The “We Need Rent Money” (WNRM) team believes in going the extra mile.
So when the Multi Dimension Independent Film Festival (MDIFF) called our movie an “Exceptional Achievement” we found it hard to believe.
And when MDIFF said, “We love your project” we kvelled and asked ourselves, “How do we match this much love?”
Well, one of the lead actors in WNRM, Sampson Ray Simon came up with the solution.
Let’s write, sing and send them a rap song.
Blake Laitner said, “Brilliant!
I bet MDIFF never had a rap song written about them.”
Well, here it is:
“The Exceptional Achievement Rap” lyrics by Sampson Ray Simon
Try to rap along with us.
We Need Rent Money, fillin’ the seats wit’
New awards, Exceptional Achievement!
Two trailers out, these are elite clips,
The comedy slapz, you wouldn’t believe it!
We Need Rent Money in ya film festivals,
Smoke all ya’ weed, eat all ya’ edibles!
Laitner Productions with a new invention,
and Exceptional Achievement from Multi-Dimension!
Well done, Sampson!
We knew you were a rapper’s delight.
And Multi Dimension you are the best.
And who would have guessed, that I too, could lay down some rap.
Here’s my song on how it feels to be rejected by a film festival.
“The Film Festival Rejection Rap”
Rejectors you know nothing about going that extra mile
So you don’t even deserve to get our 420 smile
Now you be wishin’ we wrote a rap about your fest
Ain’t gonna happen becauz you ain’t the best
Now for those festivals sendin’ us a reject letter,
Telling us other films are so much better
Now you be wishin’ you had given us a prize
Instead of makin’ up all those fancy lies
Now you’d take a cap in the knee
Rather than tellin’ our film to go take a pee
Well suckas it ain’t going hap
You ain’t neva goin’ to get your own rap.
Now you wanna be clapin’
But you ain’t getting no free rappin‘
You made us “reel” sad
Now we be making you “reel” mad
Now that you be leavin‘
Let’s call the whole thing even
Wow! That felt real good.
Now, I wish I did a rap about all those colleges that rejected me.
