The quoted lyrics are taken from the song "Dear Diary" by Cha Cha. This particular verse of the song doesn't have a direct meaning or message. Instead, it's an audio snippet that was sampled from a TV broadcast, which features a group of people discussing a producer who had just worked on Mase's album. One person is shocked that the producer worked with Mase and declares that the producer has sold out, while another person defends Mase's talent. The exchange ends with a producer confessing that he indeed worked with Mase and that the rapper has achieved success in his career.
The inclusion of this audio clip in the song is likely meant to be a commentary on the music industry and how even those considered outsiders or rebels can be co-opted by the mainstream. The producer's confession also suggests that artists must make compromises in order to achieve success, and that the pursuit of commercial gain can sometimes come at the cost of artistic integrity.
