretty in front of a camera all day.
This is what I do to make my money,
to pay for school.
I just want money and success.
I have a daughter,
so I'm trying to make a life for her.
You know, we're out here just getting our money,
and being beautiful.
And a lot of people have a certain perception
of video vixens, which is...
My name is Lorie Walker
and I'm 23 years old.
What are three words,
you would use to describe yourself?
Three words I'd use to describe myself...
Uh...
Adventurous
and...
...loving...
and...
...afraid.
Afraid.
Afraid of what?
The future.
Isn't everyone?
Lorie?
- Lorie? - Hmm?
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Are you sure?
You look like you don't want to be here.
- I'm... I'm here. - Good.
Okay, take these books over there
and put 'em on that shelf.
Okay, all right.
And, um... all these, too.
Okay.
Thank you.
All these, baby, please.
Thank you.
- And Lorie? - Huh?
Smile.
Mmm, yes.
Sweetie, that's crooked right there, okay?
How is it crooked?
Excuse me, do y'all sell bicycles?
You're such an idiot.
- What are you doing? - I know.
What's up, Lo?
Hey, don't... hey, don't.
What are you doing here?
I was in the area ballin' so I decided to come check on you.
Oh, my gosh.
How's your day going?
- It's going. - Going?
- Yeah. - That's cool.
Wait, wait, wait, come here.
You got a huge booger hanging out of your nose.
I do?
- I'm just messing with you. - Oh, my gosh.
Why are you wreaking havoc?
Excuse me.
This is not a social hour.
You can see your little boyfriend on your own time...
No, no, no, we're just friends.
Whatever you are.
Okay, on that note, I'm gonna take off.
But real quick, don't forget about my graduation dinner.
- I'll be there, I'll be there. - Okay.
- Lo, don't play me. - I won't forget.
Don't forget, call me.
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you, too.
He's a cutie.
You know, all of that is crooked.
You need to start again, okay?
Okay, what...
# Yeah #
I just bought some new ice on my wrist
# Yeah #
I just bought me a brand-new fit
# Yeah #
I just buy some new shoes on a whim
# Yeah #
I got money I can buy me a okay
# That's what you do when your money right #
# That's what you do when your money right ##
Damn, what's up, shorty?
Can't hear?
Let a nigga get a number or something.
Are you deaf?
Let a nigga get your number, man.
Look like you need a bone.
See what I mean?
See what's in my mouth?
Fuck you, then.
You ain't all that anyway, stupid bitch.
What?!
Oh, my God.
- Whose car is this? - It's mine.
C.K. Just bought it for me.
Navigation, leather seats, everything.
He did not hold back nothing.
And I know Nana don't like him,
but you see how he does by me,
you see he does good by me, you know?
Tell Nana yet?
Nope.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Lorie, you can't stay in this slump forever.
You've got to move on.
Stacy, I'm gonna talk to you later.
All right.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Get out.
Go.
Come on, now, before she come over here.
I don't have time for her.
Whose car is that?
I don't know, Nana, you gotta ask her.
Your sister needs to wake up and smell life.

All right, cool, well, just tell him
I'll see him in the streets then, nigga.
- Who is that? - Punk-ass nigga.
- Yo, calm down. - That was Melvin.
No, this nigga Melvin playing with my money, man.
Okay, first of all, calm down...
I don't know who he think I am, man, I ain't no ho.
Just sit down, damn.
This is my city, man, I don't know who these niggas

Okay, so stop letting these niggas get you fucked up.
Why are you over here with an attitude...
Nigga playing with me and my money.
So fuck these niggas.
When you see 'em on the streets,
you gonna take care of 'em... that's what it is.
- Oh, I'm gonna see this nigga. - I know you gonna see him.
But right now you seeing me.
And you just bought me a new Mercedes and I love it.
- Man, here we go. - What?
I love it.
Mm-hmm.
How was your day?
It was fine.
My day was stressful.
Two of my students got into a big fight
and I had to file a police report.
Have you made a decision?
I decided that I'm not gonna go back next semester.
That wasn't...
exactly an option.
I know.
We decided school was a priority,
regardless of what happened.
# Silent screams #
# Shattered dreams and teardrops #
# All there is are memories #
# Dancing #
# Oh #
# What do I do now? #
# Oh #
# What about my dream? #
# Is there any hope for me? #
# Who or what can set me free? #
# Free ##
Lorie: God.
I had to get out of there.
Mm-hmm.
You see why I dipped out.
Hi, C.K.
Okay, well, I'm doing good, too.
He had a long day.
Lorie?
- Chloe, oh, my God! - Hi!
How are you?
I was literally just thinking about you the other day.
- Really? - Yeah.
Wow, you look exactly the same.
Thank you, so do you.
Are you still dancing?
No, I did some music videos for a while,
but I'm acting now.
Well, what are you doing back here?
My boyfriend's here shooting a music video.
Baby, this is my friend Lorie.
We went to high school together.
- How you doing, Lorie? - Nice to meet you.
Oh, and this is Shark.
He's directing the video I told you about.
How are you?
- Nice to meet you. - Pleasure.
I got us shots!
I'm okay.
You don't drink?
- Are you sure? - I'm sure.
Ahh!
You know what?
I think I'm gonna have one.
- Yeah, you sure? - Yeah.
To new beginnings.
You all right?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Where you going?
Yo, E!
- I'm gonna call you back. - E!
Where Melvin at, nigga?
I think I'm gonna go back by my sister.
Okay, it's good to see you again.
You too.
It was nice meeting you guys.
- Say bye. - Nice to meet you.
You tell your brother I'm out here.
- So this is how it is? - Oh, it's been like that.
Partner.
Hey.
Who are we looking at?
Stacy: I don't think I've seen you have this much fun
in a long time.
That's because I haven't.
Hey, I didn't know you were here.
- Hi, Chloe. - How you doing?
Long time no see.
Yeah, you still peeling out fast, girl?
Sometimes.
Hey, what are you doing tomorrow?
My gosh, I don't even know.
You should come to the video shoot.
Why?
Because Shark thinks you're cute
- and asked me to invite you. - No, no thanks.
Why not?
Because I...
Stace, this music video director that I just met
wants me to come down to a video shoot tomorrow.
Well, is he cute?
Actually, he's super-hot.
Okay, so where is he?
Right there.
Oh, my God.
- Yes, he is fine. - What do you think?
You should come, it's gonna be fun.
I... I don't want to go.
