:04:36
You better give me a hug.
Give me a hug.
:04:38
I need a hug.
Give me a hug.
:04:40
You don't have to dance.
:04:41
I want a hug from
a pretty girl like you.
:04:43
You are so pretty.
Come here, girl.
:04:48
How'd it get started?
:04:50
Tommy started it in '92. 1992.
:04:53
He started off
by hisself at first.
:04:55
What's up, baby?
:04:57
Come on, you guys.
You guys ready to party?
:04:59
When he first started out,
he had a little black bucket...
:05:01
and had his little sign
on the side.
:05:04
He was just starting out,
but he's come a long way.
:05:06
All you hear is,
"Tommy, Tommy dancing.
:05:08
"Tommy this. Tommy that.
I wanna go to Tommy Academy."
:05:11
I have a ten-year-old son...
:05:12
that's trying to get
into the academy.
:05:14
So I think
that it's wonderful...
:05:16
and he needs to keep up
the good work...
:05:18
and he needs to be commended for
the things that he's doing...
:05:20
for the black community,
Hispanics.
:05:21
He has marvelous parties...
:05:23
so somebody need to call
and give a party...
:05:25
'cause he give bomb parties.
:05:28
Tommy is a ghetto celebrity,
'cause you're gonna see Tommy...
:05:31
somewhere
in your neighborhood...
:05:32
in the middle of your streets,
waking you up...
:05:35
because his music gonna be loud.
:05:37
When my mom was in jail,
he took me in...
:05:41
and he made sure
I got to school.
:05:44
Whatever I needed,
he made sure I was OK.
:05:47
If I wasn't dancing for Tommy...
:05:48
I'd probably be doing
some bad things right now.
:05:50
I fear for him sometimes,
though...
:05:51
'cause a lot of people
are jealous...
:05:53
and they're
really hatin' on him.
:05:54
If something happened to him,
we'd all be right there.
:05:56
We all gonna suffer.
:05:58
He screams at us.
:05:59
He screams, "You in trouble."
