The premise

Here’s the bit.

In a recording studio, Ludacris tells two label producers and a sound engineer that he has found the perfect guest to finish his album: an underground R&B artist called Blizzard Man. The man who walks in, played by Andy Samberg, delivers rambling, childish raps about parties, hot tubs, champagne and being famous, while the producers wince and the engineer cuts the music in disbelief. Ludacris keeps hyping him as a genius and insists on take after take, comparing him to soul legends. By the end the producers have been won over, and a Billboard chart shows the song at number one on the rap chart.

Highly quotable.

Do not judge a book by its cover. My man can blow.

Your grandfather must have been Marvin Gaye mixed with a little Stevie Wonder
