This is what happens when you venture away from reality TV, Vin!

Jersey Shore star Vinny Guadagnino was criticized by the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN) and the Twitter community after posting a YouTube video of himself rapping a "Rack City Mix" with the explanation, "I felt like being a naughty boy and rapping like a G. Ladies I still love you."

So what did he say that got people all riled up?

"I ain't got a girl/ You ain't got a man/ I've got a date for ya/ And it's in my pants/ Oh, you a fan?/ You wanna take a pic?/ I like your crack girl/ I wanna take a hit/ Actin' like I'm raping it..."

Sigh, oh Vinny.

At first, the Jersey Shore reality star didn't understand what the hype was all about, tweeting, "Whoa! Some people really know how to take things out of context ! #LearnToListenToMusic ...It was fun though!" and later realized that it was time for damage control, "Sorry for offensive rap.I'm 100% against violence & work with many organizations to stop it. Will continue to do so."

A spokesperson for RAINN told E! News, "While we recognize Mr. Guadagnino feels remorseful, we urge him to go a step beyond a one-off-twitter apology. We ask that he take action to stand up for victims of sexual violence by connecting them with the help they deserve through the National Sexual Assault Online Hotline at rainn.org"
