Battle Rap sent me a demo.

It was really good.

I thought you just stabbed me in the back and forgot all about me. So...
16
I know you want to sign me.
17
Easy.
18
Slow down.

45
Well, I'm happy you changed your mind.
46
And you should never let someone else stop you from pursuing your dreams.
47
Yeah, I won't.
48
And if I can help a terrible rapper like Mr. Battle get signed with one of my songs,
49
I can sure do the same for myself.
50
Yeah.
51
Lele, you need to come back.
52
You're not going to find him this way.
53
It's all a part of my plan.

68
Rebecca, are you spying on me again?
69
Sorry, Dylan, I can't let Sadie down.
70
Going live in three, two.
71
Sup, y'all, it's your girl, Lele.
72
Me and Dylan got scammed into buying fake Zini and we need your help.
73
What are you doing?
74
Gotta go.
75
You just thought the whole world my business.
76
How'd you even get in my room?
77
I, uh, the window.
78
Look, Lele, now everybody's laughing in the comments.
79
Why do you care what they think about you?
80
What matters is what you think about you.
81
What I think?
82
I think you made a bad situation worse.
83
I'm trying to help.
84
You can help by leaving me alone.
85
Lele, I never want to see you again.
86
Like, never, never?
87
Never, never.
88
Wow.
89
Okay, then.
90
Like never never never Wow,
91
okay Hey, if I told you what happened you wouldn't believe me.
92
I can't believe these only big palazines Yeah,
93
six law What are you doing here?
94
I thought I told you I didn't want to see you again.
95
I know.
96
That reminded me of Drake.
97
That's because I got my hands on a Drake beat,
98
so it was easy to mimic his flow.
99
Fake Drake?
100
This guy's hilarious.
101
What do you want, Lele?
102
People only fake laugh when they're feeling real guilty.
103
Look, I'm sorry for going live on your account.
104
Okay, I'm sorry for sneaking into your room,
105
stealing your phone, and going live in your account.
106
I was just trying to help us get out of this mess.
107
It's all my fault.
108
I'm sorry too, Lele.
109
I shouldn't have snapped on you like that.
110
And besides, that fake zini looks so real,
111
I even thought it was real.
112
Yeah, that scammer copied Paolozini's flow bar for bar.
113
Facts.
114
That's it!
115
What's it?
116
You copy Drake's flow on a Drake beat.
117
Yeah, so.
118
So that means the scammer is buying real palazzini to make fake zini,
119
and there's only one place you can get it.
120
The pop-up!
121
Exactly.
122
We should go to the pop-up.
123
They always say criminals will turn to the scene of the crime.
124
But we can't get in there without tickets.
125
Bam!
126
Those are blank, Lele.
127
It was for a dramatic effect.
128
The real tickets are on my phone.
129
How do.. do I even want to know?
130
Bethany joined my live and she seen the comments and felt bad.
131
So she had her dad hook us up with some tickets.
132
Now, let's go catch this crook.
133
Bless up, how you doing?

but we've been placed in charge of his care, so.
264
And we just want to make sure that he's in a stable and...
265
Yes, yes.
266
And so at this time,
267
we think it's best that we might...
268
Uh, uh...
269
What are you doing?
270
He likes his rapping.
271
Maybe he'll like my dancing.
272
Oh, I don't know if he's gonna like that.
273
No, no, this is nice.
274
But you should try.
275
You know what I'm saying?
276
Just try, yeah.
277
Yeah, yeah, yeah, cuz that's gonna show the versatility, you're saying?
278
It's just a new generation.
279
It is, it is, but the old generation started.
280
Yeah!
281
Yeah!
282
There should be no new school,
283
it wasn't for the old school.
284
Honey, honey, yeah, the grass is wet.
285
Mm-hmm.
286
Okay, do me a favor,
287
Becca, and take Dylan and Charlie up to your room, please.
288
Okay, but it's under-shumigation since Grandma left.
289
Come on, everyone, let's do the sprinkler.
290
Nope.
291
Oh, that's, that thing is whack.
292
I'll be back in a minute, DJ.
293
Yeah, make sure we stay in contact.
294
Yes, I am.

We the best.
302
We the best.
303
Yes, yes, we the best.
304
Once again, we feel like it's best to give him a stable home first.
305
I'm gonna be honest.
306
I have two boys, so I get it.
307
We worry that he's a bad influence on our son.
308
Oh, yeah, that boy shouldn't rap.
309
I have a real talk.
310
Oh.
311
No, but it's love though.
312
Oh, but it's love.
313
No, it's love.
314
Yeah.
315
Okay.
316
But this is the paperwork for the house.

And remember, it's for my mother.
318
Please keep this quiet.
319
Keep it on the low.
320
Yes, please.
321
Before I go, can I say goodbye?

360
They so lame, man.
361
No, no, no, they're not lame.
362
They're very smart.
363
They got your best interests.
364
I agree with them.

385
Face it, our label's over before it even got started.
386
What?
387
It's not over.
388
We just need to be better partners.
389
I got to start trusting you when you step into my creative lane,
390
because you're only trying to help.
391
Look, we tried and it didn't work.
392
If you just trust me to step into your business lane,
393
I think I still know how to get Pierre Warner bless her track.

It's about time that you see me winning.
395
It's about time that you see me winning.
396
It's about time that you see me winning.
397
All right.
398
Um, Mr. Pierre Bourne, sir.
399
I think it's good, but can we do it again?
400
I know I said I'd do this for free,
401
but I really pushed y'all up.
402
Okay, that's how you feel.
403
Why'd the music stop?
404
Mr. Pierre says he doesn't want to lay down any more verses. Is that right?
405
Yes, ma'am.
406
Well, I guess I'd have to tell your grandma that you don't want to help my grandbabies.
407
You know my grandma?
408
Uh-huh.
409
I'm sorry.
410
We're running back.
411
Yeah.
412
Thanks, Grandma.
413
Yeah, we couldn't have done this without you.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
