- Who is King Roscoe?
(RAPPING) I am the kid that is humble.
Persevering through the struggles.
Nicest kid you ever meet.
Don't mess with me, I'll bust your bubble.
Always ready to rumble-- not physically, but mentally.
Since we rolled the block where the gangsters and drugs be,
but when I go home that's where the kisses and hugs be.
It feels real nice to know somebody loves me.
That's why I always pray when things get ugly.
Wrote that the kid's 100 cause I want it bad.
But before I end this verse, here's a message to my dad.
Dear Dad, I feel this feeling that I
got, I can't [inaudible].
Got JD standing here with me while I'm spitting my rhymes.
And that's real. [hip-hop beat playing]
I think I should let them know.
I think I should let them know. Who the best?
They know. K-I-N-G Roscoe.
Who the best?
They know.
K-I-N-G. OK.
Money is a hobby, man. I got to.
Got to get me and fam out the hood.
Don't let them stop you.
Contest, the winner.
Game is the war, and the way that I'm spitting,
I make you surrender.
Yo. Who the best?
They know. K-I-N-G Roscoe.
Who the best? They know.
K-I-N-G Roscoe. Who the best?
They know.
K-I-N-G Roscoe.
Yeah. All right.
CROWD: Yeah. [clapping]
Lyrically, I am a beast, and I can't be tamed.
Got a whole bunch of bread, so I'm good for the grain.
And they want to take me out, because they
know I'm applying pressure.
Coming at your neck sideway.
Yeah, I'll wreck ya. MOM: All right.
Ay, ay. [music playing]
(RAPPING) Roscoe the king, and I'm too sharp.
You number one, boy you thought.
[laughs] I am a beast in the game, applying the pressure,
spitting the flames, sucker.
You thought you are, but you're not.
That probably why you was not on the top.
As far as we know you a flop.
Play on my money, D, or you get bopped.
Got your girl when I roll up.
And my flow real cold like a polar.
And I'm coming for the chain like a cobra.
Yeah. And the kid got drive, no motor.
Uh, uh.
Moulah, mommy.
We gettin' this money.
And Roscoe, I'm next, because he want the chain, sucker.
[applause] MOM: Yeah, Roscoe.
[music playing]
(RAPPING) Being like the [inaudible],, I'm spitting.
I'm getting this money. I'm minding my business.
Only one end to this competition.
Go to hospital cause I'm the sickest.
Do you think you winning, little buddy?
You tripping. Rep this game.
Really, like checking labels.
Nowhere to go.
No way to cope.
Don't need to post.
They can't step toe to toe.
We be king with the flow.
Never stop, always on go.
I can pen rhyme flow with my eyes closed.
I'm so main event, while you just a sideshow.
My composition book could be a rappers' bible, and--
Switch the beat, but no, I'm not stopping.
Go.
(RAPPING) I'm going to shine it.
Gotta believe.
I'm the topic of your conversation,
cause I'm fly like that.
I dab like that, yeah.
A star that has a sudden increase of brightness,
but then slowly goes back down to its original state.
That's what nova mean.
I'm from Atlanta.
That's the coldest thing.
Like young [inaudible],, I hit em from the right to the left--
make your shoulder lean.
[crowd erupts]
You got a fine sister.
I just want to kiss her.
Your mom was in the club twerkin'.
I guess she was a stripper.
[crowd gasps]
But the funny thing is, your uncle was in the club, too.
And he the one who tipped her.
[crowd gasps and laughs] CROWD: Ohh!
(RAPPING) This my house now, so no you can't hustle here.
You Puerto Rican.
Puerto Rican is too close to Mexican.
I don't think Trump wants you here.
[crowd erupts] CROWD: It's over.
It's all done.
It's over.
[inaudible]
You insane. [music playing]
KING ROSCOE: (RAPPING) It's the king, sucker.
I'm setting trends when I step through.
Steal the room when I step through.
I'm looking fly when I step through.
Avert your eyes when I step through.
Step through. - Oh.
OK, Roscoe.
KING ROSCOE: (RAPPING) Step through, huh.
Step through. BACKUP SINGERS: Yeah.
Yeah.
I got 'em shook like a seizure.
Words that I spit are so lethal.
Get on the mic, I'll go crazy.
I'm too sharp, like needle.
Eyes on the money, you call me a eagle.
I am the fly, you can't deny.
[inaudible] beyond, they up in my grind.
Momma taught me don't spare.
Daddy said don't underestimate the talent.
One, you gotta grab it.
Gotta get it.
Getting money is a habit.
So--
Yeah, you're looking at a king in a throne doing his thing.
[inaudible] the mess, cause you must
start now to catch up with me.
BACKING TRACK: To catch up with me, sucker.
I'm settin' trends when I step through.
Steal the room when I step through.
Step through. Huh.
- Ay. - Step through!
Step through!
KING ROSCOE: Step through.
Huh. Yeah.
Never been the type that go back and forth like a bobblehead.
Too young for a commitment.
Man, I'm trying to get these bench up, man.
And they're scared telling you in advance when it come.
I'm settin' trends when I step through.
Step through.
Yeah.
[crowd stomping and cheering]
[beat playing]
[applauding]
[girls screaming]
Um, the next person I'm gonna ask to leave the studio--
[dramatic music]
--is Roscoe.
Don't, don't-- don't look down.
You did great.
KING ROSCOE: These 13 weeks have been stressful-- it has ups
and downs, but it has overall been exciting
and I've learned a lot.
You did good.
