Open Mind


OK, so there has been extensive criticism over this particular album cover that Chris Brown released earlier this week. Are we really THIS close minded that we can't see the art in his attire??
Does a man wearing riding pants,which have been worn around the world for decades, constitute being GAY ??


Does Hip Hop really STILL deem it necessary for us to sag the fuck out of our pants still and waddle like ducks to keep them up ( I..E. THE SOULJA BOY WALK ) in order to be " COOL" ??

Who are we to determine a grown ass mans sexuality because he chooses to NOT conform with the social clothing standard ??


I really want us to get out of this BOX that we are in. Embrace change. Acknowledge art for what it's worth, PLEASE PEOPLE.

Hell naw Chris Brown dont look gay to me I mean I wouldnt wear nothing like that but he is a entertainer thats what they do,you can go look back at artist like Prince,or even Rick James style and see that,dude had on red thigh high boots and rocking braids with a bang and earrings in both ears on one of his album covers(Rick James)talkin 'bout the streets and still to this day(R.I.P) one of the coldest to ever bless the game.Male artist fanbase is mostly marketed to feminine females anyway so yeah its whatever with me I wouldnt care if he came out wearing a tutu and tights the women love it and that all that matters at the end of the quarter.
