The continuing popularity of unrepentant window-smasher Chris Brown in the face of his 2009 Rihanna beating, subsequent public meltdowns and wildly off-putting displays of kiddie-tantrum arrogance never fails to amaze me; nevertheless, the hip-pop artist is back with a new song entitled "Strip" feat. rapper Kevin "K-MAC" McCall, which is the first single off his upcoming album "Fortune".

Today an embarrassingly-generic music video for the track was released that features Brown, along with collaborator McCall, dancing and posing with his shirt off in a room brimming over with scantily-clad women (two of which share a - gasp! - lesbian kiss at one point because, you know, they're edgy), and later next to a hot tub of vixens clad in barely-there bikinis. Wow, I don't think I've ever seen that in a hip-hop video before.

"I just wanna see you strip," sings Brown in the chorus of the track, which was produced by someone or something named "Tha Bizness". It's a come-on that any young woman would be better off ignoring but which, in the vacuous universe of this music video (and, in many cases, in real life as well), would probably make their "Dolce & Gabbana" fly off quicker than you could utter the words "felony assault".

If you can stomach the sight of Brown partying down with a slew of half-naked young women and flexing his abs like he was god's gift to the world while strutting on a mountaintop, the full clip is available for your viewing pleasure below. As for me, I can already feel the chunks rising in my throat.

My grade: "F". After watching, you can rate the video for yourself at top left.

 "Fortune" is slated for release in March.

    Seriously, your report sounds so ignorant. You need to stop hating on Chris Brown and get over something he did in 2009 , it is clearly about to be 2012. Get a life and stop trying to ruin Chris Browns. You don't see Rihanna constantly talking about the incident so I don't see why whenever Chris Brown comes out with something you people have to bring it up. This was a good song and the video was well put together. Now hop off of chris brown

    I agree with the the comment. Rhianna has actually has been giving Chris Brown some good ratings herself and got along with him since the incident. It's quiet annoying to have to go on ANYTHING Chris Brown related and see Rhianna's name pop up. I never see Charlie Sheen's name pop up associated with the word abuse unless it has to do with drugs or alcohol. Come on, now, leave Chris alone. He's not thinking about you or your ignorant "ratings" or what you have to say. The F grade was immature...the person who wrote it was obviously biased. Although I am a die-hard Chris Brown fan, I'm not going to sit here and act as if it was great or anything, but he's trying. He's growing up into a fine young man who's trying to live his life. Live your own and stop worrying about him. And if anything, don't give it an F. You're immature for that. I'd give it a C to B-.

    You're biased, and ignorant for this, to be honest. You can't honestly call yourself a critique with this additional crap, what does it have to do with anything? You're just throwing in derogatory words for no reason. Here's the main reason I'll never take your critique seriously;

    You obviously don't like Chris Brown, so your critique obviously isn't going to be good. The fact you took who he is as person and associated it with his music makes you seem oh so ignorant. I'm laughing so hard at this review, I can't believe anyone who has half a brain would take it seriously. I don't like Justin Beiber, I hate his guts, but that doesn't mean I'm going to write a critique about his music, and then add comments about who is is or what he did in the past. That's not critiquing music. You should have just wrote "Chris Brown Review: Watch me rant like an idiot."

    "I just wanna see you strip," sings Brown in the chorus of the track, which was produced by someone or something named "Tha Bizness". It's a come-on that any young woman would be better off ignoring but which, in the vacuous universe of this music video (and, in many cases, in real life as well), would probably make their "Dolce & Gabbana" fly off quicker than you could utter the words "felony assault".

As for me, I can already feel the chunks rising in my throat."

    And once gain, you seem like an idiot because you're once again associating Chris Brown's music with the person that he is. I'm not even gonna bother ranting about your terrible review, because it'll serve no purpose in the long run. All I'm saying is that this "critique" deserves an F rather than the music itself. i'd give it a C to B-. Biased.

    lol it was catchy in some parts..but the song is kind of dumb, the lyrics are really dumb. Chris Brown looks goofy the whole video..this might be my least favorite video he's done. I can see it being a decent hit though

    The song and the video are both unmitigated garbage--much like the man who produced both. Fancy that.

    The only problem I have with the song is that it's old. He already released it on his mixtape. It's about the third time he re-released a song that he already put out with his mixtape. Other than that I've always loved the song. The video looks like they all were having a lot of fun after set seems like it was a blast. I love Chris Brown and K Mac and I can't wait to hear some NEW songs from Chris <3

    You seem really bitter about somethhing that happened years ago both of them are over and the only reason he broke the window was because he was tired of the media bringing it up and honestly I dont blame him...it's not like the video and the song dont go together...chill out and hop off
