Happy Holidays


Happy holidays from each of us here at True Story. We know we have been MIA for a while, but that's just what happens around this time of year. A few key thoughts from a few weeks off:

-Sorry about the Photoshop contest, or lack thereof. It will be coming soon, I-Biz and our submission will be ready very soon.

-George W. is almost done, and that's probably great news for anyone reading this.

-Sleeping until 3pm is not healthy, your mother is probably right.

-Whatever anyone tells you, getting a Baconator at Wendy's is not acceptable, even if you get a Diet Coke.

-Not sure what's in the fridge? Well keep looking, he will be back soon. He's just sleeping off a really long hangover.

-Not quite sure what happened to White Cassel and our Patriots, but we blame Brett Favre. We will be having a Playoff/Super Bowl prediction post very soon.



-Please check out our friends at Buntology.com: its written by some nice looking females, its another blog, its very good, and its full of content containing not quite as much nonsense as ours, but that might be just what you need. Speaking of nonsense:




Stick to popping champagne, Jimmy. Happy Holidays.

(Un?)necessary Rap Wednesdays

Go 'head,

Act like you don't like it, America

Act like you don't know the words

Act like it isn't on the iPod

I mean, Lil'WheezyAna , the man himself freestyles on it, so you KNOW it's good

That's right, it's that Rick Ross first mainstream single that you know you like:




Still don't believe me? Just see how you feel, blasting this in your car or headphones and act/speak like RickyRoss for a day

Includes, but is not limited to:
-Screaming CHUUUCH or M-I-YAYOOOOO as a point of emphasis
-Create logos and chains with nothing but your face on it
-Refuse to talk about anything else besides how sweet you are, or how much "weight" you move in a day


Still not convinced?

Well then, why don't you just try and use it as an entrance song, in everyday situations?



BOSS.

"I never used to believe in role models. But this video, this man, this feat, changed all that."

...a fitting quote on the commentary section of this video:



I mean, who would have thought that a Catholic school encouraged such behavior. The music is very appropriate. The University of Notre Dame should be very, very proud.

Is Adidas finally competing with Nike's advertising?



We have NOT stopped watching this on YouTube. This is like the perfect storm of a good commercial: great concept, great music, great product, etc. The ridiculous cast of celebrities is endless, with the likes of David Beckham, Method Man, Redman, Missy Elliot, DMC, Russell Simmons, Katy Perry(that tongue thing is mean), the chick from The Ting Tings,Young Jeezy, our poster boy Kevin Garnett himself, along with numerous others. Talk about covering all of your bases. Its like playing Where's Waldo every time you watch it. Word is this was shot in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and there is even an Invitation....

But the part that we feel brings the most to the table is this remix of Frankie Valli's "Beggin" that is the soundtrack for the commercial:



Your welcome. I mean, we will have it ready on our iTunes for when KG accepts an invitation to True Story's party. Uhhh, moving on?

I mean, Nike still reigns supreme with their ads but feel free to play this over and over again to help tell yourselves that your parties kind of suck in comparison. That is, if you're still reading this website since our posting of Busta Rhymes' latest spectacle.

(Un?)necessary Rap Wednesdays

(not so safe for workski.)

Busta Rhymes has officially lost his mutha$#%@!n mind.

Legit.

This brings dumbed-down rap and the WTF factor to a WHOLE new level.

Behold, "Arab Money"




Holy Hell.


Is BusaBus serious? Like, Really? That's the Move?

and the most interesting part? Trevor George Smith Jr is a Muslim

Now, we here at True Story don't give a damn whether anyone is Black, Green, Blue, White or Orange, or any other Titans we are trying to Remember.

No Sir, and we do appreciate classic hip-hop, ridiculous rap, and everything in between.

and hell, we're no strangers to music with middle eastern tones or inspiration, just like Busta is no stranger to making crazy music and coining ridiculous money phrases (Scrooge McDuck Paper, anyone? Try 2:10)

but, what Busta?

Dude's causing more buzz than when he shaved off his signature dreads in a video

His explanation before anyone loses their minds over this:

"It's called 'Arab Money.'...'Take the Money' or 'Arab Money'," (Busta) said before speaking on his interpretation of the song. "Sometimes, people like to twist things. We ain't mockin' the culture. we ain't tryin' to be disrespectful. Ain't no racism going on right here. If you listen to the song, you see that we are actually acknowledging the fact that the Arabian culture, a middle East culture is one of the few cultures, that value passing down hard work riches that's been built amongst the family."

"It would be nice if a lot of other cultures did the same thing. Feel me? So, I would like for it to be like that in my culture where we could build things to the point where we got so much that we don't need to rely on other cultures to contribute majorly in a financial way, or in whatever other way, to societies, communities or whatever governments we might live in. So, we are actually biggin' up the culture. At the end of the day, I want to be like that. I think a lot of us want to be like that."


Our Question:
Who the f#$^ is Ron Browz?

Wonka: Drug Baron

Thanks to Young Albatross for sending us this. To say this is well done would be a drastic understatement. The boat scene was amazingly creepy to begin with and warrants this parody. Incredible.....in terrible taste, but incredible.

True Story (Un?)neccessary Photoshop Contest

Ah yes, who doesn't love Photoshop? We love it so much that we are starting a periodical contest between one of us and Photoshop Guru I-Biz. The challenge is this: there will be a randomly chosen picture taken from Google. Each contestant will take this photo and do what they must to it. Seeing how the picture is already going to be ridiculous, this first contest will be open to all creativity and has no theme. Here is the initial picture:



Wow. I can only imagine what kind of sick things you all are going to see come from this. I mean, try not to laugh when you look at this. We dare you.


Stay tuned....
