Chris Brown sorry for his last Hit

Is anyone else getting really tired reading about the latest subhuman activity by a hip-hop/rap "personality" (I refuse to call them "artists")?

It's like trying to follow the latest indiscretion by your favorite politician. :mad:
 
I have nothing to say until I hear both sides of the story. I don't care about opinions or what everyone else heard or basically sometimes even the media because those sources are usually inaccurate, and I've come to the conclusion that most people will believe anything they hear and make a decision or judgement based on that half of or misinformation.

As far as music, I like Rihanna's music more, so I'm just glad nobody is messing with her songs. She's more open minded when it comes to music and has also touched on dance beats and other styles instead of sounding just like everyone else or just repetitively coming back with the same sound. She came along with a unique sound and changed the game way before everyone else started to jump on the electronic sound. Also big ups to Missy and Timbaland. They tried something new, and when everyone saw that they could use dance beats and be successful with it, a bunch of people started jumping on this style, which lead to the return of more creativity, open mindedness, and more different styles of music making it's way back into rhythmic radio, and now I can enjoy rhythmic radio again. I no longer care for the urban format.. but rhythmic and top 40 is good for me. Also, big ups to Akon for being real, and thank goodness these new hip hop songs coming out today seem to be trying to bring back the sensible lyrics and the true meaning of rhyming and rapping and all those stupid songs from 2006-2008 have pretty much disappeared from the non mixshow playlists of most stations. I think it was mostly those songs from that time period that pretty much killed hip hop and gave pop and electro-pop/dance the chance to find it's way back in, as people started abandoning the hip hop and moving on to other genres, which also opened the doors for other people like Lady GaGa who would've never made it in 2003-2006 or so (unless of course there was a reggaeton version of her songs). Then on top of that, this younger generation growing up into this "New" sound embrace it because they have no idea anything is changing in music. They are growing into it, so this new Kanye, Akon, Timbaland...etc sound is normal to them, and this will result in more creativity making it's way back as this "ghetto-tized" generation now becomes the parents and is no longer that younger generation. There was a time when hip hop was decent, before it became stupid, and now, although the peak has already been reached when it comes to dominating the charts, it seems to be going back to the decent and lyrically sensible side once again.

But getting back to the point, I'm not really following this entire Rihanna and Chris Brown situation until I find a source that can dig deep into the story and dig up some facts from both sides of the aisle. These days, if I can't get the facts, then I choose to just not know. THE SAME WITH POLITICS....

Chris Brown is not a hip hop artist, but he knows how to REALLY get down when it comes to making quality r&b and being a featured artist in hip hop songs, so I regret this entire situation happening, but because Rihanna is more open to experimenting with different sounds, I have to say I like her music a bit more. He should try other things. He's proven that he'd do good with house and other styles as well... Good luck to both of them.
 
Well, I actually took time to read what was posted behind that link, and I must say that this is probably the most accurate news coverage I've seen, because basically what I conclude from all that I've read is the fact

THEY HAVE NO IDEA.

So, until the truth, a fair and balanced report is released, and the facts of the ENTIRE situation are covered and I can come to a logical conclusion on whether or not anyone is really more at fault than the other, I have no opinion. If I find out they are still together in the end, I will just conclude that it must not have been that bad because common sense would tell you if somethings not good, then leave it alone... but not everyone uses common sense. Just look at politics... or the state of radio nationwide.

Just another BLACKEYE for Hip Hop music....
Chris Brown and Rihanna are more as a Pop/R&B act , not Hip Hop music.
