This Song Sums Up 400 Years of Oppression.

The lyrics are great. Piano accomp. is good, too. The melody could use some fiddling with, though, and the whole thing might be called repetitive (although some might argue that's what gives the song its hypnotic effect). This is the first video of his I've seen, so it might take a while for his "idosyncratic" performance style to grow on me.

The comments on You Tube are asinine.

WOW!!!!! That link you posted wasn't for the faint of heart. The images were as strong if not stronger than the lyrics. But I cannot lie, as extreme as it may seem there were many truths in that video.

He finally hit the "big time".

*ZONDAY TO APPEAR ON LETTERMAN* on Friday!! Fire up those TIVO's--CBS's Site says that Tay Zonday will appear on Late Night with David Letterman 8/3!! He will be the musical guest, accompanied by Paul's Orchestra to play, what else...Chocolate Rain!! and several other numbers written by Tay for the show!! He will also be interviewed by Dave about his Youtube success, the roots of the song, and much more!!!

i think this song is very disrespectful toward rap artists and rap culture.
