User:Meepmoto27/Curtis "Rain" Nguyen

Curtis Nguyen (Born February 5,1994) is an internet personality. He first gained fame in his 2009 video "Curtis Rain" which featured Nguyen rapping as somewhat of a parody of the video Chocolate Rain by Tay Zonday. He raps about a variety of different topics ranging from getting an A+ to not doing drugs or drinking alcohol. The song in general parodies the conventions and ideals of modern rappers who frequently rap about taboo subject matter by saying that he does the opposite. He also appeared in the video "Cut It Off, Cash It In, Curtis Rain" where he raps in Spanish. The song was inspired by Nguyen's high school Spanish class where the teacher would frequently sing the song to teach conjugation. Nguyen remixed this song, but it was not anywhere near as popular as his first video "Curtis Rain". Nguyen is scheduled to star in his own talk show series on Youtube that will also be released as a podcast on iTunes. The tentative title for the series is The Curtis Rain Show. It is expected to premier some time in mid-2010 and will feature a variety of guests ranging from Dr. James Corbett PhD. to Tim Garrity.
