Naturally, legalities prevented this from coming any sooner but now that’s it time to sell records again…
Do you believe him? Is it genuine? Of course it is. Barring excuses for the domestic violence and teleprompter commanding the range of emotion, you have to consider the mind of 19 year old compared to an actual adult with the life experience to make rational decisions based on sound judgement.
Some still say the young boy’s career is finished. Please. Consider the facts that A-listers still cling to his talents efforts and Rihanna’s kooky behavior is everlasting. Throw in a hot single and your boy can do a milli in his first week. Remember, his Uncle Donny paved the way.
Plus, stranger things have happened.
Post Script – This was the proper approach because much like his maturity, his music is still underdeveloped.

under your umbrella eh? mmhmm.
Nah, fuck this kid. I know if this faggot did the shit he did to Rihanna to anybody’s grandmother/mother/sister/daughter/niece/cousin/etc. they wouldn’t listen to a word this bitch says. But, since it didn’t happen to them (the fans) they say “give him another chance”. I don’t think so brother.
Yeah, as much as I wanna forgive this kid, this ain’t the way to do it. He admitted his guilt but this just seems totally contrived. Again, I don’t place the blame soley on Chris, but it’s gonna take more then a video to make this go away.
Post Script:
This dude should ask himself “If someone did this to my mother would I give them another chance?” I think we all know that answer. Forgetting to pay a bill or spelling someone’s name wrong is a mistake. Beating the shit out of a girl, biting her and strangling her is much more than a “mistake”.
what, folks aint allowed to black out n start spazzin?
It’s gonna take time. At least as long as it takes to get another certified hit. Good music can make the public forget about alotta shit.
^You not lying, Amp.
Look at R. It took them HOW long to get him to trial?
In between that, we had TP3, Chocolate Factory, Happy People, etc…
All CB needs is that ONE hit, (no pun immediately intended) and he’s right back in the spotlight.
People get caught with trannys, flash a gun in the middle of a busy intersection in broad daylight, have babies and don’t claim them, piss on women, say nappy head-hos on national radio, dangle a baby from a balcony, shave their head and go nuts, get locked up for a year, get dunked on and steal the video, have extra marital affairs in Colorado, take steroids, and kill two people.
They turn out just fine once the next thing to focus on comes up.
Chris Brown will be no different.
Plus I would rather have a new CB album..instead of a rihanna one…
^
Yeah, but in the same way R Kelly’s name has become synonymous with pissing on children, Chris Brown is going to be forever associated with beating up women. Like any RnB singer, the whole act is about appearing to be this sensual ladies man – and what he did runs so contrary to that image that it’s going to tarnish EVERY ASPECT of ANYTHING he does in the future….
Ignition remix got Kellz back into urban music rotation quick. A hot track can make people look over a lot.
19 may not be 40 but dude’s still an adult and grown enough to know what he did was wrong before he did it. No justification.
sincere my ass, little R&B Bitch Ass!!!
Never listened to him before, damn sure won’t listen now.
What “needs” to happen to Chris is this…
He needs to be set up on that MTV show where they put fools who do ish like this in the ring with a professional MMA fighter.
Let him get beat real good.
Unless a chick is bigger than you (there are some BIG women out there) and is letting fists fly, there is never a reason to become physical with a female.
(And even in the above scenario… you cover and take that ish… or look like a punk after you uppercut the chick. Because really, who respects a man who hits a woman – even if she struck him first?)
TRA AKA The Game (Get It? No? Read below)
Enh… judge not lest you be judged. So I have to eat my words.
I still do not think anyone has to like dude though… or what he did.
Last time I have seen acting this bad it was at a David Talbot play. But he puts out some hits people will forgive him.
not trying to be funny or anything…but was he drunk, or on something? lots of slurring….If I’m off base, my fault….it’s just what it looked like to me…
and yeah, I’m not reading, and I’m pulling it off so well….
All I got to say is he’s got the longest 15 minutes this side of Brittney. I was sure he’d fade away after the first album, yet he’s still trucking away.
aint no Tebow…but’s its okay…
he needs to be assaulted for wearing that fucking shirt…
wtf is that thing?!
^^perhaps he’s gotten a job as a cook……..
what fred said.
is Chris Brown imitating Leon Spinks….?
