Graffiti (by Chris Brown, R&B)
common sense media says
R&B star reinvents himself; only crime here is his swagger.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that GRAFFITI is relatively tame from an adult-content standpoint. It omits explicit language and violence, and it only occasionally makes cursory references to sex and drinking. The CD’s worst offenses are the few songs that brag about having a lot of money and women. There are also quite a few mentions of brand-name luxury items.
Positive role models:
Brown continues to do damage control since his act of aggression toward Rihanna, avoiding controversy and trying to reestablish his good-guy image. That said, his exceptionally violent behavior remains hard to forget.
Violence:
Not applicable.
Sex:
Some sexual references here and there, including "Girl, when you step off wet from the shower / I just want ya to lay down, just stay naked."
Language:
Not applicable.
Consumerism:
A handful of products -- such as Gucci, Movado, Louis Vuitton, Ducati, and Range Rover -- crop up throughout the album.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
A couple of allusions to drinking; for example, mentions "bottles popping" as well as drinking Belvedere and Ciroc (brand-name vodkas).

This album is pretty good. It doesn't sound like previous Chris Brown albums which in my perspective is a good thing because I really get tired of his stuff. But as I said this album is different, being basically R&B/Pop with Adult Contemporary mixed in on some songs (Lucky Me) and a little electronica mixed into others (I Can Transform Ya). There is some sexual content such as "I wanna lay you down, just stay naked" and "No I can
t dance but I can dance on ya". And yes we all know that he beat up Rihanna and they say "forgive and forget" and the bible says always to forgive but some crap just ain't forgettable, you know? But also he is trying to be a better man. There are also a few uses of sh*t that are censored and a couple h*lls and one d*mn. If I were you I would definetly check the album out though, if you like that kind of music :)

Where did all the love go??????
I love Chris Brown and even though he showed an act of violence towards his ex-girlfriend Rhianna. He deserves another chance like they say forgive and forget.
