CHRIS BROWN

"With You" is my jam.

"kiss kiss" is gr8

"Forever" = full on pop house. And I approve. The video seems appropriate too:

Yeah, I really like "Forever" a lot.

coming here to rep for forever so glad theres gonna be another summer of wistful fake timbaland house joints

I like this kid a lot when he does upbeat pop; his ballads tend to be kind of unlistenable.

was just listening to "with you" and admiring his restraint as a singer. he's totally confident with his voice, and really knows how to lay back. ("with you" pretty much rips off its acoustic-guitar groove from "irreplaceable," but i don't mind.)

his voice is the shit

imo i think he's an awful technical singer but i love the way his voice warbles and how reedy it is

RIP

well his restraint might be a factor of lack of technique, i don't know. but i prefer undersinging to oversinging.

(there are parts of that song where he loses the melody, but i'm not sure if that's his fault or the song's.)

what i mean is, if you listen to a song like "no air", he's completely blown out of the water by jordin sparks in terms of straight singing, but i think brown makes the song. he knows how to fuck around with his voice (like a natural over-autotune or something) and he really knows his place in terms of restraint (which you brought up, otm to you). way more skilled than a lot of ppl give him credit for i think

your original post really otm tho

chris brown & lupe fiasco freestyle on jaylib - the red

Dude seems physically incapable of not mugging directly into the camera at all times. It's endearingly goofy.

this kid really brings out my inner Alex in NYC

"With You" has been on repeat for over an hour, I see no reason to change the situation.

"Kiss Kiss" is worthy of the Human League circa Travelogue.

"Throwed" needs more love (it ain't a single but it could be)

Where is his cover of "Hungry Eyes" by Eric Carmen? Someone should get on that.

"Kiss Kiss" is worthy of the Human League circa Travelogue.

!!!!!!!!!!

opinion provided by noted sane person marcello carlin

Chris Brown seems to me to be exactly what a Pop Star right now should be, and in that sense he's the most Warholian of Pop Stars since Britney.

Also, he is HOT

ehhhh i like his music tons and all but he doesn't have bsb or britney or 50 pull or anything

Warholian? I mean I guess there's something 'pop art' about the way he does all these award show performances where impersonates Michael Jackson, then impersonates Timberlake impersonating MJ, and then goes back to straight MJ, but just...no. No.

xpost

Come ON, the bit where he walks into the crowd.

Okay so maybe I was freaking out a little last night because I wanted tickets to see him in Dublin so badly, but I got them so...!!!!

Also, he is HOT

^^i'll cosign this (but not the warhol stuffz)

still jam 'with you' and 'kiss kiss'

Anyone seen him live? I've just bagged review tix for Jan 4 in Nottingham.

youtube clips are promising, I'm v. v. excited!

v. excited (chris brown gets a boner in Dublin)

wait, you need to click through to the High Quality version!

he'd best to invest in a good personal security detail...

Word
77 already has a hit out.

So, is it true what I'm reading, did Rihanna beat up this poor guy's fists with her face?

he better not end up in prison
aint gonna survive a single day in teh county after what he did to 5Head

Yo (Excuse My Fists)

Babe pretty thick wit the kick that's sick that need to be hit

aint gonna survive a single day in teh county after what he did to 5Head

i don't know, do you really want to contemplate what ILX would be like without noted poster 'warmsherry'?

Jay-Z Vowes Revenge "Hes A Walking Dead Man"

Jay-Z "hit the roof" when he heard about the alleged assault on Rihanna, according to an insider. A source close to Jigga says that Jay-Z has vowed to get revenge on Chris Brown if the story ends up being true. “He hit the roof. Chris is a walking dead man. He messed with the wrong crew,” the source told US Weekly.

lol

he's got chris martin on his ass already

I feel like he's been consistently churning out singles that would be good to great without him on it.