Sadly, (IMO) his biggest target audience will still support him.
Everybody deserves redemption. He needs to put in some work @ a woman’s shelter or start a program for domestic abuse.
Matter-o-fact, the best decision might be to find spirituality and perform
Gospel, Christian, or non-secular music.
Since he admitted the truth, I can’t co-sign ANYTHING he does within the worldly realm.
He needs acting lessons…
(while she sings~~> “YOU GOT ME SATIN’ YO! I DUNNO YA NAME BUT EXCUSE ME MISS…”)
Dang, he kilt that one NaS joint ~~> “WE MAKE THE WORLD GO ROUND”
I understand some peoples reactions and statements of that he did wrong and should pay for it. But while everyone likes to say a man shouldn’t hit a woman .. it has happened, continues to happen and will happen to women. It shouldn’t and never would I condone it but at the same time I was raised in a religion that taught forgiveness and love.
I find it funny when MJ died the same folks who turned on him when he was the zany Diana Ross plastic surgery treatments who used to be black and might fondle little boys are the same crew who say you can’t talk about him now that he is dead.
I wasn’t a fan, but dude has a talent — let him live. Besides if you took out folks who had beaten on women, what do you say for JB?
Oh I forgot he is dead so it is all forgiven.
He’s still one of the better R&B performers of this generation though.
everybody is entitled to their opinions but i feel that fame put him on a pedistool. Women get beat on everyday but i dont see anybody rallying and blogging (like this) for them. Chris Brown is still very young, people tend to forget that when its not them thats being put out for the vultures to prey on. Im not saying he is right for what he has done, not at all but you have to see that he still has time to mature and a make a negetive a positive. im just sayin if you take away the fame….. make your opinion based on that
Wow. That post script said it all!
(And even in the above scenario… you cover and take that ish… or look like a punk after you uppercut the chick. Because really, who respects a man who hits a woman – even if she struck him first?)
———————————————————————————————-
Sounds like a lose-lose scenario. Who respects a dude after they get their ass kicked by a female?
As far as this Chris Brown ish go…he’ll sell a mill with the next hit. Depressing too, ’cause it would be a new low. Dude’s a year younger than me, so don’t act like he didn’t have the common sense to NOT do that–I got it, why don’t he?
This ain’t like MJ (RIP)–stuff never proven. Ain’t even like R. Kelly, IMO. (I was the same age as that girl when that came out and my response then was, “…So? These girls know what they doing.”) This man admitted to putting his hands on a girl, so while forgiveness is cool and all…you gotta wait a little longer than a few months before you start talking bout dropping tracks and whatever.
But he won’t. And it’ll make money, long as its “good”, too.
His advisers should have let him apologise sooner, this looks ehh.
From my perspective is he’s not the first ‘artist’ to do something this stupid and he damn sure won’t be the last. There are alot of fked up artists out there OLDER than him that should know better and the public still support them regardless. Paedophiles, abusers, whether it be drugs or women chill for a bit and all is ‘forgiven’.
Not comparing, but James Brown (RIP) was he not a woman beater? (allegedly), did it damage his career?, no, people still checked for him, R pissed on a child (allegedly!!), people said ‘that’s nasty’ and still bought his albums!! So how is it everyone is condemning Chris?
It may sound as if I’m defending him, I’m not, i’m just wondering how it’s one rule for one and another for him.
If he’d beat up another female artist that wasn’t as successful (read popular) as Rihanna, would he still be getting this much sh*t? Seriously.
As a woman, I don’t condone his actions full stop, however, there are three sides to this story and I haven’t heard any, just the media’s interpretation.
All the women gonna buy his shit cuz of his looks and they believe he was provoked which in their minds makes him innocent and justified
All the dudes still jocking are homos
You can forgive
But rewarding him for his actions(supporting his music) is just plain dumb
How is it that hes so sorry yet hes more focused on releasing music so that he can drop an album soon?
How many songs of his have been released so far since the guilty plea?
Like fuckin 12
Hes not bothered by the dv or caring about it
He will say whatever just so he can continue his career.
And to the CB stan “d”…..
If he woulda hit a regular chick he still would have been charge.
Period.
What kind of woman makes excuses for a man?
What kind of man beats a chick, runs away like a coward, denies it then finally admits to it for their career?
Whoever buys his music takes a big L
