The Rise of Chris Brown (Documentary)

0:00 I know that I got it like in my pocket. [ __ ] the break. I'm doing a show and I'm ready to [Music] talk. Your boy Chris Brown. The first one. The first little boy got it. You know the song. [Music] [Applause] [Music] I'm not that good with speeches, so I just wrote something down right quick. I guess I would have to say I was around 11 or 12 when I found out I could sing. [Music]

0:52 [Applause] same room. Have you all seen each other, been around each other? I mean I mean not really. I mean it's not really a big deal to me now as far as that situation. I think I'm past that in my life and I think today is the album day. So that's what I'm focused on. So everybody go get that album. [Music] Yellow bottle sipping. These ain't loyal. They been playing games. Yeah. behind the yellow bag. I don't want to play no games. No games. Everything he do is amazing. And you've always given it to Michael Jackson.

1:37 But now you're getting people where they say, "Man, Chris is better than." You know what I'm saying? How do you take that? That's cap. Like, I wouldn't even be breathing or even being able to sing a song if that man didn't exist. All night we can do it all night. Oh yeah, this about to be a good one. Christopher Maurice Brown was born on May 5th, 1989 in Taperhanic, Virginia. A very small town. His mom is a former nursery director and his pops was a corrections officer at a local prison. As little as 2 years old, that boy Chris was teaching himself how to sing and dance. His parents had a collection of

2:24 soul albums that he loved before taking more of an interest in pop and hip hop. His favorite artist to watch and learn from was the goat MJ and later Usher. He would join a church choir and in elementary school he would perform in a lead role in a Christmas production called Elvis inspired by Elvis. Around this time, his parents divorced and his mom's new boyfriend and later husband was physically abusive and would even witness his mom be beaten and see her nose bleed. Living with this dude, he was in constant fear. He was also pretty athletic as he was actually in the eighth grade basketball team when he was just in the sixth grade. He attended Essex High School in Virginia. And when Chris was 13, a talent scout visited his small town and set up auditions at a gas station, and he wowed them with his voice and dances. From there, a demo

3:10 tape was produced and Chris will hand out his CDs to everyone in school with one of his first songs being called When He Went under the name C Sizzle. Bro, listen to this. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Hey, what's up, bro? Never mind. What? I'm the fire to your thought process to your brain. Make you want to change your name. So I can't be

3:55 your man and gain point to your game. Start to Chris Brown's first ever music video was the song Whose Girl Is That. Just look how young he looks here. [Music] I got to talk about a man named Clarence Jenkins aka CJ who played a huge role in Chris Brown's life. He was record and executive music producer and label head at Hitmission Records/UNiversal Music Group. He worked in the music industry for over 30 years and had a real knack for discovering young talent. CJ would help launch Chris Brown's career and track 14 on their first CD release. And at age 13 years old, Chris Brown would move to New York. And one of Chris

4:41 Brown's first stops would be at Def Jam's offices where he would audition for Def Jam's senior ANR executive at the time, Tina Davis, who would be impressed by Chris immediately and took Brown to then president LA Reed. Chris would get into contract negotiations with Def Jam, almost signing to them. But then Tina Davis would eventually get fired from Def Jam. But Chris Brown rocked with her so much and trusted her enough that he ended up making Tina his manager. So Tina would then start shopping his demo around in the industry. Chris Brown in 2004 would have a major label war going on between Jive Records, Warner Brothers, and J Records. He would end up signing with Jive Records. After seeing the success that Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake had with them, Chris felt like it was the perfect label to bring him to the pop world.

5:28 Subtitle album. I think I just want to explain who Chris Brown is so they can just I get that stamp as Chris Brown. So they be like, "Oh, that's Chris Brown CD." Instead of just having a title, so you don't know who the artist is. Run it actually means being eligible to be a girlfriend or boyfriend. Like, show me what you got. Let me see if you can run it. If you if you can do this, then maybe I can holl at you. So, run it. Well, Yo is is the second single. It's produced by Andre and Vidal. It's basically explaining the first thing a guy says when he sees a girl, whether it be a mall, amusement park, or anyway, he be like, "Yo, yo, what up?" Just yelling just yell at her. But I flipped it. I didn't want to make it seem like I was disrespecting her and saying, "Yo, this the only thing I could say cuz I didn't know her name." She was leaving, so I had to get her attention. I was like, "Yo, come here. Let me talk. Let me talk to you right quick." Yo, tell me fellas

6:15 have seen her. It was about 5 minutes ago when I seen the hottest chick that I'm young ain't never seen before. There's never a right time to say goodbye. But we know that we got to go our separate ways. And I know it's hard, but I got to do it. And it's killing me cuz it's never right time. Right time to say goodbye. Mama, you may be three years older but you hard. Give me that. You be talking like you like what I got. Give me that. I know you like it how I lean in the L. You be in the back saying give me, give me, give me. Chris Brown will go on to drop his debut right out the gate with a classic album receiving massive critical acclaim and had nothing but hits all over the place, bro.

