"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. Chris also mentions taking Viagra in his rap.
Transcript
[Chris makes liberal use of his gangsta-speak in this video]
Yo, what is up, homies, and homes, and home-misses... dudettes and dudates. This ain't no update on da Sonichu thang; still workin' on it, but listen [tries to turn this into a song] up, up-up, up, up, up-up! Listen up! Put down your iPods, and listen up! I had a test that shows... the stock market had a risin', hooooooes! I tell you what now. Tell ya what, tell ya what (what-what, what).
[a momentary pause to recollect]
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)! You're the sleek, 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 (although his sex life being what it is, God and the Bear alone know why), 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. Similarly, Chris's potential offspring would be called CWCtards.
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 violent, subhuman sexuality. Just in case the woman is not turned on by the idea of big cats having inter-species sex with each other, Chris amps up the horror by revealing that he has sexual fantasies about being Santa Claus (or "santasies", if you will).
Either way, he plans to rape this woman, and fails to realize that using Viagra isn't something about which one brags.
