Chris Brown
R&B singer, Chris Brown has been slammed by singer
Best Coast, real name, Beth Consentino, for his song
"F*** You Back To Sleep." The cleaner version of the
song is entitled "Back To Sleep." Coast states it
promotes rape culture, "'Just let me rock, f*** you back
to sleep girl, don't say a word no, girl don't you talk'
are the lyrics to the chorus of a very popular song. You
already know how I feel about Chris Brown - but why/how
are those lyrics ok? Cool, a song that perpetuates rape
culture being a hit."
Best Coast
In my opinion the lyrics to "Back To Sleep" do not indicate or
perpetuate rape. While I am not a fan of the profane,
explicit lyrics in the song, it's a double standard to
state it promotes rape, when women like the late, Nicole
Brown Simpson, the ex-wife of incarcerated football
player, O.J. Simpson, used to do a "Brentwood Hello" on
men, which is performing oral sex on a sleeping male
they know and are in a relationship with, to wake him up. The subject has been written
about concerning other women doing that as well. Under
Coast's premise, wouldn't that be considered rape too.

Best Coast slams Chris Brown for
'perpetuating rape culture'
17th April 2016 - Best Coast (Bethany Consentino) has
slammed Chris Brown for the track 'Back to Sleep',
arguing that the hit single perpetuates rape culture.
Consentino took to Twitter to call out not only Brown,
but the team behind the song and a review that
compliments the track, too. Brown - who pleaded guilty
to a felony assault on his girlfriend (at the time)
Rihanna in 2009 - called his younger self an "asshole"
late last year, saying his daughter had changed him.
Consentino said that the Brown track "tells" a woman
(rather than asks) he is "going to wake her up with
sex," and said the track is "disgusting" and "saddens"
her in a series of tweets. She concluded "rape culture
is everywhere and it's a big problem."...