- Shit, I do. - She does.
I've never been to a music video before.
We are definitely coming.
Okay, well, Stacy, he didn't invite you.
He invited you, so he invited me, okay.
Put your number in my phone,
I'll call you tomorrow and give you all the information,
and then... you guys decide.
- It's gonna be fun. - We're probably not gonna come.
And we are definitely gonna be there.
Okay, come.
- See you tomorrow. - Stacy: We'll be there.
- You're the worst. - We'll be there.
You're the worst.
Have some fun... dang.
Good morning.
Your dean called to check on you.
Oh, that's nice of him.
He also wanted to know
if he can expect you back in the fall.
He said he needed to know ASAP before summer's over.
You already know the answer to that, Nana.
Okay.
- Stace, I feel crazy. - No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm uncomfortable.
Can we just find Chloe and the director guy first,
before you say you're uncomfortable?
Please.
Um...
Oh, excuse me.
Ladies, you're late... over there.
How you doing, baby?
You all right?
What's your name?
Oh, uh-uh, no.
Oh, hell no.
Excuse me!
- Excuse me! - What happened?
What the hell?
Sorry, yeah, no.
We're not here to be in the video,
we're actually here to hang out with the director,
'cause he invited us, so we're not in all that.
Oh, like every other girl, honey, okay?
- Yeah, copy that. - Excuse me?
Can you please tell the director that Lorie Walker
is here to see him?
After you guys get dressed
we need all of our girls set-ready in ten minutes.
Okay!
I don't think you're hearing me correctly.
I said, we're not here to shake our asses.
We're here to see what the director...
He invited us.
So first of all, if you can't hear me correctly,
- I can help you out with that. - Stace, Stace, Stace...
So if you got a problem,
yeah, you can keep it moving, keep it moving.
No, this shit gets on my nerve.
Every time somebody get a little authority,
- I wanna feel my... - Okay, okay, Stacy.
Stop looking over here, stupid.
But you're making a scene.
- I don't care, I don't care. - Okay, let's just go.
No, I don't wanna go, I'm just saying...
He's right there, he's right there.
All I'm saying, can you see my point of view?
- Who? - Ladies.
Hi.
- I'm glad you came. - Me too.
This is Stacy.
Hi, thank you for having us.
Of course, of course.
- Uh, Shark? - Yeah, bud?
I got three redbones ready to get
- butt-ass naked right now. - Put 'em over there.
Put 'em in the pool.
Oh, how y'all doing?
- Good. - Fine.
Put 'em in the pool.
Good.
Are you ready?
Ready for what?
To be on camera.
Oh, no.
I... I hadn't planned on getting on camera.
Well, why not?
- Hmm? - Go on.
Because, I mean, it's...
It's not really my thing and I don't have any clothes
and it's just...
- You don't need any clothes. - What?
No, no.
No, I didn't mean it that way.
I mean, we have plenty of clothes for all of our
featured models here, okay?
Okay, well, I'm not a model, so...
Follow me to wardrobe.
- Come on. - Stacy, what's going on?
Just wait 'til you see your sister.
She looks incredible.
Okay, but do you got her looking like
the rest of these girls, 'cause...
No, no, no, no, no, of course not.
So you trying to get with my sister?
Still trying to figure that one out.
Well, let me just say something.
Thank you.
I'm her sister.
And I'm crazy.
Understood.
Good.
Oh, my gosh!
Look at you, you look so pretty, sister.
Oh, my gosh.
I love it.
- I feel so uncomfortable. - You shouldn't.
Man: Shark, we're ready for you on set.
All right, guys, let's get to set.
Come on.
These heels are so high I can barely walk.
What are you gonna do?
Who was that new bitch walking with Shark?
Never seen her before.
She's probably just fucking him
to get a part in the video.
Like you did?
Lorie, these are my girls, Jessica, Taye and Bubbles.
They're the girls I'm moving to LA with.
- Hi. - Lip gloss.
Oh, yeah, of course.
Nice to meet y'all.
So, you do videos, too?
Oh, well, this is my first one.
So you trying to get in the game?
Not exactly, I...
It's kind of just... I don't know.
Like the experience.
Oh, yeah, she was invited personally,
by the director.
And you just came along?
And you cannot ask me a question.
Cute.
All right, ciao.
Bye, girls.
They really wanna get slapped.
I say I got a cutie
Yeah a big booty Judy
With a slim waist and a mean attitude-y
I say I got a cutie
A big booty Judy
Sending me dirty texts
Talking about what she wanna do to me
I say I got a cutie

Independent woman super clean no foolin'
I say I got a cutie

She got a nigga fiendin' for that good tutti frutti
Shark: Nice.
Love it, love it.
All right, cut.
Lorie.
I need you right here by Max.
You good?
- Yeah. - All right.
Just... just relax, all right?
Camera's your friend.
Camera's gonna love you, all right.
- Max, you're... - Sorry.
What am I supposed to do?
Just look into the camera, be pretty,
be you... and be relaxed.
Great.
Action!
Where did you find her?
I just met her last night.
You hit that?
No, I don't think she's like that.
They're all like that, all right.
She's like that, she's like that.
And I know she like that.
- She's gorgeous. - I love her.
Lookin' pretty like a flower
Good nookie power
Beat for a hour
Go jump in the shower
Ass gettin' fat
That ass in the back
I be like, ooh, you don't do a nigga like that
I got a cutie
Yeah a big booty Judy
With a slim waist and a mean attitude-y
And cut!
That's a wrap, guys.
Whoo!
- Great job. - Good shit, Shark.
Yeah, my pleasure.
I'm gonna holler at you by the trailer, all right.
- You killed it, Lorie. - Thank you.
- You were great. - Thank you.
You sure that this was your first video?
Yeah.
Yeah, I've never done anything like this before.
I don't know what you're doing later,
but a few of us are going out to dinner
and I'd love it if you joined me.
Lorie, girl, did you know you're getting paid for this?
- I'm getting paid for this? - Yes.
Of course you are.
So, okay, let me ask you this.
Is this video gonna be, like, on BET and MTV and everything?
Of course it is.
I only direct the best.
Ooh!
Girl, you about to blow up.
So I was just asking Lorie if the two of you
would like to join me for dinner tonight.
I can't.
I have to go to work early in the morning.
I won't have you out too late.
She's going.
I can't go, but she can go.
Stacy, you're my ride.
I'll get you home nice and safe.
See, he'll get you home nice and safe.
Not a problem.
