(Jeff Kart, Discovery’s “Planet Green“) – John Forté had been looking for inspiration to finish up a new album. Unfortunately, along came the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf. Rather than let the gushing go on without action (sorry BP), Forté wrote a rap called “Oil on the Shore,” put it on Soundcloud, and is asking the Internet to add the second verse.

The following correspondence originally took place upon the Facebook wall of family, after I was tagged in their post…

2009-12-21-a-childhood-remake-of-the-classic-christmas-song-winter-wonderland

Sara: just remembered a song Rayn & I re-wrote when we were little. Sung 2 the tune of Winter Wonderland: “In the ghetto we can mug an old man; Steal his wallet & his credit cards; Police ask you if u did it, u say ‘No man!’; But u’ll still be guilty as charged! Later on, at the station, being charged without probation. U’re humming a tune; U won’t be back soon; Walking in a Ghetto Wonderland!

Cherie S.: hahaha!

Kimberly M.: That’s funny! I have a new favorite holiday song!

Sara: LOL! Robbing senior citizens in the spirit of Xmas!

Ryan Mary F.: How funny…. I remember that!

Sara: omg that’s great that you remember it! LOL!

Jessi C.: lmao!!!

Jessi C.: OMG that is sooo Johnny’s song….lmao!!!

Rayn: Ahh! One of my favorite Christmas songs!

Three lines that require correction:
“Steal his wallet FILLED with credit cards.”
“COPS ask you if you did it…”
“Being JAILED without probation.”

Also, we never did settle on the very last line! There were a few variations we tried! LOL!

Samantha P.: lol .. you guys are too funny .. maybe you’ll have to teach kaila and michael that haha

Donnell T.: MAN KEEP DIS SHIT OFF MY FUCKIN PAGE FAM!

Sara: That’s fucked up, first of all it’s not “shit” that’s my sister speaking the truth. If you can’t handle it, why don’t you watch Fox 5 where they speak the “truth”, like Bill O’Reilly, and get your news from there.

Last Prince: 1. 2. 1. 2.!!!!! Damn B, U ain’t even tagged in this clip don’t know how it is even on Ur page!!!! But like Sara says its the Truth!!! Guess some catz would rather remain in the dark!!!! But regardless, Peace 2 U B!!! And Keep doin’ Ya thang in the ‘Ville!!!!! I’ll be back @ the Crib Soon to get some of that MidWest footage!!!

1. 2.!!!!!

Louis G.: keep doing your thing rayn..dont mind the haters…atleast you rapping about something real.. something you believe in..keep it positive always..fuck the negativity..do what you do..

Rayn: Thanx for the support, friends and fam! Just remember that I give no credence to strangers calling my work “SHIT.” Negative comments like these are just VAGUE and USELESS to me. They do nothing to constructively help me improve my craft, (nor were they meant to)! I tend to ignore them, unless they are highly offensive (which is not the case here)!

Last Prince: 1. 2. 1. 2. !!!! True Dat!!!
