Things Are Getting Real

Things are getting real everywhere, even in the Whole Foods parking lot.

YouTube - ‪Whole Foods Parking Lot - Music Video [HD]‬&rlm;

Sad times

I can't see youtube here; can you please briefly describe?

Tis a silly, SNL-esque music video with a VERY white guy rapping about living on the West Side of L.A. and driving his Prius, and shopping for organic foods. Pretty funny, actually.

macaroni tony · #4 06-17-2011, 01:04 PM

sounds like it...what's the guy's name?

elgecko · #5 06-17-2011, 01:05 PM

It's a rap parody video about the Whole Foods market with all the West Side cliches like Priuses, kale salad, gourmet cheese, etc...I hope the OP didn't think it was real.

Here are the lyrics, posted on YT:
Intro (spoken)

Yo man...
Yo I know you see me here dude!!
I've been waiting here like 10 minutes, man!
No, no no... this is MY parking space man.
What you need to do is put your little hybrid in reverse,
And go out the way you came in.
WHAT?!?!
Yo its about to get REAL in the Whole Foods parking lot man...

Chorus (with feeling)

It's getting' REAL in the Whole Foods Parking Lot
I got my STEEL and you know it gets sparked a lot
Im on my grind homie... It's on my mind homie!
These fools with clip boards are lookin' at me like they know me!

It's getting' REAL in the Whole Foods Parking Lot
You know the DEAL with the little shopping carts they got...
Check out what I say, it happens every day...
It's how we LIVE on the west side of LA!!

Verse 1

... Im ridin' slow in my Prius...
all leather, tinted windows... you cant see us!!
Everybody's trying to park, you can feel the tension
I'm in electric mode... can't even hear the engine (Shhhhhhh)

Just then I saw a spot open up,
My timings perfect... Im creepin' up...
But then this other dude tried to steal it going the wrong way
Yo man, I've had a LONG DAY!

Chorus
(same as before)

Verse 2

Now I'm on this inside, looking at my list
Organic chicken, Kale Salad and a Lemon Twist.
Some girl in yoga pants is lookin at me funny
I'm just trying to find a decent Pinot Noir for under twenty!

Then I take it to the cheese counter, Humboldt Fog?
We just ran out sir! Really Dog?
Take it easy man, I try to calm myself...
I've been on edge ever since they took Kombucha off the shelf...

Chorus

(same as before)

Verse 3

This Busters on his iPhone talking to his friends,
Picking up some cayenne pepper for his master cleanse.
You're the most annoying dude I've ever SEEN brah...
Could you PLEASE move? You're RIGHT in front of the Quinoa.

Damn, I'm about to check out.
Pay my 80 bucks for 6 things and get the heck out.
The express lane is moving hella slow...
Man, these fools don't know... that sh*t is getting REAL....

Chorus
(same as before)

Honesty this is actually what my Whole Foods parking lot is like. There is so much road rage in that parking lot it is astounding. Literally every time I go there is a fight there. Pure craziness.

macaroni tony · #11 06-17-2011, 01:15 PM

I went to a whole foods here in irvine once before. never again

elgecko · #12 06-17-2011, 01:18 PM

I've never been. It sounds like a fancy Fresh & Easy...down to the tiny shopping carts.

MJ5150 · #13 06-17-2011, 01:19 PM

What is fake about the video?

I really like Whole Foods Market. I could spend hours in there shopping and eating. The closest one to us is about 75 miles away, so we don't go as often as we would like to.

When I lived in Chapel Hill, N.C., I drove past the local "healthy food megastore" at least once or twice a day. One time, I saw two women get in a fight over a parking space. One was driving a Mercedes, the other a BMW. They were both very rich, white, middle-aged women. They actually came to blows (slaps) before the security guard was able to break it up. It was one of the most surreal things I've ever seen.

No self promotion. What rap video lacks self promotion?

Are you multiplying the wave function by its complex conjugate?

I need more time off

Wyrm74 · #17 06-17-2011, 02:04 PM

That is awesome! Bahaha! Reminds of the Whole Foods here in Southlake (uppity rich suburb in the Dallas-Fort Worth area).

Maybe you just don't know how it goes down on the street.

Darth Handsome · #19 06-17-2011, 04:42 PM

There's something about a white guy in a rapper's uniform saying things like 'homie' & 'dog' that just cracks me right up. That's satire in my book.