- What's the deal? - Can I...
I'm gonna borrow my sister just for a second.
Stacy, what are you doing?
Would you stop being such a tight ass and go with him?
I don't know him like that.
Okay, well, when's the next time a Hollywood director
is gonna ask your stanky butt to go to dinner?
Hmm?
It's not like you have to sleep with him.
I'm not gonna sleep with him.
Okay, so then loosen up.
- Fine, fine, fine. - Fine, go.
Um, I have to be home early.
Fine, we'll be out of here in 20 minutes.
And just to let you know,
if anything happens to my sister...
No, nothing is gonna happen to your sister.
I promise you I will get her home safe and sound.
Thank you.
You're going to dinner.
Order anything you want.
Yeah.
Everything just looks so expensive.
Man: How can I help you?
We're gonna have a bottle of Château Margaux.
Nice.
So, Lorie, tell me about yourself.
Well, what do you want to know?
Everything.
Actually, Lorie was, like, the best ballet dancer.
No.
Really?
I wouldn't say the best.
Do you still dance?
No.
Why not?
Um, because I got in a car accident
and shattered my knee.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Oh, don't be sorry, it's okay.
You're different.
I'm different?
Don't worry about it, it's a good thing.
Okay.
You're hilarious.
Well... I'm a lot of things.
Do you have a boyfriend?
Um...
I haven't had one of those in a really long time.
And why is that?
Because I haven't found anybody
worth the label, I guess.
So what about you?
What are you about, since you get to ask me 20 questions?
Well...
I'm about a lot of things.
Chloe: Not something I wanna think about.
Lorie: Thank you.
Oh, my God.
- It was so good to see you. - You too.
- We have to keep in touch. - We do.
What?!
Stop, I'm trying to tell her bye.
If you find yourself in LA, hit me up, okay?
Okay.
Baby, will you stop it?
I...
enjoyed you tonight.
I had fun, too.
So you going back to LA tomorrow?
Yeah.
Gotta get back.
Always working.
Well, it was nice to meet you
and have a nice life.
What?
Why you gotta say it like that?
I don't know, I just...
I think I have an idea about you Hollywood directors.
- Really? - Yeah.
Different cities, nice restaurants,
different girls.
The fast life.
The fast life, huh?
Yeah.
Sounds nice.
Good night, Lorie Walker.
Have a nice life.
Chloe: Bye!
I do it, I do it
I ball
I'm talking big shots
Letting the Patrón flow it's on like Ziploc
Never had it bad like my shit tip-top
Presidential head presidential wristwatch
Celebrate and then I catch my birthday
Then we sip champagne on the first day
Gotta represent...
man: Y'all be good, y'all be good.
All right?
Jason, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Jason.
I'm really sorry.
It's all good, Lo, forget about it.
I totally forgot.
I honestly feel really, really bad.
Yeah, you should.
Well, can I at least explain, please?
What?
Lorie: Gosh, it was crazy.
That's hilarious, wow.
- What's hilarious? - You.
Man, you... I'm just trying to picture you all
"hoochiefied" up in a music video,
dancing in front of a rapper with a little skirt on.
First of all, it was very tastefully done.
All right, if you say so.
Second of all, I wouldn't have even done it
if Stacy hadn't encouraged me, so...
I mean, were you nervous, like...
- At first. - A little bit?
But, y'know, it's kind of like being on stage a little bit.
Please.
Don't tell me this gonna be your new career now.
Uh, no.
All right.
- It was a one-time thing. - Okay.
So forgive me?
Ehh...
I forgive you.
But... when I go to the NBA,
I need you to be there for me, Lo, seriously.
- All right? - Okay.
- I'm gonna be there. - Seriously.
- I'm serious. - You promise?
Promise.
All right, don't let me down again.
- All right? - I won't.
- Oh, shit, I gotta go. - What?
- I'm gonna be late for work. - Okay.
- All right.
- I'll see you later. - Okay, bye, Lo.
I gotta make my way to the bar and get me a drink
It's poppin' off it's poppin' off
He poppin' off she poppin' off
I'm poppin' off we poppin' off
It's poppin' off it's poppin' off
He poppin' off she poppin' off
I'm poppin' off we poppin' off
It's poppin' off...
This came for you today.
I... I...
I just made $800.
That pussy looking right
Here in Sin City
That ass is off the chain...
Lorie, this is not a social hour.
Okay.
Whoa, whoa wee
Baby
I say I got a cutie
Yeah a big booty Judy
Oh, shit, Lorie!
Lauren, come here, Lorie's on TV!
...a big booty Judy
Sending me dirty texts
Talking about what she wanna do to me...
I say I got a cutie
Yeah a big booty Judy
Hoo!
That is my joint right there, boy.
Man: Ooh, I love it, man.
Got that crazy...
Who is that?
Big P that I could frame like a fighter
Stretch marks on that ass looking like a tiger...
Ooh, ooh, is that Lorie Walker?
Can I get your autograph, girl?
You are so crazy.
I know, but I'm so proud of you.
Aww.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
- Sister, guess what? - What?
Shark invited me to Los Angeles.
He wants me to be in his next music video.
- Are you serious? - Yes.
Oh, my God!
- Oh, my... - I don't know.
Do you think I should do it?
Hell yeah, you should do it.
Girl, are you crazy?
Yeah, but what about...
I don't know what I'm gonna do about my job.
Screw this job.
You just made $800 in one day's worth of work.
Think about it.
Yeah, but what am I gonna tell Nana?
- Lorie. - What?
You can't let Nana run your life forever.
You gotta stop being so scary, man.
Stacy, I...
Okay, listen, just let me ask you something.
One simple question.
Deep down inside... do you wanna go?
- Yes. - What?
Yes!
Then get to packing!
You're going to California!
I'm going to California.
Excuse me?
I'm going to California.
For what?
To be in a music video.
Have you lost your damn mind?
Ms. Lorie Walker?
Yeah, that's...
I'm... I'm Lorie Walker.
Welcome to Los Angeles.
Let me grab those bags for you.
Thank you.
- Thanks. - You're welcome.
Lorie: Stace.
I feel like I'm in a fairy tale.
Stacy: California's pretty, huh?
Oh, my gosh, it's so beautiful.
I cannot believe this.
Make sure you take a picture of the Hollywood sign for me.
I know, I know.
You know I got you.
Thanks.
Oh, my God.
Shark: Welcome to La-La Land, Lorie.
Happy you made it out to be in my next video.
