Chris Brown Gone Crazy ?

Chris Brown recently made the headlines when he snatched a fan’s cell phone outside of a Miami club.  Is Chris Brown spiraling out of control or is he just being a 21 year old boy?  Where is his support structure? Should he take a break or should we just leave him be so long as he’s making good music?  The Friday Hip Hop Report Debate Lounge discuss Chris Browns state of mind and possible options.

Too Many Remixes Ruin Tracks *Ni**as In Paris*

Ever get to the point when Too many remixes of one or your favourite tracks are released, well i have with Nig*as in Paris. Everyone and their Grandmother have done remixes and I am a point where if it comes on my ipod I cringe. I thought the remixes had ended but apparently not Busta wants to have a go at it too…

Kid Ink – Drinks In The Air *Official Video*

Not a Big Fan of this one, its a bit typical of every track thats came out for the past 3 years trying to make a club/rnb track, artists need to step their game up and come up with a new angle. ”Pour Your Drinks In The Air” just doesnt make sense to me….maybe im just getting too old for these type of tracks.

Timbaland Rant about New Video *Timbaland – Pass At Me ft. Pitbull*

Glad people are noticing that this is not the best track for Timbaland to be releasing a video for, many times songs like this are thrown out and people for some reason think the track is good. People need to listen to music and decide for themselves wether or not a track is too their taste instead of following what is pushed out to them by big record labels with a sufficient budget to advertise an artist to the point we have to hear thier music everyday. 

Anyway back to Timbaland,hes a legend in the music industry many consider him one of the best producers of our time, helping the careers of many who had fell off and making many rich.  The problem is I just dont think this is a good track to be putting out when people havent seen or heard much from you. Its like timbaland has tried too hard to get another hit, the lively summer dance beat, the attempt at a catchy hook, featuring Pitbull, a video in the sun with many girls in bikinni’s. Sometimes less is more and i think this is true here, I consider myself a Timbaland fan so im hoping the next video out will be an improvement. I want Timbaland to shock me i suppose, he didnt have the  ‘shock value’ pardon the pun, i want a surprise when i hear his music not to be looking at how long is left until the song finishes.