7:04 What it is, folks. I ain't even baby. I can take a summer cuz I know goodbye. Let me see if you can run it. Girl, I can run it. I don't know your name, but excuse me, miss. Try to keep it. [Music] Oo yeah. It debuted at number two and sold 154,000 copies first week and is now certified three times platinum at least. Yo, what's popping? It's your boy Chris Brown and this is my first ever DVD. I'm really really excited. Three things that I want to achieve in the next 5 years. Wow. Be in movies probably on my own record label and as

7:50 well as uh my own clothing line. 2006 a very fun and interesting year man. especially in music. And of course, Chris Brown. At the 2006 BET Awards, Chris Brown would take home the best new artist trophy over Neo, Rihanna, Paul Wall, and Chameillionaire. Damn, throwback. He would also go on tour on the Up Close and Personal tour with artists such as Wayne, Neo, Joel Santana, and more. But what I think the tour is going to be like, I think it's going to be a lot of energy. We got a lot of different uh variations of music. You got a lot of hip-hop and R&B mixing. So, so I know like as far as with all the guys, everybody got a lot of energy. It's going to be a lot of lot of fun and a lot of excitement on the stage. A lot of

8:37 screaming fans. But we going to have fun. Just make sure y'all watch us, man. Watch us. [Music] Speaking that with that be the reason that all [Music] Where you from and how long you been dancing? I'm from Pomemetto, Florida. I've been dancing for about all my life. I dance at Alvin Lee. Okay. All right. Well, really trying to get at me. Sierra and I are going to kind of judge or watch this thing. So, you kick it off first and then Chris, you're going to have to duplicate what she does. Okay. All right. Can we get some music, please? Don't hurt me, though. Don't hurt me. Oh. Oh.

9:24 Hey, give me that. I ain't going to do all that now. [Music] All right, that was quiet. All right, I'm going to stick to the boy version of that. Okay. The guy, the male version, you want to give me your mic. Chris uprising uprising uprising up. Hey, y'all was made to bounce like this. Yo, this house must be higher up than I thought because right now I'm looking at an angel. Oh my god. Chris Brown,

10:10 how you doing? I know who I am, but I'm interested in who you are. I'm Briana. Briana? Kind of hot. Oh, but you're also only 60. Ain't nothing but a number. Tell me. So, if you're not afraid of calling a 16-year-old and afraid of a little jail time, here's my call. Oh my god. 2007 was one of Chris Brown's biggest and most successful years of his career. I mean, what didn't he do? Seeing the world through the eyes of an animal forces us to see the world and ourselves in a new light. Thank you. That was excellent, Will. For a new student, you're really catching up nicely. Caitlyn, you're up. Ruff ruff ruff ruff ruff ruff ruff ruff ruff ruff ruff. Okay, Caitlyn, that's enough. Will, you

This is the big the big premiere of very very cool movie. I just can't wait to see what you experience. The movie, man. The experience in itself was actually just an honor and a blessing just to be on the set with the incredible extraordinary actors and actors. I got a chance to really meet a lot of different people from the directors from the producer, from the stylers, the wardrobe ladies and everybody. Everybody was so down to the humble. So that brought me back really had me really love what I was doing. Yo, when he did that elbow thing and then when he died in that movie. Come on. Everybody cried. I know you did, too. Stop playing.

11:43 [Applause] Come on. [Music] New album about to drop. Yeah. How you feeling about that? with a new album. It's going to be incred incredible cuz it's called exclusive. I made the album like, you know what I'm saying? The title definitely for my fans because you know how you might get people that get the album and people criticize it or people or people um just talk about bad about it because they hating or or you know what I'm saying? You have the fans to just get it because of the support and the love. That's exclusively for them. So that's why I made the album exclusively for the people who wanted the album and loving it. So what's going to be like you know what's the theme of cuz you know I see a lot of albums now they go from a story

12:28 telling people talking about stuff that's going on in their life. I mean, what's your angle this time, man? Because, you know, you could have went way left or you kind of sticking the same thing. Tell people, give them a little clue of what's going to happen, man. Like, I'm I'm in the middle. Like, like I I think I'm my style is is is not changed, but it's just my like my growth as an artist has changed. Like, me having fun on the records, me writing about true stories, you know what I'm saying? Writing about creative ideas and dancing and different things like that in the album. So, it's it's just bringing every everything together. [Music] Chris Brown's second studio album exclusive was finally released on November 6th, 2007 with nothing but banger after banger. Would you say this is a classic? [Music] and kiss

13:15 [Music] that I want you. I don't need nothing but let me take you down. I really want to take you down when I'm with you. And I'll never forget the time period this came out, man. I was in middle school at the time. And I was out here bootlegging CDs, ripping them off Limewire, writing on it with a Sharpie, putting all these songs on my MySpace profile. It was just a different era, man. He was also featured on Rihanna's hit song Umbrella, making his own version called Cinderella.

14:04 [Music] even performing with her at the 2007 MTV Awards as well as being in the movie This Christmas, which is a pretty good movie, and releasing a single for the film with the same name. Chris Brown and Rihanna actually met for the first time back in 2005, long before they would get into a relationship. The pair met as teenagers, as you can see from this photograph of them super young

14:51 in 2005. a babyfaced Riri and Breezy were snapped backstage at the Z100 Jingle Ball held at MSG in December of 2005. Both mega stars at such a young age with both having smash hits with Pondi Replay and Run It around the same time. From there, their paths continued to cross. They both had a lot of chemistry together and were seen together all the time. In fact, paparazzi were so crazy over them that they couldn't even get something to eat without being ambushed by them. I mean, that does come with fame, though. But yeah, just saying 2008 was another huge success for Breezy as he would be featured on a bunch of songs. What you do? Let me see you let down your loose. I know I know what them girls I know. I know what them girls I know. I know what

15:37 them girls like to me. And it's obvious it's plain to see that you going to make us both. Palace toast to the hustlers like me. [Music] Damn near every music video it seemed like. And he also re-released his exclusive album and called it the Forever Edition because of his new smash hit Forever, which was originally supposed to just be for a Doubleman commercial. Crazy. [Music]

16:25 Now, you just re-released your album exclusive. What's new about this version that you Well, the new album, the re-release. Actually, I I didn't really have a reason for re-releasing it, but I just wanted to re-release it for the fans cuz I added four songs. So, I was like, "Let me just give them more songs. I I didn't want to just give y'all just a regular I I actually put like 17 songs on the album, but I was like, let me just give you like 20 something. So, it's good. And I got a DVD that shows like behind the scenes footage of me parts of my tour, but then it's going that that leads up to the new DVD I'm going to release during the summer, like the middle of summer, and it's going to be the big actual tour that I did in the States. So, so what we have, since it's wild Wednesday, we're going to have you do your little Wild Out thing, and we got an improv set up for you.