Tonight I'm gonna take you out to dinner
and on the bed, I got you a little something.
I hope you like it.
See you soon, Shark.
Wow.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my gosh.
How's Mr. Shark?
He's a gentleman, he's...
He's taking me to dinner tonight.
I wish I was there right now.
Me too.
I miss you, sis.
I miss you, too.
And remember, if you need anything, just call me.
I will.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Lorie: So...
you're from LA.
Shark: Born and raised.
Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely grateful
for where I am.
Life's all about your greater goal.
I don't know if I'll ever be content, you know?
What are some of your goals,
since school is not an option?
This is gonna sound horrible.
I didn't go to school for an education.
I went to dance.
There's nothing wrong with that
if dance is your passion.
It was.
Ballet was my everything.
Was my ticket.
You don't need ballet for that.
Just be patient with yourself.
You'll figure it out.
Well, thank you for dinner.
I haven't had a dinner like that before.
My pleasure, I was...
I was trying to impress you.
This is gonna be very interesting.
Why?
I haven't felt this way with someone in a long time.
So you know I got a car picking you up
at 6:00 a. m. In the morning tomorrow.
Yep, I'll be waiting.
Good night, Ms. Lorie Walker.
Shark: Yo, yo.
- What up, boss? - Chillin', man, chillin', man.
Good to see you, thanks for coming onboard, man.
No problem, man.
- For sure. - You ready to make some magic?
Man, I'm ready to make some magic, but check this out.
First, I gotta see this lead girl, man.
I heard how bad she is, man, for real, I gotta see her.
You'll see.
Hello, I'm Gomez, I'll be doing your hair.
Hi, and I'm Jenna, I'll be doing your makeup.
So I hear you're gonna be playing our lead.
Yeah.
Have you always worn your hair like this?
Yes.
What would you think if I gave you a little extra mane?
Extra mane?
Yeah, I'm gonna give you a lace front.
Yep, that's what I'm gonna do.
All the divas wear 'em.
Let me show you our first set-up.
All right.
All right, the first set-up's gonna be right here.
You're gonna be sitting down on the bed,
you got your lovely lady right next to you.
The only thing is,
you can see her but she cannot see you
and you are fucking pissed about it.
You just want to touch her but you can't get to her.
All right, that's what's up, I like that.
- You like that? - I like that, yeah.
- All right, good. - Cool.
Your hair grew.
No.
You look amazing.
Bobby V, this is our leading lady.
Ms. Lorie Walker.
How you doing?
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
Yeah.
Wow.
Wow... wow.
All right, enough with the "wows. "
Listen, Lorie, you're gonna be in the same spot
that we discussed earlier, all right?
Okay.
Hey, yo, does she got a man?
Yeah, yeah, she's got a man.
Don't worry about it.
Come on, let's get to work.
Everybody, come on.
# Yeah #
And action!
# Do you wanna love me do you wanna love me? #
# I done been around the world and back again #
# And I'm #

Yo, Shark, what's up, man?
Man, yo, congratulations on the Grammy, brother.
What's up, bro?
Thank you, sir, thank you.
Yo, not to bring up business or anything,
but who's directing your next video?
Man, I don't even know.
Me and the label ain't even decide yet.
Definitely gonna do something different
this time around, though.
You know I'm all about different.
Keep you in the mix, baby.
- Good to know. - You know what it is.
Who's this pretty lady?
That's my secret.
Secret?
Take care of this guy right here, all right?
How many times you gonna ask me about the damn hot sauce?
'Cause there's never extra hot sauce...
It's always extra hot sauce, you just always eat it all.
- Just get extra hot sauce. - I'm getting extra hot sauce!
Ain't this a bitch... Yo, Melvin!
Yeah, you can't hide forever, nigga.
I'm not hiding from you, man.
You'll get your money when I got it.
Hold on, man, I need my paper, homeboy.
Yo, don't be talking to me like that, partner.
Oh, you tough?
Bitch-ass nigga.
Get off of him!
Get off him!
Motherfucker!
- You want some of that? - Get off him!
Get off him, no!
Somebody call 9-1-1!
No...
Come on!
Wake up, baby, please.
No, man, no...
Morning.
Good morning.
I was thinking.
This whole thing... it's perfect.
Look, I know this is gonna sound kinda crazy...
...but I really think you should stay.
I'm serious.
I mean, what do you really have to go back home to?
My life.
My job.
I thought you said you wanted to start over.
I can't just live here.
Where would I stay?
With me.
At least until you get back on your feet.
My phone's ringing.
Be right back.
Nana.
I'm sorry.
At least you know she's going to heaven.
Here you go, darling.
Ms. Valerie, do you need any help with anything?
Oh, no thank you, Jason, I'm fine.
All right.
Excuse me, Ms. Valerie.
Someone's here to see you.
How dare you show your filthy self in my house?
Dang... stinkin' piece of shit!
You murdered my baby!
And your ass is not in jail!
Ms. Valerie, Ms. Valerie, it's okay, it's okay.
- How dare you, how dare you? - Ms. Valerie, it's okay.
He ain't worth it, he ain't worth it.
- He ain't worth it. - How dare you?
Get out of my house!
He ain't worth it, he ain't worth it.
- Get out of my house! - He ain't worth it.
It's okay, it's okay.
He killed my Stacy!
It's okay, it's okay.
I kept telling your damn sister
to leave that boy alone.
She just had to rebel against anything I told her.
And she's turning out to be just like her mother.
Now you running in that same path.
You okay?
I heard you from my room.
Oh, my gosh, Stacy.
I just had a dream that you were killed.
Oh, my gosh, sister.
That was so scary.
Don't be scared.
I'm not.
Now that you're here.
Don't worry about me.
Trust me, I'm gonna be all right.
But your life is your life.
Yeah, you gotta focus on you.
I know, I know, I know.
Come on now, you know you got a lot of stuff
going for you right now.
I never thought I would be here, you know, it's...
I know.
I know, but you gotta make good decisions.
Yeah, yeah, I know, I know.
I see you're smoking now, huh?
- Yeah. - Mm-hmm.
You said you'd never smoke.
Well... I've done a lot of things
I said I wouldn't do since I've been here.
I love you.
I love you, too.
And you know if you need anything, I'm always here.
All right?
Oh.
And Mom says hi.
- You know what I want? - Yeah.
I wanna put you in my next video.
Yeah?!
- Yeah. - Oh.
- Let's make it happen. - Okay, thanks.
