Chocolate Rain

Either I'm (nevermind) or you guys aren't hip. Has anyone heard this song from a cat here in Mpls?

Tay Zonday's Chocolate Rain? It's the bigget underground song around.

Some say it's creepy, but I kind of dig it.

He even was on Jimmy Kimmel last night. eek

Here's a link. http://www.youtube.com/wa...wTZ2xpQwpA

Mods: I don't think this breaks the rules because he promotes free downloads for the song.

Holla atcha boy!

Sparxxxie Baby.
Life my azz muthafucka, dis is a bitness!!

I love Gravy, I love Titties. I love Gravy Dipped Titties.

off course

everybody has heard this, its the best song of the decade.

The guy is a genius. He has had more than 3.5 million views of his song.

Awesome. Much better than the talentless shit we have today out there.

Somebody sign this dude up, he is the fucking shit!

Chocolate Rain rules!!!

Fuck everyone else, Chocolate Rain is the best song of the decade, catchy, addictive and some great lyrics.

I feel bad for him being classed as a joke oddity on youtube. The much mocked mannerism in the video is just him catching breath away from the microphone and the rest of the joke is his looks and deep Paul Robeson/Negro Spiritual toned voice. The lyrics are actually quite deep and confuse many once they see the references to racism etc.

Hes actually serious about his music but is getting tarred as a figure of fun.
Glug, glug like a mug

Well after listening to a few interviews with him, he's taking it all in stride and is quite humble about the whole thing.

People just hate because right now he's getting his Shine on. Since he lives here, he should hook up with P and make Purple Chocolate Rain.

Hadnt heard about this until this past weekend, thanks to ""''Best Week Ever". The lyrics are really powerful. I thought it was just some corn-ball nonsense, but dude its really addressing some serious stuff; 'Chocolate rain made me cross the street the other day.." And the music is good too. Its stuck in my head now. I think Ill be having the rest of my conversations today in that cadence,
A happy face, A Thumpin Bass, For A Lovin' Race. PEACE.

I am already sharing Tay Zonday on soulseek.

Yeah, the voice is fake. But at least he will have a great future as the source for monk vocal patches on future rompler synths.

actually its his real voice amazingly enough

watch the jimmy kimmel appearance on youtube

the guy must have a really deep natural voice

unless someone who knows him comes out and says his voice is just an act,

the voice is real.

fucking great as well

Read the youtube comments...people are actually digging this dude and his song(s)...and ladies think he is cute.

I wouldn't compare this phenomenon to William Hung.

I thought it was a joke. Didn't know it was supposed to be a serious recording.
