Now what does Russell Wilson think about this one right here? Let me tell you something. I had to look down. I had to go through my Rolodex of Sierra and Chris Brown songs only to find out these two artists have only made two tracks together. Turn tables and the one that's currently out on all DSPs titled How We Roll. Now, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out or to guess why these two have only had two tracks together. But what we're going to do is just focus solely on the music, because I feel like the easy route would be to enter speculative mode and put up a scenario that may not put either or in the best of light.

So all I got to say is with turntables peaking at number 10 on the Billboard top 100 chart in 2009, yes, they've been around that long, basically submitting the fact that Sierra and Chris Brown is definitely one of the best matches as far as chemistry and music video, just overall music creation. You would have thought these two would have made a collab album at this point. I think there was a reason we didn't get that collab album or even more songs with these two artists on it together. But you can say the same for the likes of Drake. You can say the same for the likes of the weekend. Just a lot of interesting collabs that make so much sense in society and definitely to the major labels probably. But unfortunately did not happen. Hmm, I wonder why.

But anyway, so let's just focus on the specific. track that's out now titled How We Roll with Chris Brown and Sierra basically having a dance battle in the music video which was surely sends you back to the early 2000s as I don't

know any two artists that have gained more popularity from their cerebral talent. The ability to go through a lot of art forms and do multiple justice, not even justice, just great at multiple different things.

Like, I always love to say that Chris Brown is the most talented artists I've ever seen in my life. Obviously, a lot of people like to compare him to Usher, but correct me if I'm wrong. I've never really heard Usher rap. Maybe I'm tripping, but for Chris Brown, I feel like he's a solid to really good rapper, not like Kendrick or Jay-Z, but when he raps, he's saying some things. And he honestly is rapping in a way that I feel like it's entertaining.

Now, for Usher, some people may say that it's because, you know, he is a singer and he stays in his lane. But because of that versatility that Chris Brown shows me with rapping and singing, also a lot of other things that a lot of people don't really associate to being a musician, but I feel like it adds some type of. extra value as he's able to make actual art you ever seen Chris Brown paint he's a phenomenal artist like literally like painting um dancing of course you know that's debatable between him and uh uh uh sure but I do feel like Chris Brown is just the most talented artists I've ever seen then you get to Sierra who's arguably one of the most talented women artists that I've ever

seen. So you would have thought that this match would have happened way more times than just two over a span of 2009 to 2023. I think that's a little interesting and I think at the end of the day, there's a reason for that, but obviously I want

to get into speculation. So years before, they did perform Take You Down at the BET Awards. And I do that, I feel like that kind of signified that whatever held them from collaborating was kind of put in the past because in the Instagram post,

Chris Brown was seen with Sierra at a photo shoot kind of hinting to the track and now we see what it was for. And then now fans, as we probably understand why these two probably haven't made music in the past, Sierra fans flooded her comment section with condemning her for working with Chris Brown because his violent past, including physically assaulting Rihanna. So that's honestly, I'm not saying I didn't want to bring it up, but I didn't want to get into speculation, and that's not speculation. Chris Brown did physically assault Rihanna back in 2009, and the last time they even made

a track together was in 2009, speaking on Chris Brown and Sierra. So that was honestly one of the reasons I felt like it took so long to get this sequel from the two of them on the same track as you know putting your hands on a woman in any scenario it's just an all-time low especially for being a man and so with sierra now collaborating with chris brown she's going to have to face that backlash from her own fan base but i believe with the amount of time of time that has passed with the amount of time served that Chris Brown did accompanied with Rihanna herself coming out saying that she forgives Chris Brown also even having his music playing in the

background while she's doing like her finty music or brand stuff I think it's a telltale sign on how time heals everything but of course it was up to Rihanna if Rihanna was still like nah, still forget him, then, hey, you know, he would have had a tough time. But with her just basically forgiving him in a way that even her fans chastise her and doing, I think it's led to collaboration like this and basically led to the public perception of Chris Brown, not being as harsh because of him serving their five years of probation and also completing 180 days of community service in his home state of Virginia and had to take a domestic violence chorus. So with all that and then all the stuff I just said before that, I feel like the

public perception is a little bit more open as far as accepting Chris Brown. And that's why I feel like we finally had a second collaboration from Chris Brown and Sierra titled How We Role. So anyways, click my link to your in my bio. Let me know in one of my social medias. What do you think about Chris Brown and Sierra basically coming back again for the second time and the first time being since 2009 so all the way in 2023 we finally got out second collab from Sierra Chris Brown have you listened to it more importantly have you seen the music video and with that said do you think which side do you think had the better verse or which side do you think had a better performance in the music video