What's up, this is Lorie Walker
and I'm the hottest,
highest-paid chick in the game.
Yeah, so I was doing her makeup, like, in person,
I mean, she looked like shit.
- It's like potholes. - Really?
I mean, huge, you know, huge craters.
- Oh, my God. - Like the moon.
Like, really.
How much longer, Gomez?
I need just five more minutes.
We gotta be camera-ready in ten minutes.
How you doing, baby?
Good?
- Lovely. - Good, good.
Yeah, man.
All right, skaters, I'm gonna give you all
a different action, all right?
Go big or go home.
Look nigga I'm hot
And I ain't take my medicine
Ain't gonna stop walkin' on
I'm higher than I ever been
Every girl I'm dealing with is asking for a wedding ring
Because I tell 'em anything
Never am I settlin'
Uh yeah I'm in this bitch
And I ain't going wrong with the beat around
And I ain't no punk
Don't be surprised when I beat you down
They say I'm arrogant
I say I am confident
Now who they got a problem with?
Boy I don't need to trip it's okay...
All right, let's get it, peoples.
Angie Martinez sitting here with video "it" girl,
Lorie Walker in the building.
- Hi. - Hi.
I don't know why I feel like you're everywhere,
I feel like I can't see a video and you're not in it.
You know, I've been working pretty consistently,
so I've, you know, kind of had a...
I don't know, been around in a way where people
are able to see me often.
Be careful when you say "been around,"
because, you know, there are some stereotypes.
You know, everybody's different
and, y'know, there are people who do what they do
and for me, personally,
I, y'know, I don't do a lot of stuff
except for just come to work and do my job, so...
So why do you do it?
# I'll settle down #
# Some other day #
# So long #
# I'll never be coming home... ##
Shark: Good morning, baby.
Everything all right?
Thank you for being a part of my life.
There's nobody I'd rather have sitting in that seat than you.
# When the sun is burned out #
# And there is no one else around #
Lorie!
# And there's a hole #
# That only you can fill #
# Like a trip that won't end #
Oh, my Lord.
# This dark depressing thought of another night ##
So how are you and Shark doing?
Just fine.
Well, you've been out here for, like, six months
and you haven't worked with anybody but him.
Yeah, well, that's because he doesn't want me
to work with anybody else.
Because he owns you.
He doesn't own me, Chloe.
He just... he just wants to make sure I don't get caught up.
Look, you should be out networking
and meeting other directors.
Yeah, but why should I meet people
if I'm working on all of his gigs?
Because you can't put all of your eggs in one basket.
What if he gets tired of using you?
Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about,
but it's your career.
You gotta be able to take care of yourself.
Don't depend on a man.
I know.
Lorie: Y'know, I've done a lot of different things, you know,
and a lot of different videos,
but now it's like I'm looking to take my career
to the next level, you know?
Well, you have an agent?
Not yet, but...
Look, you're a beautiful woman, all right...
Thank you.
- But you gotta get out of these videos, you know?
- Start... start acting. - Yeah, I want to.
I mean, that's kind of...
Look, I'm gonna give you my card.
Give me a call, I can give you all kinds of referrals.
Okay.
Hey, what's up there, birthday boy?
What's up?
What are you guys talking about?
You know, just talking to Lorie about getting an agent,
getting herself out there, getting her some more work.
She doesn't need any more work.
I keep her busy enough.
Isn't that right, baby?
Hey, I really want to talk to you about this film, okay?
One a picture production company
might take on a script.
I think it might be amazing.
Okay.
Ooh, let me see.
- Wow, those jeans look hot. - Yeah?
Yeah, they make your butt look good.
Thanks.
Do you think I should get a butt job?
No, you should not do that fake shit.
Why?
It could be a little bigger.
No, your butt is perfect.
Yeah, but it's natural and boring.
No, it's not boring.
It's better to be natural.
Lorie, we can't all have perfect little bodies like you.
My body's not perfect.
It's that I'm working what I have.
And what I have is these jeans
that I'm going to wear outside of the store.
And tonight, maybe.
- Yeah, they look good. - Yeah.
I like your shoes, too.
Well, I need to get shoes to go with it.
Excuse me, excuse me, girls, girls, hi.
How you doing?
I don't mean to bother you, I...
This is weird.
I was inside and I was just looking at some
candles, whatever, and I was with a friend,
and I just had to stop you,
I couldn't take my eyes off you.
You're very... you're very nice-looking.
- Thank you. - I'm sorry.
I don't mean to embarrass you.
But we have a bet.
I mean, you have to be an actress, model,
singer, dancer?
- Maybe. - Maybe?
She is.
- We both are, actually. - Chloe.
That's no surprise.
Well, I'm a film producer,
and I'm sorry, I don't mean to take your time,
but I'm doing a film
and I would be honored if you would come and meet with us,
read for us.
If you're interested,
it's a fabulous new indie we're working on.
- Really? - Yeah.
Okay, yeah, yeah.
I'll definitely give you a call.
- Would you? Good. - I would.
Jermaine.
- Lorie. - Lorie.
- Lorie Walker. - Lorie.
You can call me too with...
She's got my card.
Okay, cool.
Where you going?
Um... out with the girls for some drinks.
You know you gotta wake up
early in the morning for your shoot.
I know, Shark.
I'm a big girl.
What's wrong with you?
Nothing's wrong with me.
I just want to go out with the girls for some drinks.
Girls' night.
Who you going out with?
Chloe and some of her friends.
Oh.
Going out with the groupies, huh?
We're just going out to network.
Is that what they call it?
Network?
Oh, my God, whatever.
Look, you know as well as I know
that all Chloe wants to go out for is to fuck a celebrity.
Okay, but I'm not going for that reason.
Look, baby.
All I'm trying to do is protect you, okay?
I appreciate that.
I would appreciate it more if you would just
let me do these sometimes.
I just want to go out and make my own connections.
You don't need to make your own connections.
Okay, but I want my own connections.
Don't you walk away from me when I'm talking to you!
What are you doing?
I got they dome tapped
They what?
They dome tapped
I got they dome tapped
They what?
They dome tapped
I got they dome tapped
Hey, bitch.
Air kisses, air kisses.
Oh, my God, this club is full of lames!
I can't even stand it.
Kill me now.
Ugh.
What are we doing after?
Oh, I gotta go home.
I have my Golden shoot in the morning.
I'm doing that video.
Shark's directing that, right?
Yeah.
