this kid is a dud!!!

samwells brother or maybe lover

Ha Ha!!!! (jeezy voice)

It looks like It’s retarded. It reminds me of Pat from SNL.

sh*t he could have his own TV show because all across the world they want so badly for black men to be a clown–millions of youtube hits…now if he knows what he’s up on his own game then alright, but they love this monkey on a typewriter type sh*t.

he reminding me of janet jackson. they look alike in the face.

I thought that was Janet Jackson, lol.

weird weird weird…. i could understand if he were white! i just don’t get it.

I truly thought this was a woman. In fact after watching that clip, I still believe this was a woman.

Although I don’t like black folks acting ignorant and setting us back, I’ll have to disagree with the statement that Tay Zonday is being a coon. I agree this new video is stupid, but the man is in grad school, and the lyrics to Chocolate Rain actually says some relevant things.

THESE ARE THE WORDS OF A COON? MAYBE YOU A COON.

Chocolate Rain

Some stay dry and others feel the pain

Chocolate Rain

A baby born will die before the sin

Chocolate Rain

The school books say it can’t be here again

Chocolate Rain

The prisons make you wonder where it went

Chocolate Rain

Build a tent and say the world is dry

Chocolate Rain

Zoom the camera out and see the lie

Chocolate Rain

Forecast to be falling yesterday

Chocolate Rain

Only in the past is what they say

Chocolate Rain

Raised your neighborhood insurance rates

Chocolate Rain

Makes us happy ‘livin in a gate

Chocolate Rain

Made me cross the street the other day

Chocolate Rain

Made you turn your head the other way

(Chorus)

Chocolate Rain

quickly crashing through your veinshistory

Chocolate Rain

Using you to fall back down again

[Repeat]

Chocolate Rain

Seldom mentioned on the radio

Chocolate Rain

Its the fear your leaders call control

Chocolate Rain

Worse than swearing worse than calling names

Chocolate Rain

Say it publicly and you’re insane

Chocolate Rain

No one wants to hear about it now

Chocolate Rain

Wish real hard it goes away somehow

Chocolate Rain

Makes the best of friends begin to fight

Chocolate Rain

But did they know each other in the light?

Chocolate Rain

Every February washed away

Chocolate Rain

Stays behind as colors celebrate

Chocolate Rain

The same crime has a higher price to pay

chocolate Rain

The judge and jury swear it’s not the face

(Chorus)

Chocolate Rain

Dirty secrets of economy

Chocolate Rain

Turns that body into GDP

Chocolate Rain

The bell curve blames the baby’s DNA

Chocolate Rain

But test scores are how much the parents make

Chocolate Rain

‘Flippin cars in France the other night

Chocolate Rain

Cleans the sewers out beneath Mumbai

Chocolate Rain

‘Cross the world and back its all the same

Chocolate Rain

Angels cry and shake their heads in shame

Chocolate Rain

Lifts the ark of paradise in sin

Chocolate Rain

Which part do you think you’re ‘livin in?

Chocolate Rain

More than ‘marchin more than passing law

Chocolate Rain

Remake how we got to where we are.

(Chorus)

Next time have SOME clue of what youre talking about before you call someone a coon.

Not a coon. He’s talking about racisim. His origninal video was one of the most popular videos on youtube. The fact that Dr. Pepper gave him money to promote their new drink shows the power of the internet.

He did sell out. When I say sell out, I mean he has compromised his true intent of the song to make some coin. The original lyrics or Chocalate Rain were relevant and deep, but when he is on talkshows and they ask him what chocalate rain is about, he never says it’s about the plight of African Americans.

This commercial has different lyrics than the original Chocalate Rain song.

Don’t be blinded by hate. What does he have to look like for you to get the message?

Peace

I think this guy is smart. I saw him on best week ever last night and he is being backed by Dr. Pepper to promote a new flavor of drink from them called chocolate rain. He has taken his five minutes of fame to 6.

