Okay, so Rap/Hip-Hop is for stupid entities who can't wrap their minds around musical composition nor appreciate actual real music. Rap/Hip-Hop proved to be the genre that was the least inclusive of all. They didn't even know what they had when Motuphi (aka Vincent-Nick Ciofani of Detroit) stopped jamming good music and started producing Rap/Hip-Hop. His music would've been put into heavy rotation to evolve the genre if their radio station DJs and music programmers had 3 brain cells to string together and not been so prejudiced against someone they thought was white (he's Italian with olive complexion, Dummies). They fucked themselves and Rap/Hip-Hop out of the (true) God of Rap, the only one that all of the famous rappers are afraid of and wanna ignore and act like doesn't exist hoping he'll go away and stop making them look like clowns who bounced out of a clown car with his college level rhymes and beats.
They locked him out cuz they was scared of someone who could actually really rap. If people hear him they might raise their expectations of rappers and expect them to get good at it like he is. He finally said "so be it". He went back to jamming REAL music again and I couldn't be more happy or feel more self-satisfied that I was more than right to think that Rap/Hip-Hop was beneath him, all along, anyway. Had they put him in the mix, I'd listen to the genre. But since they're weak-mindedly prejudiced against someone who can play instruments and produce his own hits and rap better than anyone who's been on the radio in the last 30 years, combined, I can't stand the genre. They're so weakly prejudiced that they'd rather be retardedly ugly than to beautify themselves with some good shit.
So Vini (Jimmy) Ciofani (Motuphi) went back to real music and we who were his fans before he devolved into a Rap/Hip-Hop "artist" are happy to have him back.
His freestyle Jazz songs on youtube, uploaded on various channels, are really literally written while they're being recorded. That's guitar bravery on a level where most guitarists will never get comfortable. He always plays leads to what Jazz songs he's writing without any rhythm support, just on the fly. He plays leads with no rhythm in his cover of Teenage Anarchist by Against Me! which is fronted by another transgender music artist and guitarist, Laura Jane Grace.

You'll love how Vini made the song his own and delivered it with a fresh energy that no other cover of the song online has. His guitar playing is effortless and almost seems like an afterthought to him. The guitar churns out a magic ongoing barrage of frequencies that cause your mind to envision it as accompanied, even though it's just his one guitar; as his voice effortlessly delivers the lyrics with a deep hard natural gravelly-ness that can give you the harshness of the Punk Rock scream without the screaming, in a softer more fun to sing with melody. I like Vini's version even better than the original artist. I didn't even like the song until I watched this cover and it reminded me of just how prolific Vini is. If it was for sale, I'd buy it right now. I like singing with Jimmy. I don't like the original screaming version where I have to fight to hit the notes when I sing with it.
Another good video to refer to would be his cover of Through The Glass by Stone Sour
He effortlessly jams this song out as well. On that same youtube channel is a cover of Enjoy The Silence by Depeche Mode that will blow your mind.
You'll see that Rap/Hip-Hop isn't the only genre that's been robbing us of Vini Ciofani.
So we can hope that this return to real music will result in all sorts of awesome new Pseudo Punk songs by Vini to rock our faces off to. It'd be nice to hear an official cover of the 2 songs just mentioned and some of his old hits waiting to happen, like Estranged or SuperFreek or even the song he wrote in remembrance of the 6 homeless kitties he was feeding that were murdered by his "Christian" white devil neighbor, Snitchin' Ass Ronnie (yeah, from the song), Home Homeless Kitties' Burden
