Secondly I totally agree that most his songs seem to be directed to Rihanna and to me that show he’s not over her by a long shot… and wishes he had done things differently, but I rated his album atleast 8 out of 10. Maybe this is really his way of really getting over her, because even though songs like SO COLD, FAMOUS GIRL, I’LL GO and CRAWL are in your words “VERY tacky but shady apologetic”, atleast his expressing how he feels plus remember a song writer, poet or whoever is being crafty by expressing themselves through music or poems… are saying things that most listener have wanted to say in many situations but couldn’t find the words to express themselves. So hearing songs like “SO COLD and CRAWL” I’m sure there’s alot of persons out there who can relate to them and find nothing wrong with it or would even say they’re looking at it as his apology to Rihanna, because all they’re hearing the things they wanted to say to someone they lost.

And lastly, I respect your opinions as it is your right to free speech and alot of readers to this article will agree with you aswell… and that I can respect but I think the song LUCKY ME prolly explains why he may come of as shady, even though he’s hurting inside and would like to get away from all the drama his job is to perform and be “CHRIS BROWN” for his die hard fans. I just want you or your readers to see things from a different perspective.

I’ve done some song writing and pursued a career as an artist who actually perform and had a small fan base in my youthful days, and no matter what I was going through I had to be “DANI G.” for the fans. Lose your swag – Lose your fans.
