Chris Brown dissed in Rap Tune

Chris Brown Dissed In Rap Song

Posted Mon Apr 6, 2009 4:10pm PDT by Billy Johnson, Jr. in Hip-Hop Media Training

Chris Brown plead not guilty Monday to felony charges that he attacked and threatened his pop star girlfriend, AP reports. Brown has only made one public statement since the February 8 incident that left Rihanna battered and bruised. Then, Brown only said he was "saddened" by what had transpired and was seeking the counseling of his pastor and mother.
If Brown is convicted of the felony charges he could face the likes of probation or up to five years in jail.

An up and coming rap group has a different opinion about Brown's innocence.
The Jump Smokers has recorded an electronic hip-hop record "My Flow So Tight" that suggests that Brown himself deserves to be beaten. The song's chorus is simple and matter of fact: "My flow so tight and the beat so sick Chris Brown should get his a- kicked."

Last week 15 rhythmic, CHR and rap radio stations in cities such as Los Angeles, Sacramento, New York and Houston have played the diss record.
The lyrics stay on topic, arguing that a boy who hits a girl should be "taken down" and that Brown should "come clean and tell the truth."
Jump Smokers member C.W. Griz said the group recorded the song because celebrities were not speaking out about the alleged incident. "I was really upset with the way a lot of celebrities and people were handling the situation," C.W. Griz told the New York Daily News. "Not enough people were speaking out against Chris Brown. What he did was a thousand percent wrong."
C.W. Griz added that recording the song was not an opportunistic gesture on behalf of the group. "We're not trying to take advantage of a horrible situation," he said. "We want to take a positive stance."
Last month, Wu-Tang member Ghostface Killah also released a song about the incident. His track "Song For Rihanna" sends encouraging words to women who have been beaten by their boyfriends.
Ghostface tells the story of a girl so blinded by love that she misses and ignores the cues of a relationship gone awry. He dismisses the actions of a male abuser as qualities of "young boy" behavior.

Various blogs and tabloids have reported that Brown has been depressed since the mishap. I interviewed him early in his career, even writing his first cover story for Vibe magazine. I was glad that he was bringing much needed positive light to R&B music. I absolutely feel compassion for him during this time.
However, I believe that we all are responsible for our actions and have to be prepared to deal with any consequences that they might provoke. So if he is guilty of physically assaulting Rihanna, he has to bear the repercussions. And frankly public scrutiny is nothing compared to the ridicule Rihanna has received not to mention the emotional scars that will haunt her for years to come.

Hopefully, all involved parties and those on the outside looking in will learn a valuable lesson from this tragedy.

"I wanna beat Chris Brown" or something, lol.

Anti-Chris Brown song causes havoc for two previously unknown groups


at 15:05 on April 8, 2009, EDT.
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK - The unexpected success of a song criticizing Chris Brown has caused havoc for two previously unknown bands.

A group of DJs from Chicago found unexpected airplay last week when radio stations began playing "My Flow Is So Tight." The main lyric suggests that Brown, who's been charged with felony assault and making criminal threats against R&B singer Rihanna, should be beaten for his alleged crime.

Brown pleaded not guilty Monday.

The DJs behind the anti-Brown song called themselves Smoke Jumpers, but that name had already been taken by an Austin, Texas, hip-hop group. The group says they quickly changed their name to Jump Smokers.

The original Smoke Jumpers aren't amused. The group's Ashley Harkrider says their name has been hurt "in the minds of music listeners everywhere."
