Death is a large form of entertainment, probably the largest. Watching death in different ways is entertaining for us, whether it's a high-speed chase and a guy grabs a helicopter and flies away.

Even them they have to know to respond to you differently in the hood cuz if people see something out of the character that they portray you. They'll try you.
