2-Cent Entertainment To Release 3rd Annual Holiday Parody Music Video

PRLog (Press Release) - Dec. 22, 2011 - (NEW ORLEANS) - 2-Cent Entertainment gives their fans around the globe a reason to smile this Holiday season. The entertainment company will release, “Odd Christmas,” a music video that spoofs various Rap/Hip Hop and Pop stars. On December 23rd at 12:00 a.m. midnight CST, “Odd Christmas” will air on their youtube channel, http://www.youtube.com/user/bmodums.

“Odd Christmas” is the third holiday installment from the 2-Cent group. Last year’s spoof, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hztpAXpnfEM, featured Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Drake, Rick Ross, Chris Brown, Rihanna, Willow Smith and many others.

The roster of artists continue to grow. The video that began it all, “2-Cent’s Christmas” featured verses from P-Stain [T-Pain] and Greezy F. Baby [Lil’Wayne]. The following year, 2-Cent introduced, Manda B's alter ego, Nicki Minaj. 2-Cent believes that Christmas is a time to be merry and have a laugh or two, says CEO Brandan Odums.

“It started out as a joke, just for fun doing this Christmas video. Like at the end of the year, ya know, type end-it-with-a-bang-let’s-have-fun. Just to kind of show that look we can do this, we can create content like this. If that’s all we wanted to do.  We can create content that can just go viral.”

Unlike many parodies, 2-Cent also brings education into the picture. Just this past year, 2-Cent parodied the song “Every Girl” from Young Money’s album We Are Young Money to encourage elementary and middle school students to read more. 2-Cent is a collaborative effort of creative, frustrated, and comedic twenty-somethings. They all posses the innate ability to convey humor and urgency toward issues that plague not only New Orleans, but also America in general. 2-Cent is a PBS documentary, an SNL skit and an In Living Color spoof all rolled into one.  

Equipped with social consciousness, music as the backdrop, and the cold hard facts, they have gained a loyal following, and won coveted awards, including an FYI 2008 NAACP award, and FYI Silverdocs: AFI Discovery Channel Documentary Film Festival Award for documentary filmmaking excellence. Mostly web-based, the show debuted Spring 2008 on air in New Orleans with ABC’s support. This is the first step in proving that 2-Cent is making big strides and praise-worthy “edutainment.”