Roxy, get over here. I like that. Oh, our next guest is a pop superstar who just also happens to be one of my favorite dancers in the world. Please welcome the incredible Chris Brown.

18:01 Chris Brown at this point in his career was an absolute superstar beyond measures. He was loved by everybody from the personality to the music to the performances on stage. He could do no wrong. That was until everything would come crashing down on him though in the beginning of 2009. And we begin attent with breaking news. A Grammy Award nominee has just posted bail on criminal threat charges. Chris Brown is accused of assault and battery. Neither he nor his girlfriend, singer Rihanna, showed up at tonight's award show. Kal9 Sariah Fidel live now at the Midwilshire LAPD station with the breaking details. Sariah and Juan. Just a few hours ago, we saw Chris Brown drive off with his attorneys out here minutes after he posted bell.

18:47 According to sources, the alleged fight broke out inside a Lamborghini that was located at Hancock Park. After two and a half hours in police custody, 19-year-old R&B artist Chris Brown bailed out and drove off with his attorneys in this black Escalade. He reportedly canceled his Grammy Award performance and went to the LAPD Wilshire division to turn himself in. The exact charge was criminal threats and uh it's going to be investigated as a criminal threats investigation. There may be domestic violence charges added later, but that will be up to the district attorney's office. Sources tell Kal 9 and CBS 2 Brown's girlfriend, 20-year-old pop star Rihanna, is the woman involved in the alleged domestic violence assault case.

19:33 According to sources, 911 calls reported a woman screaming in this Hancock neighborhood shortly after midnight. Sources say Brown fled the scene on foot and police found facial contusions and bite marks on the victim's arm. Was booked and released on a $50,000 bond. Chris Brown and Rihanna were last seen at the Clive Davis pregrammy party Saturday night. They performed and left together. Nearly 24 hours later, mother. Both were a no-show for the 51st Grammy Awards where they were scheduled to perform and up for multiple awards. Anything that I heard, you know, I don't want to speak too much on it, but I was completely devastated by the concept of

20:20 what I heard. So, I mean, you knew I had to talk about it. Some would say that if this incident had never occurred, Chris Brown's career/stus in the game today would be way different. I've heard people say he'd be way more famous and just overall bigger on a global scale than he is today. Some say he'd be like a Justin Bieber or bigger than Drake is today, etc., etc. He's obviously already a star and famous today, but how much bigger would he have been if everywhere you go, people didn't always bring this up? This is always that dark cloud that's always lingering above Chris's name for the rest of his life. Really [ __ ] Every time I bring up his name, there's like no in between. It's either you forgave him and you still love him or you just bring up Rihanna or woman beater or you express how much hate you

21:06 have for that man. Like I said, there's no in between. I'm probably going to get a bunch of comments on this video just about this situation alone or nothing but hate comments. But either way, people have a strong connection and passion when it comes to Chris's story. Look, obviously what he did was terrible and I would never justify putting your hands on a woman, which he admits a bunch of times is wrong and regrets everything. But personally, I think everyone deserves a second chance in life and even Rihanna forgives him and will always love Chris. They've made amends and it's over with. But people to this day still bring it up and it's a shame for Chris Brown's sake because that just goes right back to what I was just talking about. Where would his career be at right now if that didn't happen? He even said in his 2017 documentary, and I quote, "I went from being on top of the world, number one

21:52 songs, being kind of like America's sweetheart to being public enemy number one. I felt like an effing monster. Hi, I'm Chris Brown. Since February, my attorney has advised me not to speak out. Even though ever since the incident, I wanted to publicly express my deepest regret and accept full responsibility. Although I would do some interviews and answer some questions in the future, I felt it was time that you heard directly from me that I am sorry. I have tried to live my life in a way which can make those around me proud of me. And until recently, I think I was doing a pretty good job. I wish I had the chance to live those few moments again, but unfortunately I can't. I cannot go into what happened and most importantly, I'm not going to sit here and make any excuses. I take great pride in me being able to exercise self-control and what I did was inexcusable. I am very sad and very

22:38 ashamed of what I done. My mother and my spiritual teachers have taught me way better than that. I have told Rihanna countless times and I'm telling you today that I'm truly truly sorry and that I wasn't able to handle the situation both differently and better. I recognize that I've truly been blessed. I've been blessed with a wonderful family, wonderful friends and fans. God has been generous in giving me the ability which has brought me fame and fortune. I've done a lot of soulsearching and over the past several months I've talked with my minister and my mother and I spent a lot of time trying to understand what happened and why. I have let a lot of people down and I realize that and no one is more disappointed in me than I am. As many of you know, I grew up in a home where there was domestic violence and I saw firsthand what uncontrolled rage could do. I have sought and I'm continuing to seek help to ensure that what occurred in February can never happen again. And

23:25 as I sit here today, I can tell you that I will do everything in my power to make sure that it never happens again. And I promise that what I did was unacceptable 100%. I can only ask and pray that you forgive me. Please, I hope that others learn from my mistake. I intend to live my life so that I'm truly worthy of the term role model. Thank you. Chris stayed relatively quiet for most of the year. That was until he would go on to drop his lead single, I can transform you, in September for his next studio album, Graffiti, which is a very underrated album, by the way. He followed that up with his next single, Crawl, releasing on My Birthday, actually, on November 23rd.

