The Crew (2)

As May opened the door, 4 men stood up from the sofa. Like she wasn't nervous enough, they just stood there and stared for a minute. May tried to think of something clever to say to break the ice, but all that seemed to escape her lips was...

May: ( squints eyes ) It smells like straight weed in here...

Jay Rock: (Walks up to her and chuckles) You'll get used to it sooner or later. You must be May. I'm Jay Rock. (points at AB Soul) That's Herbert, but you can call him "AB" or "Soul". (points at Schoolboy Q) That's Quincy, but you can just call him "Q", (points at Kendrick Lamar) and that's just Kendrick.

Kendrick: Amazing introduction dawg, (Walks up to May and shakes her hand) so you're the one that's joining us.

Q: (Walks up to May and checks her out) Damn you kinda cute too, you sing or something?

May: (Backs up a little) I rap and sing...

Ab: Ohhh shit, I hope you ain't on no Nicki Minaj shit... We got enough of that...

May: (Laughs) No, How about I show you guys... Where is the recording booth?

Kendrick: Over here... (Raises eyebrows at the rest of the boys)

Q: I know one thing, she better be good... Right now, I'm not seeing it.

Jay: Anthony wouldn't have signed no dud.

AB: He signed Q.

Q: DaFuck?

Kendrick: (Laughs) Come on dawgs, let's see what she got...

As May walked into the recording booth, she was relieved to see that T.D.E.'s booth looked and worked almost exactly like the one she worked with at Andre's booth. She got started working on some sounds to go well with a quick freestyle. As she sat there experimenting with sounds, Kendrick just stared at her. He analyzed her facial expressions and found it funny when she found a beat nice she did a weird dance. He mimicked the dance.

Kendrick: (To himself) This better be good, I would hate for her to be kicked out. She's kinda cute.

May: Hey?

Kendrick: (snapped out of his thoughts) ... Huh?

May: I would prefer if you would step out while I record... First time ya know.

Kendrick: Oh, yeah. That's cool... (Leaves and looks through little window on door)...

May: I still see you...

Kendrick: ( laughs and scratches neck a little) right... (Walks off)

*** I will be using Chance The Rapper and Frank Ocean's music for Mahalah... I just feel that their music kind of matches the sound I want her to have... You're going to have to pretend it's a female rapping/singing the songs***

May: ( Opens the door ) Ok guys... I'm ready..

AB: Moment of truth, let's see...

May: (Closes the door after they all come in and have a seat)... Alright... (Plays Hiatus - Chance The Rapper ) ...

Kendrick: I like the beginning so far...

Q: (closes eyes and nods head) hmm...

May: (to herself) God please let them like it... (Crosses fingers)

The song ends and they sit in silence for about 5 minutes... They look at each other while May sits there waiting for their thoughts on the song... The anticipation is killing her slowly as they seem to be communicating amongst each other without saying a word.

AB: (stands up and smiles) ... Welcome to Black Hippy May...
