Beat

I found this joke on the Comedycentral. What does 'beat' mean here? And why will it be dangerous? My guess is ... it means heartbeat???

Aziz Ansari: Rap Producer Boast
I heard this guy going around talking about how he was this big rap producer, and he was just going around and boasting and bragging. And in one of those bragging sessions, I heard him just tell somebody, 'Hey, hey -- why don't you try making four beats a day for two summers?' What a dangerously specific challenge that is.

A beat is the percussion (drums or "beatbox") behind a rap song.

His saying that it's dangerous is sarcasm.