24:11 Both singles were decently successful, and the album would finally release on December 8th, 2009. to not so good reviews. It was mostly [ __ ] on by critics really. It debuted at number seven and sold 102,000 copies first week. In fact, Chris Brown himself was actually upset at the way it was distributed, tweeting, "They didn't even have my album in the back, not on shelves. Sold for myself. I'm tired of this [ __ ] Major stores are blackballing my CD, not stocking the shelves and lying to customers. What the f do I got to do? I'm not biting my tongue about [ __ ] else. The industry can kiss my ass." Despite all that though, the album has some really good gems, man. Like What I Do [Music] Chase Our Love, which is one of my

24:57 favorite Chris Brown songs ever. [Music] So Cold, [Music] the title track, Graffiti. Sing like me. [Music] Yeah, this album is pretty solid. Joel Santana would actually get Chris Brown on his song Back to the Crib in the end of this year. [ __ ] is a banger for real. She don't know that we going back to the g. [Music] Interestingly enough though, Def Jam's president, La Reed, wanted Trey Songs to

25:44 do the song instead of Chris Brown because of the whole incident, but Joels was like, "Nah, bro. I want Chris." Now, it's 2010 and this was the start of a new Chris Brown saga and kind of a reboot of sorts. And in my opinion, some of the best music from Breezy came from this time period. At this point though, after graffiti didn't perform well, Chris would fall into a deep depression. From his friends and family to his fans turning on him, he took some time to reflect on his life and contemplate if he still even wanted to make music anymore. And this is where he would become really close friends with Tiger. And in my honest opinion, this may be a hot take. But bro, Tiger really rejuvenated Chris Brown's career and gave him that fight, that dog, and he lit that flame that was under him. And

26:29 that confidence really started to show after being around him. Chris would kind of start leaning more into the hip-hop aspect of things during this time, too, and started building his fan base from the ground up. This was the era where the snapbacks and tattoos really started being a trend, and Tiger's swag was all about that. Chris Brown's audience grew from mostly females to a mixture of dudes rocking with him. Now, Tiger even talked about this time in an interview. Yeah, Chris is like, you know, he just like me though. We we we think a lot. You know what I'm saying? just and at the end of the day, you you got to think like Chris went through a point to where like, you know, to the point to where he didn't even want to do music anymore, you know what I'm saying? Because people was bashing him so much, you know what I'm saying? Like in the situation he went through. And I didn't judge him, you know what I'm saying? Like I still looked at him like, "Yo, you Chris Brown, you you Mike Jack, you know what I'm saying? You got to you got to make

27:15 music." You know what I'm saying? But he he wasn't like really motivated to do that. I flew out to Virginia. I stayed at his crib for like 2 months and we recorded a whole mixtape. That's when we recorded deuces, all that. You know what I'm saying? So like I was with him at that point to where like people wasn't like really with him like that. You know what I mean? But I was just like who car you got the gift like a lot of us in this generation a lot of people that never going to have. Before he would drop that fan of a fan mixtape. He would drop his first ever mixtape called in my zone and it was pretty fire. It was something for the fans for real and I loved it with bangers like Twitter. Please excuse me for the smell. Too freaky. I got that long money. So is my dude. Change my pamper homie because

28:02 I'm on that new [ __ ] And how low can you go? He would then go on to release fan of a fan on May 16th. Call me broom. This is for my ass sexy ass. Makes me want to say say bye-bye. Say say byebye. Say say byebye. We been together for a minute. Now it feels funny to be doing something different. We can do it all. And it really put Chris Brown back on the map as well as making Tiger a force to be reckoned with too. I'm so raw. Turn the oven on. Chef Papa John, I get

28:49 the parmesan. I was actually a huge Tiger fan around this time, bro. The well done mixtapes. [ __ ] I'm the [ __ ] You could ask anyone that knows me, bro. I had the Last King snapbacks going crazy. But anyways, at the BET Awards this year in June, Chris Brown would dedicate his performance to Michael Jackson, who had passed away a year prior. And Chris Brown put on one of his best performances. Man, honestly, to find this footage, yo, I had to go through hell and back to find this [ __ ] fam. I can't really show all of it though cuz copyright, but Breezy started crying like crazy when he started performing the song Man in the Mirror, as it was so fitting for him at the time going through what he went through for a whole year and losing one of his idols. I'm sure it was a lot for him.

29:36 I feel your fever from miles around [Music] [Applause] you. Okay. Are you okay? [Music] His [Applause] wind is blowing my mind to be [Music] battle.

30:24 If you want to make the world a man, [Applause] I'm totally down because it's going to be amazing. Um, people going to be talking about this for a while and I think uh the basis of everything it was just something different that I think all of us kind of learned something from. In the summer of this year, he would be featured in another film, Takers, where his performance is really good. For real. Now Chris, the question that all of America wants to know, did you do your own stunts? Yes. Yeah, you did. Yeah. How do you like prepare for that? I mean, I know it's like all type of um exercises and stuff. How do you prepare for stuff like that? Yeah. I didn't I didn't really exercise like they they used to be like, "How you don't stretch like that?"

31:10 You didn't stretch. Not stretching. I was like, "No, I just kind of just already do it. [Applause] [Music] Later on that year in November, he would go on to release another mixtape, In My Zone Part Two, with some pretty lazy cover art. I'm not going to lie, bro. But it has some pretty dope tracks. [Music] Keep going. [Music] Damn sh you can bring on your friends. We got them like [ __ ] Godamn. Feel like I just want a lot. I found a one in a

31:58 million. You know we [ __ ] up. And later on this year, he would go on to announce his next studio album, Fame, which in my opinion saved Chris Brown's career. [Music] Cuz I'm killing every [ __ ] that can try to be on my [ __ ] I think I better let her go. I can't leave you alone. Right next to you. You had my child. I'm going to make you. I'm going to make you girl. I want to I want to see you tonight. Beautiful.

