    Well, not really … But doesn’t get much whiter than a rapper who name checks Peter Thiel. Inspired by the Facebook creation myth and The Social Network movie, Jay Kila the Viral Rapper (yes, you read that right) has created the above video, replete with animated Zuck.

    Usually I’d pull lyric highlights, but the lyrics here are just so good overall that I’m going to include the whole song.

    Lyrics below:

    They call me Young Zuck just a punk
    Tryna be in finals clubs no girls showin’ me love
    But I don’t give a fuck
    I was made to be great facemashin’ all my dates
    As I crash the network — college aged Bill Gates
    Not really a creep — okay, maybe social geek
    You can check out my blog I’m telling it when I speak
    Programmin up in my sleep I don’t got many peeps
    For friends — Eduardo he was one of them
    I guess — yes, well lemme get this off my chest
    I believe I’m the best when it comes to CS
    Facebook — yo, that was my idea
    Don’t let them Winklevosses tell you that I steal
    For real. I got the Napster as my bro
    And he knows that this thing is about to blow
    So I’ma hop on a plane to Palo Alto
    Call up Peter Thief and well…you know

    Chorus:
    I’ll be C.E.O (yo!) x 2

    Couple years go by I’m worth a couple of bill
    And all these haters want a piece they jus need to chill
    I look back on the site I was about to build
    And never thought or dreamed that it could be this ill
    I still got Asian groupies giving me brain
    But now the phoenix is the name of my private plane
    I abstain from doin’ drugs cuz I know cocaine
    Can really cause some peeps to go kind of insane
    But it’s kind of okay yea I’ve made mistakes
    500 million friends ain’t that easy to make
    I went from wiring in to be in Wired magazine
    And there’s no AEPI when I fly Caribbean
    Facebook — yo, it was meant to be
    A social network expert or my destiny
    jus a hacker turned legit a slacker and misfit
    But my business cards say I’m C.E.O bitch

    Facebook is the world’s largest social network, with over 500 million users. Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg in February 2004, initially as an exclusive network for Harvard students. It was a huge hit: in 2 weeks, half of the schools in the Boston area began demanding a Facebook network. Zuckerberg immediately recruited his friends Dustin Moskovitz, Chris Hughes, and Eduardo Saverin to help build Facebook, and within four months, Facebook added 30 more college networks. The original idea for...
