Chris Brown – A Brief Bio
In case you‘re unfamiliar with our subject, here’s a brief introduction to the musician/actor known as Chris Brown. This information isn’t going to transform you into an urban music expert, but it will help you look less ridiculous the next time you’re trying to talk to someone younger than yourself. If you’re already familiar with the artist born Christopher Maurice Brown, then pat yourself on the back. You’re probably really cool.
Signed to a record deal with Jive Records at the age of 15, Chris Brown released his self-titled debut album in November of 2005, and it debuted at number two on the Billboard 200. It would go on to achieve double platinum status, with hits including “Run It!”, “Gimme That,” “Say Goodbye,” and “Yo (Excuse Me Miss)”.
Brown soon began acting, showing up on TV shows such as One on One and The O.C. In 2007, he would make his film debut in Stomp the Yard.
His second album, Exclusive, was released in 2007 and debuted at number four on the Billboard 200. Hits from the album include “Kiss Kiss,” “With You,” and “Forever.” He also started showing up on songs and albums by other artists, including Nas, Ludacris, and T-Pain. In 2008, Billboard Magazine named him the top artist of the year.
In December of 2009, the latest Chris Brown album, Graffiti, was released to disappointing sales. The album debuted at fifty-five on the Billboard 200, and several singles were cancelled.
Then he really hit the big time, but not in the way he would’ve wanted. On March 5th of 2009, Brown was charged with felony assault and making criminal threats against his former girlfriend, R&B singer Rihanna. The photo of Rihanna’s bruised face made the rounds, and Brown lost commercial endorsements and had his music pulled from numerous radio stations. In August of that same year, he was sentenced to six months of community service, one year of domestic violence counseling, and five years of probation. He also has to stay away from Rihanna due to a five-year restraining order.
Brown’s fourth studio album, F.A.M.E., is scheduled for a 2011 release. The title is said to stand for “Forgiving All My Enemies.” During the 2010 BET Awards, he announced to his fans, “I let y’all down before, but I won’t do it again…I promise.”
Here’s hoping that he keeps his promise.
Chris Brown Movies
If you’ve never experienced Chris Brown the actor, here’s your chance to do so.
Stomp the Yard (2007) – Columbus Short plays DJ Williams, an inner-city youth with mad dancing skills who goes to college, falls in love, and proves himself in a climactic stepping competition. Brown has a part at the beginning of the film as DJ’s younger brother, Duron.
This Christmas (2007) – A Christmas story that follows the fictional Whitfield family as they celebrate the holidays together for the first time in four years. Brown portrays Michael “Baby” Whitfield and provides a number of songs on the soundtrack. The MTV Movie Awards nominated Brown in the category of Breakthrough Performance for his role.
Blood Rogues (2009) – Billed as a “deconstructionist darkly comic tragedy,” Blood Rogues follows a renegade vampire hunter named Samantha as she faces her undead father (played by Chris Brown). If you’ve ever wanted to see a morbidly obese vampire hunter as a supporting character, then get your hands on a copy of this film.
Takers (2010) – Chris Brown joins Paul Walker, Hayden Christensen, Idris Elba, and Michael Ealy as a suave group of thieves who wait at least one year between their big scores. But when a former member of the group gets released from prison, he convinces them to break with their usual pattern. Meanwhile, they’re pursed by a tenacious cop (Matt Dillon).
Phenom (2012) – Brown plays a hotshot basketball player who enters the NBA out of high school. Then he learns that he’s the illegitimate son of a an NBA legend, and he must try to make a new life with his father and half-brother. Co-starring Vanessa L. Williams and Meagan Good.
Chris Brown Soundtracks
The following movie soundtracks either feature Chris Brown singing a song or writing material for someone else:
- Grand Ma Takedown (2010) – Brown wrote “Disturbia” for this short about an 80-year-old woman who decides to fight back against gangsters and, yes, ninjas.
- More Than a Game (2008) – A documentary that follows LeBron James and four teammates as they play high school basketball and James prepares for an NBA career. Chris Brown wrote “Stronger” for the film’s soundtrack, and it’s performed Mary J. Blige.
- Make It Happen (2008) – While star Mary Elizabeth Winstead portrays a small-town Indiana girl who dreams of being accepted to a prestigious dance school, Brown belts out “Shawty Get Loose.” In case you’re not particularly hip, “shawty” is slang for an especially attractive female (since women are usually shorter than men).
- This Christmas (2007) – For this yuletide flick, Brown performs “This Christmas,” “Try a Little Tenderness,” and “Merry Christmas Baby.”
- Step Up (2006) – For this tale of redemption through dance (starring Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan), Chris Brown croons the song “Say Goodbye.”
Now that you’re familiar with all the Chris Brown movies and Chris Brown soundtracks currently available, it’s time to start hitting all the local clubs and showing off your knowledge. Then again, you could just stay home and watch some movies from Netflix. You’d have access to over 100,000 movies with no late fees, and we would get a small commission for your signing up. That’s what I call a win-win situation.
