In 1995, aspiring rapper Jimmy Smith Jr. performs under the stage name "B-Rabbit".

Desperate for money, he requests extra shifts at his day job at a car factory, but his supervisor, Manny, bluntly declines because of Jimmy's habitual tardiness.

During a lunch break at work, one of Jimmy's co-workers performs a freestyle rap insulting his co-worker Paul due to his insinuated homosexuality, along with some of the other workers.
