Pitchfork<\/strong> and its senior author, Alphonse Pierre<\/strong>, had Team Breezy heated on Tuesday (May 12) following a review<\/a> of the \u2018BROWN\u2019 album. Pierre gave the project a 1.3 rating, calling it \u201can actual piece of sh*t.\u201d While he hasn\u2019t addressed the viral backlash to the review, Chris Brown<\/strong> finally broke his silence! Tank<\/strong>, whose Team Breezy all the way in which, also threw a lil\u2019 shade at Pitchfork.<\/p>\n The query really ought to be\u2026what DIDN\u2019T he say?! Alphonse Pierre held nothing back, selecting to research Chris\u2019 entire history within the music industry quite than simply the album \u2018BROWN.\u2019 From the beating of Rihanna in 2009 to Chris Brown\u2019s attempts at public redemption since, it\u2019s all in there. Greater than 2,000 words trashing \u2018BROWN\u2019 lower than one week after its release on May 8. The summary line alone, which opens the Pitchfork article<\/a>, goes HAM. It reads, \u201cChris Brown\u2019s soulless, hit-chasing recent album doesn\u2019t justify his return to the general public eye.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n Within the copy, Pierre said Brown has positioned himself because the \u201cvictim of the media conspiring against him.\u201d <\/em>Concurrently, Pierre claims the singer uses\u00a0his fans\u2019 \u201cnostalgia for his youthful innocence\u201d<\/em> and his \u201ccool\u2026backflips\u201d<\/em> to persuade them of \u201chis version of history.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>The senior author emphasized that Chris has used the \u201cbattering of Rihanna\u201d<\/em> to \u201cgive his music an emotional complexity it didn\u2019t have before the incident.\u201d <\/em>That\u2019s been the case in all his music since 2009, including \u2018BROWN,\u2019 Pierre argues. Being a Chris Brown fan become rooting \u201cfor a talented Black man to triumph, whatever the truth.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cIt was to view his physical abuse of girls as a rite of passage on the journey to becoming a person,\u201d Alphonse Pierre wrote. Adding, \u201cAll the overstuffed albums and Billboard hits he\u2019s racked up since then are tainted with that context. None greater than BROWN, which isn\u2019t romantic or funny or sexy or sultry or dancey or soulful or vulnerable or honest or creative or inspired in anyway. It\u2019s soulless, hit-chasing music with nothing going for it if you happen to aren\u2019t personally invested within the Chris Brown culture wars.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n All that said while also being the primary time Pitchfork has reviewed the singer\u2019s music in not less than 6-7 years? Omitted not less than three projects to land on the concept that \u201cNot every musical legend deserves to be a martyr.\u201d Those are facts that Team Breezy is holding on to and calling out! Meanwhile, Pitchfork has been radio silent on the backlash, while continuing to advertise the article on X with captions like, \u201cThis album is an actual piece of shit,\u201d<\/strong> and \u201cSoulless, hit-chasing music with nothing going for it.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nRELATED:\u00a0Challenge Who?!
