TMZ just released this pic of Rihanna post-beatdown.

If Chris ain't beat up Rihanna, someone sure as hell did. That wasn't just five across the face..that's more like 20, plus some extra toes.

Food for thought: T.I. gets caught getting ready to go to war--snitches and gets off with the greatest deal known to man in that situation--his music tops the charts, people support him more than ever, and so on. Chris Brown allegedly beats up Rihanna and his cds are being burned, people are protesting, and music is being pulled from radio stations everywhere. Something ain't right.

You're probably wondering what one has to do with the other?...Not much, but I'm holding the T.I. situation as the bar for every fuckedupness in Hip Hop.
