I want to introduce you to three very talented women.
Please welcome Holly Maniani.
That's Holly.
-And Jo [inaudible} -(audience cheers)
And Amber Gallego.
Each of these women is a nationally certified sign language interpreter,
and even more importantly, they have fun with it.
Thank you for being here.
Now, collectively, they've signed for The Wu Tang Clan,
Beastie Boys. Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Lil' Wayne and many more.
But tonight you're not doing this alone.
Tonight, this is a competition.
Tonight, each of you will take turns signing the song Black and Yellow
and it is time now for a sign language rap battle!
Let's do this!
(audience cheers)
Tonight's [inaudible], Wiz Khalifa, come on out!
(audience cheers)
Thanks for being here.
Ladies and gentlemen.
I should ask first, have you been a part
of a sign language rap battle before?
Yeah. No. Yeah. Sure.
(everyone laughs)
Will you clean up the lyrics for this particular event?
-No. -(Jimmy) You will not, okay. Good.
(laughs) That's perfect.
-Are you ready, Wiz? -Sure.
Are you ready, ladies?
We're ready!
Alright, you're gonna go one at a time.
You're gonna compete, it's gonna be great.
I'll leave it to you guys.
Holly, step forward. You are first.
Wiz, take it away! Here we go!
(audience cheers)
Yeah, uh huh, you know what it is
Everything I do, I do it big!
Yeah, uh huh, screamin' that's nothin'
When I pulled off the lot, that's stuntin'
Reppin' my town when you see me
You know everything
Black and yellow, black and yellow
I put it down from the whip
To my diamonds I'm in
Black and yellow, black and yellow
Black stripe, yellow paint
I hear they scared of it, but them bros ain't
Soon as I hit the club look at them face
Hit the pedal once, make the floor shake
Suede insides, my engine roarin'
It's the big boy, you know what I paid for it
And I got the pedal to the metal
Got you nigga checkin' game,
I'm ballin out on every level
Hear them haters talk
But there's nothing you can tell 'em
Just made a million
Got another million on my schedule
No love for em boy I'm breakin' hearts
No keys, push to start
Yeah, uh huh, you know what it is
Everything I do, I do it big
Yeah, uh huh, screamin' that's nothin'
When I pulled off the lot, that's stuntin'
Reppin' my town when you see me
You know everything
Black and yellow, black and yellow
I put it down from the whip
To my diamonds I'm in
Black and yellow, black and yellow
Got a call from my jeweler, this just in
And Bitches love me
'cause I'm messin' with their best friends
Not a lesbian, but she a freak though
This ain't for one night,
I'm shinin' all week, bro
I'm sippin' Cliquot and rockin' yellow diamonds
So many rocks up in my watch
I can't tell what the time is
Got a pocketful of big faces
Throw it up 'cause everybody
That I'm with tailored
Yeah, uh huh, you know what it is
Everything I do, I do it big
Yeah, uh huh, screamin' that's nothin'
When I pulled off the lot, that's stuntin'
Reppin' my town when you see me
You know everything
Black and yellow, black and yellow
I put it down from the whip
To my diamonds I'm in
Black and yellow, black and yellow
(audience cheers)
(Jimmy) Nicely done.
(Jimmy) Wow, that's...
Now, um...
-Well, they're all really good! -Yeah, they're awesome.
I mean, that was good stuff.
Do you have a sign language interpreter on stage with you?
Yeah, yeah. Sometimes I get pretty stoned.
I can't remember.
-(audience laughs) -Ladies...
I'm glad you mentioned that.
What is the sign for marijuana?
Pretty universal!
(laughter)
Alright, very good.
Wiz, who do you think is our winner tonight?
I wanna pick all of them!
Can they all win or is it--
(audience cheers)
Thank you, ladies!
That was it!
Our first ever sign language--
probably our last ever sign language rap battle!
We'll be right back with Johnny Depp!
