    Well, he was a real asshole, but he knew how to make music anyway. Rest in peace man.

    Yet the JB’s - most of them are alive. Bobby Byrd alive. Go people digging. Go celebrate the parts of the James Brown machine that are still running.

    How about my man Kush. Trumpeter and arranger from the JB’s

    hey per, go suck a tailpipe

  5. ian Says:

    Yeah, what the f-ck?! Whatver his personal shortcomings, his artistic legacy is unquestionable and unparalleled. The man was a straight genius and a F-CKING LEGEND. There would be no hip hop as we know it today (or maybe at all) without this dude.

  6. rainmizzl Says:

    ian, youre definately right, but hes still an asshole!! lol

  7. ian Says:

    Maybe, but he just died. What’s the motivation for stressing that point now?? Y’all dudes are just being disrespectful.

  8. Juliet Says:

    Yeah man, I was totally depressed about this too.
    I even think it was awesome when he at one point shot some guy for using his personal toilet. That’s gangster.

    Sixty percent of hipsters are a bunch of exploitative shit bags with no sense of respect, no sense period. R.I.P. JB.

  10. ian Says:

    Def. seems like it, Rev.

  11. Felix Says:

    Extremly sad. RIP

  12. R I P Says:

    rest in peace.

    this shouldn’t even need to be said, but a R.I.P. James Brown thread is obviously not the appropriate place to hate on dude

  13. Jay Says:

    ian, good defense, but you’re short sighted. Fuck no hip-hop, James Brown set the stage for a lot of musical genres and even revolutionized a pop act’s role on stage.

    legend doesn’t even begin to describe the man.

  14. ian Says:

    Absolutlely Jay, but it’s pretty apparent that a lot of people who read this site can’t even see that far back. They think Daft Punk invented house music, LOL.

  15. U-Tern Says:

    No James Brown = No Hip-Hop, No Disco, No Funk. Think about that for a second.

    RIP JB.

    “There’s a lot I could say about this man, but I don’t know if it matters now. I guess what matters is what he stood for, what he lived for, and what he died for. You always did everything the way you wanted it. And I didn’t understand that, but now I understand. I’ll never forget you, James. You’re the best.”

  17. Larry Levan Says:

    I invented house music!

    If you check out the people that are disrespecting the man post-mortem all over the internet you’ll notice one thing that they all have in common - they’re all loser ass white punks like per.
