Chris Rock's controversial new/old video hits YouTube

Rock is raising eyebrows after a 6-year-old video surfaced this week showing the comedian doing a parody of the OutKast song "Hey Ya."

"Crackers" was written by Rock and writers from the Chris Rock show in 2004, according to AOL Black Voices, But the video was not released until now.

"What the hell is going on here?" New York magazine asks. The magazine calls the content "really unsettling" and "plenty strange," and cites controversial lyrics like "My father's light-skinned/he hates you cracker bastards 'cause his dick is so small" and "You raped my grandma."

Some critics call the new-old Rock video racist, but the magazine questions the timing of the release, openly wondering if it was "secretive marketing for Rock's new movie Death at a Funeral." Meanwhile, IFC.com called it "a reminder of a time when people really cared what he had to say."

Rock's new film is a remake of a 2007 film and stars Martin Lawrence, Tracy Morgan, Zoe Saldana, James Marsden, Danny Glover, Loretta Devine and Luke Wilson. 

The 2004 video spoof can be seen below, but be warned. It includes graphic language, including the use of the N word.
