James Brown dies at 73

AP - 40 minutes ago ATLANTA - James Brown, the dynamic, pompadoured "Godfather of Soul," whose rasping vocals and revolutionary rhythms made him a giant of R&B and an inspiration for rap, funk and disco, died early Christmas morning. He was 73. Brown was hospitalized with pneumonia at Emory Crawford Long Hospital on Sunday and died around 1:45 a.m. Monday, said his agent, Frank Copsidas of Intrigue Music.

just heard! total bummer man and on christmas as well! last year it was derek bailey and this year its james brown.

no one can say he didnt have an amazing life.

In the words of Charles Bukowski, when someone dies let at least one man stand up and say what an odious gathering of cells that man was.

So, James Brown, the wife beater, arsonist, armed robber and thief has died?

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Ohh, I feel good.

:D

crazy shit

least funkiest christmas ever.

damn...

i will deff. be jammin to some of his choons in a while

p.s. its weird, i was actually listening to LA STYLES "James Brown Is Dead" song yesterday, argh.

james brown, prior insanity, was awesome, seriously, there would be no hip-hop w/out him, hugely influential, no funk. he was an original, more than you can say about most shit.

Well said.

I don't really care.

Yes. It is. If you would've been here back on old blue you would've known I had newts.

I see, so what happened to them?

I became far too broke for them. Rent, food, and illegal substances take precident over hobbies. I sold them.

I see, I lost my fucking money jesus how the hell am I supposed to go out.

Suck dick for money.

Nah I left that profesion a while ago, it was time consuming.

Not if you're good.

Well, there would be a line for it.

He was gonna play on newyears eve in New York.
lol

I heard about this yesterday. What can anyone say? Life's a killer, at least so says Burroughs, I suppose the bottom line is that James Brown made some really good music and influenced countless people, honestly almost too much of the soul/funk genre can be traced back to him. Without Mr. Brown, the whole genre of hip hop would be completely different and wouldn't have half of the drum breaks and samples that have made many of the songs great. That being said, I feel for his family and close friends. As far as his fans go, well I'm one of them and I suppose its not all too shocking, considering the lifestyle he had lived and his age, regardless the best way to remember him is by queing up ''The Payback'' or ''Hell'' in your musical device. Oh and remember him like this:
