the get down cheat sheet: episode 5

You have wings, learn to fly

Episode 5 is all about the build up. But let's begin untangling the crazy ass chaos that episode 4 left strand by strand. First we know that the coked out producer that got brought back to life is now playing his heart out trying to convince everyone that he didn't just snort up $40,000. Spoiler alert he did. But he was saved by a pastor who was throwin' stones at everybody, but one thing he forgot is that when you start throwin' stuff, people usually throw stuff back. But instead of yo momma jokes, it was the truth, which is way funnier when you have an instigator or a hypeman. But forreal he was tryna throwin some crazy shade, like I heard you got saved......... in prison. Or I heard you knocked up two chics.........and didn't take care of your illegitimate kids. Fast-forward everybodys happy and recordin' songs about 'feelin you inside' while inside of a church.

Now that thats straightened out we head back to were we left off with this shadowy figure with an afro. And then that one dude turns on the light right when 'Back that Thang Up Comes' on and know she wanna act Christian... Ohh my bad, just had a flashback. But forreal back to the party again somebody turned on the light in the party and it was none other than the legend himself DJ Cool Herc. Which we find out that his brother is actually the 'King of Cassettes' also known as the bootlegger chasing people thru parties with a sword. Zeke freestyles his way of out of gettin kicked out the party, who knew that beat Matthew Mcconaughey made with his chest on 'Wolf on Wallstreet' was the same chest beat niggas use to freestyle, must be a New York thing. So after all of that the Get Down Brothers are challenged to a DJ crew battle with Cool Hercs crew the Notorious 3, who are known for there hard heating bass and speakers that can shake the concrete. Grand Master Flash forgives Shaolin Fantastic after he finds the bootlegger, and lets him know that this DJ battle is not to be takin lightly, and know that music is everything, and should be the only reason that he should want to be a DJ.

Like I said before this episode is the build up for the ending.

• Zeke realizes his internship in the World Trade Towers is not only an opportunity for him, but an opportunity for the white people looking to use his face and market him around as the token Black and Puerto Rican kid from the projects. Basically get the Black and Mexican vote.
• The chic got her a demo and now is on her way to being a Disco star (Spoiler alert Disco don't do that well in the 80's)
• We see a master plan for the DJ battle coming together, maybe rappin, maybe singin, maybe use the chics record you just smashed, who knows.

But most of all we learn is that:

Shaolin's the DJ that we call conductor, cause Shaloin Fantastic's a bad muther-riki-riki-riki

We almost there ya'll Episode 6, I don't know about ya'll but I have a feelin that it only gets crazier. So tune in again, because It's only just begun.