32:45 Don't you know? Our special guest is an eighttime Grammy nominee whose latest album, Fame, boasts three consecutive number one hits. The album Fame, which was Chris Brown's last album with Jive Records, was released on March 18th, 2011 and debuted at number one, selling 270,000 copies first week. It was his first number one album and went on to go double platinum at least. The critics are kind of hating, though. Some of these reviews are bugging. A 52 out of 100 from Metacritic. What are you smoking, bro? This is probably Chris Brown's best album in my opinion. And I remember when this came out, damn near every one of these songs were on the radio, bro. It was everywhere. Every party, every car that was driving by was

33:31 bumping these songs. But anyways, he also ended up putting deuces and no [ __ ] on it from how successful those songs were. The album won five awards at the 2011 BET Awards and would eventually go on to win three Grammys, including winning best R&B album, which was actually Chris Brown's first ever Grammy. And it also won best R&B album at the Billboard Awards. 2011 was arguably Chris Brown's biggest year and definitely a comeback for sure. Yo, y'all remember the Cat Daddy? I mostly remember the music video for Chris Brown being in it. [Applause] [Music]

34:23 and the features he was doing this year was bodying everybody's song like New York on another [Music] the search of the fire of gold. Give me a mic. I'm about to sing and do it just like baby. You don't have to try to read my mind cuz you know I want to get it in. In promotion for the album Fame, he was on Good Morning America where he was apparently blindsided by the questions he was being asked and you could visibly tell he was a bit frustrated about it. What's going on now is that recently the

35:10 restraining order against you that Rihanna had uh had issued has been relaxed. Have you all have you all seen each other, been around each other? I mean, not really. I mean, it's not really a big deal to me now as far as that situation. I think I'm past that in my life. And I think today is the album day, so that's what I'm focused on. So, everybody go get that album. Yeah. But you can understand how some people, you know, what what that was very serious what you what you went through and what happened and what uh and uh even the judge though afterwards said that you had served your time as far as the community service and that and move it on. But have you been able to how have you been able to I've been focusing on this album? You know, I think this this album is what, you know, I want people to hear and want people to really get into. So definitely this album is what I want them to talk about and not the stuff that happened two years ago. I understand that. And I understand that

35:56 he still went on to do his performance, but after this what would happen. Chris Brown's GMA appearance Tuesday. The singer stormed backstage in a rage. A cooler was thrown and this window was broken. Wednesday on BET's 106 and Park Video Countdown. Brown expressed his frustration over being asked a question about his past in the GMA interview. I was thrown off by it. You know, I felt like it was like, okay, they told us this just so they can get us on the show to exploit me. you know, that's what I thought, you know, and so I took it very very hard. Although you can see me upset, you know, I kept my composure, did my performance, and when I got back, I just let off like steam in the back, you know, I didn't didn't physically hurt anyone. I didn't I didn't try to hurt anyone. I just wanted to release just the anger that I had inside me because I felt like I worked so hard for this music and I love my fans and I love

36:42 to be able to make positive music that I felt like people kept just trying to take it away from me, take it away from me. So, yes, I got very emotional and I and I apologize for acting like that. He also dropped a pretty dope mixtape in August of this year, Boy in Detention. [Music] I brought the snap back back last kings and them kissers. Yeah, they sound like crack. I tried to tell you [ __ ] I'm the greatest. You [ __ ] made I was 15, a Virginia [ __ ] with ambition, but I enision. It's definitely a special year for me as I graduated high school this year and Chris Brown just kept his foot on the gas with a bunch of fire features.

37:29 [Applause] Only imagine what it be like you might take it to the eyes. Girl, I want to [ __ ] you right now. It's been a long time I've been missing your body. We having a celebration. Let us stay high. We having a celebration. Let us stay high. Now, this whole thing with Drake and Chris Brown that happened at a nightclub in New York, nobody truly knows what happened unless you were there or he said, she said, was it over Rihanna? Who knows bro? I look up and I see like people in the middle. I'm like, all right, it's not going to go down cuz you know what I'm saying? That's just probably people talking. I think I caught a bottle coming by like going this way and then

38:15 whole bunch of bottles coming back to this way and then just mad commotion. Whoever was in the middle was pretty much getting beat up. That's when a big brawl broke out. Like I guess the body Chris Brown bodyguard I guess that's who that was that was getting beat up. And Drake was drunk. Everybody was drunk. Liquor and too much liquor in a celebrity plus somebody that they don't like is not a good thing. But I'll tell you one thing, there was definitely some bad blood between the two. Chris Brown, right, and Drake, the club that the drama that went down in the club, bottles being thrown, so on and so forth. Do do these cats really need to touch each other, you know what I'm saying? Then the Twitter gang banging and you know, yeah, I think it gets crazy. I mean, regardless if it's actually over the

39:00 girl or just disrespect between the two of them, they they need to, you know, they could cool that down, right? You know what I'm saying? like before you know it turns into something else and they going to see what it ends out because it's going to end up lawsuits flying and all kind of Yeah man. Trust me, I don't get involved. Me and him don't see eye to eye. So, it's going to be You and Drake or you and the lawyer? No, me and Drake. You know, I don't really try to talk about him when I'm around here. I just lay the pipe. I don't for the media and like for any media outlet that listens to this interview, like don't ask me [ __ ] about that man when I come up there. You know what I mean? Like, and leave that man alone, you know? Stop praying on his insecurities, man. cuz you know his insecurities are the fact that I make better music than him, that I'm more popping than him, and that at one point in life, you know what I'm saying, the woman that he loves fell into my lap. I did what a real [ __ ] would do and

