If u skip 10 seconds ahead just as he says chocolate rain, you will always land on when he says chocolate rain, keep doing it and it’s always when he says chocolate rain
This song came out when I was in middle school and man the lyrics hit pretty hard now that I’m older. This was actually a literal masterpiece and it’s good to know that this song is still getting the recognition it deserves
And only now as an adult, 15 years later, do I realize that Chocolate Rain is a protest song and not just a meme about moving your head away from the mic and chocolate raining from the sky. Glad I came back to this. TY Tay Zonday!!!
Real talk I am just on a nostalgia trip missing the future I was promised when growing up, and am pleasantly surprised to find the context I missed as a child.
the songs actually really deep but him moving away to breathe from the microphone always gets me lol someone said in the old comments it looks like he's not suppose to be there and is looking out for security 😂
Watching this at 13 and now 29 is such a difference. Never realized the power and pain behind the lyrics back then. It's subtle without being subtle. Such a good song!
Statistically I find that not accurate at all unless you have proof this is the most active comment section. It’s a fluke for nostalgia of RUclips videos of old who were the first “big” stars coming out of YT
These lyrics are actually so thoughtful, I've never heard more than clips of this song but I do not regret listening while reading along to the lyrics. Such an insightful masterpiece.
First heard this song when I was like 8 thinking it was famous because of his voice. watching it now all these years later hits so hard. this is a masterpiece. timeless. youtube's 18 year playlist appeared outta nowhere but I'm happy it's here because rewatching years later as an adult is special❤🍫🌧
When I was a kid I just thought this was a funny song about chocolate falling from the sky. But now I realize how meaningful and beautiful this song is. Instant classic.
This song randomly popped into my brain tonight and I am unsure how I feel about the fact that dozens of us had the same thought within a few days of one another. I want to know where Tay Zonday is today.
The contrast of the quirky video and childish title of "Chocolate Rain" done in combination with the extremely (and very well pulled off) dark subject matter of the song combined with its legacy makes me want to consider this song a modern masterpiece
It aids that in the regard that we look so much to our childhood to hide from current events, where it slaps you in the face that even in your moments of nostalgia the world still had problems.
@@thegoodestboy1223 wtf? How is it nonsense? It repeats the same lyric to drive a point, much like old school blues. I hope you're just mildly idiotic and not an active bigot
People commenting that he was ahead of his time. No he wasn't, we just weren't listening tell the scanners. We weren't listening tell the protests. We weren't listening tell people reminded us that people have been singing and screaming about this for years. This song is just one of the most upfront yet hidden song I can think of to say it. We all know it we all meme it. That's probably way out was chosen for the scanners. He wasn't ahead of his time we were just too naive. I may be white and not fully understand the meaning but jeez do black lives matter.
So do I, but I think we tend to sum up that era based on the classics. Gotta admit a majority of the videos at the time were either bland or bizarre, and not the good bizarre like this vid lol
Incredible song with powerful and relevant lyrics. 15 years later and this song still has the same power it had when it first released and is even more relevant today. Thank you Tay for your talent and dedication.
Its always been relevant, the only thing that's changed is that people are drawing more attention to the issue. Sadly, some people are only just realizing the meaning of this song.
people today will never get to experience old youtube. Where it felt like there were only a handful of big creators. The gold subscribe button, the star rating system. The way the old channels used to look were insane.
This song hits SO different now that i have some meaning, half the meme was having no clue what the hell this was even about but in context… i’m… just wow. “Build a tent and say the world is dry” is such a poignant line.
This WAS NOT in my recommendations. Did we all just had the same idea and having a nostalgia trip together? Reading the comments is like a family reunion.
Haven't seen this in years and randomly felt like checking it out again, I had never realized the profound and serious message behind the lyrics. Its crazy to me how such an earnest and deep song became a meme.
I was confused when a song about racism went viral. Now I'm just surprised that most people didn't even know it was about racism. It isn't exactly subtle.
Yep me too. It's weird because I never knew about it until I saw Red Letter Media reference it on one of their episodes a few weeks ago and it was in the back of my mind to look for it. Never did. Lo and behold, RUclips algorithm read my mind.

Because today ppl are doing anything and everything for attention. Back then ppl were being themselves and having fun.

@@bishopfamilyfarm1079 not for me
It's on newest comments, you realize that right?
I didn't realise the depth of this song when I first heard it. Pretty intense from a young kid.
What does it mean?
@@divinemusa8731 its about racism
And his 25 in this vid dont think thats young but yeah sure
Bruh he wasn’t a kid In this lol
young kid? he was 25 here lmao
It's crazy how no one reads the lyrics. When I was young I thought it was about poop but holy crap it is deep. Still 10/10
same man. I never realized what it really meant until recently. I used to think it was just literal chocolate rain.
You was right when you was young
@@jondoe5323what does it mean?
@@BooshtarAfrican Americans in the United States, obviously how bad they were treated originally
its about poop
Yep, randomly thought of this and here I am again lol
Why did RUclips just randomly push this classic banger out to so many of us CHOCOLATE RAINNN
Literally me like 2 seconds ago! lol Playing on our nostalgia..next up, Afro Ninja and Grape Stomp News lady.
Yep me too. It's weird because I never knew about it until I saw Red Letter Media reference it on one of their episodes a few weeks ago and it was in the back of my mind to look for it. Never did. Lo and behold, RUclips algorithm read my mind.
Reminding us of the goid times!
It pushed into my brain and I had to look it up 😂
Cringe
Did this just pop into anyone else's heads all of a sudden
literally about 5 minutes ago
Dude wtf same
Same here just about 5 seconds ago
How, at the same time?
2 minutes ago
Everyone came back at the exact same time, proves just how legendary this song is
Yeah wtf
I'm surprised to see so many people coming back around the same time to share very similar sentiments. Kinda spooky in a heart warming way
This is top 5 old old youtube
Jesus Christ I just noticed this as well! Algorithm pulled us back into the vortex of Tay Zonday. He’s just too powerful.
we all just randomly decide to look this up today after years?
Yeah lol
The fact that I'm not the only one here again amazes me too 😂😂
Yep
Yep
Yep
