Has CHRIS BROWN Reached His Full Potential? Here's What Stunted His Growth! 

One of the most talented ever! Salute to Breezy. Do you think it was unfair he took the brunt of the Rhianna situation, when she played just as big a role?

We need one on Omarion. Everyone and they mama thought Omarion was going to be bigger then he got.

Man that whole Rihanna situation definitely put a slight hold on his career. His off stage drug & personal problems started taking a toll. In my opinion, he is most definitely a GOAT. One of the most talented artists of our time. Great vid.

I wouldn't say his growth has been stunted, but i will say he's boxed himself into the fast food vulgar hip hop and r&b lane since the fame album.

Chris Brown would’ve been the biggest star on the planet if it wasn’t for the Rihanna incident. He’s still a huge star and he’s remained relevant for so long but that really put a stain on his career.

Chris Brown is the Anakin Skywalker of Pop/R&B. They won't give him his flowers until he's gone sadly. It's amazing he's still just as big with not alot industry support.

I feel like with Chris Being So IMMENSELY Talented, They Couldn’t cancel Him after a certain Time💯 His Talent would over shadow the Backlash but it did stunt him

The Rihanna situation left a stain on his career

In my opinion, Chris Brown growth was stunted because of his past events. He could've been an international icon.

People need to realize that the video isn’t saying Chris hasnt been successful or he’s not a legend. But before the DV altercation, Chris was on his way to becoming a major, global pop act. He was practically at the cusp of it. The backlash from the altercation definitely altered his career trajectory. I agree with the video, if the Rihanna altercation never happened and if he never embraced the “bad boy” persona, he could’ve been much larger and successful than he is today.

Can you do Bobby Valentino? His first album was a classic

No way man. His growth is far from stunted. Chris Brown is a fucking legend. He has saved other artists. Everybody goes to him for a feature. He is the GOAT

His style definitely evolved after that whole situation though,it helped keep his career alive, Idk if he’d had the same impact musically had that not happened

Damn you ain’t playing with em. But nah he hasn’t hit his peak. But the industry has put a cap on how far he can go. Talent wise, there ain’t no one in the industry fucking with CB.

Breezy is the GOAT at this musics stuff .. Corporate America won’t gravitate towards him anymore (No Super Bowl, No Nike collab shoe, .ect) He’s resilient because his music is REAL. We love CB

I think his growth was severely stunted. It’s like he’s been living off the legend status he built in his 05-11 run. Of course he has a hit every year or other year. But he has to severely bloat his albums to get numbers he’d get in his sleep in his prime. He’s still crazy talented tho

His fixation on gang life is his downfall to me

The version of Chris after the Rihanna incident was on his way back to being as big as MJ. It was a man trying to rebuild his legacy. You could tell by how he carried himself during interviews. The gang affiliation n drugs fxcked it all up tho

When he says Chris is stunted, he means in the regard of comparing him to the likes of MJ… Chris has achieved a great level of iconic status, but career wise he was expected of going a lot higher….He is in the Mt.Rushmore of this generation of entertainers! Nd has and still touches the hearts of many, I hope he kicks that coke habit… because u can see in his face he’s on that shit hard. Pray for our young black brother! 🙏🏿

Chris Brown growth isnt stunted *AT ALL!* The problem is that people demonize him for the situation between him and Rihanna and Rihanna has forgiven him but not people who dislike him. Smh

He’s still got a bit of youth left in him cuz he’s in his early 30’s so he can still correct his course and go back to a better path he was originally on, but in the end it’s all up to him and what he wants for his life and legacy!!! Still amazing how he can still have all the success he’s had in spite of all the attempts to cancel him!!! I hope he straightens out cuz he’s still relatively young and he’s a father nowadays!!!

Any REAL Chris Brown fan know Chris has never missed a step in his music

It's good to hear a honest fan's prospective, & not just sum mindless stan who see's no wrong in the artist.

Chris brown to me is untouchable nowadays this guy can do everything, this guy is a different level as a artist people tryna put the weekend, Bruno Mars even frank ocean but c’’mon as a artist Chris brown is untouchable.

