On going through hard times and responding to critics:
“You have to go through the struggle before you can get to the good part. I don’t try to last out at people, or be as mad or impulsive as I used to be.”
On dealing with backlash and reaching his breaking point:
“I got to the point where it’s only so much you can take from the master, you feel me? I’ve taken my fair share of lashings.”
Chris also spoke on how hip hop moguls like Jay Z get a “pass” for the things they’ve done in the past while he doesn’t, and how young black men are still considered “n***as” despite staying out of trouble.
On Trayvon Martin and racism in 2013:
“I identify with Trayvon 100 percent as far as living in 2013 and still dealing with blatant racism. This generation is so used to racism that it’s normal; we don’t care.
We aren’t on drugs or catching AIDS, but they still look at us as ni**as.”
On the public being more accepting of other celebrities’ past mistakes:
“No disrespect, because I’m a fan, but nobody brings up the fact that [Jay Z] stabbed somebody and sold drugs. He gets a pass.”
What do you think of Breezy’s inflammatory comments? Is it a righteous rebuke of the mainstream media? Or is Brown bellyaching?
