CHRIS BROWN

i wonder if Jermaine Dupri remixed it just to capitalize on the fact that Chris Brown sounds exactly like him when he raps (Da Brat's verse on that = best thing to ever happen to this song btw)

busta's verse is nice but the rest of that song is a mess. wtf at that bop-it! production

Beat is cool! Lmao at "bop-it! production" tho

predictably the phrase "bop-it! production" is actually making me want to hear this

It was produced in some part by diplo

According to Afrojack, the song is the product of a beat he passed along to Diplo, telling Akshay Bhansali of MTV News that "Diplo called me. And he was like, 'We are in the studio right now, and we are gonna do a track on the beat.' And I was like, 'OK, whatever. Have fun'."

for some reason when Diplo matches a beat with an artist he gets a production credit instead of an A&R credit

lol I did try to listen to this before and bailed before the chorus

I keep forgetting that I love Busta, there is too much music in this world

xp yeah I never quite understood that -- I just assumed that there was some unspoken of tinkering by diplo that earned him the credit

it's a good track once you get past CB's contribution
busta's so fun.
Also, this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3A9Biseb4s

i do like that beat

beat is ass, if it wasn't for busta's somewhat overrated verse this would be a straight up goose egg

im gettin paperrR?

actually wayne's verse is much better than busta's let me take that back. i never actually make it to the end of this song

not a fan of the "little tunechi" schtick

what dont u like about the beat? seems perfectly unique / competent to me

Yeah, beat is great. I would totally f/w this song if not for CB.

the beat under the verses is good but that synth whine on the chorus kinda sucks

it's very cheap-sounding, and all the space puts me off for some reason - the sounds just don't feel like they belong together. and like i said the bop-it! effects are corny

this beat is dope but yeah, CB

I think the first time I played that I only made it 15 seconds in because I was also trying to watch the video

haah

The beat feels really early to mid-2000s. It needs a little hop or skip, since that one bass note gives it no lilt.

This is a good thing.

it does? what's its lineage?

seriously can't believe ppl are feeling this cheap ass beat!! no joke i thought my friend made it when he first showed me the song a few months ago

yeah it does have kind of a 'kid gets some new software and sees how retarded a beat he can make' vibe to it

lol rap always seems to have an appetite for this kind of sparse beat w/ weird sounds type production

hey don't you go dissing a-rab xp

Maybe I'm just thinking this cause I was just listening to his mixtape (power of suggestion and all that), but it kinda sounds like like Mr. Collipark's sparser moments? Really I just think it's a bit of a throwback in that it sounds like a fun rap song with crossover appeal that isn't all MOR-ified or tranced out tho.

More mid-late 00s than early-mid.

You just can't put anything past fans on Twitter.

On Saturday, fans of Rihanna were shocked to find that not only was her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown following her on Twitter, but she was following him back. And they were not happy to see their favorite singer showing any signs of reconciliation with her abusive ex, even if was only on a social media site…

One fan actually called Rihanna out on the follow, tweeting at her: " I never thought you would go back to him! You better not, it's your life but you do have (people) that look up to you. e.g. young girls."

The 23 year-old "S&M" singer didn't take too kindly to the idea that Twitter follows meant getting back together with Brown, so she responded to the fan: "its fu--in twitter, not the altar! calm down."

The fan (a 14-year-old girl) then quickly apologized to Rihanna for upsetting her and was rewarded with an apologetic tweet from her idol: "babygirl I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt or offend u! Just needed to make it clear to the (fans)…xoxo"

Do you think it's a bad idea for her and Chris Brown to follow each other on Twitter? Or do you agree with Rihanna and think it's harmless?

I think I'd need to see a full list of who she follows and who follows her to make an informed decision.

loll

I think she needs to be a little less confrontational with the people who spend money to fund her karaoke-stripper career.

How do you manage to maintain such concentrated acidic douchery so regularly?

i'm sure she's very nice to l.a. reid

anyway that post just leaves me wondering if anyone has ever combined a strip club & karaoke bar & if not how much start up money such a place would require

i should've known

Oh, well...you got me there buddy. ZING-TO-THE-MAX!

Take our Poll
Chris Brown and Rihanna following each other on Twitter

Do you think it's appropriate for Chris Brown and Rihanna to be following each other on Twitter after what happened?

Yes, it's been two years and they've moved on

No, she needs to be a role model for her young fans

As long as they don't meet up in real life, who cares

I got told this weekend (twice, by completely different people) about a place like this in Portland.

i feel like "rihanna called me babydoll" is something you can put on a resume

Round one to HOOS

Chris Brown's Polka album forthcoming just in time for Christmas.

never change, Chris

i've kind of made peace with the idea that CB is such an unhinged and unrepentant dickhead that no matter how successful he is right now it's all going to catch up with him sooner or later and i may as well just enjoy watching him slowly crash and burn

might be awhile - I'd say dude has at least another 5 years in him

yeah -- but i mean he's already clearly made a permanent heel turn, he's never gonna go back to being a mr. nice guy who people all pretend never did anything wrong or sketchy

which was what i was most wary of when he first started his comeback and was grabbing sympathy crying at the BET Awards etc.
