One of the funniest things you'll watch today.

For some reason, throughout the history rap music, there has always been always been a weird relationship between the rapper and the sound engineer. It happens so regularly that sometimes the two will have a full-blown conversation while the performer is recording a song, and it very often makes the final cut. And these sketches made by television writer Caitie Delaney perfectly capture the weird phenomenon for exactly what it is: bizarre. Sometimes it can be a light jovial bit of banter, but sometimes it can be strangely aggressive, like when Fat Joe was extremely displeased because he thought his mic wasn't on: https://twitter.com/caitiedelaney/status/1105521970060259328 Or sometimes it can be a polite encounter, like when Eminem calmly informed the team in his studio that he couldn't hear the snare drum in his headphones: https://twitter.com/caitiedelaney/status/1105569903245910016 But sometimes they can be downright terrifying, like this Chief Keef rant: https://twitter.com/caitiedelaney/status/1105577118618943488 Sometimes you just have to let Jay-Z know that you're not going to be able to "unleash the flutes on 'em": https://twitter.com/caitiedelaney/status/1105929722733588480 Finally, she pretends to be in the studio with Kanye West, which is always going to be an experience. https://twitter.com/caitiedelaney/status/1105700394150223872 Incredible stuff.
