[@fabiluvshion1]

Mick Jagger, Brian Grazer and Victoria Pearman deserve an Oscar for this Biopic esp. Chadwick,the fact that he made you forget he's acting and let the story be told and that is the true meaning of a Biopic movie.

[@superlex611]

The best

[@trudytriad4574]

I like that Chad accredits James Brown for the break beats in Hip hop, but I honestly think the credit belongs to the drummer. Not so? Copyright-wise, yes, Brown was very smart so the ish belonged to him on paper, but the creative source, the root, is his drummer. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[@katrinabaker5139]

@Trudy Rozani yes you are incorrect. So James Brown did not know "how" to play instruments but he knew what he wanted each instrument to "sound" like. If you watch this scene (kzbin.info/www/bejne/ep2wdIijlpydack) from the movie, Mr. Brown is instructing the drummer to play on the down beat, which classically trained musicians are taught is incorrect. That is the part that Chadwick is crediting to the genius of the James Brown sound. That style was created by James Brown not his drummer. And that is the sound that is sampled by other artists still to this day.

[@ojotuoluwabukola5701]

Katrina Baker you are so right!! If ppl saw the movie most especially rehearsal scene where he was practically teaching them what to do and not do!! The drummers just played but they played James’ vision!!

[@shantelaustin7927]
