Happiest Day of My Life?

Chip The Rippa is getting huge, take not, 'Catch the Beat,' and jump on his train. Many in Cleveland do not need to be told this, as he has been gaining popularity for quite a while now (from his lowly start at the Grog Shop on Coventry), even appearing in the Cleveland episode of "My Super Sweet 16;" but I have yet to hear anything about him outside of the wonderful NE Ohio, which seems surprising given the light speed quickness that music tips travel in the college world. It seems a band or rapper with any talent can't manage to stay undiscovered on the collegiate circuit for less than a month. Even here, as South as St. Louis I have been able to begin the spread. So how have big Miami U feeder cities, like Cinci and Chicago not become infected? I mean Oxford is notorious for blaring some surprisingly legit rap(mixed in with the solid 90s classics) during their wittily named house parties. Anyway, you want proof? Well download some songs and catch a concert. But, in the meantime, here is a movie that completely captures a) how hot Chip is, and will become and, b) proof that I'm not exaggerating (see the packed house in Bowling Green Ohio, the huge number of white kids hilariously unable to find the beat with their waving hands, the hot women, and best of all, Nate Pajek getting his dance on in front of gyrating booty and later, next to Chip).

I recomend starting at about 1:10 in, the highlight of the vid is at about 1:27, and the live music starts at about 1:37. Enjoy.

  1. First line should read, "take note," not "take not," could have been confusing.
