I love Alicia Keys, Chris Brown, Usher, Mariah Carey... all that stuff.
Did you ever get the feeling that the world was a tuxedo and you were a pair of brown shoes?
There have been many great musicians that, Clifford Brown is one great example, I mean he died very early, 25.
I can't even imagine something being more fun than playing James Brown onstage.
But the courts have dismissed the lawsuits against me and Lee Brown.
Chris Brown owns 14 of my belts. Swizz Beatz owns a zillion of my belts. They were supporting me before I was even anybody.
I know that James Brown recording where he sings about Chicago. I think he sings, like, 'Chicago, my hometown!' That's what I think of when I think of Chicago. And I think of Chicago Bulls.
