@AreYouSayingPow1 Even though i love common and dre as much as the next guy, I think that'd kind of mess up the great style and simplicity they have going now, with the lyrics and all. But you know what song would sound cool with a great rapper like andre 3000? Maybe
man omg..i sayd this in another video but these guys seriously keep it real..not saying beats most people like now are garbage..but everyone knows that is catchy tunes made by rookie producers out of highschool...you think roscoe dash could make somthing as talented required as this, or khalifa,?? ahah no..
let's say you were a victim of domestic violence and everyone blamed you but praised your attacker...would it be so easy to forgive and forget...this is why stars will never be accountable for their own actions...there will always be a bunch naive fans who will justify their lack of self control and ill behavior...btw if he didn't want his public life to be judged he's in the wrong business
@dug699 umm judging by your comment I wouldn't waste my time or energy debating with you...tell me what relevance does this hold towards the comment I made....maybe this is how you talk to other juveniles but your going to have to graduate to holding an adult conversation when you address me...I was merely stating my opinion no need to get defensive...I must have struck a nerve.
person makes one mistake and you're ready to judge him when im sure you've made plenty of mistakes in your life get off your fcken pedestal on youtube
@Queenmadame Praise the abuser? Chris is being butchered he'll probbly never win a Grammy or any other award for tht matter. I do gree nd understand what your saying thou. However, Ri has benefited from this winning undeserved awards.
@Queenmadame I'm not disagreeing with what you said but people who's dream is to be a singer or actor has to give up there private life just cause it's part of the business? NOBODY should get there private life invaded. Pretty sad when your saying that people should give up there dreams just to have a private life.
I have nothing against Chris Brown, and I suppose it was meant to be a nice gesture on Pharrell's part, but it disappoints me that such a great and--at least I thought--DEEP song was really written specifically about......Chris Brown. It's just so anticlimactic. I thought this song was deeper and bigger than that--"God Bless US ALL", not "God Bless Chris Brown", you know? The whole damn incident was nearly two years ago now; who really even cares anymore?
@ApolloOXXI We know it was two years ago, but Chris is still recovering, many people hold this incident against him to this day, hell, just yesterday, i heard another joke bout it. Its really sad, people go from love to hate in a second. What Chris did was part of his personal life, it didnt change his voice or anything, his music is just as amazing as back as back in 05. This is such a sweet song, i know its dedicated to Chris, but it can be inspirational to anybody.
@ApolloOXXI im a big chris brown fan and i completely understand where you're coming from,chris has written songs that i've loved but they've been about someone i really don't like or even respect,but i think that even so,i can still enjoy those songs for the meaning I got from them and not neccessarily what/who they were written for/about. Just wanted to let you know that,and i hope you can still enjoy this song :]
@almostbog your silly :P the only other Chris we know is Chris Jefferson, you remember, he lived in the apartment on the left, next to Peters bakery, and he was married to Jennifer, and they had the two children, Timothy and David. YOU REMEMBER?? NO YOU DONT?!?!?! NEITHER DO I...
love this song :) i don't see why people still judge chris brown's music based on personal mistakes made at such a young age? art is art, and i completely support chris brown with his struggles, but if someone doesn't, don't put him down musically for it. he is probably one of the greatest R&B singers of the recent years and should be given the opportunity to grow
this song made me realize that chris brown isnt that bad at all. mistakes happen to all of us and i hope that chris will learn from his mistakes and be a better person.
and yes, my fav song from the album. nice job n.e.r.d
I read a review of this album saying that this song was begging to have a Jay-Z verse on it. Perhaps Jay was set to record on this song until he found out that it was about the dude who assaulted his protege.
@McShanful1 fuck jay's overrated ass I believe he fucked Riri, talkin shit about Chris his ass is ON TAPE PUSHING A WOMAN FOR NO REASON. He said Chris Brown was a dead man walking and I believe he has hindered Chris career too.
I can't respect the use of violence, and I was glad to see that nobody condoned what Chris Brown did. But I also say, Don't let the s__storm distract you, embitter you and keep you spiralling downward. Get up and make a change. With support like Chris obviously has here, let's hope he turns a new page in his life, and shows men you CAN be a man without being violent. There's a lot of men out there who need to hear it.
@sonlookdon so you liked the song, and the message and all of that, but when you found out the subject matter, you hated it....solely because of who it was dedicated to....thats stupid.
Love this song. The best on the cd. The production is amazing. The horns and drums are awesome. I like how he made it sound like he's preaching with the people hollering in the background.
@ActorBekiBryanCheech yep...he said chris calls him big bruh...they close..pharell talks about it on yahoo music...when he says there's brown in this world of black and white...he meant...mr.brown...
This was a beautiful, uplifting and a positive song. When Pharrell was singing, he sort of reminded me of John Legend with his vocals. Powerful. Definitely worth buying this single (iTunes or Amazon.com).
”’God Bless Us All’ is about Chris. When you hear me say, ‘Hold your head up lil’ bruh,’ I’m talking about Chris,” said Williams, who added that Brown refers to him as Big Bro. “When I say, ‘You’re a Brown in this world that’s black and white,’ I wasn’t talking about the fact that there are issues and you’re either black or white. I was saying the world is just very clear. It’s black and white.”
