I’ll be honest, I’m not your typical white kid from the suburbs. And by that I do mean I don’t listen to copious amounts of hip hop, rap, and r&b. Now don’t get me wrong, while I was in university I definitely went through a phase where I couldn’t get enough of BET and everything surrounding the east coast vs west coast rap drama/comedy. At some point during my undergrad days I just stopped listening to everything with a clever rhyme. Now don’t read too much into what I’m saying here. I still love the occaisional album by Nas, Clef, or The Streets, but I’m done digesting everything on that scene.
All those words aside I actually do like Chris Brown’s latest single {and not just because I caught him showing Tyra some dance moves, oh snap!}. I’m even overlooking the fact that this track was recently coopted as a Double Mint Gum jingle and appears regularly on the top 40 show Ryan Seacrest hosts.
mp3 : Chris Brown - Forever
Let’s look back at this one post and count up all the confessions I made. You should be proud, young reader, that you’ve stumbled upon a blogger who, for at least one week of confessions, possesses this much integrity. Here’s a quick list. 1: I used to love watching BET. 2: I’m a white kid from the suburbs. 3: I’ve occaisionally been caught watching Tyra. 4: Sometimes I listen to top 40 radio, even when it’s Ryan Seacrest doing the voiceovers. 5. I do, in fact, enjoy this track by Chris Brown.
Now for those of you wondering out there, and I know almost all of you are, this track from Mr. Brown appears on a special edition reissue of his album Exclusive. The new reissue is called Exclusive : The Forever Edition (amazon) (itunes) and this track pops off as track number seventeen. Just to be absolutely clear Chris Brown has about eleven versions of this album currently in worldwide circulation, but the reissued ‘forever edition’ is the only one that has this track.

well, it is a good joint…
And being a ‘non-white’ from the suburbs who loves RnB, I am disappointed at the ‘pop’ sound of Chris’s latest songs and most of his endeavors since hooking up with pop queen Rihanna. I truly understand the money side of this move. So I guess I’ll just have to enjoy his dancing and charismatic personliaty - but look to the few true RnB artist for my musical enjoyment.

Hey \”Everyone makes a mistake\”. What a bunch of CRAP!!
Blech. That guy makes me throw up in my mouth.
That had nothing to do with chris brown & rihanna in any way shape or form..
i kinda like the R&B music of Chris Brown but i don’t like the way Chris Brown beat his ex girlfriend Rihanna.
Chris Brown makes the best hip-hop and r&b music today. i have a full collection of all the albums of Chris Brown in my home. It is too bad that his relationship with Rihanna did not work out well.
