Chris started to regain portions of his career around the release of his mixtape “In My Zone.” I played “Too Freaky” a thousand times before realizing he was talking about sex on other tracks too. I was like a kid who found “Showtime After Dark.” Then came “Fan Of A Fan” co-starring Young Money rapper Tyga. And that mixtape proves that good music speaks louder than controversy.
A few things happened on the road to recovery though. There was the chair through the window at “Good Morning America;” the Raz-B Twitter debacle; and the new girlfriend Karrueche. Then there was that time he banned interviews (oh, that was this year) and likened himself to Tupac; or when he dressed up as a terrorist for Halloween. And who can forget the bottle bash that left his security guard and a club goer with holes in their head… All of those incidents equate to one thing. He wasn’t isn’t learning. However, we can’t only blame him for his immaturity. Who were the people who stood around him and watched him spiral out-of-control? My main argument for Chris, whenever I would find myself defending him, was that he is still young and still has time to grow. Despite my rose tinted views toward him, I knew that things weren’t looking good.
