Like (2019) - full transcript

"Like" follows the meteoric rise and painful demise of Benito Cruz as he evolves from outrageous social media click bait king to the extremely controversial and chart-topping hip-hop troll, Lil Tito.

Kids go to
instant stardom today.

You have basically
people combing the internet

looking for people,
whether they're talented or not.

You know, you got
people that just have

the accumulated audience,
like the eyeballs,

and those are the people
that they sign.

When they start going live
on their forums

and stuff like that,
it's not even about

being creative,
it's about being reckless,

it's about being crazy.

All right, everybody,
let's move in.



Copy.

- Hands in the air now!
- Oh, my God!

What the fuck?

We got tipped off
that you guys were aliens

living in the US illegally.

We are US citizens.

- We're from Puerto Rico.
- Stop lying, Mrs. Gomez.

My last name is not Gomez.

Diaz, Hernandez,
Fernandez, Guatemarez.

I'm sure it's one
of those ez's.

- It's not one of those.
- Fuck, it's Cruz.

Cruz, and we're not
undocumented!

- Cruz.
- Cruz, I feel like I said that.

- Yeah, I think you did, too.
- Why the fuck



- are you guys in my home?
- I would lower your voice,

Mr. Cruz, you and your familia
are getting deported.

What the fuck
are you talking about?

- Check our IDs.
- Hey, let's get this family

- back to Tijuana.
- I got 'em, yo!

My family thought
they were gonna be deported.

Another brilliant prank
by a prank master.

Subscribe for more.

Oh shit!

All right, guys,
my girlfriend's sound asleep

in the bed right now.

I just filled this
with hot lemonade.

I'm gonna squeeze it
all over her face

and act like I'm peeing on her.

Are you fucking kidding me?

It's just a squeeze bottle,
not my penis.

Man, that shit was crazy,

seeing all that pee
on that girl face.

I mean, I knew it was lemonade,
but imagine you were sleeping

and all of a sudden
you wake up to somebody

- pissing on your face.
- Benito Cruz was quickly

becoming one of the edgiest
and most popular pranksters.

He was doing edgy stuff, yeah,
but that shit was funny.

Was he breaking the law?

That's questionable.

Oh yeah, definitely,
100 percent,

but far be it from me
to discourage an artist

- from making art.
- On the real though,

Benito Cruz was
the one who inspired me

to become a YouTuber.

- That nigga was sick.
- I think I might have

an infection or something.

What do you mean?

Promise not to tell Mom,
okay, I just...

- Okay, let's see it.
- Look, it's right here.

Right here... eat my crotch!

Why, you little...

That was funny.

You know his dad
actually sued him for that?

That was... yeah, that was
my first high-profile case.

But, my team and I worked hard
on the perfect defense.

See, if Mr. Cruz's face

is in Benito's crotch,

that's sexual molestation.

Case drop, son.

Fucking brilliant, right?

Benito was crushing it.

The crazier the stunt,
the more his fan base grew.

But then, he went too far.

You want me to get you
a paramedic or something?

Uh, no, just can you
do me a favor?

Yeah, yeah, what's going on?
What's going on?

Eat my crotch!

Nigga, that shit
was funny as fuck.

It was funny
for all but one person,

the police officer.

He ended up pressing
assault charges.

Famous social media star
Benito Cruz

gets in major trouble
with his latest prank.

Video got
29 million views, though.

The media coverage was insane.

His channel gained
over 5 million subscribers.

The more controversy
surrounding the incident,

the more popular he became.

Social media star is sentenced
to three to five years in jail

for assaulting a police officer.

He was killing
the social media thing.

But, he was definitely
gonna go to jail.

Hey.

You the kid
with the funny videos?

You put the police officer's
face in your crotch?

Yeah.

Respect, holmes.

Hey, tonight,

Imma put your face in my crotch.

You feel me, puto?

Sit up straight.

No, no, I'm good.

Okay, let's begin.

My name is James Matos.

I was his best friend.

Actually, I was his only friend.

Yo, what up, everybody,
it's yours truly,

the people's champ,
J Rhythm right here

on another Dirty Night Radio,

and today we have
a very special guest,

the one and only Lil Tito
in the building.

- Hey.
- What up, man?

Welcome, my brother,
thanks for coming out.

Of course, man,
you know I always make time

for the little people.

When Benito Cruz
came out of jail,

he was a different person.

Prison had hardened him.

He didn't wanna be called
Benito anymore.

He wanted to be referred to
as Lil Tito.

He also looked a lot older.

Well, I guess let's start out
in the beginning, my dude.

Tell us how this evolved
and how Lil Tito came to be.

You know what I mean, it's like,
Lil Tito just is, man.

You don't ask God
how He evolved.

You know what I'm saying,
so it's just Lil Tito

in the beginning, and then
in the end it will be Lil Tito.

Lil Tito was somewhat
of a music phenomena.

He walked out of jail
and two weeks later,

he was on Billboard 100.

You just spent
some time in jail.

- Facts, yo.
- What was that like?

Yeah, that shit was crazy,
you feel me?

What... what was crazy about it?

Everything.

Um, I guess
what I'm trying to say is,

what was your experience like?

Insane, man, say less,
you know what I mean?

I mean, you ain't saying
nothing at all.

It's like this, Rhythm, man,
I mean, like, you, um...

Imagine, like, one day you just
rolling around free, right?

And then, they take you, man,
and they put you

in this building, and they say,
"Yo, you gotta stay here

for a certain amount of years,

and you can't leave
this building,

and you, like, gotta live,
sleep, breathe,

and shower in this building."

- That's what it's like.
- Well, yeah, that's...

that's jail.

Like, but,
what was that like for you?

Really crazy.

The music industry
was fascinated

by his instant success.

What people didn't understand
is that, while Benito

was in jail, kids were
discovering his videos.

Pranksters were
shouting Benito out,

and in many circles,
he was considered

the prank legend.

Benito Cruz was like
the Jordan of pranks.

Yeah, I was managing
the accounts,

and these videos kept getting
millions and millions of views.

Well, with Benito being in jail,

I would make sure all the money
went into an account,

and then I would take that
and transfer that

into a trust fund,
so when Benito...

sorry, "Lil Tito"
got out of jail,

his money was just
waiting for him.

I mean, I did that all
for 80 percent plus expenses.

Industry standard.

So, while you were locked up,
some fan started

a whole Free Cruz campaign.

How did that make you feel

about, like,
getting all that support?

Good.

Would you like to elaborate?

Really good.

- Okay.
- I mean, while Lil Tito

was incarcerated,
I came up with this great idea

to sell T-shirts.

I mean, it was obviously
to bring awareness

to the unfair,
unjust incarceration

of Benito Cruz.

What can we say as a community

when a police officer overreacts
to the innocent act

of having his face
shoved in a young man's crotch.

So today,
we ask for your support

for young Benito Cruz.

Free Cruz.

Unfortunately, the campaign
didn't go as planned.

$15.99.

I'll be in the parking lot in...
12 minutes.

Free Cruz!

- Yes?
- I want free cruise now.

- Yeah, Free Cruz.
- Yeah, free cruise.

- Disneyland!
- No, no, no.

Free Cruz from jail.

Not... not a free cruise.

- Free cruise.
- Free Cruz.

- Free... yeah!
- Cruz.

No, no, Free Cruz,
the name Cruz.

- What time?
- No.

Free Cruz.

- Yeah.
- Thank you.

Cruz, the name,
not a fucking ship.

- A ship, ship.
- No.