Yeah p much. "Love More" had one of the most insane beats I've heard in a minute and I'm pissed as fuck at whoever produced it for giving it to him instead of anybody else.

actually kinda like "new flame," the shameless 2008iness is surprisingly charming

just wish it was Usher & Usher f/ Usher

this would be much better

you guys hated on a bunch of good songs toward the end of this thread ('loyal' 'show me') (fuck 'cut her off' though) but 'new flame' is basic trash

i like basic trash ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

yeah that song is openly garbage

the way the melody tracks that rinky dink beat is the hackiest thing

http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/02/showbiz/chris-brown-plea/index.html?hpt=en_c1

I don't remember a bipolar diagnosis being something that was even talked about as a possibility

Why does is every straight rap w/ guests track Brown does straight fire, world works in mysterious ways

Chris Brown ‏@chrisbrown

I say what I want. If u don't like it.... "SUCK MY ASS" ( little Asian girl voice)

accidentally discovered deep into some Spotify Christmas playlist:

Chris Brown, "Try a Little Tenderness"

https://instagram.com/p/2Yi084PpW4/

Um

yeesh

so I guess our man chris brown is a 'street artist' and has done some grafiti type stuff.. so when you visit the hallowed grammy museum in los angeles his stupid ass is the last thing you see before you leave because they have a piece he did of his influences.. prince -> james brown -> michael jackson -> chris brown

=(

http://www.vibe.com/2015/01/chris-brown-grammy-museum/

first take is that's soooooo wack but the second take is well you bought tickets to the LA grammy museum so that's on you

its actually not so bad.. its like a smaller rnr hall of fame. but otherwise, yes guilty as charged.

but if you need more proof that the riaa is forcing this asshole down america's throats, here's yr proof.

feigned surprise

he's gonna murder someone at some point

if he hasn't already

With You is definitely still a jam though.

At the end of the LA Times story about this, regarding an earlier unprovoked assault:

“Clearly, thus far, such extreme consequences, such as the loss of his career, court-mandated rehabilitation, and even jail time, have not deterred Brown’s conduct,” the complaint states. “Perhaps, this time, the imposition of punitive damages for his despicable and unforgivable conduct will.”

What fucking loss of his career?

― how's life,

it won't stop

The term "rage broccoli" almost justifies SFJ's tenure at the New Yorker.

https://pitchfork.com/news/chris-brown-sued-over-alleged-sexual-assault-at-his-house/

that's horrible

fuck this fucking guy and all of his enablers

Det. Meghan Aguilar confirmed to Pitchfork, “We do not have any open investigations into Chris Brown for a criminal matter.”

Welp!

Arrested in Paris on suspicion of rape. The reckoning, I hope, is nigh.

hearts all over the world tonight

B-b-but the cOmPeLliNg ArT?! Let's not rush to judgement here.

cOmPeLliNg ArT

No such thing here.

That's subjective, but I refuse to argue on behalf of Bhris, so I'll allow it.

surely *this* will finally end his career!

NARRATOR: it did not

Jay-Z could have ended his career years ago and chose not to (he's a business, man), but maybe this time it will be different.

surely *this* will finally end his career!

at this point I half-expect this will revive, not kill his career

I mean, in recent years it's been Chris Brown being inserted into songs to rescue the careers of underperforming artists (Tinashe, Sevyn, K. Michelle), this will do absolutely nothing to stall his career and it's disgusting, the idea that a man who seems to hate women so badly is still the solution to the problems faced by women in the industry

Apparently his record label won't drop him. Alas.

rca records strikes again

I quit listening to him after Rihanna incident. was enough for me.

won't kill his career tho

would love to see him try and breathe with no air

After his release, Brown took to social media to deny any wrongdoing.

"I want to make it perfectly clear, this is false," he wrote on Instagram, alongside a picture that said: "This bitch lyin'."

He added in all-capitals: "I wanna make it perfectly clear...this is false," before going on to say it was "against my character and morals".

I guess that’s that

people will make excuses for him until the day humanity is extinguished