Well, B. Gunz is having an afterparty,
so... what's up?
- Ooh. - Uh...
I'm down.
- You wanna go? - No.
- Come on. - You're totally coming.
- I have to... - Okay, you're coming.
And I'm gonna go to the bathroom,
and I think you guys should join me.
I think we should, too.
Grab your purse.
I don't have to go to the bathroom.
Oh!
Lorie, you don't have to do it if you don't want to.
What does it feel like?
It's like three cups of coffee.
It's like...
it's like a lot of sugar, you know?
Just hyper.
Trust me, if you don't like it,
it'll be gone in 20 minutes.
Promise.
Close... close that nostril and just sniff real hard.
Breathe in.
Perfect.
- Party girl. - Nicely done.
Give me another one before somebody comes in.
We're good.
- Here, enjoy. - Oh, my God.
Party.
I can't believe I'm doing this.
Ugh, ahh...
Oh, my gosh, you guys, I needed this.
Oh, no problem.
All right.
I hope Max isn't there, I hate that dude.
Loser.
Let's not talk about guys at all tonight.
Yeah, what's up with you and Shark anyways?
That guy sucks.
- He does, he sucks. - I've known him forever.
Did you guys used to date or something?
Hell no.
I been in this industry a really long time,
I've seen him go through a lot of girls.
Thank you.
You know, he usually picks the fragile ones,
you know, he'd build up their confidence a little bit,
treat them like a queen, and then he thinks he owns them.
Sound familiar?
Uh, see, I told you.
That's why you need to be making your own connections.
Exactly.
- One more before we go? - Let me get another one.
Enough with the Shark garbage.
Let's go party.
- Check. - Oh, my gosh.
- Let's. - Check.
You have a little bit.
Okay, let me just stop at the bar and get a drink
and then we're gonna go find some more blow, all right?
- Yes. - All right!
Excuse us.
We need some more drinks.
Champagne first.
Lorie: Oh, I wanted to try...
- I've been looking for you. - Excuse me?
Remember me?
I met you a while back with Shark.
Oh, yeah, I remember.
I reached out to Shark about getting you in my video,
but he told me I couldn't use you unless he was directing.
Oh, okay.
Okay, well, call me.
Hold on, hold on, baby.
Run that by me again.
So what you getting into tonight?
I'll be here.
- You'll be here? - Yeah.
All right, be good, all right?
Oh, my gosh.
I'm so fucking high.
Okay, look, I see a really cute guy over there.
I know, I'm so...
Oh, my God, I need a drink.
- My phone's ringing. - Already?
You just gave him your number.
Shit, Shark.
Thank you.
It's hitting your throat.
Yes...
Thank you, guys.
- Hey, party girl. - Hey.
You coming out with us tonight?
I'm gonna text you.
Bye, Shark!
What time did you get home last night?
About 2:00 in the morning.
Lorie: Are you serious?
Okay, that'll work, that'll work.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Question, can you guys meet my quote?
Yeah, that's perfect.
Oh, that's gonna be fine.
Okay, sounds good.
I look forward.
Bye.
Who was that?
Um, it was Brainchild's people.
He wants me to be in his next video.
You didn't ask for my permission.
I didn't think I needed your permission.
No?
You work for me, don't you?
Yeah, but, babe, it's nothing personal.
I just kinda, you know, wanna branch off
and do my own thing sometimes.
Lorie, I got you into this business, didn't I?
Yeah.
And that's why you should be happy for me.
Baby, just because I'm working with other people
doesn't really mean like that should change anything.
Well, it does.
All right, now... now you're available,
okay, just like every other little girl out there
trying to get a job.
That's you.
Okay, fine.
- I'm gonna get ready to go. - Really?
Have fun.
Woman: Welcome to the Aurora Borton Show.
In the house, we have Video Vixen of the Year,
we have Ms. Lorie Walker.
- Welcome. - Lorie: Thank you.
I've been trying to get you for a long time.
You've been really, really busy these days.
What you got going on?
Oh, my gosh, I have a bunch of stuff going on.
I have another video next week,
I've done actually three covers this month
and I'm getting into the acting world
a little bit, too, so it's very exciting.
Any nude work coming up?
Uh, no.
- Not yet? - No, just no.
Okay, all right.
You're looking really beautiful.
To my male listeners and my ladies,
she's looking hot.
Thank you.
So, with that being said, are you dating anybody?
Um, I do have a boyfriend, yes.
And is he this video director
we hear you've been spotted around town with?
Um, my boyfriend is my business, so...
You can keep it real.
I mean, come on, that's what we do here.
I am keeping it real now.
All right, now, tell me about this boyfriend,
this video director that got you in the business.
I hear you're his main girl and you really can't work for
anybody else, is that true?
I don't think I wanna comment on that.
Okay.
Well, why don't you comment on what people
think about the term "video ho,"
and when it's thrown in your direction,
how do you feel about that?
Actually, that term hasn't been thrown at me,
but the term, I think,
is obviously derogatory and disrespectful
and I think that there are definitely girls
who do their thing... I'm not one of them.
That's a great answer.
But at the end of the day,
you are sleeping with your boyfriend
who is a video director.
So thank you very much, Lorie Walker,
for doing our show.
We appreciate you, so anytime you have time
to come back through, we'd love to have you.
Thank you.
Lorie: Hello?
Where are you?
I just left the photo shoot.
Where you going now?
I'm going to meet up with Chloe to get our nails done.
You know she's got a horrible reputation, right?
Yeah, but just because she has a bad reputation
doesn't make her a bad person.
Yeah, well, people talk about it.
You don't want people to start
talking about you, now, do you?
Shark, I don't care.
Well, you ought to care!
Let's go, am I good?
Now, has anybody seen Lorie?
Jason: Hey, what's up, Lorie, it's Jason.
Just letting you know I will be in LA this weekend,
I got a tryout for the Clippers.
So say a prayer for me.
But, no, it'll be real good to hear from you.
Like I said, I'll be in town all weekend.
I hope you're doing well,
I been seeing you all over the TV and...
Hey, Lorie, it's Jason,
this is like my sixth time calling you now.
Pick up, pick up, call me!
You forgetting about your friends now?
What's going on?
I got some really good news, I really need you to call me.
Anybody?
Lorie: Coming, Shark, chill the fuck out.
Could you please take your position?
Can you wait a fucking minute?
I'm tired.
Man: What's wrong with your girl, man?
Shark: Today.
- Please. - I'm fucking going.
