When the beat fire but ... starts rapping

A phrase used when the song has a good beat but the rapper (...) on it ruins it.

Originally used on the internet with different phrases, it became popular in a different format in late 2023.
Starting off as an untrue statement about young Richmond, Virginia-based artist, Nettspend, the term quickly blew up on Twitter and started being used for other artists.

The first seen use of this new saying was from X user @kanjlrou on November 21, 2023.

Bob: That new Ice Spice song is ass. The beat was good though.
Bobby: When the beat fire but ... starts rapping

Im 'Bout to get Started

To do horrible and I am absolutely horrible in a Super Smash Bros but the opponent on discord throws out an insult about your mother. Thus leading to you gaining plot armor and hitting the wildest combo finishing with a spike directly to the opponents face causing them to get sent into a spiral of losing by sheer intimidation alone. However, to do an "Im 'Bout to get Started" correctly one must say "Im 'Bout to get Started" out loud for God to hear and thus bless you with plot armor. For Newton's third law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. So one must have their mother insulted for the "Im 'Bout to get Started" clause to kick in. It is like a complex math equation. Im 'Bout to get Started can also work in person in certain circumstances however the previous criteria of a mother insult plus saying out loud "Im 'Bout to get Started" must be met.

Person A : You called my mom a what?!
Person B: A COW!
Person A: "Im 'Bout to get Started"