That WHOLE first CD was CRAZY! I was in my mid 20s rockin that shit on the low 😂😂

It is crazy that even with the issues he still is able to be as big as he is... credit goes to his talent... but yes he has been slightly stunted and for as big as he is he could have been 3x bigger

I’ll never forget that MJ tribute

I think Chris’s last two albums should have been shorter. There was a lot of good songs on both but he could have made it smaller so it can be easier for people to consume. But yes I think he reached his peak, his music hasn’t gotten better or worse it kind of stayed the same.

I’M SO GLAD YOU TOOK MY ADVICE TO DO THIS EPISODE! I was waiting for this!

You absolutely can talk about Chris Brown without mentioning MJ. He was never on a path to be anywhere near what MJ was. Dancer and child star is where the parallels ends. The impact MJ left on the world will never be duplicated and certainly not surpassed, even with the added cheat codes of streaming and social media. At his best Chris Brown could have been what Bruno Mars and The Weeknd became with the added bonus of dancing skills.

I'd like to have his stunned growth

Chris Brown been consistent in the game since 2005.. That’s 16 years.. MOST artist have 2-3 great to good albums and everything else after is either mediocre or non existent.. That’s NOT the case for Breezy! Although he haven’t had a album like Michael Jackson, Bobby Brown or Usher, his longevity makes up for it and along with his features alone makes him an ICONIC LEGEND that would put him as top 10 greatest R&B artist ever.. he adapts with any era which is damn near impossible to do and he’s still killin it til this day.

I remember when tha graffiti album came out, I said it was a wrap for him. But then tha Fan of a fan mixtape came out and “Deuces” blew up. Years later “Look at me now” put him back in pop world but some people will never forgive him for “big no no”

He’s topped the Billboard singles chart twice. The Billboard album chart at least 3 times I believe. Won a Grammy. Most-awarded person at the BET Awards. VMA’s, AMA’s (including one for Artist of the Year), Billboard Awards, etc. He’s the highest-selling male R&B artist of *all time*. Only male singer to have 100+ songs chart. Holds the #1 & #2 spots for longest-running #1s on rhythmic radio. Completed the ultimate comeback from a situation that would’ve killed almost anyone else’s career. Widely considered one of the best performers of his generation. Widely considered a/the king of R&B. Has maintained an insanely loyal fanbase. Had a #1 record while in prison. Has been one of the most hated figures on the planet for 12 years now and still accomplished everything I previously mentioned and more. What exactly makes so many say he didn’t “reach his potential”?

He did everything every artist dreams about how did he stunt his growth if he already reached the top and stayed there

I think the blood affiliation and then tats...corporations wouldn't stand behind that. Like Lil Wayne could be out of the stratosphere but you can't market tats and gang talk even if it's not real.

His bank account has definitely reached its potential, his mainstream smash hits have reached his potential. I hope he gets to his roots and really trys a soulful RnB, no sell out B.S pop radio shit, hes done it before, so fuckin talented no doubt!

Thought you were doing a Stunted on the basketball side of Breezy 😄🏀

You’re absolutely right his growth was definitely stunted. Those advertisements never came back and he lost a huge bag but thank God he’s as talented as he is because he still one of the best in the game right now the only person he could face in the Verzuz (no not Usher either) would be his younger self and that says a lot.

Since we’re doing R&B you should do Lloyd !!!!

Chris is the example of wasted talent. Came out the gate swinging and just settled for making club radio hits instead of timeless art. This is why when people call him a modern day MJ…I be so lost😂

Crazy thing is that album F.A.M.E won a Grammy in 2011 they couldn’t deny how great that record was but unfortunately that was a troubling time for CB and he got involved in more controversy like as his image started to change … all in all he’s a legend and still regarded as one of the best artists of our time.

Most talented man in entertainment. But his image took a huge hit when he hit Rihanna, he more the skreet rnb nigga now but his commercial success is not what it could have been and I think his personal demons got the best of him.