All right, fuck this.

- What?
- A bunch of tourists

thought we were just
giving out free cruises.

I mean, yo,
I dropped two singles

that are currently
on Billboard 100.

Tell me what other artists
is doing that right now.

Well, tell us about
the track "Vyagrra."

What was the concept
behind that?

Well, it's like this, man,
you know what Viagra's about,

- right?
- Yeah.

You never had to
use that, right?

No, no, I didn't.

Well, you know, Viagra's
for limp-dick motherfuckers,

you know what I'm saying,
they're soft,

you know what I mean,
and I feel like

the whole rap game right now
is limp-dick soft.

So, Lil Tito's a motherfucker
like Viagra gonna come

and harden this shit up,
you know what I'm saying?

- You feel me?
- Yeah, okay.

Yo, one week out.

One week out and my shit
has skyrocketed to the top

of the motherfucking charts.

I did in one week
what you bitch-ass rappers

can't do in a whole
fucking rap career.

So, let it be known,
your boy Lil Tito has arrived.

It's easy to sign somebody
after they have hits,

you know what I'm saying,
and it's also easy to have hits

when you're on
a fucking major label,

you know what I'm saying,
but I did that shit

completely 100 percent
independent.

We ain't trying to sign
with just any label,

we're trying to sign
with hustlers like us,

- you know what I'm saying?
- Okay, one of

the bigger problems
that Lil Tito has is,

in my opinion, you know,
he signed to

Cocaine Tony.

How long have you
been in the music business?

Ever since I got out of jail.

So, why did you go to jail?

Oh, I was falsely accused
of selling drugs.

How were you falsely accused?

I got pulled over
and had 22 kilos

in the back of my Prius.

Technically,
the drugs weren't even mine.

I was just bringing 'em
from one dude to another dude.

I was like a Uber driver.

- But, for cocaine.
- His name is Cocaine Tony,

you know, so,

and that ain't just a nickname.

Isn't that distribution?

That's what the judge said.

Ah, but the case was thrown out
a few months after.

Why?

Oh,
the arresting officer slipped

and accidentally shot himself.

Five times in the stomach,
then he fell off

a five-story building.

All right before my court date.

It was such a tragedy.

Congratulations,
welcome to BBW Records.

Thank you, thank you.

So, um, you know,

where's my, uh,

$5 million check.

Check? It's no check.

What, what you mean, I thought
this was a $5 million deal.

Oh, it is, you'll be receiving
$5 million in services.

See, now you have a team.

Team that could take you
to the next level,

and that's the shit
money can't buy.

Now, we are giving you
$5 million in connections.

Not to mention,
using all our resources

to make sure
that the Lil Tito brand

becomes a household name.

It's like you getting
a $10 million deal, you feel me?

We did make you
a customized chain, huh.

My God, man,
those diamonds is dancing.

Yes, I know, speechless.

- "EAD"?
- "Eat a dick."

Your slogan.

Mhm.

Yeah, feel it.

Yo, you know my slogan
is "Eat my crotch"?

"Eat a dick" is harder.

"Eat a crotch" is... it's not
aggressive enough, you know?

We need something to sound hard
when it comes out your mouth.

So, "dick" sound harder
coming out the mouth?

Your mouth.

- Eat a dick.
- Eat a dick.

Yeah, try it on, man.

- That shit heavy, yo.
- Mhm, it's almost real.

- Eat a dick.
- Eat a dick.

- Eat a motherfucking dick.
- Twice.

If there were one word
to describe Lil Tito...

"extreme."

Everything Lil Tito did
was over the top.

Always about outdoing the rest.

There was this one rapper,
his name was Lil Montana,

he brought in
this exotic tiger from Africa.

Let's just say Lil Tito
found a way to top him.

I feel like, you know, anyone
can have exotic animals as pets,

but you tell me one person
who got exotic humans as pets.

Yo, I wanna introduce you
to Milo and Mila.

One's a boy pet
and one's a girl pet.

Usually I could tell because,
you know, I just kinda

flip 'em over
and look between their legs.

You hungry? Hungry?

Come on, you guys
wanna go out for a walk?

Don't judge me, bitch.

I make $5,000 a day pretending
like I'm a fucking dog.

Hm, I'm making good money
making sure I don't have to

degrade myself.

Do you feel like sometimes
you might go too far?

We going too far
is how we were successful,

- you know what I'm saying?
- Lil Tito comes out of jail,

records two songs,
and immediately has

two enormous hits on his hands.

While I was in jail,
I had a lot of time

to reflect on my life
and think about my future.

God spoke to me.

He was the One that suggested
that I be a rock star.

Being a rapper is like
being a modern-day rock star,

you know what I mean,
plus, I don't really know

how to play an instrument,
so I'm like,

"Damn, that shit
is perfect for me."

Yeah, yeah, we spoke
every night before I, uh...

I went to sleep.

Of course, I mean, uh,

he was in the bunk below mine.

God was this
big, fat Black dude.

He was my cellmate.

He got locked up for shooting
some dude at.

Stole his or some shit.

The irony is they call him God,

and he shot that dude
under the.

That shit's pretty funny.

Not for the dude he shot, but...
it's funny.

Man, I can't wait
to see these thotties, bro.

Yo, LT, who's directing
this shit anyway?

Yo, the label's got some
young hot-shit director.

Supposed to be real official.

Oh, word.

Yo, what's up, man, you sure
this is the right place?

Oh, this the address
you sent me, bro.

What's up, man,
how's my favorite artist doing,

man, what's up, man,
you ready to get this?

- Yeah.
- Yo, where's everybody at?

Oh, don't worry about it,
big dog, they'll be here.

You... you just worry about
killing them performances.

Here's my G right now, man.

- Yo, who's that?
- That's the director.

Look, don't let
the youth fool you.

This kid is a film genius.

Want you to meet Lil Tito.

- Hey, what's up, bro?
- Yeah.

It's an honor to meet you,
I'm such a big fan.

All right, all right.

Now that the two
creative gurus are together,

let's make some cinematic magic.

- Yeah, let's do it.
- Yo, can we pause for a second?

- Yo, can I holler at you?
- Yeah.

My man, my dude,
what's going on, man?

You getting a little nervous?

No, it's not that,
I'm just saying, uh,

this kid looks like
he's in high school.

Look, I thought we was doing,
like, an official music video,

you know what I'm saying,
I thought we was gonna have

like cameras, crew, guns, girls.

We got none of that.

I mean, I got a gun in the car.

And Danny,
he's got the latest iPhone,

and that's got a dope camera.

Got Portrait mode.

And we can all
call up some hoes.

Yo, there's no
thotties here, man.

Man, you saying there's not
even one bitch over there?

- Nah.
- I think you getting wrapped up

on how things used to be.

Shit is all digital now.

What he's gonna do
with the effects

is gonna be super amazing.

You seen the new Star Wars?

- Yeah.
- Shit was lit.

FYI, all shot on the new iPhone.

You serious?

But, it's amazing
what they can do

with the CG nowadays, man.

CG doesn't just stand
for "computer generated."

It also stands for "crazy good."

Now, go out there
and CG that shit, man.

♪ Ay, you think I don't hear
y'all talking ♪

♪ Talking about Tito,
like, "Fuck Tito this" ♪

♪ And "Fuck Tito that,"
well shit ♪

♪ Fuck me, fuck you ♪

Lil Tito has enormous amounts
of streams on SoundCloud,

YouTube, Instagram,

and his following was insane.

But now, he has to
legitimize himself

as an official artist.

