Will.I.Am feat. James Brown?
Popular producer and musician got the chance to work with James Brown before he died.
On how they came together:
We were in London and I met him and I told him we should do a song together, and he said he’d think about it. The next thing, not only did he call, he showed up at the studio. He told me, “Something told me to work with the Black Eyed Peas. I don’t usually work with people. I don’t because I don’t have to. But something told me to work with the Black Eyed Peas.”
BEP’s hot, he’s working with everyone from Common to Michael Jackson.. you’d think he could afford some lotion…
He was recently spotted @ TAO nightclub in Vegas.. check out the pics ( and ash alert ) after the jump.
More on working with James Brown
So we set everything up and got to work. He asked me, “Do you want to do this thing your way or the way we used to do it?” I said, “Um, I want to do it the way you do, Mr. Brown.” “All right then, we’re just going to do it.”
We got to it and jammed for a while … later, he said, “OK, do what you going to do,” and he left to get something to eat. He came back after a while and listened in and he really liked it. “From now on, I’m gonna call you Baby Brown.” That was amazing ….
Later, he told me, “You got a good thing going, the positive message of the Black Eyed Peas, good messages, the world needs life …. ” The other thing he told me was that the sound of our music, he liked it and he said, “You keep going backward, if you keep going back like that you’re going to end up back where I started. You do that, and you got my blessing.”
Ash Alert ( sorry, we had to call you out on this one )
