Chris Brown: The Interview with MTV NEWS Video + His Response to Rihanna’s 20/20 Interview
Nov 6th
Each year over one million young women are victims of domestic violence. Chris Brown sat down with Sway and MTV News on Monday in an interview to discuss how Chris has changed since the February incident with Rihanna. Another attempt from CB’s camp to do damage control to counter act Rihanna’s side of the story which aired tonight on 20/20.
Part 1:
Part 2:
Part 3:
Chris refused to give his account of the incident with Rihanna and released this statement in response to the previews of her 20/20 interview:
Sphere: Related ContentWhile I respect Rihanna’s right to discuss the specific events of Feb. 8th I maintain my position that all of the details should remain a private matter between us. I do appreciate her support and wish her the best. I am extremely sorry for what I did and I accept accountability for my actions. At this point I am taking the proper steps to learn about me and grow from my mistakes. I only hope that others in similar situations can learn from our experience as well. Abuse of any kind is always wrong. The rest I leave it to God.
Chris Brown To Speak, Again: “Chris Brown: The Interview” on MTV
Nov 5th
I’m not sure what to think of Chris Brown’s a.k.a. Crazy Eyes latest move. Is it Utterly Frustrating or Strangely Ironic that on the same night of Rihanna’s 20/20 interview Chris Brown has scheduled yet another interview (He has previously talked to Larry King, Angie Martinez) with MTV? The latest interview is set to air tomorrow night at 6pm on MTV, conveniently 4 hours before Rihanna’s airs at 10p.m. on ABC.
Seriously? The way I see it Chris had his turn to speak and now with all the media attention given to Rihanna’s revealing and exclusive interview now he wants yet ANOTHER chance to speak about “that night”. In the illustrious words of–well, myself–I can’t. I cannot. I refuse to believe this was a sincere effort at letting fans know what happen and about CB’s progress since the incident. Rather, his people that are #failures at strengthening his tattered image and are using this MTV interview as an opportunity to get his word out before hers.
I can’t.
I cannot.
I refuse.

Nov 2nd
“The Rihanna rain just won’t let up…”- Rihanna “Hard”
It won’t but that’s fine with me! A third single “Hard” featuring Young Jeezy has been released from RiRi’s “Rated R” album set to release November 23. The song premiered on Hot97 a few mins ago. What do you think?

Sphere: Related ContentBeanie Sigel To Jay-Z “I Ain’t Your Average Cat”
Oct 30th
This morning Beanie Sigel premiered his new diss track airing out his dirty laundry and clearing his chest against Jay-Z. The 7+ minute song, “Average Cat” goes in and talks about the BP3, Memphis Bleek, street cred, jail time among other things. I’m not sure how to feel about the record, it seems that Sigel held back a lot.
While one part of the song talks about an incident atthe 9/11 concert:
“The rapper Shawn called the police on me/cause I was front row at the Blueprint 3. S**t, I just wanted to see him MC, and reminisce on when we was the R.O.C./But he called all the C.O.Ps, not only that, he brought out the F.E.Ds/So that’s telling me ‘F You Sieg,’/so F you too and F Bleek three.”
By all means the record ends to be a slap in the Jay-Z’s face, but by the end of the cut Beanie tries to rub the sore spot saying:
“And don’t get it f***ed up: this ain’t the green light for everybody to start making diss Jay-Z record. I still got love for the n***a. This just me taking my brother out in the yard for 5 minutes.”
My thoughts: Go Hard or Go Home!
I think above the beef, the Wall Street Journal attempted to cover the story! Talk about what the WSJ deems newsworthy these days…
I can’t.
I cannot
I refuse.
Sphere: Related ContentI Can’t: Chris Brown on Angie Martinez
Oct 22nd
Dear Chris Brown,
Please refrain from giving uninformative interviews while sporting a bow-tie. For your Larry King interview, you were a bow-tie wearing “I don’t know…I mean…I was like ‘WoW’” fool, and now for Angie Martinez you still lack the capacity to articulate your thoughts. I just can’t with you. I do feel sorry that this is your life now but perhaps you need to hire better people to help you handle interviews…
I’m just saying.
<3,
I CANNOT
Sphere: Related ContentT-Pain responds to his comments on Jay-Z
Sep 9th
If you missed the previous posts on T-Pain’s comments at a Las Vegas venue, he started off saying: “Jay-Z is 59 years old. I don’t think he has the right to say what’s good and what’s not.” Get caught up on the rest here and see Fabolous twitter battle against T-Pain here.
T-Pain called into NY’s Power 105 radio station this morning and responded to/defended his comments.
T-Pain: “It’s not the first time I said it.”

Sep 8th
Well, as it has it T-Pain finally figured out the directly directed message that the song D.O.A. had in terms of his musical style and preference.
It was all good just a week ago...well a few months ago
According to MTV.com,
Over the weekend in Las Vegas, T-Pain’s praise for Hov apparently turned into scorn. There’s footage on the Internet where Pain takes aim at Hov during a DJ set.
“Jay-Z is 59 years old. I don’t think he has the right to say what’s good and what’s not,” Pain said at the club Rehab while on the mic. “I think if anything is dead, it should be him. … To any Jay-Z fans out in the crowd, excuse the f— outta me. But you don’t see me saying ‘rap is dead,’ even though it is. ‘Cause apparently all the rappers are trying to do T-Pain.”
Pain then started singing, “All rappers out there are using Auto-Tune …”
During an interview on New York’s Power 105.1 on Tuesday morning (September 8), Jay was asked about Pain’s comments.
“You have to ask him. I have no idea,” Jay explained to Ed Lover and Free about Pain’s comments. “I said he brought it back, at the time, which was cool at the time. I didn’t have a problem with it. I didn’t have a problem with a couple of people doing it, but when a whole genre of music is doing it, then it’s getting lame and it’s not cool to me. … I made it very clear I wasn’t talking about him. … ‘D.O.A.’ was just for the conversation whether you was for it or against it. Obviously some people felt that way. … You have to have two sides to have an argument.”
As for the recent comments about Jay’s age, he said, “Well, everybody has a birthday. I just don’t think they have much else to say. They can’t attack my credentials as an artist or my lyrics as an MC. You can’t really attack my lifestyle. What are you going to say about me?”
Jay was also a guest on New York’s Hot 97 on Tuesday morning, and when asked about Pain’s comments Jay shrugged it off, saying, “I hope he had a good time. I just hope he had a great time.”
In June, Pain had nothing but praise for the Jiggaman. He tweeted: ” ‘D.O.A.’ is the best song I’ve heard in a couple years.” Pain also told MTV News, “He only makes it better for me [by releasing 'D.O.A.']“