39:47 treated her with respect so she doesn't she's not up there talking down on me. You know what I'm saying? And all those things combined, you know, create an individual that comes up to your radio station and and and is just going to, you know, do dumb [ __ ] But it's like, it shouldn't be about tearing that man down. It shouldn't be about wanting to see me and him tear each other down. Like, we have an issue and it's either going to drag out or or maybe in 10 years we'll laugh about it over drinks, but just let us solve that [ __ ] cuz it's not me and Kendrick. It's not me and hoes in common. It's not even you in common. You're not going to get anything out of it. Like, no, I don't want to hear that man rap. You know what I'm saying? Nobody wants to hear me rap against him. I'm, you know, like I really do this [ __ ] Like, that's not you're not even going to get anything out of it. So, I just like I just urge people, man, to just, you know, like, and when I say people, I mean like media, like just leave that [ __ ] alone, man. Just leave

40:32 that man alone, man. Let let him put out that whatever project X or whatever that [ __ ] he's working on, and I'mma just do, you know, I'mma put out this real [ __ ] for the people like, and that's it. I mean, damn. [ __ ] All right. He would go on to drop his next studio album, Fortune. And it was pretty successful, debuting at number one and sold 135,000 copies first week. And it had a bunch of singles like Turn Up the Music, Don't Wake Me Up, [Music] even Strip was on here. And some other really underrated songs are on here, too.

41:20 free in the world and they depending on us. Let me take this bullet bullet out [Music] straight from the country right there with my mouth. Don't judge me, bro. That song and the music video puts a tear to my eye. I am not going to lie. Don't judge me. And his performance at the 2012 Billboard Awards was fire. Activate fun zone. Turn up the music if they try to turn us down.

42:07 Just turn it up. [Music] [Applause] And towards the end of this year, he would go on a 6-w week overseas tour. Now, we're in 2013, and around this time, Chris Brown was already dating Karuchi on and off since 2011, but also was giving Rihanna another chance, too, as you can see them here together after the Grammys. Back up for me. Back up for me. Back up for me.

42:53 Back up for me. Back up. Back up. What's up, Brianna? How you feel? Back up. Back up. Back up. Back up. Come on, my man. Are you with Chris? In fact, he said he was in love with both women at the same time. He talked about it in his Sway interview in April of this year. I was in love with two females, right? So, you know, during that process, their feelings toward that, you know, like women are emotional, men are emotional, and I can't, you know, be selfish and think that they would have a a okay feeling towards it, you know, but but I just had to be honest and if they accepted it, they accepted it. If not, that's just my consequences because

43:39 that's just how I feel, man. You know what I'm saying? So, the good thing is they're two both wonderful women and they just was like, "You know what? We just want you to be all right, right?" And so, I was just like, you know what? [ __ ] Now you just made it even harder. How do I pick? But what's your relationship like of Karuchi now? I mean, we're cool, man. As far as I wish it was it could be better. It's better to see her happy and, you know, successful in what she does. And I think hopefully her her being able to experience everything she's experienced with me over the years and get, you know, the just even exposure cuz at the end of the day, it's not for her to to be put on or become famous, but I like taking care of the people that that I can say I love. So, you know, do they get along? Um, you can I'm I'mma I'mma bring it up.

44:25 I don't care. The one time I was overseas, it was around that same time like of when I had a girlfriend, but I was, you know, I was still talking to Rihanna and it was like, so I went there, I shot the the everyday is your birthday and I hit the floor with shot. So they threw a party on this big boat. My girl was there. Mhm. And maybe 15 minutes later, Rihanna showed up. But I'm on the boat like, "Oh shit." Like, "What am I going to do right now?" And you know what? They were cool, bro. They rocked. They spoke to each other and I was like, "Whoa." Like, "Please." I said, I was just praying. I said, "Please." Yeah. You thought you was going to go overboard, right? They brought the plate. Please. But but honestly, that was the first time that I could say I knew they

45:11 love me because they they didn't they they were classy. Around this time, Chris was ready to drop his next studio album, X, where he said in multiple interviews that it would be releasing in July of 2013, which didn't happen. But he did drop a few lead singles for the album this year. Find China. Don't think they know. Love more. [Music] Don't think we know the truth. Say complicated. Why is it all so complicated? He also unofficially dropped the song Home, which had a whole music video for it too. [Applause] that money

46:00 as well as bodying a couple features this year. [Music] Not a problem, baby. Energy is strong enough to brighten city lights. My whole team touch one touch. She going to give me all the love. She's ready. And you sound like uh uh hey looking up in space mommy you remind me of something but I don't know. He also dropped a little mixtape this year called X Files. Look into my eyes and see what I see and seen my miscar

46:46 thousand times. Feels like you shine me with a 38. In October of this year, he ended up getting arrested for an altercation in a club. Chris Brown was in Washington to host this party at a nightclub Saturday night. According to the police report, the victim, Isaac Parker, tried to get into a photo being taken of Brown and a female fan early Sunday morning outside the W Hotel in Washington. At that point, according to the police report, Brown said, quote, "I'm not down with that gay expletive and quote, "I feel like boxing." The victim told police that Brown and his bodyguard each punched him in the face. Here's an eyewitness. It was hurt. Seriously hurt. You know, his uh his shirt was uh full of blood. You know, that's I'm talking about the

47:31 noise. I didn't see him throwing any punches or whatsoever. I was like, "Why this?" This arrest could have severe consequences for the popular Grammy award-winning R&B singer. with the charge eventually becoming a misdemeanor. But Chris entered rehab for anger management. Things didn't go too well for Chris in rehab, though, cuz in February of 2014, the facility stated in a letter that he became aggressive and acted out physically due to untreated bipolar disorder, severe sleep deprivation inappropriate self-medicating, and untreated PTSD. And crazy thing is the official version of Loyal smash hit with Tiger and Lil Wayne was released the next month in March of 2014. And 2 months later, Chris was sentenced to a year in jail, but only ended up doing a month. The song ended

48:17 up becoming a top 10 Billboard hit while he was incarcerated. Crazy. When a rich [ __ ] want you, baby. [Music] In June of this year, he would go on to drop the next lead single for his album, New Flame, which was all over the place this summer. [Music] X was finally released on September 16th, 2014. a whole year and some change after it was supposed to be released, debuting at number two and sold 146,000 copies first week and is now certified double platinum with some real underrated gems on here, especially do better. Banger

Girl, I know you want to be my main chick. My main chick.

