"iPods Down and Listen Up" (known as "iPods Down and Listen Up.MOV") is a video uploaded the 15 December 2009 in which Chris fails once again at rapping life. He refers specifically to "Jungle Fever" in the video, apparently unaware that this refers to an attraction from a white man to a black woman. That or there is a new black sweetheart we are unaware of.

Yo, what is up, homies, and homes, and home-misses... dudettes and dudates.

Momentary pause to recollect. I tell ya what, ladies, I have a game. Let's play Jungle Fever (Jungle Fever)! I'm the la—I am the man—the tiga man (the tiga)! Beautifully sexy panther! I pounce on, and you run away. I haven't missed that chase, anyway! And we chase for a while (a, a while), and then you wear out, and you take it like a gal (gal), and then you pound (pound-pound, pound, pound, pound-pound) until we'll be have our little tiga-panther cubs!
Or for—since it's Christmas time, let's make like I'm Mister—yo' Misses Claus. I have a... good ole heat, 'cuz I took... a bit o'... Viagra. Bam, ba-bam, bam, ho, ho-ho.
...Word! I have a confidence booster... and my confidence is at the max! So... there. That's the word of the day. Still an update on the CWCipedia, eyyyy?
Word up. Peace out.
Analysis
This is a song about Viagra and rape. Chris appears to have been prescribed Viagra by a doctor, or has obtained and ingested what he thinks is Viagra.
Chris also seems to confuse tigers and panthers, which are different species (panthers being a mutation of either leopards or jaguars). Although there have been attempts to mate male tigers with female panthers (to produce tiger/panther cubs), this has only produced stillborns. The hypothetical offspring would be called "Tigards", if they lived.
Alternately, Chris has indeed fallen in love with a black woman, and chooses to express this through creepy furry big cat metaphor. She is the panther and he is the tiger, a profoundly disturbing image of his depraved, subhuman sexuality.
