It's Hard Out Here For a Temp - Insane Ian feat. Carrie Dahlby [Official Whiteboard Music Video]
Channel: Insane Ian
Date: 2022-02-22

Back in 2011, Carrie Dahlby messaged my producer Ben Stahl about the possibility of him recording a backing track for a parody idea she had for Three6Mafia's Oscar Award winning song "It's Hard Out Here For a Pimp" from the film "Hustle and Flow". Due to various reasons that parody never came about, but I always thought it was a brilliant idea. So when I was putting tracks together for my new album "Illinoise" I asked her if I could use her idea. Of course I wanted her to be a part of the song too, so thankfully she not only agreed to me writing the song but also to her performing the hook. After 10 years since inception to release I think it was worth the wait...a wait that was certainly longer than most temp jobs either of us ever held.

With respect and apologies to Terrance Howard, Taraji P. Henson, and of course, Three6Mafia.
