Ne-yo and Chris Brown – R&B Beef – Ne-yo and Chris Brown - A Milli

"The more arguments you win, the less friends you'll have" I borrowed that line from a YouTube account owner called Jewelryman. Hey Ordinary Joe, add this to our album promotion techniques... start subliminal "not serious" beefs. 50 Cent did it for every album and look at his success. Now its Ne-yo's turn... yes Ne-yo.

"A millie a millie a million sales" is the only tune that R&B song bird, Ne-yo is trying to perfect with his new freestyle over Lil Wayne's hit song "A Millie" beat. According to industry insiders, Chris Brown has been trash talking about Ne-yo's singing (compared to his own). Also Chris Brown contrasted their album sales saying that he can out sell Ne-yo any day. So, to hit back, Ne-yo dissed back... allegedly. "To whom it may concern... you might sell a million more than me... but you don’t have a million more than me..." is Ne-yo's opening line to the track. Afterwards, Ne-yo raps (yes raps) using lines like "... your girlfriend's favorite song is mine", which, some say, refers to Rihanna's (Chris Brown's supposed girlfriend) hit song "Unfaithful". Some say that it (the track) may be for R. Kelly in response to R. Kelly kicking Ne-yo off of his tour... I doubt it because one of the arguments Ne-yo makes in this song is that he writes a lot of people's songs and R. Kelly does the same.

Ne-yo does have one or two lines in the freestyle that make you say "hmm I'm a lil’ impressed". Lines like "My middle name is "more bread" and my last name is "than your bread" get it? I know Ne-yo said to Mr. BANGLADESH "It's not a Chris Brown diss"; however, I believe that it is either made to boost record sales so he used CB as a tactic to get people's attention or he had some animosity towards Chris and it subconsciously slipped out on track. In my opinion both are, overall, just as great as one another: they merely shine differently. My Biased opinion puts Ne-yo ahead because my girlfriend is a Chris Brown fanatic. What do you think Joe?

Yea Ordinary Joe can you say corny? Well even if you can’t…“corny” doesn’t begin to describe what I, and probably thousands of other people think abut Ne-yo’s freestyle on Lil Wayne’s “A Milli” beat. I think this latest attempt at an “A Milli” freestyle is the crowning glory of the repercussions that occur when R&B artists try to rap…or when Lil Wayne attempts to make a Hip Hop Album for that matter.

And why is it that people who rap on a Lil Wayne beat feel that they’re compelled to sound almost exactly like Weezy does? (Maniacal laughter after every attempted joke included) After Ne-yo said “You don’t got more money than me”, he said “Let’s be Real”…so that’s what I’m trying to do.

Although I, in no way support the butchering of this track, Ne-yo did do a kind of good job of presenting his credentials to anyone who didn’t know them or forgot them. Like the fact that every song on his albums is written by him, and sometimes he writes songs that he gives it to another artist, e.g. Rihanna. However, kicking up Beef against an R&B fiend like Chris Brown can only have little to no benefits for Ne-yo.