Janet, is that you?

ewwwwwww!!!! yuck!

WTF is the problem….he acts like any other nicca with money. Tiger, Bryan Gumble, Kobe, Charles Barkley, Reggie Bush and the list goes on. Don’t get me wrong the video sucked but hell he making money off of what nicca’s do when they get a little paper. *shrugs*

tay zonday is actually a smart guy and his song “Chocolate Rain” which has become very popular on Youtube really says something relevant, HOWEVER the way he is now being portrayed in the media is completely taking away from all of the positivity. why tay, why?

To add the kid looks bi-racial (black&white) so how is he a sellout. T-Pain uses the same thing with his voice. Half of y’all chick would give him some booty if he tried to holla at y’all so stop frontin. When black people need to grip about something important you never do, so stop now, cause it is pointless! Look @ all the rap videos with the video hoes in it…yeah like I said if you criticize this man, criticize every rapper, NBA and NFL player while you are at it.

I thought that was janet jackson man he looks a lot like her

Mr. Ekko said

“Not a coon. He’s talking about racisim. His origninal video was one of the most popular videos on youtube. The fact that Dr. Pepper gave him money to promote their new drink shows the power of the internet.”

finally someone with some sense. He didnt even make that spot. The Ad people at Dr. Pepper did as a spoof of the fact that internet celebrities are becomming real celebs. Did you even watch the video?!??

He’s black!!??

^^^ SHUT UP he was on Jimmy Kimmel and he said he isn’t talking about racism and no idea where got that from.

Not to be mean, but does Tay have that genetic condition? You know like Andy Milonakis, where he looks 12, but he’s really 30?

uuuummmm……okay

I think he felt like…(bikini dancers, grill in his mouth, oversized sunglasses, wack rapper) would appeal to BLACK people (which is a DAMN shame), he didn’t have to use all of those things to get MY attention or to reach an audience……

like I said before, all of that was un-called for!!

why do you need a “gimmick” if your true intent is to send a message??

PLEASE! this CLOWN just wants attention!

he gets a big fat NEEEXXT!!!!

________________________________________

I love snickers . . .You speak the truth. He’s using all the same tired cliches as other rappers use, so cut that “he’s so conscious” BS. Like his message is so special cause he’s throwing in some econ 101 terms. Some of you sheep are too easily impressed. He’s a garbage lyricist masquerading as a cartoonish freak. Be sure to cop his album when it drops. I’m sure a lot of you will.

Coon on people. Coon on.

Oh shyt son I just heard the Lil Jon remix to Chocolate Rain, and you can hear the lyrics and he is talking about Racism.

I think he felt like…(bikini dancers, grill in his mouth, oversized sunglasses, wack rapper) would appeal to BLACK people (which is a DAMN shame), he didn’t have to use all of those things to get MY attention or to reach an audience……

^^^^Uh yes he did, that’s how ppl like Souljah boy (who wears glasses like that)and Hurricane Chris have # 1 hits and real musicians got to practically give away cd’s just to go platinum. The man is a grad student and he talking about racism for the 18th time. He was having fun in the video…get off the damn soapbox. Why don’t you get that. I’m live in the hood to and I swear I don’t think like most black people stop embarrassing yo ppl. People who are on here and not from the hood, we all aren’t ignorant and do that the message of Chocolate Rain.

^^^ correction

People who are on here and not from the hood, we all aren’t ignorant and I and a few other do understand t the message of Chocolate Rain.

I swear I want to take a big effing dick and smack some ppl in the forehead with it. For the 100th time the song is about Racism.

First I thought this person was a girl, then he could pass for MJ’s son or lesbian daughter. Over this video is really stupid.

I see nothing wrong with this guy. Certainly wouldn’t call him a coon!

Here is a guy who took a few minutes with a video camera for a study break and now can parlay it into some change……good for him!!!

Good clean fun that hurts noone……yall should give him his props as they are due.

TO RON G.

