A young man gets invited to a party with his girlfriend. But soon they get into a fight over money, and the man goes to the party angry.
At the time he isn't a professional rapper, but when he gets to the party he's drawn to the microphone. He takes off his coat and starts rapping. Even though he hasn't prepared ahead of time, each line he says seems as if it took years to write. He's rhyming in a style much more advanced than other rappers in the year 1986. The crowd goes crazy.
The rapper asks the DJ not to make any mistakes.
The DJ explains that he's playing dance music, and he asks the rapper if he'll still be able to rap when he starts scratching, etc. The rapper replies "indeed" and keeps rapping. Then the DJ and the rapper agree to form "Erik B and Rakim".
Then Rakim raps about the fight with his girlfriend that started this whole process.