Not just an internet sensation.

Yo, being able to
drive down the highway

and hear my record
being played on the radio,

that's mad important to me.

Everybody
in the music industry knows,

you wanna get
your record on the radio,

there's only one promoter
you fuck with: Radio Dave.

♪ I'm harder than
these rappers, yo ♪

♪ I'm stronger than
these rappers ♪

♪ Lil Tito, my Vyagrra,
fuck you ♪

♪ Lil Tito fuck a bitch
he-a bust in ♪

♪ Everybody on my dick
like a bus now ♪

So, what you think?

Yo.

Yo.

That shit was horrible.

That was utter garbage, man.

That was the crappiest shit
I've ever seen.

You can't put that out
as your first video, man.

That look like somebody
shot that shit on the iPhone.

That's 500 grand down the drain.

- Wait, what?
- Look, Lil Tito, man,

if you sign with me,
I'll make sure your music

get on every
fucking radio station

all across the globe,

and I ain't gonna lie to you.

There's a formula to this shit,

and I know it
like the back of my hand,

but it's gonna take some work
and some fucking money.

Oh, don't worry, he got money.

Wait, wait, don't the label pay
for the promotions and stuff?

- No, oh no.
- No, no.

Usually the artist
fronts that part.

Yeah, I mean, we could,
but that would be

a conflict of interest,
and well, that's illegal.

Wait, how is that
a conflict of interest?

Well, it's a conflict
against my interest.

Lil Tito, nobody knows
what you're all about.

The only thing the public knows
is what they see

on the internet,

and we need to create
the narrative.

- Mm.
- Where you from, man?

The Valley... I mean,
Valley Village exactly, yo.

No, no, Valley Village?

Ain't no certified
hardcore gangstas coming up

- out of Valley Village.
- Well, he's not a certified

- hardcore gangster.
- Who are you?

You the homeboy?

You the mike checker,
1, 2, 1, 2, side nigga.

No, man,
I'm just his best friend.

Well, best friend,

let me do what I do.

Tito, the music industry
is not the same today.

People don't care
about the music anymore.

It's about what show you put on.

That's what
the people wanna see.

It's reality TV,

all day, every day.

You from the hood,
can you vouch for him?

Yeah, we get some goons,
we vouch for you.

- You'll be fine.
- Wait, hold on,

- so you want me to lie.
- It's not lies

as much as
it's small exaggeration.

Right?

There's too many gaps here.

We're just
writing the narrative.

But, let me ask you something,
Lil Tito,

you wanna become stupid rich?

You wanna sip champagne
for breakfast?

Huh? Rock $100,000 Breitlings.

Smash exotic women
across the globe,

places you can't even pronounce.

- 100 percent.
- That's what I'm offering.

All I'm saying is everyone
exaggerates a little bit.

A little white lie
ain't gonna hurt no one.

I just don't think you gotta do
all that, like, extra shit,

- you know, just do you.
- I am doing me, man.

Me is always that extra shit,
look at all the videos.

That's always
been the extra shit.

That whole South Central shit,
the whole "I'm a gangsta" stuff.

Come on, man,
that's not who you are.

All right, look, yo,
all I'm saying is,

people buy into image,
and that's all we giving them

is an image, all right?

I'm a showman, and all
I wanna do is go out there

and put on a fucking show.

And I'm gonna put on
the best fucking show possible.

That's it, man,
and it's gonna work.

Every internet rapper wants to
cross over into the mainstream,

to have their records
on the radio

and to be weaved
into pop culture.

But, that transition
can be tough.

From jail to overnight success,
Lil Tito's stardom

was more than just a phenomenon.

What people call trolling
is me speaking my mind.

This is Beyond Da Music.

Lil Tito climbs
to the top of the charts,

but before Lil Tito
became an overnight celebrity,

the mean streets of LA
is what he called home.

Benito was always a good boy.

When I was young, I was
always getting into trouble.

The teachers,
they would always tell me

what a pleasure he was
to have in school.

My teachers always told me
I would never amount to shit,

- you know?
- My husband and I worked hard

to make sure that we provided
a good home for Benito

- and his sister.
- You know,

my mom was a crackhead,
you know, she used to take

the rent money
to buy crack to smoke,

and my father, you know,
he used to beat me.

You know, he would
call me names, like "stupid,"

you know what I mean, and, uh,

he would make
racial slurs against me.

Yeah, yeah, he was racist.

He was a happy little boy,

and we were
a happy little family.

I had a fucked up childhood.

♪ Lil Tito fuck ya bitch,
inside this hoe ♪

♪ Ask anybody... ♪

You know, there's a lot
of shit going on,

and a lot of parties and stuff,
but now that I'm signed,

I'm just focusing on my album.

Do I think Lil Tito
could transition

into a mainstream artist?

I mean, shit,
if he pays my retainer.

Hell yeah, why not?

All right, so we're just
gonna need one more signature

- right here.
- All right, I got you.

Aight, we good.

So, last but not least,
I'm gonna just need that, uh,

- that check.
- Oh yeah, I got you, I got you.

So, uh, yo, who do you want me
to make this check out to?

Uh, Got You Sucka Incorporated.

- Got You Sucka?
- Incorporated.

- Why you name your company that?
- Ah, you know, it's just...

it just means, "I got you,"
you know what I'm saying?

It's like,
"Radio Dave got you...

sucka."

- Sucka?
- Yeah, sucka.

Uh, it's like OG slang
for "my nigga."

You kinda know that means
something different right now?

Yo, I heard
you was in the studio.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, man,
we recorded "Vyagrra" the remix.

- Shit sound tough, yo.
- Ooh, I know it does, man.

That's crazy,
but now, yo, remember, aight?

We need you to make
some motherfucking noise, aight?

Stir the pot, we need to create
some damage on the internet,

'cause, you know,
controversy and beef,

- that brings...
- Clicks and streams.

Clicks and streams,
that's what I'm talking about.

So, yo, so you want me to start
a beef with a rapper, right?

Yeah, but not just
any rapper, okay?

We need somebody
with some clout.

Now, let me
ask you something, Tito,

are you willing to do whatever
it takes to get to the top?

Yeah, of course, whatever, man.

You willing to take a bullet,
maybe, like, in the shoulder?

- Wait, what?
- I got some real sharp shooters.

Okay, they can just graze
a little bit off your shoulder,

you know what I'm saying,
take a little skin off.

You won't even need that skin,
you can put a tattoo over it.

- It's nothing.
- Yeah, man, you know what?

I'm not down
with getting shot, bro.

Okay, we'll put a pin in that,
but let's talk about something

that's more important, and let's
keep things in order, aight?

Let's talk about
the entourage, right?

You need to start hanging
with some motherfuckers

that are eclectic.

- Are you white?
- Nah, Puerto Rican.

Okay, well we need to
United Nations that shit on up,

so I suggest we add,
like, a hardcore Mexican,

and maybe, like,
two or three Black dudes,

some hardcore motherfuckers,
like, Darien or fucking Arius.

Some shit like that,
you know what I'm saying?

Then we'll add an Asian
with some funky clothes,

'cause you know
that shit is in right now,

and if we got a little bit
more money in the budget,

I say we add, like,
a funny Indian dude.

Yo, you think all that shit
is necessary, though?

Fuck yeah, it's necessary, dude.

But yo, let's talk about
the fun shit, though.

- The females.
- Oh yeah, yeah.

Right, because all your fans
gonna wanna know

who are you smashing, okay?

