Critics are not too happy with Chris Brown's fifth album, "Fortune." Furthermore, they are nonplussed about why people continue to support his work after he brutally beat his ex-girlfriend, Rihanna, three years ago.
Even after doing 56-weeks of community service for his assault against Rihanna, he has yet to reform his violent ways. Just last month, the rapper was involved in a brawl at New York City nightclub, W.i.P, with his lyrical nemesis, Drake. The fight left one person with severe brain injuries and several injured.
Cityview critic, Chad Taylor's brief review of the embattled rapper's album went viral. He simply wrote, ""Chris Brown hits women. Enough said."
But it was music journalist, Chris Havercroft's review that can prove to be truly detrimental to Brown's album. Judging by how some people have already responded to it, Brown needs to be worried about the album's success.
"Chris Brown has released his fifth studio album - a 19-track repugnant record that we can only hope will be his last," he wrote.
"Till I Die" is "a catastrophic misogynistic sh-t of a song," said Havecroft about the album's lewd contents. To sum it up, he thinks it's "skitzy" with only two themes: "Unprotected sex is cool and partying is fun."
He concluded with, "Regardless of whether Chris Brown has any musical talent (he doesn't) or whether this album is any good (it isn't), the man recently brutally assaulted a woman, and is still regularly invited back to award shows and worshipped by 'Breezy' fans worldwide. Which is, frankly, disgusting. And for those of you out there saying you need to separate the music and the man: screw you, don't encourage his actions. Final words: don't buy this album.
