"Chocolate Rain" Gets a Shot of Caffeine

Posted Nov 29th 2007 1:25PM by TMZ Staff

YouTube phenom Tay Zonday, a baritone William Hung without the pitch problems, made a splash with his doofy rendition of "Chocolate Rain." Now, Tay-Z is back with a blinged-out video choc-full of strippers, rappers -- and product placement?

Zonday has parlayed his 15 minutes of fame into a good half an hour -- check out the video produced by True Entertainment to see who's payin' the carbonated crooner's bills.

Do you think Tay sold out? Leave your video comment below and you could appear on Friday's episode of TMZ TV!

17. I made a commitment to this business in 1993 & havent looked back, even though I make a grand a year through SAG, now in looking at this cat, I applaud his creativeness to get himself on several very popular mediums (TMZ, YouTube), however one must look in the mirror (or pop on TMZ for that matter), and realize that "hmm, im not that polished yet, should I practice?" In his case we may be looking at another 5 years, and with that being said, do you really want this exposure, right now anyhow? Knowing well that, lets be blunt, he stinks. But as americans we need to keep watching (honey, watch this, it HAS to get better). He may gain Sr William Hung status for a month & 25 grand, but is that worth it? For the rest of your career (or lackthereof)? Hollywood has a loooong memory. Just my 2 cents.
