I could see him stop touring at 40. And drop unreleased songs for a minute.

Chris Brown's career is almost 20 years in...how much longer can he stay relevant?
- Thread starter jadillac
- Start date
That said, that incident actually helped his career long-term....in MY opinion.
He was going down a goody goody image path and would have probably been viewed as corny at some point if continued.
He definitely wouldn't have been able to become the tatted up, profanity laden rapping/singing bad boy he became bc labels would've prevented that and ppl wouldn't have bought it.

He leaned into wearing the "black hat" after the situation with Rihanna. The hood still seems to love him but as far as the big Usher like trajectory he was on, that ended that night. Then deciding to become a blood and all the gang shyt is a bit confusing to a lot of ppl. Then he still sounds like a lil kid, but he's in his mid 30s and making the same song over and over, which is the problem with R&B in my opinion. Limited subject matter and today's r&b is wayyy too vulgar to pop like it once did.

Women love dancers and thugs so last long as he keeps dancing, keeps his looks (no diddy) and act like a little gangbanger, he'll stay relevant for at least the next 5 years.
thatsa good warning for anybody who might think domestic violence is inconsequential that it can follow you for the rest of your life. I bet there are lots of dudes who self-regulated by thinking to themselves "I don't want the chris brown treatment" .. theres a dude who brock turner who whenever his name gets mentioned online there are multiple posts online reminding people he raped an unconscious woman behind a dumpster.
Nikkas say the samething about Lebron
LeBron has been the best at his field for 20 years
Chris Brown has been musically irrelevant for 10 years..
he's a legacy act
because tiktok dancing isn't about being able to dance. It's just baby choreo for attention.
Chris got praise for being able to dance, but his whole thing was being able to dance in a way other people can't. It's basically the antithesis of the stuff that works on the apps these days.
Same reason great singers don't get as much burn anymore - folk these days want to be able to sing along and not feel outshined. Dance along and not feel embarrassed.
I've never understood the comparison of Usher and Chris Brown. Their music isn't the same and their dancing isn't either, in my opinion. I do think Chris Brown has longevity because he's already showed he can keep up with the times in terms of music. Other artists may outshine him, but his name is pretty big already and he's easily recognizable. I don't think Usher fell off either. He's uncle status now though lol and I like that he's gotten his shine in the Kpop world even though I hate Kpop.

I don’t see how. His current tour is highly successful with hundreds of people paying $1000+ for meet and greet
Allegations??

He's been known to be unstable, violent and short-tempered which makes him less marketable BUT women love that toxic shyt so they will support him. He's just less likely to get other endorsements.
Rihanna isn't the only woman he's beaten like a government mule...she's just the most high-profile victim
