This Episode def needs to catch a couple of replays but off first watch i think it's just a play on all the Great black R&B/Pop stars & how much Fame & expectations wears on them. Even the part where fake MJ is talking about his brothers sickness, he ends it with maybe we could get a classic record out of it. The public doesn't care about the persons well being, under the mask (Altered face, Fully Masked, glasses On) their personal trials are asked to be put aside for greatness.
Imo opinion that's why dude became angrier when Darius started to ask for the Piano, Instead of him hearing dude out he just wanted the piano with colored keys. That's all the world/industry wants from the most famous black artist, Colored people playing the keys.Nobody cares about the sacrifices for excellence they just want the results
Also now that someone posted that meme that wasn't done until around the superbowl, i really wonder when this was recorded? Because The beginning where benny asks Darius about HipHop kind of reminds me Of The Quincy Jones Interview.
He Questioned Rap as an artform, specifically the lack of people who play instruments & know the music. When Darius answered Benny with "fun" he seemed disappointed, if they're referencing the Quincy Interview it's likely because Quincy went into Detail About How He studies music, it's a science almost it's way more than "fun"
