A, okay, o pila na, pila na kayo! O wag magkakagulo dyan. Pila lang. A, pag tinawag na ang pangalan nyo, wag na kayong mag ano pa, magusap-usap dyan pasok na kaagad kayo sa pinto, okay? Okay

O sino ba ang una? Salmonella. Sino ba ang Salmonella dito? (Salmonella: Sir, ser!). Pasok ka na nga!

Mr. Anderson: Okay, uh, so what's yer name?

Salmonella One: (with a local accent bordering on geeky)

Yo, my name is Salmonella One. I represent, yo, the, the intellectual rap, and... with metaphors and, and high falutin’ words. And uh, fuck the mainstream

Mr. Anderson:

Okay, hi. So, do your thang

Salmonella One (rapping):

Metamorphosis, neuro toxin is what I carry

Inevitable like relativity theory

It comes with the territory

I'm like Harry with his pottery

Unstoppable like an energizer bunny

Battery composed of nickel cadium

The calcium from the sacred milk of the golden cow

Hidden in the valleys of Mount Sinai

Die by the sword...

Unfold the hidden scroll

Protected by the evil trolls

Word is bang...

Staff:

Uh, okay, okay thank you. Uh, tawagan ka na lang naming, okay? Sino ba tong next? Uh... uh... OG Dogg. Sino yung OG Dogg dyan?

(OG Dogg: Yo, I'm right here!)

Uh, okay. OG Dogg! Pasok! (Enter!)

Mr. Anderson:

Introduce yourself

OG Dogg: (with a heavy, Americanised accent)

Yo, my name is uh, O-G D-O-double G. Straight off West coast, gangsta nigga

Mr. Anderson

Ayt, so what do you do?

OG Dogg:

Yo, representing all the gangstas all across the world. I'm representing the real hip hop music. Fuck that Nelly shit

Mr. Anderson:

Okay, okay. Now do your thing

OG Dogg:

Yeah, down for my cool with my gun in my hands

Spent time in the penitentiary

And my enemies want to burn me

But they can't see me ‘cause I'm a real G

Every year we have a gang anniversary

Can you feel me rolling up and down straight

Packing gauges ‘cause imma make you feel the heat

Can you feel me, can you feel me?

Uh huh

Staff:

Umm mmhmm, mmhmm ayos ayos. Ah, pero hindi ko naintindihan ‘yun, ah. (Umm hmm, good, good. But I didn’t understand any of that.)

Ah, anyways, ah, thank you and at ah, ang next natin ay sino ba 'to?... Si a, El Cabron. A, papasukin na yung El Cabron dito, okay?

Mr. Anderson:

Okay, so how about you? What's your name, boy?

El Cabron: (with a vernacular Pinoy accent)

Yo, this is El Cabron yo. Uh, representing uh the West side of the Moriones clan

Mr. Anderson:

Okay

El Cabron:

And um, uh.. puwede ba mag-Tagalog? (And uhm, can I use Tagalog?)

Mr. Anderson:

Fo sho. fo sho

El Cabron:

Ah, ‘yun. Yo, um, kamusta nga pala sa OG ko, si... uh, OG uh, Slight One. Sana po matanggap ako dito. Sana magustuhan nyo ako. (Oh, okay. Yo, um, I’d like to greet my OG, my…uh, OG Slight One. I hope I pass this audition. I hope you’ll like me.)

Mr. Anderson:

Ayt, we'll see, we'll see. Just do your thing, home boy

El Cabron:

Yo! El Cabron is the place to be

‘Wag mo ‘ko talikuran, face to me

Ang mga chikabebe binibigay ang number

Malakas daw ang dating ko na parang Lolo tander

Andito na naman, ang tyan walang laman

Pero okay lang yon idol ko si Superman

At sikat pa rin ako

Kamusta ang mga home boy

Di ako bading, hindiiii rin tomboy

Represent the real hip-hop game

Mga rapper ay aking shi-ne-shame

At mayroon akong...

(Interrupted: ah, okay, okay)

Yo!

Staff:

Sumasakit na ang ulo ni Mr. Anderson

Balik na lang kayo bukas at tatawagin namin kayo, okay, okay, okay?
