2. Famous for 15 Minutes

**Look For The Truth** is the second studio album from the band Touchin Thangs, released by the Underground, then later bought out by Rock-On Records.

After the release of the album, the track "Stop Accusations" was accused of plagiarism. Lead singer Lil Slurpee Thang was found guilty of plagiarism in court.

## Production

The album began production immediately after Giant China under the name "Wonders of Wonders".

The band was under a new record label during the production of this album, Urban Records.

During the production of the album, the band gained new members, Boomtown and Wide Boy. Monica Marquez even rejoined the band.

During the production of the album, the band changed the name of the album to "Look For The Truth".

Wide Boy was assigned to being the background vocalist, however part way through the album's production, he switched to being a DJ.

The band had released 2 singles from the album, both found massive worldwide success and climbed to #2 on the Daily Tabloid charts.

The band was kicked out of the Urban Records label by the end of the production, so the album had to be released by The Underground, this led to bad marketing. The band then was bought out by Rock-On Records, and this helped boost sales.

## Meaning of the album

### Lil Slurpee Thang's paternity & plagiarism charges

During the production of the album, lead singer Lil Slurpee Thang was accused of plagiarism and paternity multiple times, so this made the band change the name of the album to "Look For The Truth".

The band even went further by making certain songs about the charges, the song "I Didn't Touch Thangs" is in reference to Lil Slurpee Thang's paternity accusations.

The song "Stop Accusations" was about telling people to stop making false accusations. Ironically, the song was accused and found guilty for plagiarism.

The album cover shows the band inside of a courtroom, in reference to the allegations against Lil Slurpee Thang.

### Daddy Cool

The band created a song on the album praising the manager of their record label (Urban Records), Daddy Cool.

Part way through the production of the album, the band was dropped by their label, Urban Records, and they changed the song to being about how much they hate Daddy Cool.

### Meat Ball's Symphony & Hank Wesley

During the production of the album, Meat Ball created his own song titled "Meat Ball's Symphony", however the world's most famous singer at the time, Hank Wesley came around and bought the rights to the track for $4,000 and made a cover of it. The band didn't know that this meant they would no longer be able to create the song, so they created a song titled "Scam Artist" as a diss to Hank Wesley.

### Temporary fame

The band received success through the single from this album, "Working on Wonders", the song at it's peak reached #2 on the Daily Tabloid charts, however the band's fame quickly lost that fame.

Monica Marquez asked if one of the songs on the album could be changed to "Famous For 15 Minutes", which Lil Slurpee Thang agreed with.

## Reception and charts