No my brother. The definition of COON is, a black man or woman that was dark-skinned, that white’s thought resembled a racoon,(DARK SKINNED ,BUT WITH DARKER RINGS AROUND THE EYES)They would often-times make cartoons of blacks in this manner!

think

obama 08′

The man talks like that for real it is not a machine like we were made to believe before, I bet if Allen Iverson talked like that you would still want to suck his dick. Tay forget what ignorant folk say about you keep doing you brother, and good luck in school, since you are a graduate student.

All because someone talks about racism doesn’t mean they’re not a clown ass shuckin and jivin coon

If Flav Flav says someone positiive, we he stop being a coon, shuckin and jivin for white folks?

Just Another Opinion, get off of Tay’s jock, cause you ridin’ it a little too hard, right now

He was in a reindeer suite on the Jimmy Kimmel Show. So I guess his fifteen minutes of fame has stretched a bit.

@ liya

Just Another Opinion, get off of Tay’s jock, cause you ridin’ it a little too hard, right now

^^I don’t like to see innocent people get stoned that all. You have to say shyt 12 times on here for ppl to understand, you and others are ridin him too hard, give the boy a break!

@ Ariel, I agree with you. And gizzle, thank you for putting the lyrics up. Tay is doing his own thing. He’s not conventionally handsome. So what. We have so many ‘artists’ singing love songs to every other woman except the black woman in their videos, talking about ass, the club, more ass, getting some, even more ass, the success of their ass game…. Tay is trying to be about something, weird Dr. Pepper commercial or not.

I can’t believe I watched this video a second time. Dr. Pepper. Don’t know what to say about them. Any thing to sell a Coke I guess. I had my pistol under lock and key. I hope no body did them selves a favor and took themselves out after watching this. This is what I am about to do. I guess he is the new hero of rap. Someone please respond if you have some thing relevant to add to this waste of news reporting of this kat!

Is this guy the missing link? Or maybe Janet Jackson in drag.

Hahahahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! This is the funniest thing I have seen all day. Not only does he sound retarded, he looks retarded. Thank goodness he has educational credentials because this is like watching a scary movie..

PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT U MEAN BY COON!!

I swore that was a jackson.

Stop with calling black folks coons. It’s not funny at all. In fact, it’s ignorant.

yeah i thought i was the only one who thought it looked like JANET JACKSON lmao

grad school is expensive! what’s wrong with him making a little money to help put himself through school. good for him for being a good business man.

Why does in he look like Janet Jackson when she was Penny on Good Times?

Take a seat Bryant Gumbell, Tay Zonday is now the most non-threatening looking Black man in America.

Is it me or does he looks like Janet Jackson with a texturizer in that pic above. And yes he had on the heavy man gloss.

HE LOOKS LIKE A BALD JANET JACKSON WITH GLASSES!!

Dat stuff call “Cherry Chocolate Rain” is straight garbage…

The reason he used the grills, and the girls is because it seems like thats the only thing that catches black peoples attention. Is ignorant a$$ Plies a COON, how about GUCCI MANE, or T-PAIN? THEY ALL exploit black culture (or what the media thinks is black culture)…JUST LIKE WHITE PPL…for profit. Get a clue. IF you’re not exploiting these uneducated and embarrassing pieces of crap that make black women and women in general look like W#ORES then I certainly don’t think you have any position to make cracks at Tay for actually saying something intelligent. Its probably because you didn’t tk the time to read or listen to the lyrics ..SO focused on how he looked. Just like the saying goes…”If you want to hide something from black folks put it in a book” If you don’t, put it on BET in the form of a video and they will flock and support it. The only thing the ppl o this forum can say is that he looks weird, yeah and so does Lil Wayne with those dumb @ss Platinum teeth in his mouth.

This is why blacks will never get ahead..too busy looking at the packaging instead of listening to the message.

AND whoever made the comment that they would have watched the video without of the extra junk is DELUSIONAL This video would have never gotten to your computer if he had looked sensibly & intelligent.

