Chris Brown took a break from subtweeting Rihanna to sashay across the stage at San Francisco’s WiLD 94.9’s WiLDJAM concert. The Bay Area crowd received the first live taste of “Fine China,” the lead single from X that has been remixed by Common. Judging by the fan-captured footage, that taste was quite bitter.

Chris Brown has released “I Can’t Win,” a poignant track about his rocky relationship with Rihanna which won’t be appearing on his upcoming album, X.

“Tell me what did I do to make you hate me so much,” he croons in the first verse. “Why you angry all the time? Why you don’t wanna ride with me? Girl, we used to make love. When you called, I would follow. Now the only thing you love is a bottle. The only thing you got left is a shadow.”

If you were under the impression that rappers weren’t as sensitive as their R&B counterparts, you couldn’t be more wrong.

Drake follows Jay-Z by unleashing a few bottled emotions of his own. Instead of breaking his silence on wax, he spoke on his rumored feud with The Weeknd, Rick Ross’ rape lyric and beef with Pusha T with Rap Radar’s in-house cackler, Elliott Wilson.

The highlight of the interview, however, was his sharp thoughts on Chris Brown. Of course Chris caught wind of the rant, but instead of an infamous Twitter tirade, he simply tweeted, “Lol.” Read More »

Fabolous flew to Dominican Republic to have Chris Brown outshine him in his video for “Ready.” Chris, clad in Samurai Jack gear, added authentic youthfulness to the video. While scenes of him dancing before a stunning landscape flashed by, 35-year-old Fabolous’ freshly cut hair helped him swoon the maid. Read More »

It happened three years ago at the BET Awards, and it’s happening again now–Chris Brown is clutching Michael Jackson’s glittery glove in hopes of pulling his career out of the gutter. In 2010, he tugged at heartstrings with a chilling, Oscar-worthy MJ tribute that proved he was not this unhinged, heartless monster the media had painted him out to be. This sign of faux remorse didn’t have a lasting effect, thanks to a series of petulant tantrums and moronic incidents dating up to last month.

However, with the help of his MJ-inspired new single, “Fine China,” Chris hopes to usher his way back into the media’s good graces…again. His tactic seems to be quite effective, too–the single is being received well by listeners and reviewers, and bloggers are applauding Chris for “maintaining his cool” during a series of promotional interviews, as if that isn’t expected of a 23-year-old man.

Chris Brown realized that his “no more interviews” strategy was ineffective, so he sat down with a number of media outlets to update the public on his forthcoming music and current sanity level. In summation, he’s solely focusing on the positives this time around. Like Mary J., there’s no more drama in his life. Don’t hold your breath.

On the heels of his 24th birthday, Chris is prepping the release of his sixth album in eight years, X. “I came up with the concept because the letter stands for a kind of forbidden fruit,” he tells BET. “You see it with the skull-and-crossbones. It’s also the Roman numeral 10. I wanted to do it for my birthday. Five, Five (May 5). X is also the 24th letter in the alphabet, and I’m turning 24.” Read More »
