Chris Brown is in the #1 film in the country, “Takers,” and now that he’s done with Hollywood (for now), he’s going back to the lab.

“Me, I’m definitely writing on other people’s projects. A lot of in-house stuff,” Brown said recently in L.A. “I got a lot of artists coming out. The single ‘Deuces’ features one of my artists K-Mac and Tyga [from Young Money]. I’m pushing forward. The movie’s out, so I’mma have fun.”

“Deuces” is in the top 30 ofBillboard‘s Hot 100 charts and #1 on urban radio. The record’s success is simply due to fan support. It’s part of Brown and Tyga’s Fan of a Fan mixtapeand skyrocketed once the video hit virally and on MTV Jams.

“That was actually Chris’ idea,” Tyga told us about putting out a visual for the song. “I thought the record was dope. I thought it was dope for us to do that video. He got to explain his situation. It connects to his fans. His fans miss that from him.

“I think the people chose the record,” Tyga added. “We put the mixtape out, and we asked them: What record do you like the most? They was like, ‘Deuces.’ It was always coming up. It was growing on YouTube as well, like 100,000 views a day on YouTube. It was his idea to shoot the video. My homie Colin Tilly, he’s done all my videos. He’s done everything. All my mixtape stuff to the bigger stuff I’m doing now. He got it right. It’s what people wanna see, what they wanna hear.”

Despite the overwhelming success of Fan of a Fan, Tyga said he and Chris aren’t planning an official LP, but they are hitting the road together.

“I don’t think you wanna drown people too much,” Tyga said about making a full album with Brown. “We’ve been doing a lot of stuff, though. He’s on my album. We’re actually working on a tour right now. A Fan of Fan Tour at the end of the year. It’ll be dope.”

Tyga has an album coming out soon; it doesn’t have a release date yet. But his next mixtape, Well Done, will hit within the next couple of weeks. It’s going to be a Gangsta Grillz edition.

“I feel like I had to deal with [DJ] Drama. He reminded of Wayne, when he did Dedication with him,” Tyga explained. “[Wayne] was going in on every beat. All the mixtapes I’ve been dropping, they’re close to albums. They’re more songs. They have more content. This one, I wanted to rap on everybody’s beat and murder every beat that’s out. It’s fun to do that. It’s easy. I can knock that out real fast. I think Drama is dope when you wanna link up and murder beats like that.”

Some of the tracks Tyga is pilfering are Soulja Boy’s “Pretty Boy Swag” and Nicki Minaj’s “Your Love.”

NYPost: Why Chris Brown CAN’T Tour With Usher

FILED UNDER: News, Touring | PERMALINK
August 28th, 2010

Chris Brown will not tour with Usher because of financial reasons, and not because Usher believes Brown is still tainted, his camp claims.

Rumors have swirled that the two may team up on stage during Usher’s upcoming tour after the R&B crooners performed together in July at Jamaica’s Reggae SumFest concert. But both camps now say that’s not happening.

Music insiders say the reason is that Brown already had a tour deal in place with Live Nation and it’s impossible for him to extract himself from that deal. Live Nation would not grant a waiver to loan Brown out for the Usher tour.

Other sources speculated that talks ended because Usher’s camp thought it wasn’t a good idea to be on tour with Brown. “They didn’t feel it was the right time,” said one Brown insider.

Brown is still dealing with the fallout after he attacked his ex-girlfriend Rihanna before the Grammys last year. He pleaded guilty to assault and was sentenced to 180 hours of community service and five years probation.

But sources close to Usher say that is absolutely untrue. “Usher has no issue with Chris,” one insider told us. “He and his camp were absolutely positive to the notion of touring. There were discussions, but it did not pan out.”

“There are no plans for Usher and Brown to tour together,” said Usher’s management in a statement.

Aside from Live Nation’s contract lockdown, Brown may not be able to tour overseas as he’s still having trouble getting a visa to travel because of his conviction.

This week wasn’t all bad for Brown: California Judge Patricia Schnegg told him at a court hearing Thursday that “he was doing a great job” serving his probation. And his new movie, “Takers,” with Idris Elba and Zoe Saldana was released yesterday.