I'm coming.
Where am I supposed to stand?
You know where to stand.
I know where to stand.
Can you show me, please?
I gotta hold your hand for everything now?
- Right there. - Fine.
Man: You gonna do this or what?
Oh, my gosh.
I can't believe this, this is so weird.
I mean, we're both really living out our dreams.
Yeah.
No, we definitely blessed.
I checked on your grandmother the other day.
Oh, yeah?
How's she doing?
She's holding up.
I think she's in denial about your sister, but...
I don't know if I ever told you this, but, like,
I consider your grandmother
to be like my grandmother, you know?
And she's already lost two of her girls,
like, I feel like I...
I talk to Stacy all the time, so,
you know, I talk to her in my dreams.
Lo... I'm gonna ask you something
and I want you to be honest with me, all right?
Are you happy?
For real.
Very.
Very happy.
Honestly, who would have thought I'd be living,
you know, my life this way?
It's just...
Well, I'm very happy for you
and you know you got my support
in whatever you want to do, okay?
And I'm very happy for you, Mr. NBA man.
Not yet, but I'm supposed to find out tomorrow.
Excuse me!
Hi, can I get a latte?
The service is so fucking bad here.
I gotta go to the bathroom.
Shark!
Open the fucking door!
Now you can really branch out and do your own thing.
You don't need me anymore.
Have fun getting fucked in Hollywood, baby girl.
- Fuck you! - Huh.
- No, all right. - What are you doing?
- Leave! - No!
Get the fuck out of here!
I live here!
Here.
You know what, don't forget this, okay?
Have fun.
Open the fucking door!
Fucking bastard!
You fucking bastard!
Hey, Mama.
Lorie?
Lorie...
What, what, what?
- Hey, girl, wake up. - Hi.
Hi, I'm sorry.
Are you okay?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm just...
I'm such a... I'm so tired.
You think you could get me some coffee?
- Yeah, sure. - Yeah.
Thanks.
Playback.
Yo, hold on.
Cut, cut, cut.
What?
- Are you okay? - Yeah, I'm okay.
Are you okay?
Yo, she all right?
Dude, if she says she's okay, she's okay.
I'm okay.
Man: Roll playback, roll playback.
Let's go, people.
Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut!
Let's take 30, take 30.
Hey.
Stupid fucking asshole.
What?
Yeah.
I think you should get your stuff and leave.
This is not working.
Look at you.
You need to get your shit together.
Fine.
Fine!
Fucking fine!
To get my shit together!
Asshole.
Lucky I ever did this fucking video shoot.
Oh, he's so fucking lucky I even did this shit.
You talk to Chloe yet?
Nope.
I've been texting her and calling her,
but she's not hitting me back.
It's probably 'cause she's busy.
That's what you think.
I've heard this before.
Sounds like somebody's a little bit jealous
of your success.
No.
- Chloe's not like that. - Right.
So why you staying at my house and not hers?
Okay.
Ugh, my God!
My nose, goddamn!
Can I have some more of this?
No, Lorie, chill.
Chill on that shit.
Oh, it's good.
No, we still gotta save some for tonight.
That was my shit.
- Do this! - We'll get some more later.
That's not the point, okay?
And you didn't put in on this, man,
and it goes all up your nose.
You better chill.
But you love me.
Deuces!
That's what I'm about to tell that nigga tonight.
Deuces.
Lorie!
Oh, shit!
Yo, girl, come in here for a second!
Fuck!
- Shit! - Shit!
Let's get her in the shower!
We gotta put you in the shower, let's go.
- Pick her up! - She's heavy, too.
Oh, my God.
Taye, pick her up!
Oh, my God.
- Oh, my God, Lorie, Lorie. - Wake her up, wake her up!
Wake up, Lorie, wake up, Lorie!
Oh, my God.
No!
Stop, what are you doing?
Lorie, we're trying to help you!
What are you doing? What the fuck are you doing?
What the fuck are you guys doing?
Yo, Lorie, you passed out!
Get out, out!

Stupid bitches!

What are you doing, sister?
I'm doing what I came to do.
I'm being a star.
Don't do this.
- Don't do this. - Stop.
Shh.
Stop talking, don't say anything.
I'm happy.

I accept your apology.
Jermaine: Wanna tell me your name, please?
My name is Lorie Walker and I'm 23 years old.
23.
Lorie.
What are three words you would use to describe yourself?
Three words to describe myself.
Um...
Adventurous...
and...
loving...
and...
...afraid.
Afraid of what?
The future.
I mean, isn't everybody?
Okay.
Can I see your profiles, please?
Yeah.
And the other one.
You have a beautiful body.
Thank you.
This role, Lorie, requires a little nudity.
Are you okay with that?
You don't have to answer that now,
don't worry about it, we'll discuss it later.
But I do think you'd be perfect for this part.
I'd love to have you.
Sounds great.
It's the good stuff.
- I splurged. - Did you?
Well, I don't know what it's called, but I splurged.
Thank you very much.
It's a new hit, it's a hit.
It's gonna be huge.
- East Russia? - Mm-hmm.
Lorie.
How are you?
Are you fucking serious?
I can't believe this shit.
- Lorie... - Don't fucking talk to me.
What just happened?
We used to be really, really close.
Is that right?
So what, are you a producer?
Yeah, yeah, I am.
I am.
What have you produced?
Well, I produce movies.
Hey.
Jason.
What are you doing here?
Oh, my God, you didn't tell me you were still in town.
I mean, if you bothered to answer my calls,
you would know I made the team.
What?!
- Oh, my God, congratulations! - Thank you, babe, thank you.
Oh, my God, that's crazy.
That's what's up.
Give me a hug!
You made the team!
Good to see you.
She is a stunning woman.
I mean, but what am I gonna say about it?
You mind if I grab a drink?
Knock yourself out.
It was a pleasure meeting you, Jermaine.
Yeah, likewise.
- Enjoy your movies. - Thank you.
Lorie: Congratulations.
Where your friends at, who you with?
Um...
I don't even know, I think they're over there.
But look, it's good to see you.
- Okay. - Give me a kiss.
Okay.
- Have fun. - All right.
Ha!
How's my girl?
- Great. - Yeah.
Fabulous.
Come on, we'll go to my place.
- Where are we going? - Afterparty.
- It's right up the street. - Afterparty!
- Come on. - Whoo!
Come on, girl!
...but they are so fucking stupid.
Can I sit here?
Baby, you can sit wherever you want.