49:52 [Music] 2015 started off on fire for Breezy as he didn't waste no time dropping the joint project with Tiger fan of a fan the album on February 20th 2015 which had two hits on it [ __ ] and marijuana any girl that I got marijuana. And the smash hit. Hey yo, I'm a bougie assig, that song was everywhere that year. I ain't going to lie. If you were to go on a double date, who would you hook me up with? Like a double date? Like first of all, like if I was going to go on a date, who would I like to go there?

50:39 All right. It could be anybody. So like in a perfect world, right? Like if Beyonce was single, it'd be nice. You know, I take Beyonce there, you know, I'm greedy, so like I need that by myself in it. But like the second day, I would give you someone like like really rich like like the queen. Oh snap. Yeah, man. Like get that money like knock the dust off it though. No, knock the dust off it, mate. Like Yeah man. Okay. No, no offense, Queen. Love you, mate. Love you, darling. Knowing me so well, if you were to produce my mixtape, what would you name it? Like, you're my brother, man. Like, it's like money and cars and Okay. Like, can I say hoes on on the radio?

51:25 Yes. If you're speaking about money, cars, clothes, and hoes, that would be like the name of it. I like it. And gold. I like it. Chris said in a Breakfast Club interview this year that he was working on a new album, going for a direction that would have been the sound predominantly overseas. A couple months later though, he found out that he had a daughter on the way, and at the same time broke up with his girl, Karuchi. That happening made him change the idea for the album, ending up doing mostly R&B songs that he described as representations of where I was in my life at that point. And he ended up going on a year-long tour this year called the One Hell of a Night Tour. [Applause] [Music] The way you meat. [Music]

52:26 Anyway, [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] I won't let you down. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Just felt like showing you guys that. No real reason other than that [ __ ] is fire. Chris would go on to drop four lead singles for his next studio album,

53:13 Royalty with Liquor. There's something in his liquor. Oh yeah. Back to sleep. [Music] Fine by me. [Music] And zero. With zero being my favorite. That [ __ ] is gas. Before he would go on to drop royalty though, he dropped a mixtape on that piff called Before the Party with 34 songs on it. Come on, Breezy. [Music] [Applause] [Music]

53:59 Wish I was the one who couldn't brea without the other one. He would eventually drop his seventh studio album, Royalty, on December 18th, 2015, debuting at number three and sold 184,000 copies first week. The album is named after his daughter, Royalty Brown. And I think this is a very solid, well put together album with some other amazing tracks like Picture Me Rolling. [Music] Anyway, [Music] wrist and little more royalty. That song is beautiful by the way.

54:48 [Music] Did you guys know that Chris Brown made an antidote remix? I feel like some people don't know that. And of course, the features [Music] come [Music] crazy. All these [ __ ] but my eyes on you. Used to be the kind of [ __ ] [Music] Gave you my word, but they were just broken promises.

55:35 You love me so much. We got me on five more hours till the night is six rings and I do gymnastics with a brick and flip it. Oh, I'm the man. You know I'm the man. Girl, come with a rich [ __ ] I'm rocking skinny jeans like make my dick bigger. I play for that ass. I'm a sick [ __ ] Don't die. Let me crash for the moment. told you enough. In the beginning of 2016, Breezy would go on Periscope and preview some new songs for his next album. [Music]

56:26 Baby, I'm trying to see mommy. Yeah, she me give up the battle just to escape. And in March, he would collaborate with DJ Benny Benasi for the song Paradise. [Music] And on April, he will go on to tweet this. Team Breezy to-do list. One OP mixtape drops Friday. [Music] You can't even go around. You need a minute. Sing it to when I kiss it. I got a dripping heated.

57:12 [Music] Two section boys. Quo ob song whipping and three new Chris Brown single May 5th. [Music] Singer Chris Brown is out of jail this morning on $250,000 bail after being arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. Police swarmed his Los Angeles home yesterday after a woman claimed that Brown pulled a gun on her. The hourslong confrontation at Chris Brown's Los Angeles mansion started when police responded to a 3:00 a.m. call for help. He was threatening me with the gun in my face. Model Bailey Kern, who's connected to a

57:59 grand lararseny case in New York, claims she was looking at a diamond necklace when the singer got angry, pulled a gun on her, and told her to get out. And I was just standing over it, admiring it, not touching it. And then one of um Chris Chris's friends said, "Back away from the diamonds." And that's when Chris came in and said, "I'm so sick of all of you people." Took the gun out like this, put it in my face, and said, "Get the f out." Did you think that he would pull the trigger? I thought he was going to shoot me. I do recall him taking it from his side. So, I don't know if he was already strapped with it. As cops gathered outside his home, Brown posted videos on social media claiming his innocence. I ain't did I ain't going to do and it's

58:44 always going to be the police. Black lives matter. Good luck. When you get the warrant or whatever you need to do, you going to walk right up in here and you going to see nothing. You idiots. That's a lot. How many cops were there really? I don't know. A yard full. A football team. Come on, y'all. If it hadn't been Chris Brown, would that have happened? Absolutely not. Damn. On a more positive note though, around this time, Chris Brown would go on to build his own studio at his crib to really start going in for this next album. But before he would do that, he would go on to drop another mixtape in October called Attack the Block. [ __ ] I'm really about that action. I'm running up a ticket and [ __ ] [ __ ] in traffic. See these [ __ ] trying to get you to the table and hit you up later like I'm over, baby.

