Ralph takes a look at Bobby's album cover. "At least I look good." Bobby said.
"Why are you being so tough on yourself, man? It's a solid first album, Girlfriend's doing alright." Ralph replied.
"I wasn't trying to do alright, Rizz. I wanted to go gold, you know what I mean? Get on MTV, do commercials." Bobby said.
"You gonna get there." Ralph said.
"How? By singing high school shit?" Bobby takes a pull from the blunt. "I gotta come harder."
"Go harder?" Ralph asked.
"Harder." Bobby said.
Bobby takes out a boombox and The Show by Doug E Fresh and Slick Rick was playing, Bobby nods his head to the beat, Ralph joins along.
"So, you wanna rap now?" Ralph asked.
"Nah man, you feel that beat? You feel how it kicks? It makes you wanna dance. Yeah, but it's also rough uh-huh and it's smooth at the same time. It's me." Bobby explains.
"I don't know, Bob. That sounds more like me." Ralph leans back against his seat. Bobby chokes on his blunt and starts laughing.
"Man, imagine me singing over this shit, I'll kill it." Bobby says confidently.
"Bob, for this to work, I mean really work, you gotta get the right producer." Ralph said.
"Yeah, I need the realest, I want this, I mean I need somebody grimy, you know what i'm saying?"