Okay.
And can I take my shoes off?
Yes, do whatever you want.
Okay.
Oh, what happened to your friends?
I thought we were having an afterparty.
Oh, they may come later, possibly.
You should invite them, because the more, the merrier.
- Really? - Yes.
Definitely.
All right, I'll...
I'm sure they're on their way.
I just wanna... I wanna spread my wings.
You do, huh?
Yes, this town is so fucking suffocating.
Me first.
Can I... I'm gonna go to the bathroom, can I...
Oh, yeah, sure.
It's right...
Make a U-turn.
- I'll be right back. - Two rights and another right.
Hey.
That's for you.
Thank you.
God, I just wanna be free, you know?
How free?
I don't know.
I can't really...
What are you doing?
I just wanna see how you look.
No!
The camera wants to see how you look.
I'm the camera.
The camera.
No, I think that's hilarious, but I just...
You know, I...
You know, I have parameters of what I feel...
Stop!
Ow!
That actually hurts.
Stop, stop!
Stop!
Stop it!
Ow!
No!
Hey, you dumb bitch, come here!
Have you lost your damn mind?
So where do you go from here?
You'll figure it out.
Don't be half-stepping if you want to be...
Then she gonna come and tell me she need more money.
- You believe that shit? - Man, that chick's crazy, man.
- You got to let her go, man. - For real.
She ain't getting nothing out of me, I can tell you that.
Dude, there's a woman behind the dumpster.
Probably just some crackhead.
- Tell her ass to move. - Ma'am, ma'am?
Excuse me.
Excuse me, ma'am, excuse me, ma'am?
Excuse me?
Yo, ma'am, we got a job to do.
Could you please move?
Yo, man, yo.
This chick is crazy!
Call the police, call the cops, man!
Yo, get 9-1-1.
Go inside and tell Nana I said hi.
I don't want to go in there, Stace.
Please?
For me?
Man: Sometimes, we forget our purpose.
We live in a world that's corrupt, it's chaotic,
and as individuals, we can fall into darkness
if we focus on instant gratification.
The key to avoiding that is self-discipline
and self-responsibility.
We focus on our health.
Not just our physical health,
but our mental health and our spiritual health,
and although we're here to encourage each other
and we don't judge,
as part of your process,
you'll all need to take responsibility
and ask yourself that question.
Why am I here?
We have a speaker here today, Mildred.
She's a sponsor and a recovering addict.
I've asked her to say a few words.
- Hi. - Hi.
- Thanks, Phil. - You're welcome.
Hi, my name is Mildred and I'm a recovering addict.
I've been clean for ten years
and I'm here today to tell you that you can do it
and you're in the right place at the right time.
You've made a... an important decision today.
You've acknowledged the fact that
you can't do it by yourself,
that you need a higher power to depend on,
to... to get you through.
Yeah.
There was a void that you were trying to fill with drugs,
going down this dark path.
It's scary.
But you know what?
There were signs, signposts.
Angels would come and tell you words of encouragement,
saying, you don't have to do it this way.
You had dreams, you had visions of encouragement
and all along,
God was bringing you to this place,
to this particular time in your life
where he's saying to you, "You can do it. "
Is that Lorie Walker?!
Can I get your autograph, girl?
You are so crazy.
I know, but I'm so proud of you.
There she is.
Oh, my God!
What are you doing here?
Oh, my gosh.
I got you something.
So what's next?
I don't know.
But... something good.
I want you to know...
...I love you, okay?
I really do.
And if you need anything, I mean, anything,
I'm only a phone call away.
You know that, right?
I love you, too.
My name is Lorie Walker and I'm 24 years old.
Man: What are three words you would use to describe you?
Adventurous...
and...
...loving...
and...
...optimistic.
Look, let me break it down for you.
You got your professionals,
and you got your video hoes.
Your video hoes and your professionals.
What's up, I'm Yasha, 22, video girl.
My craziest experience?
Probably dating a director.
I would say that's my craziest experience, yeah.
Hello, my name is Jessica and I'm 21 years old.
I'm a video vixen/rap artist.
A lot of the girls in the game are hustlers.
We grind, and this is what I do.
Hi, guys, my name is Christie James,
and, you know, basically this whole video thing,
I love to do videos,
it's really fun, but to be honest with you,
a lot of these girls are underpaid and overworked.
Not me, because I'm smart
and I have a head for business,
but a lot of times, it's like the rates are crazy.
It's like $50 for a 12-hour shoot.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Like, look at me, look at what I'm about, hello.
I am aspiring to be a veterinarian.
A lot of people assume that video girls are hoes
and they're just running around
to meet artists
and screw them, whatever you want to call it,
but we actually have dreams.
We all, y'know, aspire to do other things...
the good ones, that is.
What's up, my name is Kandi.
I'm the new hot chick right now.
I'm not fucking no directors,
I'm not fucking to get no part.
I'm not trying to be like them.
I wanna act.
Like, I wanna get my Halle Berry on.
I'll get naked or whatever,
but I really want to work, that's what I wanna do.
I been doing this for about four years now,
I'm established in the game
and I'm from South Central Los Angeles
and I know all about hustlin',
so for me, Hollywood is the same path about hustlin'.
Get to where you gotta get to,
network with who you gotta network with
and make it to the top.
You know what, I'm sick and tired of
bitches hatin' on my shit.
This is my world, this is how I live,
so stop hatin', bitches.
I mean, in this game, these girls all come up
to the video shoots,
I mean, you know, just trying to fuck their way in there,
you know, to get with somebody,
but you don't got to fuck your way in no video.
You ain't gotta be like that.
You just come up here, you be classy.
You be a lady.
You do your thing the right way
and that's how you could get somewhere.
I don't understand these bitches right here.
Like, honestly.
A lot of these hoes, they come into this industry,
they turn into, like, light-seekers.
Oh, my God.
Like moths to the flame, they follow the light.
It's just, like, they fall in love
with all these wannabe ballers,
and all these so-called famous types,
meanwhile, all they end up with is STDs
and broken hearts.
When's the last time you were at the clinic?
But, you know, I mean, it's more than just,
you know, looking good.
A lot of these girls come in this business
and they think that,
oh, the camera's gonna fix all their flaws, you know?
Oh, I don't gotta worry about staying in the gym,
because there's retouching, airbrushing.
Bitch, who the fuck do you think you are,
not respecting the craft, okay?
The craft, you gotta respect it,
and it will respect you.