Now, I got a connection to,
like, some high-level thotties

that I can hook you up with,

but I need to ask you
a question, and again,

I'm just throwing it out there.

Will you fuck a Kardashian?

Ah, man,
I don't know about that.

It'd just be for a little while.

Yo, in all honesty, my dude,
I'd rather get shot.

Okay, we're gonna play it safe.

We're gonna hook you up with,
like an up-and-coming porn star.

- Let's do that.
- Yo, I got one before you leave,

- I got one more question.
- So, now that we got

all this done, can I start
saying the N-word in my music?

Absolutely not,
but good meeting, man.

This check better not bounce.

Lil Tito knew
that it was his job

to start shaking things up.

It was clear to me that
Lil Tito referring to himself

as "The King of LA"
was just him trolling,

waiting to see if anyone
would challenge him.

I am the King LA,
because you know what I mean,

I just claimed it,
you know what I'm saying?

A king don't wait
for somebody to throne him,

you know what I'm saying,
we just... me and my team,

we just claimed the throne
and we own it,

- you know what I'm saying?
- Surprisingly,

no one did.

Until the video dropped.

The video drops...

The video dropped
on Wednesday at noon,

and by 1:30 in the afternoon,
it already received

2.5 million views.

He didn't go at one person.

This dude made
a video going, like,

at like four or five rappers
all at once.

When I sat down to discuss
the idea for the video

with Lil Tito, it was very clear

the message
he wanted to come across.

He wanted to make the claim
and let everyone know

that he was king.

I suggested a medieval theme.

♪ I'll pull up on these dudes ♪

♪ Put these pussies
on their back ♪

♪ You can call me Cola,
mixed with baking soda ♪

♪ Drink will
make you throw up... ♪

The video was pretty gruesome.

He started beheading
the heads of rappers

and placing them
on wooden spikes.

Went Game of Thrones on 'em,
cut people's heads off,

cut... he cut their heads off.

That's disrespectful,
you understand,

I mean, that message that
he's sending right there alone,

I mean, somebody gonna try...
you got now five people

- trying to cut your head off.
- Nigga, the video was dope.

This motherfucker had these
sexy-ass White Walkers.

Out of the blue,
there's this weird shot

of him fucking a purple dragon.

This nigga was smashing
a purple dragon.

To each his own.

Now, that's
a motherfucking video.

I thought the video
was a bit over the top.

But, that's what art is.

It's controversy,
and you know what's great

about controversy?

Lawsuits.

A fucking shitload of lawsuits.

The video had everyone talking.

Flight Team, stand up, hey, man,

that Lil Tito dude,
bro, you crazy.

Bro, this man put
heads of rappers

on a Game of Thrones-looking
thing on his latest

Vyagrra video.

Vloggers, VJs,
even morning talk show hosts

- were talking about Lil Tito.
- See, the video was genius,

'cause it didn't start one beef,
it started a series of beefs.

If y'all don't respond, bro,
you might as well

just give this man the crown
and just say,

"He's the number one artist
of all time."

Now you got some of
the biggest rappers in the game

making response videos.

♪ Yo, man, that ghost,
I pull up with that strap ♪

♪ I pull up on these dudes ♪

♪ Put these pussies
on their back ♪

Lil Tito, like...
he's like super troll.

We do what we gotta do,
if my man gotta go suck a dick

to get us a deal,
he's gonna go suck a dick

to get us a deal,
you know what I mean?

It's just as real as that.

Now, I just saw on the Gram
that Lil Uzi,

he's upset,
you know what I mean,

'cause I called his mom
a dick-sucking whore.

Now, let me ask you question,

how upset you think
he's gonna be when he finds out

I smashed his boo, oh yeah.

Sup, baby?

These plaques are dope,
because whenever I feel

a little sad,
I could look at them

and it just tells me
that I'm better than

a lot of other people,
you know what I mean?

Yo, I got this plaque
right here,

'cause this picture
got a million Likes,

you know what I'm saying,
so the picture went platinum.

A lot of these dudes right now,
like, they go back and forth

with each other on the internet.

They, you know... they troll

each other's forums
and stuff like that,

and they say a lot
of crazy, crazy, crazy shit,

and the problem is,
it's on the internet,

so the whole world
is watching you cross that line.

So, when you cross that line,
what's left to do?

I mean, at some point somebody
gonna get hurt for real.

Lil Tito took the beefs
to a whole new level.

I mean, Lil Tito, he knew how to
juice the shit out of his beefs,

you know what I'm saying,
I mean, just look at what he did

to your boy Lil Montana.

Lil Montana,
whose government name

was Daniel Clarkson,
was one of the hottest rappers

at that time.

♪ Take 'em to the money man,
it's like it's free ♪

♪ Haters hate on me
then they rest in peace ♪

Lil Tito, well he decided
to make him his main rival.

♪ I can hear the hate,
I'm just here to eat ♪

I mean, the guy
goes above and beyond

the fucking lines of too far.

He sent two grimy, grimy,
grimy-looking cops

to Lil Montana's parents' house.

Well, wait, why does
that man have a camera?

The department requires
we tape all visits.

It's for your protection,
so we don't rob you

or beat you up,
or that sort of stuff.

And they basically
bring the news,

they say, "Your son was seen
leaving the club last night

with another man, and allegedly,

started performing felatio
on this man.

And at that point,
the driver lost control.

"They hit a brick wall,
your son was decapitated,

and basically,
when they discovered him..."

He had a penis in his mouth.

Ay, Lil Tito, you crazy, bro,
I ain't gonna lie.

Montana, what you gonna do, man?

He came over to
your parents' house

and everything,
what you gonna do, man?

You can't let him
do you like that, man.

But, don't trip,
he gonna get his.

Payback is a bitch, on God.

The visual of all of that stuff
just goes too far, you know?

Yo, what up, everyone,
I woke up this morning

to see that
stupid-ass dude Blake Skilz

posted a track
where he mentions my name.

Yo, that shit was
utter and complete trash.

Yo, keep my name out your mouth,
you bitch-ass...

- Nigga.
- He had no boundaries,

and now,
he was bigger than ever.

His trolling antics
took him to the top.

Lil Tito was officially
the biggest thing in music

and pop culture.

I mean, in all honesty, man,
my goal is to be

the greatest artist
that ever lived, you know?

Uh, the richest artist
that ever lived.

When you're as famous
as Lil Tito,

you attract a lot of attention,

and some of it can be

the wrong kind of attention.

With celebrity comes women,

and a lot
of these women were hot,

like, these women

were really, really hot.

I told Lil Tito
he had to be careful,

'cause it is not hard
for a young man

to get in trouble.

So, I said, "If you're gonna
be out there fucking around,

just get protection."

I mean this is the best
consent form in the business.

I mean we got a little legal...
legal jargon right here

that you just
get out of the way.

You both gotta sign
the bottom of that.

Best part,
it comes with this chart,

like, we got the full body here,

so it's like, "Oh, cool,
you can touch here,

uh, you can
poke something there."

It's got this comment section,
if you wanna add in some, like,

extra special shit,
where it's like,

"Oh yeah, put a tongue there
and do this."

It works for... you can do
guy-girl, girl-guy, guy-guy."

It fucking doesn't matter,
as long as everybody initials

and signs, turns that into me,
we're good.

When you're the biggest thing
in the entertainment business,

people are gonna wanna know
who you're dating.

Instagram models, actresses,
and various female celebrities

were all bidding to be
Lil Tito's main squeeze.

Most of them
were just clout chicks.

