(AP) – A song criticizing Chris Brown is getting radio airplay in Chicago, LA, and New York, among other markets. "My Flow So Tight," by a little-known dance group called Smoke Jumpers, features the repeated line: "Chris Brown should get his ass kicked," the AP reports. A website for the group hyped the song as "the official Chris Brown dis record."

"I was really upset with the way a lot of celebrities and people were handling the situation," said CW Griz, a group member who declined to give his real name because he expected Brown to be angered by the song. "Not enough people were speaking out against Chris Brown. What he did was a thousand percent wrong." Brown is scheduled for arraignment next week on felony assault and criminal threat charges.

the whole "band" thing kinda reminds me of the conflict between Creed lead singer and the Limp Biscuit lead.....except the lead singer of creed challenged Fred durst to a celebrity boxing match with the proceeds going to charity....durst wimped out.....although the reasons for the conflicts are very different in each situation
