CHRIS BROWN

well nah if anything it comes off more like the song chris brown woulda been singing yknow?

ugh fuck kanye for him making me weight this shit up even for a second rather than getting whatever vague belated summer pleasure this song mighta had

meanwhile bow wow has a video out of chris brown bowling

just to make the point that i've never gone "ugh fuck kanye" like that b4 - this sounds really stupid but yknow over the last 6 years or whatever i feel like i've got a pretty rounded handle on the lassitudes of his persona and whatnot and this thing really has crossed a new and different line in crassness, even if he didnt mean it like it sounds. he is just bang out of order imo.

feel free to convince me otherwise, but.

this is... unfortunate i think. it def fits into kanye's career - cassie in the "stronger" video, even him showing up in that hilson video even tho he's not in the song - and def fits his personality of trying to always make as big of a splash as possible. and i think in his mind he's doing something good for her, but he's putting her on display and exploiting her, and i don't think that he would've chosen her to be in this video if it wasn't for the battery incident and the fact that she disappeared from the public eye because of it. since it's kanye there's no doubt that he's trying to make some statement with it - and duh it's block headed - but i can't really figure out what it is, except maybe the empowerment angle, and if that's true it's just very poorly executed. i think i have to side with rtc on this one.

showing up in that hilson video even tho he's not in the song

?????

trying to make a deal out of having pointless starpower in videos even tho videos rarely have impact on anything anymore

but...he's on the song

yeah wtf

how soon we forget "dessert OR DISASTER"

nah nah nah

there was a video for "make love" where her and keri fondle each other on a bed iirc - universal calls it a "viral commercial" whatever the hell that means - anyway the embed's not gonna work cuz it's on universal's youtube channel, but click thru

calling kanye "her" = a freudian slip

really kinda kanye's publicity grab was brought up on the chris brown thread around the same time this comes out

kinda surprised, rather

big lolz @ a 'viral commercial' that's managed to go virtually unnoticed for a month despite starring someone who i find myself hearing about every damn time i look any any website ever

even bigger lolz @ it being shot during kanye's brief mullet period

i hope his next album has some lines about his mullet period like "yeah that tuxedo might've been a little guido"

if chris brown smacked kanye > or < than hamilton's assistant punching him?

<<< yung berg running into a wall and knocking himself out

nothing will top hamilton getting punched and i'd rather see ye punch chris if anything

oh right, so he is actually bowline, why didn't they just put the camera at eye level?

the actual video isn't really offensive at all

brown pleads guilty

5 years probation is probably a bitch but i think he should've gone to prison for some amount of time

yeah i heard some dumb chick call into the radio like "5 years is a long time, that was really harsh" smh

wow, if he's straight copping to it then fuck yeah he should've done some prison time.
if there's any good from this, it's the judge imposing a two-way restraining order so both of them can make some kind of attempt to reset. But really, beating people badly then admitting to it should involve some punitive measures shouldn't it? NAGL.

yeah, but the way our legal system works, you generally get off easier if you plea out

also if you're spectacularly rich.

dickface

i gotta say, i'm not at all mad at jay-z for blackballing chris from the BET awards MJ tribute

as much as people say "LOL JAYZ SCARED OF AUTOTUNE OH NOES", it's nice that he's not so concerned with going where the money is that he can still call chris brown a dickhead

omg what the hell

holy shit @ whiney's link - i think at this age he's leaning a bit closer to "huge fucking dick" to "a kid with good intentions making bad decisions (ie bow wow video)"

you stay class, Chris Brown.

i wonder what the people he's surrounding himself with are saying to him.
wouldn't one of them say "hey dude, the 300K not my fault pendant? I'd let that one pass for the next few months"

i think it's been well established that lots of famous people (and i guess powerful people in general) only surround themselves with yes men so i doubt that chris brown's assistant is going to risk his scorn by going "uh that chain you just paid $300k for is probably in bad taste and you should never actually wear it"

and like i think i would be able to give the chain a pass on some "alright you are clearly young and dumb" shit if it said SORRY or IDIOT or basically anything but OOPS!

really the only way this could be worse was if the chain said OOPS ¯\(°_o)/¯

"my bad dawg"?

i can think of lots of other ways that this could be worse

the true hero here is the jeweler, who milked him out of $300K and made him look like an asshole

coming here to post that I just had lunch one table over from chris (and entourage) not fifteen minutes ago at American rag on la brea. They were necking out MILFs and giggling about it. and his bentley's license plate is MRBENT

HI DERE otm, and i have no problem with him making horrible tasteless decisions like this if it makes it that much harder for him to rehabilitate his image and have a career again

it's too bad the text-on-crotch BAPE look is so last year because I think he'd look good with "SHE STARTED IT" in neon orange across the front of his jeans

I sincerely wish with all my heart that someone would beat the everliving shit out of him and put him in the fucking hospital

is it weird that i've always had such a strong dislike for him and general impression that he's a huge asshole that my opinion of him hasn't actually changed much at all in the past 6 months? like i at least feel justified for it now, but the feeling's pretty much the same.

yeah I feel the same some dude

tho I will say that the self-righteousness of certain anti-Chris people gets on my nerves

fifteen minutes ago at American rag on la brea

you get some new shoes?

there's no way that chain could be a direct reference to beating the shit out of rihanna...that's just way too stupid for any human being to do let alone spend 300k on. Doesn't his mom like manage him or something??? you'd think she would say, "hey, maybe get a different word"

or is there just no judgment going on in this kid's world

he's probably outgrown mom management and based on his first public apology being from inside lil bow wows batcave bowling alley i don thtink it's a stretch to say that it's a direct reference to the rihanna situation - what else is he saying? "oops! im rich as hell!"?

also i agree, i would like to see chris brown get beat up unmercifully and i for one really love his music - beating a woman that badly and then having no discernible remorse is just beyond despicable
