Walmart Doesn't Stock Chris Brown Album; Singer Throws Tantrum on Twitter
Chris Brown, who's issues with anger led him to beat former girlfriend Rihanna, may need to head back to anger management classes once again. After visiting a Walmart store in Wallingford, Conn., the singer had a meltdown on Saturday after discovering they didn't carry his new CD, "Graffiti."
So, of course, he took to the micro-blogging site Twitter.com to tell the world:
"im tired of this s--t. major stores r blackballing my cd. not stockin the shelves and lying to costumers. what the f--- do i gotta do...WTF... yeah i said it and i aint retracting s***. im not biting my tongue about s else... the industry can kiss my a--."
Brown went to Walmart after several fans told him that the stores were refusing to carry his CD. He also Tweeted:
"They didn't even have my album in the back," Brown spit of the Walmart. "not on shelves, saw for myself. the manager told me that when there are new releases its mandatory to put em on the shelves.. BUT NO SIGN OF GRAFFITI."
The NY Daily News reports that Walmart isn't the only store refusing to stock Brown's CD. Popular music stores like Bleeker Music Store, Colony, and Other Music Inc. confirmed that they are not selling his album. Big chains like Best Buy and Kmart are selling his CD, but it doesn't look like it's helping sales much. The album has reportedly sold less than 100,000 in its first week. His second album sold over 295,000 in the same time period.

He beat his girlfriend, an international icon. Honestly, what does he expect? As a wise girl once said, "you can winky tinkle on my face. just dont tell me it's raining"
Christ brown is really bad-tempered person. Just because Wal-Mart didn't put his album on the shelf, he lost his head.

