Chris Brown is still playing the victim. The singer left an impassioned plea on SayNow, an audio-based social networking site, begging his fans to continue requesting his songs to radio stations that he claims “aren’t playing my records” and “are not being that supportive.” Is Brown actually trying to get us to feel sympathy for him? Listen to the desperation behind the jump.
Back in November, radio programmers told MTV they no problem playing Brown’s tunes from Graffiti, but the single “I Can Transform Ya”’s inability to crack the Top 10 on the Hot 100 (peaking at #20) says otherwise. Chris’s paranoia might be justified, but we’re not so sure about his attempt at drawing pity from the fans he has left.
Here’s the jist of it:
“I ain’t never really did this but right now I need all of my fans help. A lot of radio stations aren’t playing my records. They are not being that supportive and I wouldn’t expect them to. It’s on the fans and what you guys do [whatever is] in y’all power to bring me back because that’s all I need, is you guys.”
“Nothing else will do that except for the fans. There’s nothing else that I can do. I’m doing everything that I need to do. I’m doing me as a person and I’m a better guy. But it’s on y’all.”
“My singing and my music is all great, but I do it for you guys and everything else but it won’t be possible if I’m not relevant on the radio and it won’t be possible for me to be an artist if I don’t have any support from people that give me an artists outlet. I can’t be an underground mixtape artist! I just want all my fans to help me.”
It’s one thing to thank your fans for making you a success… but to personally blame them for your failure on the charts? Maybe his followers and the general public would be more inclined to support him if he a) never attacked his famous girlfriend, b) released a better album, and c) didn’t put the burden of sustaining his career on his fans instead of himself.
Then again, maybe we’re being too harsh. Perhaps we should be impressed that he cares so much about reviving his career, since he’s doing anything he can to get his music out there.
Should Chris Brown be demanding his fans help him out? Or should he salvage his dignity and concentrate on recording new material? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

I think its sad that he has to do this. Society sucks didnt God forgive us. This is a young man who made a mistake. Just like with Michael jackson society will see after he has taken his own life and bighead non singing aggressive Rihanna will still be sleeping with any and every man trying to replace him. Cant we appreciate this young black man now and let him live and do what he does better than her PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! P.S i hope you guys never make a mistake
No, I don't think he need to be hered on the radio. I wouldn't help him at all.
Michel never beaT ANYONE. YES!!! He need to beg more and more. I don't want to here him and any of my friends do either so go let him beat on you and call it a mistake.
No, he should have thought of that before he layed his hands on that young girl. Why wouldn't he fight the boxer who offered him to? No he rather hit people who are weeker and have no chance, I call that a punk!!!!! If they did start back playing his music, I'll turn my radio off untill he's off.
Chris Brown is really a good guy he only did one mistake, HE”S NOT LIKE LIL WAYNE OR TI WHO”S BEEN IN JAIL FOR GUNS AND DRUGS.CHRIS IS A GOOD GUY THAT HAPPEN TO GET IN A SCUFFLE WITH LESBIAN RIHANNA!! Yes I said it!! Rihanna never got investigated! Also Its Jay Z's fault for telling Radio Stations to block Chris Brown.
I think people need to forgive, problem is its just more hip hop polluting our airwaves and spreading filth to our youth and infecting our culture. Will Smith at least was relatively clean. Hip hop is a pox on North America.
Chris Brown, shut up and go away forever. No one wants to hear from you, no one wants to buy your music, no one wants you
I think everybody is being to hard on chris.you take it your way but, i dont think hes blaming his fans for his album drop i think he just wants to go back to where he was and if you r his fan u will support him to the end.me personally, i think he deserves a chance he's very young and i know this has been enough punishment to learn his lesson.i love his music yes i do agree radio stations are not playing his music. we r nobody to judge, none of us r perfect, lets give our brother a chance,he;s very talented after all and it has nothing to do with his personal life. next time you put an article about chris brown let it be about his progress and music get the blaming overwith. !LOVE U CHRIS BREEZY FOREVER!!
YOU R SUCH A HATER!!! GO FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO DO!
SHE AINT NO ANGEL. SHE GOT WAT SHE DESERVED!!!
MICHAEL PROBABLY NEVER HIT A WOMEN BUT HE DID WORST BEING A CHILD MOLESTER!
WELL, HE DONT NEED U AS A FAN. HATER!!!
in life, whenever you get knocked down, you should get back in the ring and come out swinging. and he's good at that. coming out swinging. isn't he? chris brown.
i agree with you slj113, we should have compassion and forgive. he is a young man and has his whole life to live and would be very sad if we didn't give him a second chance. i am sure he his sorry and have learnt his lesson not to do that again. that was a very low and awful thing he did, hitting a woman.let us move on and let him earn a living.
Let who is without sin cast the first stone. you have no proof that Michael was a child molester. and the subjet is not about Michael – let him rest in peace.
I think he should use this opportunity to go to college. Step away from music for a while and get a backup plan in case the singing thing doesn't work out.
You ladies saying Rihanna got what you deserved are so wrong on so many different levels. Just because you wish you were with him doesnt mean he wouldnt BEAT your a** in a heartbeat. He probably wouldn't give yall the time or date. What a role model. The pattern of these behaviors usually worsens with each occurrence. Lets get a pool going to see when he snaps and kills someone. He'll probably drive around with the body in his trunk til the body starts to stink or TMZ finds out! F U Chris Brown!
Really, so if this happens to your mom or sister its what they deserve? You are a dumb bitch! Probably ugly and fat too!
Awwww chris brown, what’s wrong? Quit acting like a bitch! Suck it up n move on playboy! You can beat a girl up n be a man but they wont play your shit on the radio and you start crying! PA PA PLEASE play my songs!
Awwww chris brown, what’s wrong? Quit acting like a bitch! Suck it up n move on playboy! You can beat a girl up n be a man but they wont play your shit on the radio and you start crying! PA PA PLEASE play my songs!
I THINK WE SHOULD CONCENTRATE ON HIS MUSIC AND STOP GETTING INTO THE PERSONAL LIVES OF OUR HERO'S IN MUSIC AND FOR THAT MATTER ANYONE!!!…CHRIS BROWN IS ONE OF THE BEST!!!…HE HAS BEEN SOMEONE TO LOOK UP TO, SURE HE'S MADE MISTAKES BUT ISNT HE HUMAN TOO??….GIVE HIM A CHANCE WORLD HE DESERVES IT AND DONT WE ALL NEED SECOND CHANCES SOMETIME IN OUR LIVES??
Really! Fuck you and Chris Brown. Violence is not a mistake its a disease, just like your GAYNESS!
I think that my celebrity son deserves a second chance just like anyone else, if you are truly a fan of Breezy then you would understand that if he needs support then help a brother out, it's not like he murdered anyone!
your toast buddy, you had it all, and you blew it. i dont personally care about the celeb world or any of this crap, sorry if that insults you, but it intrigues me someone at the top, can just, go and blow it so bad, sorry chris brown, you cant turn back time, its over man.