…also, he says in the commercial “Chocolate Rain, Wrote a song about the history”… so… I don’t know what to make of it.

not sure if anyone peeped it but this was lynn’s ringtone on girlfriends like 2 weeks ago and was shocked to say the least

“Although I don’t like black folks acting ignorant and setting us back, I’ll have to disagree with the statement that Tay Zonday is being a coon. I agree this new video is stupid, but the man is in grad school……”

——————————-

oh i forgot the “grad students cant be coons” rule

but besides that…

Chocolate Rain

The same crime has a higher price to pay

chocolate Rain

The judge and jury swear it’s not the face

never listened to the words… nice job gizzle

^^^ You better say that. I swear you and Wesside Eviscer8r and AND need to come on this site more often and spit that real shyt.

Let’s cut it out. The ORIGINAL lyrics of ‘Chocolate Rain’ were meant to be thought provoking and meaningful. What he did is no different than many other black artist. SET US BACK 10 YEARS! The finished product is backed by Dr. Pepper to further WHITE AMERICA’S Agenda- selling us more and more meaningless stuff and then preach to us about how Blacks don’t save money and are dying early deaths. This song is so not about the black plight. He doesn’t care about anything but making some coin like everybody else. *Different* is the new mainstream. Don’t be fooled. He is shucking and jiving just like the rest of them. NEXT!

his original chocolate rain song was about racism so i like it and i dont feel like he was doing anything to sellout. i dont think he should have agreed to let them throw chocolate on him but they wanted to do something else because normally in music videos they spray the people with champagne or water. he seems like a shy guy and he doesnt own a tv so he is a loner and this is a way for him to pay the bills with this commercial and maybe he may even meet a nice black woman and fall in love.

This title with COON makes me cringe. All I can see are the white people coming across this site, LAUGHING at the word and thinking, “well if Black people use, then it’s OK for me to say it too!”

SMH in embarrassment.

It just shows you the mentality of the people who run this site. Everyday we hear about people in the business who write all sorts of songs that disrespect women and the black community and do you all call them a coon ever?? No You all need to get the stick out of your ass and thats a fact.

He’s black?

What an interesting looking girl, poor thing.

Somebody was sleeping during English class! If you can’t recognize the satirical elements, and parallels between chocolate rain and makin it rain then you should not be writing for this blog.

In short. Lemme break it down. He is not being a coon. He is making fun of the coons in order to get you to recognize they are coons. He is making fun or rappers. Damn, like Bill Cosby said Come on people.

the video is dumb as hell but what makes him a coon when the woman that he is speaking of is black?,lol. SMH

He??? looks like Janet Jackson… besides that, I’ve never heard of him or his song. I don’t like anyone being called a “coon” though, that’s just plain ignorant.

is he wearing glitter lipgloss??? he DOES look like ITS PAT from SNL lmao…did somebody actually pay money to set this sh*t up??? so sad…

btw is this a dr pepper commercial??? this is why i don’t watch a lot of tv these days…=(

Monotheistic Proof:

NEXT TIME USE PARAGRAPHS!!!!

he looks like a damn puppet

I hope ole’ boy strap on a rubber, cuz ya know all the chickenheads gonna be throwin poontang his way!

Don’t eff around and get the herp Tay!

The lyrics are good but, become completely irrelevant when coming out of the mouth of a Alvin and the Chimpmunks reject.

OK OK OK, I’VE KNOWN ABOUT THIS DUDE SINCE THE SUMMER BUT WHY DID YOU HAVE MAKE ME REMEMBER HIM AND HIS WACK ASS CHOCOLATEY SONG. HE HAD THE NERVE TO DO A REMIX TO IT AND MAKE A VIDEO FOR IT. LAWD GIVE ME STRENGTH. I’M NOT IN THE MOOD FOR THIS FOOLISHNESS FIRST THING MONDAY MORNING.

