Truth Is Out Of Style

Many disparate things have come together to activate deeply stored things in my brain.

First there was a PvP strip that actually made me laugh. My immediate reaction was to adopt the name “Muppet Jesus” for my career as a hiphop artist.

Secondly there is the constant reinforcement from the world of politics that there is no use for objective truth anymore. Obviously the whole “reality-based community” has known about this in US politics for years, but I want to believe we’re different and better. Sadly, it seems Mr. Harper is perfectly happy to take a page from Atwater/Rove and play the talking points game.

So, if I were to have a hiphop career, and I were an artist with Jesus in my name, I might want to start out with a cover/remix of something from back in the day. And if I were thinking about lying, and how the world has no respect for truth… Well, the track I’d have to cover is suddenly a no-brainer. It’s a track that’s been in my collection for 18 years, since I accidentally ran into the genius of it because of where I did Shad Valley, my first high school crush, a Sarah McLachlan concert, and a label’s sampler.

(Note: there are some “bad words” in the samples contained in this track, and in the lyrics which will show after the jump. NSFW-UYWH)

123
…this is the take

Please let me introduce you to a brand new idea
It ain’t like your stupid car, ’cause it don’t come from Korea
I wont charge you for this tip, but you can take it to the bank
And when your whole life starts to turn around, you’ll know who to thank

Thank god for MC Nine Oh Oh, will be the first thing you say
When you are jumping out of bed, at the start of every day
Dropping on your knees while you are calling out my name
Saying thank you, thank you, thank you
And you’ll bless the day I came… into your life

Which up to this point had been a big fat joke
That you were playing on yourself, but now it’s time you awoke
From this dream you’ve been having and confront reality
So shut your mouth for one minute and play attention to me

pay attention, say what?

‘Cause I’m going to reveal the secret of my success
So now you can share in my continued happiness
You will know the blissful peace of all the masters of old
And everything you touch will turn to fourteen karat gold

It’s an easy four word sentence
That’s the key to all your dreams
So from now on you don’t have to worry about no complex schemes
Your life will be a simple game that you will always win
And for every dollar that you spend, the bank will pay back ten

And I know you are starting to say
Why don’t he stop beating around the bush
Well I’ll get there when I get there
There ain’t no need to push
’cause the point I’m trying to make contains my whole philosophy
So listen to what I tell you and repeat it after me

Truth is out of style (out of style) (say what?)
Truth is out of style (out of style) (say what?)
Truth is out of style (out of style) (say what?)
Truth is out of style (out of style) (say what?)

truth. is out of style

yo won’t you tell them what your name is

I hear what you’re saying: MC 900ft Jesus exactly how
Did you come to the conclusion that truth is out of style?

Well I was on my way to work one day when I spied a rocket ship
Some aliens abducted me and took me on a trip
To a previous existence on another astral plane
I met a real nice lady there named Shirley MacLaine

The truth is not an obstacle for someone such as me, she said
Because you see we all create our own reality
And if a problem should arise
The best thing you can say is
Don’t worry, be happy, and have a nice day

Well I thanked her very kindly for the excellent advice
She said she’d bill me later at a reasonable price
Then the aliens brought me back and beamed me down into this bar
But I could not go to work because Bigfoot stole my car

I know a motherfucking Bigfoot when I see one

Truth is out of style (out of style)
Truth is out of style (out of style)
Truth is out of style (out of style)

truth. is out of style.

You possess the ability to control the movement of the invisible electromagnetic energies of light. You also control a mental power over even the gross physical objects around you. This concept seems fantastic yet it has been proven.