I rep some of the best
Instagram models in the world.

If you're below 300,
you're too basic

to be repped by me.

Oh, sorry, as in under

300,000 followers.

The Instagram modeling business
is cutthroat.

Not just anyone can do it.

First of all,
you have to be pretty,

and you have to have a phone.

Being a professional
Instagram model

is extremely hard work.

I mean, not only do you have to
be beautiful all the time,

you constantly have to be
taking great, sexy pictures,

and the captions,
they have to be inspiring.

I wake up in the morning
and I say, "Good morning"

to all my fans,
because some of them,

that's all they have.

Then, after that, I go workout,

and that can be difficult,
because you don't wanna

look gross and sweaty.

None of your fans
should ever have to see that.

I spend the rest of the night
just entertaining

my millions of fans.

That could be really hard work,

because you always have to be...

happy.

I tell my girls,
"You get out there,

you find those rappers,
those athletes, those YouTubers,

anything you can do
to get your numbers up.

Because if you can't find people
to like your pictures,

how are you going
to get them to like you?

I mean, whatever female
Lil Tito chooses,

I mean, you best believe
her profile

gonna go through the roof,
so it can't just be

some ordinary thotty,
you know what I'm saying?

Yo, check out shorty right here.

Let me see.

Oh, she's nice.

- What you think?
- I mean, look, she's smash-able.

She ain't packing six figures.

Radio Dave said,
"Six figures minimum."

You know what you need, my dude?

Black girl.

Get you a dime-ass Black girl.

Fuck these White bitches.

- You need a sister.
- Yo, my dude,

you'd look good
with a Black girl.

Yo, that zebra shit
is in right now, bro.

You posting pics officially
in a zebra relationship,

psh, that shit'll get you
mad Likes, B.

- You think?
- Most definitely.

Ayo, peep this, right.

So, the White dudes
are gonna say,"Damn,

homie pulled a sister."

- Facts.
- Wait, then the sisters

are gonna say, "This
vanilla-looking motherfucker

must be doing something right
to pull a sister."

Super facts.

Plus,

then I could say the N-word.

Hell no.

- Why not?
- Yo, my dude,

we already been
through this, man,

the word ain't for you,
my nigga.

Yo, I don't understand, man,
you motherfuckers say that shit

all the time,
and I'm Puerto Rican

- just like you motherfuckers.
- But, there's a difference,

you see, my ancestors
got fucked by Africans.

Yours got fucked by Spaniards.

Yo.

Ooh, yo, who's that?

Destiny Sapphire.

- Ooh, yeah, she's hot.
- Yo, she got, like,

13 million followers.

Blazed that last night, though.

Ah, blazed it this morning, kid.

How y'all blazing?

Ah, young man.

You got a lot to learn,
young man.

- Fuck y'all talking about?
- Should we put him on?

Let me show you something,
we're gonna show you something,

man, come over here, bro.

Destiny Sapphire was the largest
virtual reality porn star

in the world.

Put on the suit,

wear the glasses,

pick the scenario,

and get busy.

Oh, she can give you head,
ride you,

multiply the bitch by three.

I've done it.

Wait, how do you get off?

Well the suit has
these electrical pulses,

it gives you sensations.

Gets you off.

I mean, like,

how do you...

release.

Oh, you jizz right in the suit.

- Yeah.
- But wait,

don't you motherfuckers
share that shit?

Yeah, but we wash it.

We don't wash it, wash it,
'cause if you do,

you can get electrocuted.

But, we use wipes,
disinfectant wipes.

Yeah.

Hm.

It wasn't long before
Destiny Sapphire and Lil Tito

became a thing.

Wow, this is amazing.

I mean, you look amazing.

What did you like about me?

That you had a lot of followers.

Oh.

Well, how did you
become a rapper?

I don't know,
I kinda just fell into it,

you know what I mean,
started making videos.

How'd you get into porn?

I thought it would be
a great way to springboard

my acting career.

So, you wanna be an actress?

Mhm, I do.

I mean, I've been taking
some acting classes,

but I really just wanna be
a serious actress,

- like Meryl Streep.
- I think you're gonna be very,

- very successful.
- So sweet.

Do you really think
I have what it takes?

Of course,
and you know what they say,

sucking dick in Hollywood
gets you really far,

and you got that shit on lock.

The relationship between
Destiny and Lil Tito was hot.

The internet just got obsessed.

I mean, who wouldn't be obsessed
with the hottest rapper

and the biggest porn star
having an affair?

It was a train wreck
waiting to happen.

Please welcome our next guest,

hip-hop and internet sensation

"Lil Tito."

Well, it is a pleasure
to finally be able

- to meet you.
- It is.

Lil Tito was on The Hellen Show.

He's no longer
just an internet sensation.

He's become a household name.

Yo, if you give me a budget,
I'll make any idiot

a household name,
and that's real talk.

Let's talk about
your steamy relationship

with Destiny Sapphire.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,
she's sexy.

Well, people are
fascinated by you guys.

- Oh, 100 percent.
- Seems to be going well.

Do we hear, uh, wedding bells
in your future?

Nah, nah, nah, nah,
look, look, Hellen.

We be smashing,
don't get it fucked up,

we be smashing,
you know what I'm saying?

But, you just don't make
a hoe into a housewife.

Right, that sounds appropriate

in this day and age.

Wait, wait,
what did he just say?

Yeah, um, that's not
gonna go over well.

Rap and internet sensation
Lil Tito finds himself

in a world of trouble tonight,

after a misogynistic comment
on The Hellen Show.

Yo, but you got a lot of ladies
mad at you right now.

Yeah, but I don't see why,
I don't see why they mad,

- you know what I mean?
- Usually when an artist

offends a group of people,
you would think

that the proper response
would be to issue an apology.

Not Lil Tito.

He thought it'd be
a good idea to double down.

I mean, look, man,
it's just like this.

Let's say you... yo, J,
you dating a girl, right?

- Yeah.
- Let's say you loving

this bitch, man,
that's your fucking boo...

All right, man, my bad, I'm not
gonna even call her a bitch.

Let's say you loving this thotty
and that's your boo,

- you know what I'm saying.
- Yeah.

And you... that's your
main squeeze and everything,

right, but then you find out

that she sucked
367 penises last year.

- That's a lot of penis.
- How you feel about...?

- You gonna marry her?
- Nah.

Nah, you gonna... yo, my dude,
you gonna marry her?

- Nah, B.
- Yo, son, you gonna marry her?

Yo, you gonna marry her?
There's a whole studio here.

Yo, you gonna marry her?

Yo, producer guy,
you know what I'm saying?

The battle of the sexes turns up
as Lil Tito's comments

get the fans freaking out.

Not sure what's gonna happen,
stay tuned.

Yo, it was the only thing
people could talk about.

Everyone was split on the issue.

But, one thing was for sure,
Lil Tito was becoming

more and more popular.

Then, he crushed it.

Yo this video right here,

is about unity,
you know what I'm saying.

It's about bringing
people together

but most of all, it represents
female empowerment.

Lil Tito starts his own
sub label under BBW Records.

Now mind you, he hasn't even
released his full album yet.

But he's gonna go develop
a bunch of new artists?

Yo, what up everybody.

I'm here with the homie,
Lil Nasty XX.

The first artist on
my new music label, LT Music.

Lil Nasty XX
was a different type of rapper.

His niche was...

a bit questionable.

Lil Nasty XX was the first...

porno rapper.

That kid's my favorite
fucking artists.

