Thanks to the generous contribution of World First International, we are proud to offer the new Land of a Thousand Rappers, Vol 2 album to you free of charge. While the appeal of social profiling pricing made it hard to accept this offer, the lucrative sum and services offered to the Buck$ Foundation made it impossible to refuse this sponsorship.
World First International provides clean and safe water sources to third world and developing countries through the strategic and compassionate movement towards privatization. World First International also provides diplomatic peacekeeping task forces for nations during times of crisis and change. These forces are trained not only in verbal negotiations and cultural sensitivity, but when required can utilize their respective military training and persuasive "marksmanship".
When asked about the possible danger of the project being compromised artistically and/or politically by such a large corporate donation, Mr. Buck$ responded, "Selling out is only embarrassing when it is for a case of Red Bull or several pairs of sneakers."

============================
SMUGGLED TRANSCRIPTION OF GUEST LECTURE GIVEN BY MISTER BUCK$ TO SKULL AND BONES SOCIETY AT YALE UNIVERSITY, MARCH 13, 2000.
[ed: deleted is lewd discussion of sororities and malt liquor which preceded any actual coherent presentation] So I can see that I already own half of you in this room. The other half, no offense, but like Franklin Mint plates, you aren't practical for feeding off of...pretty but not practical. But for sake of formality...a bit of an introduction, or reintroduction.
I started making my money in the twilight of the 70's, more in the 80's, and then lost count this last decade. Now making money is an exercise in energy conservation, in that the less energy I spend the more matter I acquire. It's lovely really.
Some of you, as I mentioned are current or future associates (whether you know it or not), but if you want to be closer to the source I recommend that you take some notes. But if you find you have to take notes, you might as well shut your note books. You are wasting your time. I don't need suck-ups and students. I, however, have plenty of time to taste. For as someone who has been anointed with the liquid blessing from the pool at the foot of the pillars in the courts of the elder council of wisdom and spit, my molecular rewiring unbinds me from your shackles of linearity, only limited by my imagination...and let me tell you, greed is wonderful fuel for the imagination. Greed is a cultural currency good in any millennium. It is a lovely code that you and I speak.
So here now in this present age of 2019, excuse me...[ed: at this point Buck$ looks flustered, takes a big swig of whiskey and then regains some composure]...This current age, the consumer has a conscious. I suppose the trend started a few years ago, but it will be briefly sidetracked by a lovely resurgence of purchase and this yet to be fully revealed dip in the ether. But for now, and again a few years from now, everyone wants cheap or free or green. This Utopian [deleted string of expletives] hogwash threatens your daddies corporations, the oil, the steel, the life blood they use to dye the flag. It threatens our ever wise industrial military complexion, like sun burn in the rays of positive hippie-[edit] sunshine and chakra vibrations. Weak-kneed tree-hugging bull-[edit].
It is a challenge to us to deliver something fast, but also clean. And many of you and your living ancestors are afraid of it. You have curled up into a ball and think some greased palms will in turn give you a back rub.
But alas, if you can't beat them...sell them! Sell them more crap. They want a holy, transcendent, guilt free, eco-friendly, earth first, recycled, biodegradable, religious consuming experience? Why I have just the 15 things you need, dammit! We need to dig in now, more than we have ever dug in before, do not be fooled by a little affluence around the corner.
It is time to reeducate the public that consuming is an ever holy ground, sacred temple, shoeless ash and sackcloth pilgrimage full of magic ghost catching dream questing, sweat lodge kind of thing with sand mandalas, smoothies, veggie wraps and all that jazz.
We need to reeducate that it is is also a political activity, a dollar spent is a vote cast, a ballot tallied, a movement, a revolution for mind, spirit, and renewable fuel defecating body. We will sell them bumper stickers and slogans and raised fists of protests in the form of automobiles, refrigerators, process and packaged foods.
Don't just sell stuff friends. Don't sell plastic or trinkets or objects. Sell ideology, statements political and environmental and spiritual. Sell vehicles sanctified by the blood of electricity (that mystical originless superhero power).
Cynical? Conceited? Moi? Please no. I have no use for cynicism in my campaign. Opportunistic? Most certainly. Because when I hear green (which trust me, you will be hearing a lot more of...) I see green. But it isn't the kind you have to protect by properly disposing of hazardous materials or by cutting your six pack plastic rings.
No, I'm talking about the green that feels best in denominations of franklins, and brushing up against your naked body after a 14 hour marathon drug-fueled Dionysian pool party with Deep Breakfast blaring through the hi-fi. This is the America I love.