59:30 is a new game. And towards the end of this year, he would drop a smash hit with Party. Tell me this song wasn't everywhere, bro. Any [ __ ] that want to telegraph [ __ ] because they need a look, they broke, and number one, you're a snitch. I ain't going to do all that jawjacking so you can write your report officer soldier.

Make sure you get your tickets on pay-per-view. [Applause] [Music] Wait a minute. Wait a minute, bro. Did he just go from being on the treadmill to posting a picture of Lean and his watch? Like, what? I can't, bro. Like, I That is so lame, bro. Unfortunately though, the fight did not go down. I really wanted this fight to happen, bro.

1:03:18 Like low key, that [ __ ] would have done millions of views. That would have been straight comedy. But besides all the BS, girl, I see you back in [Music] baby. Yeah, you're perfect. Got to compliment your kids. Baby, why you me? All I wanted was not trying to be part of that way. Baby, I don't care what them people say. Might steal your turn to another. 2017 was the year he was gearing up for

1:04:04 his next studio album. So on March of this year, he would drop the single Privacy. [Music] And in June, he would drop his own documentary on his life called Welcome to My Life, where he talks about a lot of different things and goes really in depth on the situation that went down with Rihanna. In August, he would go on to drop two more singles, Pills and Automobiles and Questions. [Music] We're all baby from the moment you was dancing in the pushing out on me. And in October, he would drop the last single leading up to the project, Highend, which is such a banger, man. [Music]

1:04:52 The album Heartbreak on a Full Moon was finally released as a double disc on Halloween of this year. Yeah, there were a lot of songs like 45, but overall I enjoyed it a lot. There's a lot of hidden gems on here as the album has a very cohesive, dark, and soulful tone to it. [Music] You know, chasing my like a fool. You got me going around. You got me like in the wild. In fact, it was really highly praised by critics. Usually, they be hating like crazy on Breezy, but not this time

1:05:38 around. Despite being counted for only three days of digital and streaming sales because of its release in the middle of the week, Heartbreak on a Full Moon debuted at number three and sold 220,000 copies within those 3 days alone. And if 45 songs wasn't enough, that boy blessed us with a deluxe like a week before Christmas. Screaming like, "Oh yeah, oh yeah. I got a way. You got the way." Now you act like you don't know nobody. [Music] In the beginning of 2018, Chris Brown and Joiner Lucas out of All People announced a collaboration project titled Angels and Demons on February 25th with the release of the single Stranger Things.

1:06:23 It don't make a difference, [ __ ] We win it. I'm plenty grinning. 100 million platinum [ __ ] you ain't got to listen to cate. But the project was never released. In March though, he would be featured on a smash hit by Lil Dicky called Freaky Friday. Man, when this came out, it was such a breath of fresh air and different to what we usually get in music videos. The acting by Breezy was phenomenal, too. [Music] It was just great. And for the majority of 2018, Chris Brown will go on his Heartbreak on a full moon tour. Who? Wait, if you had to label one king of R&B today, who would it be? For our generation, Chris Brown.

1:07:09 It's It's hard to argue that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. On January of 2019, Chris Brown would release his single Undecided in leadup to his ninth studio album. But I'm undecided. [Music] The single was Chris Brown's first release after signing an extension and a new license agreement with RCA Records that gave him the owning of all his master recordings, making him one of the youngest artists to do so at the age of 29. He would go on to release a few more singles for the album with Back to Love actually being the most underrated out of the bunch. Cuz the race to love is never over. Show me, show me love. Wobble on the dick. Wobble up. Wobble wobble up. Trips that you plan for the next week.

1:07:59 And No Guidance being an absolute classic as soon as it dropped. I think that's one of the best R&B tracks of the last decade. And it was cool to see Breezy and Drake squash whatever beef they had. The album Indigo would finally release on June 28th, 2019 with a deluxe that followed a few months after. He just loves to bless us, huh? Debuting at number one, selling 108,000 copies first week, making it his third number one album since Fortune back in 2012. The album was certified platinum in the same year it was released. [Music] Life of the party shots of the brown and you see me from the street but I don't turn around. Looking like you just trying to

1:08:46 got you a heat. She can get it running over me. She heard her on me and she know I'm a freak and take it easy. Don't have to decide. Man, I make you some type. You going to blow my cover, baby. You going to make me pull it. I'll give you that level, baby. And you already know he went on tour for that album. He called it the Indigoat tour. Pretty dope. And Chris was ranked number three on the Billboard top R&B and hip-hop artist of the decade. Ironically, behind Rihanna and Drake. We all know how 2020 went down. It was the craziest year I've ever experienced in my life. Riots, pandemic, lockdown, no concerts. [ __ ] was chaotic. But in the midst of all the craziness, Chris Brown

1:09:33 hit us with a collab tape with Young Thug. I was super surprised when I saw this actually came out. The artwork is fire though. But I was like, hm, how is this going to sound? Turns out we ended up getting a smash hit out of it. And this song was all over the radio and social media like crazy with a little dance challenge that was going viral, too. Hey, Chris. Chris, come on, bro. Come on, bro. You gotta go crazy one time. Bring it back. Bring it back. Let's go. Let's go. Hey, what? What? Come on now. Give us something something. [Music]

1:10:22 Go crazy. Go crazy. Huh? Hey. Hey. Hey. Oh. Oh, there it is. Come do the go crazy challenge. No. Come on. You have to do it. Come back. Come back. Yeah. Make it back. Yeah. The song is a timeless hit. With some other dope tracks on it, too. [Music] Nice and easy. [Music] He was also featured on Drake's Dark Lane demo tapes on an underrated track

1:11:07 called Not You Too. In July of this year, he would announce that his next studio album will be titled Breezy, but we wouldn't get it until 2 years later. In 2021, though, he was killing it out here with the features as usual. And she holding my word. Baby popped a [ __ ] and everything but a bird.