'Cause he's a rapper

and you know
how rappers talk about

like getting their dick sucked

and fucking bitches.

Well, this guy...

in his videos
rapped and fucked bitches

and got his dick sucked.

In the fucking video,
it's great!

Fucking genius.

Oh, those videos are so good.

I've seen them, uh, once
or twice, but they're good.

The problem is that
when you're under

another rapper's label
you depend a lot

on that rapper's fan base.

So Lil Tito's fan base
was a demographic

of roughly 6 to 80.

Lil Nasty XX
eventually was arrested

for soliciting porn to minors.

Lil Nasty XX
became the most famous

sex offender rapper there was,
if that's even a category.

Yeah, he called me
from jail for legal advice

and I was like,
"Don't get raped son!"

But rape is not
a laughing matter...

wait, we can cut that...
can we just cut that part out

and I start over?
Is that cool?

Lil Tito was never scared
of trying new things.

He liked being unorthodox.

Maybe a little too much.

People underestimate me
because I come from the streets

and look a certain way,
you know what I mean.

But I'm smart as fuck,
you know what I mean.

I reads this article
where people over 55

are spending a lot of cash.

So I'm like, "Yo, what the fuck?

Why are we not focusing
on getting that money?

- You know what I mean?
- All right, everybody.

I would like to introduce you
all to...

Lil Tito.

Yo, what up, my old ass ninjas.

Y'all mother fuckers
ready to get turned up?

Yo, I said
are y'all mother fuckers

- ready to get turned up?
- Yeah!

I said y'all mother fuckers
ready to get turned up?

- Yeah!
- Yeah.

I say "Fuck me"

and you mother fuckers say
"Fuck you."

- Ready?
- Yeah!

- Fuck me!
- Fuck you!

- Fuck me?
- Fuck you!

Fuck me?

Fuck you!

Let's get this mother fucker
turned up!

Fuck me!

Fuck you!

Fuck me!

Fuck you!

Fuck me!

Fuck you!

Fuck me!

Fuck you!

Yo, let's go, Tito!

I heard that Snoop and Future
were throwing out weed

in one of their concerts
so I thought Lil Tito

on the 50 Plus Tour

would through out some ED pills.

Get your dick hard, old man.

Lil Tito, I love you!

That's what the fuck
I'm talking about.

I love you too, Mama.

Come to find out that these
old mother fuckers is fucking.

Yo, old people is dirty.

They're the one's spreading
the most STD's out of anybody.

Yo, Doris,
tell them how you get down.

I be fucking.

Yeah, you do.

Yo, tell 'em who got
the best head game

in this mother fucker.

Me, my head game is better

than any of these bitches.

Yo, I felt like that was
the best experience

of their mother fucking lives.
You know, what I'm saying.

I'm here with my original
OG mother fuckers, right.

In all in all, the 50 Plus Tour

went pretty well,
you know what I'm saying.

Um, yeah, some people died
so we had to shut it down

because it turns out
you can't give ED pills

to old men with bad hearts.

So you can't have
a bad heart and hard dick.

'Cause then you just die hard.

- You feeling me Black Bob?
- Black Bob had a huge

hip hop talk show,
any rapper who was anybody

wanted to be interviewed
by Black Bob.

Don't know why they called him
Black Bob though.

What up hip hop world.

It's your boy Black Bob here

with my man, J-Escrow.

Uh, so tell us about
this beef with Lil Tito.

I ain't got no beef
with that dude.

But you called him out
on your mixtape.

Oh, yeah I him
a clout chasing weirdo

'cause that's what the dude is.

Look, being disrespectful
is not a talent, you feel me.

Besides, you can't beef
with nobody that's beneath you.

That's real, my dude.

I fucking love you.

Come here,
give me some of that love.

Yeah, man.

Fuck Lil Tito.

Fuck Lil Tito.

Nah, for real.

- Fuck Lil Tito.
- Fuck Lil Tito.

The next day,
the number one trending hashtag

was Fuck Lil Tito.

Fuck you, Lil Tito.

Man, fuck you, Lil Tito.

Fuck you, Lil Tito.

Fuck you, Lil Tito.

Philly in the building real rap.

Southside, Englewoods, Chicago.

- North Philly.
- Lil Tito started to get

a taste of his own medicine.

J-Escrow was getting
under his skin

and it started
to become obvious.

He would make response videos
and diss track

but it just didn't resonate.

Hey look man, first of all,
I don't got time

for all this
little fuckboy shit.

But fam, you've become so
annoying

that now I must end you.

So anybody that still follows
this clown, check me out.

I'm about to expose the truth
on who this character really is.

So this Friday I'm dropping
a video across all my platforms

letting you all know
about Benito Cruz

aka Lil Tito,
aka homie yous a fake.

Feel me, stay tuned,
watch me end you career.

J-Escrow had built up
the anticipation

for this video
that was supposedly

gonna really expose Lil Tito.

It was genius.

He made the people
wait all week.

That mother fucker
promoted that shit

like it was the next big fight.

The question ended up being,
"What is there to expose?"

The internet went wild.

Yo, what does J-Escrow
have install for Lil Tito.

He's trash,
I think J got the ups on him.

Hey, I heard you gonna
get exposed, my guy.

Tomorrow, my guy, you're on
that fuckboy goofy shit, my guy.

I mean, most people
think he's gonna expose

the fact that you're gay.

I mean, I'm not even gay,
my dude.

- I know.
- But you said the fact.

Listen man, I'm just telling you
what the internet's saying.

So what? The internet's saying
that I'm gay?

- And that you got a little dick.
- That's a good thing, bro.

It's a good thing that people
think I've got a little dick?

No, no it's a good thing
that people think you're gay.

Gay people support each other,
you know what I mean?

Your fan base's about to
blow up.

So what? I'm supposed to
pretend like I'm gay?

Why not, you've been
doing a lot of pretending.

Yo, what's that
supposed to mean?

I don't even know
why you're stressing.

Just do what you do, let the guy
drop the video one day

and then you drop
the video the next.

- That's it.
- I'm stressing

- 'cause this is my career.
- Pause.

I got it.

Instead of steering away
from the skid,

- let's slide right into it.
- Yo, what does that even mean?

Everybody's talking
about this shit, right.

The numbers are crazy right.

Let him drop his video Friday.

- Drop an album Saturday.
- Wait what? Nah, come on.

Yo, that's fucking genius.

LT, people are gonna think

this whole fucking
J-Escrow thing

is a hype for your album, dog.

They're gonna check it out
just 'cause of the controversy.

This could be huge for you, bro.

I mean...

In all honesty I like it.

But shit,
that only gives me two days

to put a whole album together.

You already had
four hit singles, man.

Artists are dropping albums
with seven songs on it.

You know what I mean?

Just cut a couple fenders.

Get some interludes,
maybe a skid or something.

- You good to go.
- Yo, you could break records

- for stream, my dude.
- Nah, nah, nah I disagree man.

Right now you need
to focus on your project.

Whatever this guy says is
going to be over by next week.

But yo, you got
the opportunity right now

to... to make a dope ass album.

Something that people
are gonna love

that's gonna last forever.

An artist's first album

is the most important one.

Yo.

Focus on music.
Fuck the bullshit.

Yo, nobody cares about
the music, bro.

Everybody cares
about the bullshit.

I say you drop the album, dog.

So Lil Tito announces
that he's gonna drop his album

on that Saturday.

A day after J-Escrow
releases his expose video.

Dropping an album on the cusp of
all that controversy.

Yo, that shit was brilliant.

