Who's The Champion, Chippy Or Breezy?

When I heard about this collab between Chipmunk and Chris Brown, my first initial reaction was 'this could either be good or very bad'.

After Chipmunk supposedly walked out of his label, his music turned from bubble gum pop to fresh UK hip hop sounds. 'We Flying High' was the beginning of Chipmunk as an adult and ready to show his 'haters' what he can do (now that his got more money of course) and he did. The video for 'We Flying High' was/is an epic video.

Can a singer out-rap a rapper? In this case, the answer is 'YES'. The follow up track 'Champion', featuring the talented R&B star Chris Brown, tells people that no matter what hard times the pair may have gone through, they will remain 'Champions'. In this case, Chris Brown's verse had more depth and meaning than Chipmunk's verse. That shouldn't be the case. The track is featuring Chris Brown, so why does it sound like Chippy is the guest?

Us, the British audience, hype up any artist who does anything with a US artist. Why? It really isn't that hard to get a US artist on your track. Money speaks volumes in this industry. Skepta and Diddy worked together. That was hyped and the track 'Hello, Good Morning' grime remix wasn't even anything to get excited over. 'Champion' is another track that is very hyped. Yes Chipmunk has Chris Brown on it. And yes he actually got him to be in the video. So?

I don't look at artists as UK or US. If your music is good, then its good. I was 'gassed' over 'We Flying High' and Champion did let me down slightly. But I still have high hopes for Chipmunk though.
