There is a guy in Minneapolis, I don't know what his name is but he is a Youtube.com star! He's got this video called "Chocolate Rain". I'm not sure what's so exciting about him singing in his broom closet and sounding like Barry White--but he's gotten like 6 million hits on their website! He's been on Jimmy Kemmel Live and all kinds of national shows like Good Morning America and The Today Show!
Well, I found out about his internet success after listening to my girl Kevyn Burger's radio show on FM 107.1--he was a guest--and talking about how he spanned the globe after people saw him on Youtube.com singing this silly a$$ song...
Moments later, I kid you not, I'm in the Cub Foods buying groceries with a hot check and before I could pay for them, the girl at the cash register asks me "Are you the guy who sings the Chocolate Rain song?"
I wanted to punch that heffa in the mouth! Now mind you, I ain't looking all girly-girly... I got my oversized Oprah sweatrhirt on, some big baggy sweats and tennis shoes--sportin' my Oprah cap (y'all know I loves me some Mrs. Sophia) and I got my glasses on. I rolled my eyes and said "Honey, I have breasts (although I'm still in a training bra), I've given birth and I have a husband--I don't think I'm the 'Chocolate Rain Dude' that you're looking for!
"Oh," she sighed, seeming disappointed, "You look just like him! Have you seen his video?"
I wrote the hot check for that cheap a$$ bacon and that generic loaf of bread that's so hard it might as well be a loaf of crutons--and I headed home.
I couldn't stop thinking about my encounter with that dumb a$$ GED drop out of a cashier--so I clicked on Youtube.com to watch the video again. All I could do was laugh y'all; this "brother" could surely be my sister! I'm sure our families spent some time on the same plantation...