What up, what up,
it's your boy, DJ Stacks.

You know
I got that exclusive info.

I know y'all have
been waiting for this.

It appears Lil Tito announced

he's about to drop his
debut album Kola King of LA

this Saturday and listen,
I'm not even finished yet.

This comes right after
J-Escrow announced he has

very damaging information
on Lil Tito on Friday.

This can't be good,
I hope it ends well.

DJ Stacks, stay tuned with me.

I'm gonna give y'all
more information soon.

The video drops at 1 PM and the
coverage on it was ridiculous.

Now remember, Lil Tito
you did this to yourself, bro.

Within less than
an hour the video

went on to receive
a million hits.

By the end of the day, the video
had got ten million views.

J-Escrow had delivered
on his promise

and exposed Lil Tito
in a very detailed way.

So Lil Tito claims to be this
hard ass dude from South Center.

But in the hood,
nobody knows you

and in actuality, bro,
you're from Valley Village.

I have here a wired transfer

the label sent
to your so-called goons.

I mean, bro, who hires day ones?

The video exposed
every detail about Lil Tito

aka Benito Cruz.

His background,
where he grew up,

even his financial records.

Oh, don't worry y'all.

I'm gonna post all
these documents on the Gram

so you can cross reference
for yourself.

It talked about his time in jail

and how he was punked
by other inmates.

How he even started working
for the warden as a snitch.

That his label and his manager

were stealing all his money.

Lil Tito's record contract.

Now if this ain't the worst
360 deal I ever seen in my life.

Bro, your whole team
jerking you.

Yeah, it was definitely
a hard blow.

Why does this dude have
a swastika on his face?

Like y'all, low-key I feel like
everything this dude does

has a racist subtext on it
and I don't understand

how anybody can cosign
anything he does.

He's got human beings
chained up like they pits.

What kind of weirdo shit
is that?

This dude has no talent.

He's not funny.

His music is trash

and fam, over all, you as
a human being is super trash

and this this guy
y'all chose to follow.

By the next morning,
the video had already reached

over 40 million views.

And Lil Tito's debut album
was just released.

Then uh, then the album dropped.

The album dropped.

Let's just say that
it wasn't very well received.

So he goes in the studio,
in two days

and puts together
the worst album in rap history.

Straight trash.

Yeah, shit my niggas, like...

right after the album dropped,

no lie, it was like 30 minutes
and like all these promoters

just start cancelling dates
and shows and shit.

It was like done
and niggas was like here

then he was here,
like within 30 minutes.

No exaggeration.

People were mean.

They were setting pictures
of Lil Tito on fire.

The internet that created him

was now turning against him.

Yo, where's he at?

His apartment.

He's in bad shape, man.

Let's go.

Smells like shit.

Yeah, dude's been
pissing himself.

He doesn't give a fuck.

You guys couldn't clean up?

He wouldn't let
anyone touch him.

That stench?

It's coming from him.

All right.

Give me a minute,
let me talk to him.

Be outside.

So what's the plan?

Just gonna drink?

Be a drunk all your life?

You should just leave.

What bothers you more?

The fact that people
know who you really are

or that your album flopped?

Fuck off.

Good.

Good, get it all out.

You must be really
enjoying this shit.

How am I enjoying this?

You get to finally see me down,
right.

You're a real fucking
piece of work, you know that?

I don't even know
what you're doing here, man.

No one asked you
to fucking come.

You think I wanted to be here?
Those dudes asked me to be here

because they're worried
about you.

Where's your label?

Have you heard from
your managers, your entourage.

I don't see anyone here
giving a fuck about you.

That's right, it all comes out,
you was jealous of that shit,

- weren't you.
- I'm jealous of what?

Maybe the money, you know.

Fame.

Maybe the fact that I got
millions of people follow me

and who you got, huh?

Who follows you?

No one, you know why?

'Cause you a fucking nobody.

Nobody gives a fuck about you

and you will always be
a fucking nobody.

You're fucking delusional.

Think I'm jealous of what,
your fake ass fame?

Your fucking money, man.

Everyone is living
in a mansion but you...

you're living in
this fucking condo

that you don't even fucking own.

Your whole fucking life is a
fucking lie that you made up.

So what the fuck
am I jealous of?

Just get the fuck
out of here and go back

to your trash ass fucking life,
bro.

What the fuck you know
about my life?

Ever since you became
this fake ass Tito shit

you never once asked me
how I'm doing

or what I'm dealing with.

It's all about you, your likes
and your followers man.

Get over yourself.

Oh.

And I heard that album.

That shit... that shit
was officially trash.

- Yo, what happened?
- Man, fuck him.

If you're always winning

you never know
how to deal with losing.

- Hello?
- Yo, what's up playboy?

- You've gone ghost?
- Nah man.

It's just uh...

It's just over,
you know what I mean.

- What's over?
- My career.

- I mean, everything.
- Are you serious?

You lost the battle, so what.

Now we regroup and strategize

on how to get this dude back.

Now come on man,
the album release party

is tomorrow night.

It was a Sunday night

which is a really weird night
to have an album release party,

but the whole industry
was going to be there.

A violent stabbing at a
Hollywood night club tonight.

Rapper J-Escrow was stabbed
during an altercation

with rival rapper Lil Tito...

J-Escrow had gone to the
album release to troll, I guess

and tease Lil Tito.

There was an altercation
between the two crews

that led to the stabbing
of J-Escrow.

Your lawyer's here now.

This is Oscar Gomez.

He's gonna get you out of here,
okay.

All right.

So I'm at the club,
all right and um...

you know, all of a sudden
everybody's just shoving

each other around
and stuff and I was...

Hey, hey, hey,
you know what man.

It's okay.

Oscar, give us a moment?

Sure thing.

- What's up?
- Yo, T, I didn't do this.

I know.

But what if you did?

But I'll go to jail.

This time I'll go
to a real prison.

Think about it,
this could take your career

to a whole new level.

You know how much clout
this will give you?

I could be looking at
attempted murder.

No, no, no.

No, you see...

we plea self defense.

You saw a gun, I'll have
someone say they saw it too.

I promise you you'll get a plea.

Small slap on the wrist,
two years at the most.

Then you come out
bigger than ever

and this time...

you own 90 percent
of your album.

Give you a minute
to think that over.

Be all right.

You know, everything
about that evening

just seemed extremely strange.

- Nothing added up.
- It was a crazy weekend.

No one thought
that within 72 hours

of J-Escrow releasing
the expose video on Lil Tito

that it would end
with a stabbing.

So the story is J-Escrow
had a gun

and was crashing the party.

Further disrespecting Lil Tito

but if you look at the facts
and listen to the rumors,

none of it makes sense.

If J-Escrow
was crashing the party,

disrespecting Lil Tito,

he would've been posting
about it.

It's trolling 101.

You crashing the party
of a rival artist,

it'd be all over the Gram,
Facebook, Twitter, whatever.

Let's just do the math.

So Friday,
the expose video comes out.

The internet explodes

and calls Lil Tito a fraud.

Saturday, the album drops

and is received poorly.

Sunday night,
J-Escrow is stabbed.

Lil Tito gets exactly
what he wants.

The expose video
is shadowed by the stabbing

and now all anyone
is talking about

is what happened at the club.

I think, Lil Tito and his team
invited J-Escrow to the club

to set him up.

♪ I'm gonna be here forever ♪

♪ Ah! ♪

Do I think Benito Cruz
stabbed J-Escrow?

No, I don't.

