Money In The Bank

9 Mar

If you haven’t voted in the Young & Free “Money In The Bank” contest yet, please watch the video below, go to the Young & Free site, and vote for #6.

I had the opportunity to interview the stars of the video, K-Dawg and Lil’ K.

Marketing Tea Party (MTP): Why did you do the Money In The Bank video?

K-Dawg: Lil’ K and I are strong believers in the credit union movement, and we wanted to use our influence within the Gen Y community to get the word out about credit unions.

Lil’ K: We wanted to win the iPad, you fool.

MTP: Are “K-Dawg” and “Lil’ K” your real names?

K-Dawg: What are you, stupid?

MTP: Which of the two of you wrote the lyrics to “Money In The Bank”?

Lil’ K: Wasn’t me. My mom wouldn’t let me waste my time on stuff like that.

K-Dawg: Yeah, we got us a team of writers who write our music for us.

MTP: Did you guys watch any of the other entries to the contest?

K-Dawg and Lil’ K: YES! SOPHIA IS SO CUTE!!!!

Now go vote.

    Hilarious and loved the entry.

    Also, word around the campfire is that #5 – The Disclosures is worth checking out as well. Just sayin’ – it also has a cameo appearance by two cute little girls.

    Love the interview! K-DAWG and Little K are truly hardcore and their passion for the credit union movement shows (as well as awesome parents).

    I also here that word on the street there are some other credit union thugz stayin’ true with not one, but two videos (remix!).

    Music critics around the world agree and recommend to check out video #8 and #13 for some straight up credit union swang and bang.

    That rap needed a music bed, so I slapped one on (or under) it.

    Very cute…really liked the vids James Robert Lay’s crew did as well. Tough vote decision.

    @ James Robert Lay…BTW I linked the CU*Swag site to my personal FB wall. Great T’s and I’ll definitely be ordering the “Eye CU Baby” T. Can’t wait to have conversations about that.

    @Christopher and JR: Thanks for commenting. Unfortunately (for you AND me), nobody reads the comments. :)

    @Ginessa: Thanks for commenting. JR’s crew’s video was…..OK. Very derivative of K-Dawg and Lil’ K’s video, though. :)

    Disclosures 4 Life, yo…but seriously, this is a great contest and I am really impressed with the quantity and quality of the entries.

    I smell a paid endorsement, aren’t you supposed to legally admit to that…

      Let me get this straight. After the CANADIAN contest sponsor let a fellow CANADIAN submit a contest entry AFTER the deadline, you’re going to give ME grief about some silly legal requirements? :)

    Too funny! I love all of the effort everyone is putting into this.
