Embattled Toronto Mayor Rob Ford made an appearance Saturday night at a fundraising event forย the Beat Academy, a Canadian organization dedicated to "hitmakers in the making," which is slated to officially open its doors this spring.

Ford stepped behind the DJ booth and pressed dutifully on a drum machine's buttons in an attempt to make something that sounded like a rap beat. See another fun instance of his rhythm deficiencies here. (The time he danced with a choir at a black church, though, wins them all.)

Gawker astutely points out that in the video below, Ford walks into the event to Pusha T's "Numbers on the Board," a song about cocaine. It's a fitting introduction.

Keep 'em coming, Mayor Ford.
