This experiment resulted in a lot of hesitant "Oh shit, it's . . . a paper plate!"lyricism, but it makes for surreal, compelling drama when a hardass dude looking to outshine Big Daddy Kane is forced to wax rhapsodic about . . . a rubber ducky.

Then he ripped through "Ain't No Half-Steppin' " to rampant crowd elation. A little half-steppin', though, can sometimes be more fun.