Yall are so ignorant Coon is a very very bad word A coon is a black actor or actress, who takes roles that stereotypically portrays black people. They think theyve made it but they are slaves to the same images. A.k.a sellout

It comes from the term baracoons (a cage), where they used to place Africans, who were waiting to be sent to America to be slaves. They had no idea of this, so some of them were even eager waiting in the baracoons

and yall use coon of the day on a black website shame on you this is your own people yor talking about educate yourself you’ll help the world out but knowing history and not repeating it right now your repeating it

I have to agree with I love . . .Snickers. I don’t think it is satire. I think it’s a bunch of corny gimmicks used for shock value in a corporate ad to sell a beverage. Even if the original intent of the first version of the song was to be meaningful, this Dr. Pepper ad, completely contradicts that and detracts from what little credibilty Tay had to begin with. I mean, how are you gonna sell out before you ever really get put on, cause he’s not mainstream or particularly famous. Now selling out doesn’t mean endorsing corporate products, cause Alicia Keys just did a spot for Target, but you don’t see Alicia sexing up or changing her image just because Target’s throwing money her way. Even “The Roots” allowed one of their songs to be used in a Volkswagon ad. If you want to see a real satire of hip-hop videos watch The Roots, “What they do” video. They manage to satirize the sexism, money, ho’s, clothes, champagne hip-hop thing without having women parade around half naked.

If you turn your “conscious” song into a whack ass rap video with all types of sexist imagery the second a corporate sponsor comes knocking, then that’s not being consistent. Hypocritical is what it is. Tay is a textbook sell out.

@I love . . . Snickers

You know what comes to mind, actually? Spike Lee’s “Bamboozleed”. Where the Michael Rappaport character had the tap dancer and Damon Wayans convinced that the minstrel show they were doing was cutting edge satire, but it really wasn’t. It was a minstrel show.

Could this be the child Janet Jackson claimed she never had?

He looks like Michael Jackson. I think that is what bothers me the most!

It amazes me how many of you whack ass commetors, describe a self-rightous commentary on the brothers obvious visualy inane part of his message. Rappin’ about “sellout”,”coon”, etc. Then within your own comment—you using the word “n*gga” or some variation of it to describe this “differnt” brother. Maaaaan, that the whack sh*t right there! Some “…forrest for the trees” bullsh*t!! Wake up, pull up & show up.

He’s not a coon, leave that man alone. He aint no worst than these negro Southern rappers with gold in their mouth. Lrt him make some money.

That top picture is scary to me ……

THIS LOOKS LIKE JANET JACKSON AND BIG GAY AL REYNOLDS LOVE CHILD!!!!!!!!!!

He is not a coon! His song means something please read the lyrics. The reaason he did bikini dancers, gold grill, and rappers is to further explain Chocolate Rain. Yall are ignorant and its annoying.

Dre from Cali,

His song used to mean something, but it doesn’t anymore, now that he decided to go the route he went down for a stupid Dr. Pepper commercial. You’ve been Bamboozled, and you’re annoying.

Lean with it, Superman is wayyyy more coonish than this. WAKE-UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is the second time that I have notice that you have referred to a black person as a coon. You cannot be black using that extremely racist term to describe a black person. I beleive that you are a white women and that is why you have such a problem with black women I am done with this blog.

That is one of the most insulting things you could call a black person and you say it as though you don’t know your history. I think you do and your history consist of a lot of people in white sheets.

HIS VOICE AND FACE ARE CREEPY!! FORGET THE MESSAGE, HE LOOKS LIKE A MOLESTER

is it me or does he resemble Janet jackson?

LOL@coon of the day lol

omigod. i can’t believe he’s 25 years old…i looked him up on wikipedia. this is beyond bizarre.

DOn’t know why all black people expect every other black man or woman to be hardcore or cool. Some are nerdy, boho or just plain regular. We’re as versatile in personality as whites or other Americans because are experiences and history are linked. This guy got his 15 minutes for being unique and strange and he capitalized on it. Hope he saved the money.
