Beats & Rice
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
Beats & Rice, the hip-hop group of Sam.I.Am, Scuba and Lemon Lime, rails against the system in a gritty protest video until label boss Jason signs them and swears the message will stay untouched. He immediately adds a new singer, Lady D.I.Y., and turns their anthem into a cell-phone plan commercial, then replaces Lemon Lime with the shirtless Remon Rhyme for a sexed-up workout video. With the money gone, the mansion foreclosed and the whole band hooked on drugs, Jason pitches one last untapped market, small children, and the group's final release is a psychedelic potty-training song featuring a puppet called Space Baby, ending in an explosion while Sam.I.Am is still asking what the message is.

Hi. I'm a Christian minister.
The message is hit the kids where it counts.
It's as much cash as we can grab.

Notes from the archive.
Beats & Rice was a one-off sketch that never returned on the series; TVOvermind ranked it ninth among the funniest moments of Kroll Show's first season.
