R?&B artist Chris Brown recnetly released a rap mix tape nameds , "Boy in Detention". He decided to take a break from the usually pop/r&b sounds that he produces and changed to a all rap mix tape. Yes, Chris brown thinks he can rap. While i don't totally hate it, some of the songs can get annoying. The CD contains 21 "enlightening" songs, about his money, drugs and alcohol, women, cars, u know the usual materialistic stuff. What does it all mean anyway? The beats are pretty cool though but someone has to be totally ghost writing for him. His voice is not even one that is made for rapping, that is why i don't like it as much. take a listen and tell me what u think...

I think Chris Brown is a very versatile artist. I was planning on downloading the mix tape over the weekend, but due to writing a paper, I didn't get around to it. I think his rapping is ok, not the best, but I do think it's good for artist to try to step out of the box and try other things. I will be sure to download the mixtape soon and see what it's all about.
ReplyDeleteI think it is still "pop" sounding despite him trying to rap. It's interesting to think someone is ghost writing cause I would never have thought that. He sounds like he's a little boy trying to imitate Jay-Z.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure about him rapping. I think I have to listen to the album first before I can speak. I'm more used to his older "lubby dubby" songs.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I just can't get into anything new (or old for that matter) that Chris Brown does. I was way turned off by the whole Rihanna incident. Its sad because I used to really like him/think he was super cute, but I no longer feel he deserves my support.
