Singer Chris Brown took to his Twitter page to express his extreme displeasure with stores, including a Walmart in Wallingford, CT, that are not visibly stocking his new album, Graffiti.
“the[y] didnt even have my album in the back… not on shelves, saw for myself,” he wrote in a series of tweets over the weekend. “im tired of this s—. major stores r blackballing my cd. not stockin the shelves and lying to costumers. what the f— do i gotta do.”
He continued: “im not biting my tongue about sh– else… the industry can kiss my ass.
WTF… yeah i said it and i aint retracting s–”
“we talked to the managers and the didnt even know anything. wow!!! but they had alicia keys album ready for release for this tuesday comin … the manager told me that when there are new releases its mandatory to put em on the shelves.. BUT NO SIGN OF #GRAFFITI. BS.”
“no disprespect to alicia at all,” he continued. “just givin an example to whos album is loaded and ready to go next week.”


Okay, the world, or the US. is so f-cking stupid. i went to buy 6 copies of the Cd today in target & guess what???? THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE IT.

Why can't we just get over this??? he told his sorry's. he did everything. damn. :(

Who actually still buys cds anymore. I get everything off itunes or albumhunt. the quality is about the same... Besides, I thought he was leaving the industry for a while. He got back in pretty quick since you can't do a CD in a week.

That's part of the reason I still use CDs -- the music from the iTunes Store isn't as high-quality as stuff I rip myself. The "regular" iTMS stuff is in 128-kbps AAC, which isn't that great; the iTunes Plus music is much better quality, but costs more. Plus, the "regular" music files have DRM, and with a CD, I can rip in much higher quality without DRM.

Plus it's nice to have a physical CD, so you can re-rip music if you lose your MP3s.
