5When a hip-hop celebrity is implicated in a nightclub murder, [=McCoy=] and Southerlyn battle the flaks who attempt to insulate their client from any involvement or interrogation.
6----
7* AssholeVictim: Jerome Cabey was a cocaine dealer to support making his music, which wasn't very good. After his attempt to get a DJ job at the club failed, he threw money at Darryl Collins and called him a sell-out. Cabey then groped Allie Lawrence. Which lead to her shooting him.
8* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: Darryl Collins sadly speculates on this after we learn he is covering for Allie.
9-->'''Collins''': Yeah, well, they tell me I have to be hard to sell records. If I hadn't listened to that... maybe none of this would've happened.
10* HonorBeforeReason: Jack says he is impressed by Collins' chivalry at protecting Allie. In some cases, it seems to be "street cred" before reason.
11* KarmaHoudini: Allie Lawrence gets away with the shooting. Darryl Collins gets away with covering for Allie.
12-->'''Jack''': Apparently two careers are worth more than a person's life.
13* NotOnTheList: Done by the bouncer during the ColdOpen.
14* PopCulturalOsmosisFailure: Amusingly averted with Lenny.
15-->'''Green''': G-Train? ''The'' G-Train?
16-->'''Briscoe''': Even ''I'' know who G-Train is.
17* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: At the end, Jack jokes how the DA's office got "dissed."
18* RippedFromTheHeadlines: This episode is loosely based on Music/SeanCombs and the shooting at Club New York in 1999. In real life, rapper Shyne served 10 years in jail for the shooting.
