Plot[]
The chapter begins with Lammy running down the corridor to her show, explaining that she was late because she had a stomach ache and went to the bathroom, but there was a long line at the gas station, and the four familiar faces waiting there had offered to rap for it, but Lammy declined.
She finally makes it to her show, just as Katy announces MilkCan's new vocalist, Chop Chop Master Onion. Katy passes Lammy her guitar, which she catches shortly after. After the show, it is revealed that Lammy had been holding a vacuum cleaner instead of her guitar. Embarrassed, she asks Chop Chop Master Onion what to do, to which he asks her what she's afraid of. She tells him about her guitar, and he explains that he had lost his Dojo, but it still remains in his mind, and has a casino. He reassures her that she has nothing to lose.

Stage[]
The song takes place on a large, wooden stage with carious colored spotlights at the edge. More spotlights can be seen on the ceiling, and on the back wall is a large "MilkCan" sign.
Mode Differences[]
Cool: Chop Chop Master Onion will kick all of the walls and ceiling off the room, which is a flashback to Stage 1: Chop Chop Master Onion's Rap in PaRappa The Rapper.
Bad: The screen starts getting wavy and the instrumental will start to echo a bit.
Awful: The screen gets even wavier and the echoing gets even worse.