If I were Chris Brown, I would be just relax. I think that the sale of the album won't be affected.
The woman beater should be glad ANYONE bought the CD. This little rant of his certainly isn't helping his cause. Retire, Chris. Just retire.
you act like this is first time a celeb beat a women...please...chris is sorry...and its no one elses problem....and walmart is stupid for not putting his album up...and r.kelly fuckin pissed on a little girl and his album is still on shevles....that is bullshxt.
Just shutup he apologized get the fuck over it every one makes mistakes and he made one so i'm pretty sure you aren't perfect and you probally messed up yourself so leave Chris Brown alone and Walmart you are stupid for not stocking his music
I CAN TRANSFORM YA'
lol
The woman beater should be glad ANYONE bought the CD. This little rant of his certainly isn't helping his cause. Retire, Chris. Just retire.
what goes around comes around, as for walmart they have the worst customer service,of all time most of there stores are unclean, there employers are under paid, if you research it there prices dont beat out most competors, the employers have attitudes....not friendly at all!!
1st of all he is not a woman beater!! get your facts straight!!!!!!!!! rihanna have some anger issues also! you just dont hear the media report that, cause she is a woman, dont be so judgemental, you allso have women out there that beat on men to. who r u to judge! in the end no one can judge chris but G O D.
everyone deserves a second chance.. chris is young he has a great future ahead of him. chris KEEP YOUR HEAD UP BOO!
While I do agree w/your outlook of "only god can judge me". You are also judging Rhianna. IMO you were raised in a place where if you did stand up for yourself, to a man, or even start confrontations verbal or physical that it's okay for a man to beat you the way he left that young woman.
Nothing is sacred anymore. And while that is true, any man who beats a woman to such a degree that they have contusions such as she did.....DESERVE that karma.
This has been a lesson for the both of them, but more importantly, this has been a great platform for woman to stand up and say, I won't take a beating and be still.
Had he kept his fists to himself, His album WOULD be stocked on the shelves.
END of.
Did you not see him say he hit her! What if that was your mother or sister. Only in america will a woman beater have people saying keep your head up boo! I don't care what angry issues rihanna have no man has a right to hit a woman. Chris Brown is a woman beating punk who deserve everything he is getting. He is less than dirt and no better than garbage. I am happy he doesn't have children,I guess it is alright to beat kids to? If chris brown gets a pat on his back everyone will believe because you are rich you can do whatever you want. Chris need help real bad and no one makes it better when they idolize him.
YOU SOUND SO STUPID. .... WHO KNOCK THE COMMON SENSE OUT U?
well believe it or not this story is true. I know of a Walmart && Best Buy that don't have his CD's. && one store where his cd was by the damn refrigerators!! It's really ridiculous i'd say. I mean the man isn't a masked murderer! I've never heard ...ever heard of a store not selling a CD! I feel like it should definetly be the customer's choice to buy it or not. && I don't blame him at all for lashing out. I think he has did everything he could possibly do...what else do u want him to do?? I just dont get it!
and if a customer wants to buy his cd, i'm sure they are capable of finding a store that has it. or ordering online. but if a store doesn't want to waste shelf space on a low-life like chris brown, they're not obligated to do so.
I suppose nobodys gonna watch GOLF anymore now that Tiger Woods has admitted he cheated on his WIFE! People make mistakes and celebrities in the eye of the media are under a microscope. Their mistakes, made in private, are so blown up out of proportion. Chris Brown is paying for his actions and will have to live with his decision to harm Rihanna, for the rest of his life. BUT FIRST AND FOREMOST, he is a very talented artist and should be respected for his talents and not judged so harshly for his past actions. I think WalMart should stock his dam album. They're only hurting customers wanting to purchase the album . GOOD LUCK CHRIS WTH YOUR ALBUM SALES. I think you are musically brilliant. Keep up the good work!
People Really...this is not even about Chris Brown anymore, I work for a human services agency and volunteer at a nonprofit to aid children of probably a lower class than any of you. When these pre-teens and teens request this MUSIC for the only gift they may receive and our response to them is what...Oh do you have an IPOD or Itunes because thats the only way you can get it. People REALLY, this is not even about Mr. Brown, this is about shutting out a class of individuals who may only be able to access some of their favorite things the old fashioned way. By going to the store and purchasing it, so what is this lets belittle the people who dont have access to what some people think the majority have access to. Its MUSIC, when has the media controlled us to the point that we can dictate to others what their choices should be. AND THIS IS AMERICA, you people should be ashamed. You really should. MTV can run a reality show about NJ teens punching each other in the face, but you cant find MUSIC in a store, because someone said so. PATHETIC
I'm so tired of hearing Chris Brown fans making excuses..."Oh he's young, he doesn't know any better..." Common sense should have told him you NEVER and I mean NEVER put your hands on a woman for any reason. A real man would've pulled the car over..got out and taken a breather for a few minutes. You never strike a woman I don't care how upset he was...and now he's worried about record sales?...fuck that.
HIS ALBUM IS AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!! ITS ABOUT THE MUSIC PPL! THE INDUSTRY HAS ALWAYS BEEN STUPID.
He hit her....ok...so what! He hit her and its in the past. She can't stand to see him stand on his feet again. That's why after his apology song she went on every talk show in America and told her side of what happened and made him look worse! For the person that's talking about contusions I'm pretty sure you didn't see her medical report so you had to of heard it from the media! If I told you that george lopez was white with a deep tan and good impression of a mexican you wouldn't believe me but if the media slapped a fancy name on it you would hop all over it like white on rice. Sometimes s*** happens get over it. In my opinion Robin is happy to have less competition in the music industy. I refuse to reffur to her as her stage name like her vocals its fake.
Walmart is flat out wrong for not stockin chris brown cds, how many rockers have been covicted of assalt on women,people,bar patrons,fans??? And I still see there music in walmart.... ITS A BLACK MAN and that has people even more pissed but didn't she hit him while he drove the car for text messages?? I don't know any guy I can hit in the face driving a car and not expect to get hit back.. As for chris he has to know that the nice guy role is not gonna work smiling will not get you off go music will boy you better get some young bobby brown in you..lol And shame on you walmart
walmart can kiss my ass for all i care because this isnt the first time some one has been beat...r.kelly pissed on a girl...his album is out.....micheal jackson touched kids....his album is still out...america needs to grow the hell up.
Very Cool!
fuck all you chris brown haters. For not likeing him at all, you all know so much about him. His cd is amazing I agree. Jussst buy, it you know you want to. (:
and rihanna got beat for a reason.
Stfu!! So what!! He made a mistake!! Like you have Never done something u regret!!! I feel that a personal matter should not literally physically affect his business! F all you haters!! Fnh!
I suppose nobodys gonna watch GOLF anymore now that Tiger Woods has admitted he cheated on his WIFE! People make mistakes and celebrities in the eye of the media are under a microscope. Their mistakes, made in private, are so blown up out of proportion.

we love his songs.. yes, but it doesnt necessariliy mean that he should have the let fame get to his head. His temper should be controlled and discipline should be practiced. Proper communication can most of the time resolve such issues instead of physical abuse.
Chris Brown really needs anger management therapy. Ask him to try marriage to a woman who is always nagging 24/7 ... It’s a store that chooses not to sell his CD's for some reason. But then again, this dude needs to control his anger. But then there are other stores who aren’t selling his new Album, may be for some reasons, commercial or otherwise. So why doesn’t he hit it out on those stores as well, why only Walmart ?

Hey Buddy, your anger is legitimate I could say, but you got to look into why they don’t want to sell instead of ranting on websites. And you really got to stop beating women if you don’t want to get into trouble for Misdemeanor... Go see a therapist buddy ... Show all your anger in your music - bring out the productive in you, Trust me
