Quote from the show:
"If you come to the club and you wanna hear a specific song but the crowd is not with you. You can't just go where you want to. You gotta build 'em up. They goin' on a ride with you. And when you get where you want to, you can whatever you want. You can turn it into a family reunion." - Donte