Chris brown could have been the most powerful meaningful artist since micheal jackson. He is a shadow of his former self he thanos snapped half his fans away.

I think he has peaked he has done everything there is to do I kinda want him to retire before the crowd switches on him and say they are tired of him or he's "repetitive" he came he saw he did what needed to be done he is one of the biggest of our time🤷🏽‍♀️

Chris Is Black Balled In The Industry That’s The Only Reason His Growth Was “Stunted” He’s Too Big As An Artist To Act The Way He Acts, The Industry Is Scared Of His Honesty

If you're a hit artist; you're always a hit away from resurgence. Happened to Omarion with "Post to be," after being all but written off. So I wouldn't totally count him out. But I do think he may have peaked

Well if you gonna do a Stunted Growth on Chris Brown....might as well stay in VA and do one on Trey Songz also 🤷🏾‍♂️

I was in love with Chris brown as a pre-teen I had all his posters and cds lol but his image Def when downhill after the domestic violence incident 🤯

Even with all of that he’s still one of the biggest in the world and one of the best ever to me it’s all about his image.

How has Chris growth stunted? He’s one of the best r&b acts of this generation. This should go to someone that hasn’t had a fraction of success he has

Definitely not stunted growth he’s a beast

Chris Brown is the GOAT, the KING OF R&B. He deserves so much more.

Man. This video is damn good You was real about everything. And about HOAFM being his best album? Truest statement ever

I know the man can't keep one hairstyle for longer then a month 😅

Well, I agree on most of your content. But I think this young man is still evolving which explains his relevance to date. He will be around for a long time.

Chris brown is an icon whoever disagree is a liar

I would love to see him play at the Superbowl one day. He would have the stage lit with all of his songs. I saw him last year and he put on a good show. It's a shame that he's still black balled in the industry. He's made his mistakes but the industry wouldn't let him learn from them. He's a phenomenal performer, the second coming to MJ.

If those pictures of Rihanna never leaked I think Chris would’ve been alright. Once those pictures leaked and amerikkka seen what he did his career was never the same.

he did well. His voice aint up there with the jaheims, d'angelo, ushers, etc. etc I could name 20 better male r&b singers that came out around the same time he did but he has the star appeal. and is one of the few singers who can really dance

When I first seen the subject of today's video I thought you were reaching, but after listening to the video I realized that you had all valid points, my bad for doubting you JC lol 💯

If that Rihanna situation didn’t happen he would’ve been Michael Jackson level imo

Idc what anyone says, his first two albums are fire and I still bump them

He's this generation Michael Jackson he just hasn't made his thriller yet

Chris brown is a legend he Michael Jackson of this generation before I even watch this vid I just wanted to say that

Chris Brown is the 🐐 of the 2010’s in my opinion

After the whole Rihanna incident and the way he bounced back thats when i became a Fan 4L kuz he IS the mj of our generation mj still my fav entertainer of all time and still a legend after a fall from grace so CB is still and will be a Legend when its all said and done.no other black r and b singer has had the impact CB has had.i mean drake but he a rapper.we talm bout singers.CB fa president 💚🖖🏾🕺🏾🕴

Chris Breezy is the GOAT jr. 💯 Other than MJ I don't even wanna hear no argument. We don't know what circumstances really happened in those personal events but as an artist he is the truth point blank period.!!!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Not to put Chris Brown in a box, but he pretty much could have been the black version of Justin Timberlake. He could have had ya mommas, ya grandmas, ya uncles, everybody nodding to his sound. He was built for crossover success and the Rihanna incident forever derailed it. When Run It came out, every guy was trying to dance like Chris Brown. Every guy in the club is trying to show off their moves. I was 21 in 2005 and this song bopped! He had all the talent to not just be an urban success, but crossover into suburb and international success. I haven’t followed Chris Brown much as I’ve gotten older, but his 2005-2011 run was Justin Timberlake level success for a black man. He couldn’t be stopped and he was everywhere!

