Video - Justin Bieber’s Shawty Mane Raps on Chris Brown's New Single “Ladies Love Me”

Okay, we get that Justin Bieber wants to break out of his bubble gum “Baby” image and start his career anew with his next album.

But we’re not sure if hard core rap is going to be his thing.

Bieber just released a new track of his alter ego Shawty Mane rapping with infamous hip hop stars David Banner and Chris Brown on Brown’s latest single “Ladies Love Me” from his upcoming mix tape.

Maybe we are missing something, but this song seems to be missing a beat or two. The backing track sounds very superficial and the drums sound about as fake as they can be.

Also, the turntable scratch seems too load and it all seems like it was mixed by a kindergartener.

What do you think?

I hope this is not an indication of what Bieber plans to release with his new album later this year.

This song almost sounds like something they threw together playing around in the studio as a joke.

But then again, maybe we are missing something.

We know that the Biebs is trying to appear more mature and “manly” these days to help break away from his younger teen-idol mold, but were not sure if this kind of music suits him – or his huge established base of fans.

We also don’t think pranking a Burger King employee and coning on video while cruising around in a $400,000 Rolls-Royce and getting pulled over by the cops will help either.

It does seem that Bieber is now back in the studio full time after taking a much needed break from touring.

He has tweeted several times that he is in the studio and even released a few photos of him and Brown coming and going.

He has also taken some time off to help jump-start his girlfriend Selena Gomez’s tour that kicked off last week.

Justin was seen at her debut concert in Boca Raton Florida before being chased by fans and getting caught with his pants down on a Miami hotel balcony - shirtless and wearing only a pair of grey boxer shorts.

Time will tell how this young artist wishes to portray himself to the public and to his fans. But we hope he treads lightly with the rap because we’re just not sure if his fans will go for it.

But for now, Justin Bieber is Shawty Mane...

Are you a fan? Would you want to hear more rap like this from Justin?

Photos - Justin Bieber Goes Shopping Wearing “F*** You” Shirt

There comes a time in every teen idol’s young life when they are too young to act like adults and too old to still act like a child.

Justin Bieber seems to be smack dab in the middle of that transition.

Bieber and his best friend Ryan Butler took time earlier this week to stop by the Armani Exchange in Los Angeles to do a little shopping.

Bieber arrived wearing a blue shirt with the original and uncensored lyrics to the now famous Cee Lo Green song “F*** You”.

A far cry from any lyrics on any JB song eh?

The thing we found interesting is that his friend Ryan Butler was carrying his own shopping bag, but the Bieb’s bodyguard Kenny Hamilton seems to be carrying Justin’s shopping bag.

Really? Can’t even carry your own bag these days?

I wonder if Cee Lo is wearing a shirt that says “Baby Baby Baby”.

Probably not…

The 17-year-old superstar sure has been acting out these days trying to show us he is not that sweet little kid we fell in love with three years ago.

Last weekend, Bieber and his friend Sean Kingston videotaped themselves in a $400,000 Rolls-Royce convertible pranking a local Burger King and attempting the difficult “Double Coning” procedure.

They filmed it all with a flip cam and JB almost ran his expensive car into the wall. They also got pulled over by the cops that night.

That same weekend he was also photographed by the paparazzi after walking out onto his hotel balcony shirtless and wearing only his grey boxer short underwear. Of course the leaked photos were posted to the internet within minutes.

Some really smart people think this may all be a well calculated ploy to show the world he is no longer a kid and does indeed have an edgier side to his budding adult personality.

After all, he has a new album coming out later this year and some suspect it will be a big departure from his days of bubble gum love songs - and his official entrance to his young adult persona.

Just stay away from the booze and drugs, and don’t get thrown on jail and your fans will still love you.
