BEHIND THE SCENES: The autotuned stuff at the end about ROI and conversion rates was totally ad libbed at the recording studio! The guys thought I should “add some R Kelly sh_t”… now it’s my favorite part! …they also thought I should nix the Rosa Parks line, which is my second favorite part. The entire budget: about 0, mostly for the recording studio. I bartered with Scott for designing his website, and got a bunch of friends to be my office posse. The dumpster bit was another ad lib. We freaked out a couple of the locals. The barbershop… nice guys. Let us shoot there for , making that the most expensive haircut of my life. Apparently, they’ve been in a few other hip-hop videos too. Guess that’s life in the ATL! The girl in the beige suit is my girlfriend, Marissa. She’s so awesome! LYRICS: Yo!
