VOTD: Hollywood ASST

Everyone loves white guys trying to rap, right? Hollywood ASST is a rap video made by a bunch of Hollywood assistants (and /Film readers) who shot the video over the course of several months while working 50+ hour weeks for a movie director. I'm not sure if this is too "inside baseball" for the /Film readers in middle america (some of you watch Entourage, right?), but I think the readers from southern Hollywood might get a kick out of it. I found it pretty frigging hilarious. Check out the video after the jump.

Lyrics below:

In case anybody was interested or couldn't catch it the first time, here are the lyrics to Hollywood A-S-S-T:

Yo, I'm an east coast transplant.

I dreamed that I'd land at

a job in Los Angeles.

I always planned that.

Workin' at the agency

where all the best are.

Better than where the rest are.

Talkin' 'bout the Death Star.

Management assistant,

but I've had enough you know.

Gotta find organic buffalo

for Mark Ruffalo.

Here for the summer

on an internship.

Get the coffee, read the trades,

but I don't know s***.

Since I got on the lot you can always find me

rubbin' shoulders with the suits in the commissary.

Take a lunch, get some bunch, have a schmooze and a mingle;

check me out tomorrow, yo, I'll have my own shingle.

Chained to my desk like a pet by my headset,

dead set on my quest to get a better desk... Brett?

Working eight to eight, having no time to chill.

Making mad reservations for my boss at The Grill.

4.0 at Harvard but I'm currently just fillin' in.

It's thrillin' but I'm sweating like a movie I'm the villian in.

Got giant A-list clients reliant on my silence...

slip up, there'll be boss violence.

We've got mad loans / you know we rent but don't own.

Can't afford patron / only cook rice-a-rone.

But I won't groan / bringin' a gift basket home.

Eat a scone / and Toblerone / from Stallone.

New media, features and TV.

I'm a Hollywood (what?) A-S-S-T.

No respect from the powers that be.

I'm a Hollywood (what?) A-S-S-T.

Let's get drinks

Mark it down on your calendar, yo.

And when the day arrives we'll discuss where we should go.

Reschedule one time, two times, three times, four.

It's been so long, don't have to go no more.

Puttin' faces to names at the industry mixer,

playing name droppin' games while I down an elixir.

White 20-somethings in designer shirts and blazers

all spiking up their hair tryin' to be like Brian Grazer.

I just got on a desk (but it's not Brian Lourd's).

I'm wearin' fancy clothes (that you just can't afford).

I'm lookin' pretty (but your ride is really s***ty).

If my drinks sees that s***, I'm not tappin' that titty.

So I lie about my car, meet girls at a dive bar.

On Saturdays I club (cause my friend works at Ivar!).

I'm hungover Sunday, recover for one day,

then Monday I wake up and go back to the Death Star.

Sometimes I get these headaches and their caused by all my stressin'.

They're worse then Brad Grey's that he gets from David Geffen.

I'm loyal to my boss like my name was Dwight Schrute.

Cut me some motherfucking slack – s***, I forgot to hit mute!

S*** now, gettin' called in to sit down

and get reamed out, listen to my boss scream loud

in surround-sound, gotta hear all about how

he's got clout about town so I can't clown around now.

You hear? The prexy of the mousehouse ankled.

The honcho of the alphabet had pilot season rankled.

Ten-percenteries found a new helmer and scribe,

nabbed a topper, tapped a shingle, that's how they survive.

Kidvid we did had a boffo peacock preem.

Picking up this skein. You mean skein? No, its skein.

Unsure holdover perfs causing mad anxiety.

Man, you've been reading way too much Variety.

I just got a page on IMDB.

I'm a Hollywood (what?) A-S-S-T.

I can't leave my desk cuz I always gotta pee.

I'm a Hollywood (what?) A-S-S-T.

Cause we're rollin' rollin' rollin' (what?).

Rollin' rollin' rollin' (what?).

Rollin' rollin' rollin'.

What?!

Calls.

Ohhhhhhh!

You want me to do what? Book you a hotel in Reno?

Drop your kids at their summer camp in Encino?

Oil change on your nanny's '85 Torino?

Christmas gift for Al Pacino?

Call up Wally's, send some vino?

Need coffee for your general with Tarantino?

He wants a grande mocha frappuccino?

Shopping spree, yo, it's obvious to see though,

you'd be so helpless without me.

So I run in to this loser that I knew from USC.

He tells me he's a CE — what? How can this be?

He's got a brand new office with a plasma and a Wii.

He's got a new assistant and I think her name was Bree.

So I give Bree a call, and damn, she sounds choice.

Can she really be as sexy as she sounds in her voice?

Don't be fooled by the voice / yo for reals, what he says!

Shorty sounds like Paris / but she looks like Perez.

My boss is getting mad at me, I can't say that I blame her

spending all my time on Superficial and Defamer.

Who's attached? Leave it unsaid.

Sincerely yours, dictated but not read.