Chris brown is a all time great

Chris Brown still making hits and doing his thing. He got a smash with Thugha called Go Crazy and every year he got a smash. I dont see that changing.

Chris Brown vs Frank ocean Chris Brown vs Drake Chris Brown vs Soulja boy

Beyoncé, Kanye West, and Drake had the greatest peaks in their genres last decade. Chris Brown was supposed to do the same thing for R&B at arguably the greatest level. He was really supposed to be the second coming of Micheal Jackson so disappointing smh.

Man Chris brown should be where Bruno Mars and weeknd at. The domestic violence incident really ruined him. The gang Affiliation thing also. Another thing I feel all his songs sound the same they’re good but it’s no growth.

Best video so far! Chris is my guy but he was supposed to be bigger than everybody

I feel like after 2014 he started changing himself and sound. It’s still cool not like FAME which is greatest albums in my opinion

It's crazy, cause this young brother is dope.

only thing I can do is pray for my boo..boo(CMB) yes he needs help..I don’t care how many fans love him, encouraged him to get some help for himself,that’s all the love he needs ♥️

His growth wasn’t stunted...he is a walking legend but his mishaps have him overlooked

Chris brown growth hasn't been stunted he's making afrobeat records

Va! Breezy a legend from va ya heard! He is from 45 minutes east of Richmond. And about hr from Newport news. I know a few of his family members they are great people.

I personally don't think his growth was stunted at all...I don't agree with this one, but I still like the video...maybe his personal life was Stunted.

Chris brown is a all time great and still has a lot of good Music left

I love this channel. You should be a journalist

This channel is fire. That’s all.

It's definitely the Rihanna Situation if not for that He would he as Big as Drake but even tho he still put out Hits there's still a large portion of people that would support him but when with that he still can't be stopped

Chris has all the talent MJ had, but the Era Mike came from worked for him, and the public rocked with it. NOW The singing/dancing niche is no longer needed. It just makes you look corny.

idk about anyone else but I feel like in my opinion, I've already seen all there is to see and heard all there is to hear from chris brown. I've lost a lot of interest in him and I'm tired of hearing about how he has sex with all these women. I literally feel like I know every aspect of his sex life from his music and it's just getting to be the same old song and dance to me but I will never take away from the fact that he is a very multitalented guy. I think I backed off when I really started to see how childish, arrogant and abusive of a person he was said to be plus the colorist remarks towards a group of ppl that has always supported him as an artist. I still liked his heartbreak on a full moon album and a couple of his new songs he's dropped but it's just getting boring to me now.

Indigo was a masterpiece

Love the Chanels champ, I listened to the one on Escalade last night on my way bacc to Shreveport from Texas. Ima watch it over after this one. Do Bobby Brown and I want my shout out. Peace and Blessings.

We need a old school 1 wit the Dogg Pound that could have been 1 of the greatest rap duo of all time. But the Death Row politics & other things that stunted their growth. Even 1 on Kurupt that should have been as big as Snoop

Don't think it's all because of that one incident, think that incident is what TRIGGERED a lot of things , someone is suppressing over the years, just my opnion

The nigga is 33 years old with 100+hits. The nigga can sing and sell records easily the next 17-27 years. He'll end his career by reviving the 90s R&B feel.

Him trying to be gangsta and vulgar stunted his growth. He's still got singles but his albums always lacked substance. Had he took a page out of Bruno Mars' book and actually diversified his sound he could still have the crossover appeal he wants.

Say what you will. Chris is a Triple Threat Period. All that he has gone through and despite the obvious... He's still here Standing. He's an ICON and that folks is how the game is played in Hollywood

So much talent

I think black ppl throw the word legend to any and everybody... to be honest... a star yes.. legendary.. well..

Once again great video. Can you make a video about *NSYNC or Justin Timberlake next?

Chris Brown never had a Quincy Jones. MJ’s 3 most celebrated albums all had Quincy’s sound imprint and direction. After Bad, MJ’s catalogue isn’t as celebrated.

He fuck with too many rappers ……
