Word is that's Danja at the end of Chris Brown's 2008 BET Awards performance

You all saw Chris Brown's performance at this year's BET Awards right? Boring start on "With You" and then bam! "Take You Down" starts, Ciara comes out lookin' fly, and the entire performance gets dirty and grimey real quick. Then the track breaks, the real dancing starts, and that's when you're sitting there asking yourself, "what the hell is this track??" Here, refresh your memory:



A lot of Chronicles readers hit me up the next day after the performance asking if Timbaland did that beat. Maybe it was a leftover interlude from the work Brown and Timbo did from this year's MTV Awards? No I knew it wasn't that but I still was determined to try and figure out what the track was from and who did it. Well I still can't say absolutely 100% but the word is that track is a snippet of a Danja produced track either "Work" or "Echo" off of Ciara's album Fantasy Ride. As you remember, Fantasy Ride will be a 3 part album with Danja producing the Crunktown" and "Kingdom of the Dance" discs.

The track definitely has Danja elements to it but until we get the official word, let's just keep that it as a hope so. Track sounds crazy!

  4. Hit Boy really? Ah well. His joint on Tiffany Evans' album was tight so that's cool.

  5. since when are danja's drums so obnoxious?

    but i'm guessing this question has been resolved, so no need to probe for an answer to that.

  7. I would dare venture to say it's not Danja (didn't strike me as one at all), but I think Boogie has already made that clear... I think. whoever the hell Hit Boy is, let him have his fame.

    doesn't sound like tim, either. who are the fools that have blasphemed so?

  9. Venture here...


    Ehh... I freaked out when I heard this track... well it may have to do with Ciara air humping Chris but...

    Drum arrangement... sounds Tim... Danja has... ehhh... weaker drums...

    Synths don't sound "Danja"... they sound like arpeggios, or arpeggiated synths.

    But... I think some of you underestimate the many known producers who work with Chris who have used certain Timbaland type styles in their tracks like The Underdogs... especially "Lottery".

    I don't know... but it did sound like a nice beat... and they progression on that sweeping grungy synth sounds like Timbaland... but yah...

  13. I don't think it's Danja. Sounds more like some form of knock off if anything.
