I have not heard Chris Brown. But, if I am allowed to judge a book by a cover, (and it's 2006. I can judge any way I want.), he doesn't appear to be anything unique or different than any other soul/r&b singer.

Regarding Plan B...

Quote:

Dubbed the British Eminem, his savage tales of drugs, crime and violence are likely to attract controversy.

Ok, I'm not one to promote a homophobic, misogynistic fuckup, but at least eminem spends some time crafting his rhymes, and does come up with some clever lines now and again....

I couldn't get past the halfway point on any of these streams except the automatics.

I heard the hype on Lamacq. Corinne Baily Rae SUCKED on Morning Becomes Eclectic (they were/are in London this week). I dug Poppys who were on Lamacq on Monday. I kind of dig what I've heard from Test Icicles.

He's not. I've seen the video on BET. Usher has him beat by a mile. Sway isn't anything special either. Just seems that he is the first Brit rapper to sound like American pop-rap.
