CHRIS BROWN

I think another angle that contributed to this Chris Brown fiasco is black nationalism. When the Chris Brown/Rihanna fiasco came out, I heard and saw a lot of anti-Caribbean talk coming out of a lot of black American's mouths. Chris Brown is seen as "one of us" meaning he is a good ole southern black boy who is misunderstood and trying to do right. Even though in his music and public appearances that $#%^ hasn't shown any humility at all.

Rihanna is the exotic, Caribbean girl who "has to be unstable because all Caribbean girls are" so black Americans just can not believe she is totally innocent. Since she is "not one of us" she has to be evil and deceiving.

This is probably why I support Amanda Knox, to be honest.

don't worry Chris, Rosie's got yr back!

"he's a victim too" dontcha know

not really clear on who's victimized him, myself

his dad beat him iirc

may just have beat his mom in front of him, i dont remember

"it is not a simple discussion – layers n layers."
^ but brown seems bent on playing the heel here

I can understand why fellow psycho celebs would be sympathetic to guy, but they don't seem to grasp that the kid needs HELP more than he needs people to shower him with praise and ignore his self-pity/violence.

Esp since this is a guy who seems to pick high-pressure, high profile moments (the night before the Grammys, backstage of Good Morning America) to go fucking apeshit.

trying to think about any abusive celeb who totally got their shit together after counseling and drawing a blank

so i guess people should just politely ignore their violent episodes, then?

And I'm guessing abusive celebs who get their shit together tend to fly under the radar better than those who don't

xp not my point at all, just musing out loud

this guy has like 38 singles on the radio right now

I assume he's planning on beating the winner of the contest with the iPad

for stealing his ipad

DAT PAD

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to win a Touch from Omarion?

"no bullshit" is incredible, no bullshit

production-wise it's pretty great, can't really co-sign the song as a whole

it's pretty much catnip for me as you can imagine. haven't been listening to r&b radio as much as i should

i wouldn't imagine "make you come over and over again...AND I'MA LEAVE IT IN!!" being catnip to anyone but the creepiest #teambreezy fangirl

lol

weird to me that tha bizness don't get more work

i still can't 100% deal w/ chris brown singing about adult sex -- i can't tell if that's something with his performances or just personal bias

why does this thread get so much more play than most other pop/r&b artists?

half tabloid nonsense, half chris brown has 38 songs on the radio right now

i guess we've escaped the full force of his comeback here then, he's fairly ignorable apart from the occasional tabloid nonsense. idk just cuz someone's on the radio doesn't mean they have to be talked about - the tone of this thread is desultory w/r/t the actual material, is it not worth actively trying to ignore him?

idk i've liked all the singles off fame

are we sure that's not radio stockholm syndrome again, nothing i've heard has warranted a second thought from an artistic perspective, let alone a second listen - and we have enough ushers and taio cruzes making rubbishly average r&b radio pop (who aren't hideous people) already

well, "no bullshit" is a nice lush r&b song, albeit w/ some creepy overtones as outlined by shiplo -- "no bullshit" is just a great rap song that barely has any traces of chris brown & "yeah 3X" is not exceptional or anything but the part in the chorus where the beat drops out is partic great for a song of its ilk

i have no opinion on the new new single

by "no bullshit" i mean "look at me now"

You should keep second guessing whether people really like things imo. It's a v good look. xps

Chris Brown now has 3 singles out that I tend to leave on and enjoy when they come on the radio ("Yeah 3X," "No Bullshit" and "Look At Me Now"). this is really difficult for me to accept.

i would like to think that me of all people grudgingly admitting this can be taken as a very difficult moment of truth

Chris Brown can still die in a fire afaic

idk just cuz someone's on the radio doesn't mean they have to be talked about

the quality of the FAME singles has to make you realize how much everyone in the music industry wants him to succeed. tha bizness, diplo, busta, weezy, etc. he's routinely the worst part of these songs.

blazing otm

all of this just makes me wish that the industry hadn't sunk all of their money into such a little shit

yup

well he has had a handful of dope songs post-beating and has been all over the radio like it or not, i kinda wish peeps itt wouldnt be all falling all over themselves and shit to OFFICIALLY DISTANCE THEMSELVES from anything to do with this (admittedly dumbass) 21 year old, it's like we get it deal with it or stfu already

only dope song he's had post-beating is "Look at Me Now" and like zach said, he's the worst thing about it

i wouldn't imagine "make you come over and over again...AND I'MA LEAVE IT IN!!" being catnip to anyone but the creepiest #teambreezy fangirl

hahaha - i just meant wrt its obvious "bed" debt & you know i'm a sucker for any songs that sound like this

he hasn't done anything sufficient to stop me continuing to judge him on his behaviour. fair enough if he'd come out with the kind of UNDENIABLY AWESOME MONSTER pop song that you have to give in to in the end, but if his material is just kinda dope or aight or songs you "don't mind" hearing that's really really not enough to cut him slack and pretend everything's okay again
