[Intro Skit] [Karl] Hey what's going on, I'm Hot Karl, I'm here to see VP Serch [Receptionist] Go right ahead, the door's open [Karl] Thanks a lot, I'm gonna walk right in there [Serch] Karl, what's up man, how you doing man? [Karl] What up, it's good to see you, Serch- [Serch] Listen, I got somebody on three, hold on. Sheila... [Karl] Okay- [Serch] What is- ayy, Dre! Wait, I can't hear him, where's he at? [Karl] Hey Serch, I thought of some new material- [Serch] Listen, hold on one second John, I know, I got you, hold on [Karl] Okay, alright [Serch] Where's he, in St. Barts? With the family? Alright, listen: I'm gonna call him back and- [Karl] Oh, that's dope, Serch, I see that- [Serch] Yo Karl, just give me a second bro [Karl] Oh [Serch] Dre, I'm gonna call you back. One [Verse One] [Serch] It's my man Hot Kizzle, take a load off, have a seat How you feeling, big dog? [Karl] Well, good, I think... [Serch] Listen, congratulations, I just heard you got signed [Karl] I had to stop by, you were my favorite back when you rhymed [Serch] Well that was a long time ago, when the rhymes were more slow KDAY was on our radio, and rappers didn't make dough, but yo [Karl] Creatively I really wanted to discuss- [Serch] Listen, I been thinking of a formula ever since you signed with us [Karl] Oh, a formula, like Serch's D.O.C.- [Serch] Now listen! Don't you get snappy with me [Karl] I was joking- [Serch] Now sit down, we gotta break it down, how to make you sound First we'll put some freestyles into college underground Put out two white labels, then two CD singles Combine 3rd Ba** choruses into two-line jingles Put you on alternative, sold-out tour Pop your collar! Triple platinum, maybe four! [Karl] Wait, hold on Serch, I'm not dissing, but are you listening? I'm hip-hop and I thought you were too, your point I'm missing Are you taking my vision to abuse it? I seen that sh** before on Suge Knight's "Behind the Music" I remember "The Cactus Album", you were a trend-setter Now you've sold out, you're like 2000's Jerry Heller [Serch] Jerry Heller? Let me tell you something, that kid got cash [Karl] Sorry, I'll pa**, even I know Cube got stuck in the a** [Serch] Yep, he got cups filled with stacks, cribs filled with plaques George-Karl, give it a chance! [Karl] Who, me in shiny pants, doing a dance? I can already hear those "sellout" chants! [Serch] No, "sold out", twenty thousand seats in advance! [Karl] No thanks, I'll stay underground and bust a B-boy stance I'm 'a stay true, even if my idol thinks I'm a joke And I'm a keep it real [Serch] Yeah, you're gonna keep it real, alright [Karl] That's right, I am 'a keep it real! [Serch] You're gonna keep it real broke! [Hook One] [Karl] It's all about the art of hip-hop, no matter if it sells [Serch] It's about that Carson Daly and that TRL [Karl] We should talk about my thoughts and ideas, gimme the chance to [Serch] We should talk about recouping that money we just advanced you [Karl] We should talk about the love and the history from the parks [Serch] Yes, "106th & Park", number one on their charts [Karl] Man, you, got it all wrong, you see, that's not where I'm from [Search] Listen, hip-hop is a business, stupid: don't act dumb [Verse Two] [Serch] See, I can understand your dilemma, you're struggling to hold your soul But after all that struggling: you need to let it go Free your mind and the dough will flow, it won't be far behind Just think about the platinum mountain, I've got knives to climb I'm feeling a little hesistant; you're being obstinate Credibility of cheddar [Karl] I think I'm lactose intolerant All right Serch, I see what you see, just another white MC Able to be packaged into cute little CDs I'm not another gimmick, don't sell me off my image Don't a**ume my marketing until my material is finished Cause no matter what happens it's about my satisfaction And without a plan B I'll be a**ed out like Toni Braxton I'm hip-hop 'til d**h, what are you insane? Imagine me with all gold teeth and huge platinum chain! [Serch] Hmm... platinum chain, matching fronts Featuring Cash Money and Manny Fresh, yes Karl, anything you want! [Karl] Come on Serch, I was joking! [Serch] I'm choking off the cash I'm 'a clear Karlito, Eminem ain't got sh** on you this year! [Karl] Aw, listen to this cat, pigeonholing me in rap Imagining me 'getting jiggy' just to equal SoundScan stats In fact, G, this could start some beef I'd rather quit rap than have an R&B joint with Tyrese! [Serch] Ah! Hot Karl, another brilliant idea! Quick, let me call Tony Money and start getting the single cleared! [Karl] Ahh dude, are you joking? What are you talking about? It's becoming obvious why Pete Nice kicked you out! [Serch] Don't get it twisted, I left first! [Karl] Well, Mr. Big Executive needs to finally get his ego burst! [Hook Two] [Karl] It's all about the art of hip-hop, no matter if it sells [Serch] It's about that Carson Daly and that TRL [Karl] We should talk about my thoughts and ideas, gimme the chance to [Serch] We should talk about recouping that money we just advanced you [Karl] We should talk about the love and the history from the parks [Serch] Yes, "106th and Park", a free ride on your jock! [Karl] Man, you, got it all wrong, you see, that's not where I'm from [Search] Listen, hip-hop is a business, man: don't act dumb [Verse Three] [Karl] So I came in here to talk, sit down, and show respect But I haven't been able to get out one word yet [Serch] Karl, you're not listening- [Karl] No, listen to me! I was able to get this far Able to pursue my pa**ion without being a pop star! [Serch] Karl, you're not- [Karl] SHUT UP! Right here I finally wanna get rid of ya Burned up in your office like Puffy after Nas's video! [Serch] Sheila, get Stoute on two- [Karl] Oh, like what's he gonna do? I'm not a thug but Hot Karl's gonna RUN RIGHT THROUGH! [Serch] YES!!! Big Karl, that's what I'm talking about! You came in an underground MC, but now look how you walking out! Now you understand my boy, you're ready for the plan Here's your first advance Chachi, a hundred fifty grand [Karl] Yo, that's a hundred fifty G's? All cash? [Serch] That's a hundred fifty thousand dollars, Karlito. A hundred fifty G's, can we go to the club now? [Karl] Yeah, let's get jiggy