It's a really lonely place
at the top

but it's worse
when you hit rock bottom.

Breaking news, we've just
learned that an hour ago

Benito Cruz, known to
the rap community as Lil Tito

signed a plea deal
admitting guilt to the stabbing

of rapper J-Escrow.

I can't explain...

what exactly
happened that night.

Especially when
you're like in the moment

and there's chaos
and everything's going on.

For me, everything about
that incident was just a blur.

Do you feel remorseful
for your actions?

Do I feel remorseful
for what I've done?

I mean, yeah.

I'm not proud of my actions.

I feel like, um,
I let myself down.

I feel like
I let my family down.

I feel like I let the fans down.

I can truly say
that I'm sorry for anyone

that I've inflicted any type
of pain to or hurt.

I'm just glad
that I've been blessed

with this opportunity
to make things right,

you know what I mean.

And...

the judge has granted me a month

so I can get my affairs
in order.

And in that time,
I plan to record a new album

and this time, I'm gonna focus
on giving the people

exactly what they want.

And that's good music.

♪ You ain't making this easy ♪

♪ Take back to my holy days ♪

♪ Y'all don't want to see me ♪

♪ Don't take me back,
don't take me back ♪

♪ Don't take me back,
don't take me back ♪

- You like it?
- I love it.

It's a real album.

You good?

Man, you know...

two years, man...

it's going to go by quick.

It's nothing.

Look man, everything's
already been taken care of.

Protection's been paid for.

You good.

All you gotta worry about

is how to spend all that money
when you come home.

All right?

Come on man,
keep your head up, bro.

It's gonna be okay.

Hey.

I gotchu.

Between all of the beef back
and forth with the trolling

and him feeling like, you know,

he needed to step up in some way

and show some sort of street
credibility but the pressure.

The pressure that
even lead him to doing that

in the first place

is what's really crazy.

When you build a platform
that you live on everyday

with millions of followers
from all around the world

watching and hanging on
everything that you say,

commenting on everything
that you do.

That kind of validation becomes
a part of one's self-worth.

Man, rappers go to jail
all the fucking time.

It's no big deal.

It's like a part
of doing business.

How you holding up?

I'm good.

You know, try to keep busy.

I do a lot of writing
to pass the time.

- That's good.
- How's Fernando and Diaz?

I haven't even seen them.

I've been busy.

- I have a baby girl.
- Wait, what?

- Yeah.
- Are you serious?

Yeah, beautiful baby girl.

She's six weeks old.

I can't wait to meet her, bro.

When you get out of here
just come through.

Yeah, so sure, you know I mean...
I mean, I got like a year

and some change left
and you know, time flies.

- I feel you.
- Yo, um, you heard my new album?

What album?

I dropped my second album.

It's the one I recorded
before I got in here.

It came out last week.

No, no I didn't even know
you dropped an album

but I've been busy
with the baby and stuff so...

Yeah, yeah, no it's all good,
it's all good yeah.

That's crazy.

It's gotta be like a lot
of long sleepless night, right.

- Yeah.
- Yeah, I always thought

you were going to be
the first one with a baby.

Maybe, I don't know.

Hey.

Remember when you did that video
and you told your dad

you got your cousin pregnant?

Hell yeah, man,
that shit was hilarious.

He beat both of our asses.

- That was a good video.
- Yeah.

- That was my favorite one.
- Wow.

You um...

you've been by the house?

You've seen my mom?

She's not doing too good.

Yeah, you know when they told me
I had a visitor I...

- I thought maybe...
- No, she's not coming.

- My pop came through though.
- Yeah.

Yeah,
he said this is good for me.

Made me a man.

We're rooting for you, bro.

I know, I know.

You know,
when I get out of here, man

thing's are going
to be different.

You know, what I mean.

Your little baby girl,

she's never gonna have
to need or want for anything.

I promise you that.

Stay focused.

He was on the internet everyday.

Everyday pushing,
grinding, hustling,

showing up at parties,
having other people post

and like his shit,
like everything.

The bid and the whole hype
about the bid

was gonna create clout.

Nobody gave a shit.

Nobody cared because
just as he went

and did your bid for that
there's 50 other

young kids doing other shit

even more ridiculous
on the internet everyday.

You have a collect
call from Benito Cruz.

Yo, what's up,
I've been trying to reach you

for the last two days.

Sorry, pimping,
it's been busy over here.

Hey, um Zeus and his boys say

they haven't received
any deposits.

Oh yeah.

Your account dried up.

Dried up? Whatcha mean dried up?

- No more money.
- But my album just came out

- last week.
- Yeah, it didn't do too well.

But you said it was good.

I thought it was good.

But with nobody here to promote,
no shows, no radio run

there's no traction.

Guess out of sight out of mind.

Yo, you told me
that I'd be taken care of

plus you said that this would be
bigger for my career

then last time.

Yeah, well shit don't always
go as planned, big dog.

Then you need to get me
the fuck out of here, okay.

I didn't have anything to do
with this kid getting stabbed.

- You know that.
- Look, I gotta go.

No, no, no,
don't fucking hang up.

- Everything gonna be all right.
- Tony, don't fucking...

You expect one thing
because people told you,

"Don't worry I got you,
I'm gonna hold you down

when you looked up, trust me,

this my people in here,
this is good.

And you go in the spot like that

and you have nobody or nothing.

It changes the whole dynamic.

So I'm really... it's sad

but I'm not surprised
at the outcome.

Good morning,
I'm meteorologist Maria Marple

and temperatures
early this morning

starting of at 70 degrees...

It's Monday.

It's like around 9 Am.

I remember waking up
to a series of texts

and notifications.

This girl's on the other line.

She's like "Hey, did you hear?"

Uh...

I was like damn.

Fuck.

Sorry guys.

Breaking news, Benito Cruz,

known to the rap community
as Lil Tito.

Good evening everyone,
here's what's happening.

The rapper known
as Lil Tito is dead.

According to sources the
rapper known as Lil Tito

was discovered dead
earlier this morning

outside his prison cell.

The rapper, whose real name
is Benito Cruz,

passed away from
four fatal puncture wounds.

The rapper was known for his
controversial videos and music.

Benito Cruz plead guilty
earlier this year

to the club stabbing
of rapper...

You were one of the few people
who had access

and the ability
to not only guide him.

Do you feel that you could've
stopped this from happening?

No, I don't have
any remorse in my heart.

And I don't feel it was my job

to guide him
in the right direction.

That was... I'm not his parent.

I was a business partner
and you know...

promotor, I was helping him.

- His career.
- But you also told him

to promote the negativity,
right?

Again, that's business.

Fuck me? Fuck you.

I'm hotter than these rappers.

Hey, that shit lit, bro.

I love Lil Tito,
I miss Lil Tito.

It's just weird when
you're used to seeing someone

on the timeline everyday.

You know what I'm saying,
following all the crazy shit

that they do,
it makes you feel like

you're part of their lives.

You know what I'm saying.

And then out of nowhere
they're just gone.

Benito has always been
in his own world.

It's... it's you know, I was
just happy to be apart of it.

You know?

He was...

he was crazy and it was always...

it was always something
crazy but it was fun.

You know.

Everyone used to say
how special Benito was.

His teachers said
that he had the potential

to be extraordinary.

I wish that my son
wasn't special.

I wish that nobody
knew who he was.

I wish that he was a normal boy

who grew up to be
an ordinary man.

Because then he
would still be alive.

I said...

Benito, why do you do
all these crazy things?

And he said...

Momma...
