Promo info about the contest..

In June 2007, Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) announced the Chop Chop Master Onion's Rap Showdown contest to promote the video game PaRappa the Rapper. Contestants were to film themselves performing one of three PaRappa songs a Capella. The grand prize winner of the contest would receive two PSPs and an all-expenses-paid trip to Seattle for the 2007 Penny Arcade Expo.

The contest was of monumental importance as it would achieve goals for Christian Weston Chandler on multiple fronts. Beyond his innate desire to win contests by making an ass of himself on film, Chris hoped to bestow one of the PSPs to his beloved Megan Schroeder and invite her to accompany him on the trip, thereby creating an opportunity for her to give in to her obvious passion for him. The potential benefits could not be understated. Failure to win the contest was not an option. To ensure nothing less than total victory, Chris elected to perform the Chop Chop Master Onion Rap. Despite claiming this was the only song he knew from the game, Chris clearly didn't know it all that well since he reads the lyrics to it while "performing," not bothering to rehearse/learn the lines.
