访谈录 2011-03-26&03-28 嘻哈小天王克里斯布朗专访

-Chris Brown, riding high. Brand new CD out, F.A.M.E it's out today. It already has three no.1 hits, the fourth one climbing the charts and the album is no.1 on iTunes today. It's a far cry from the last time the two of us sat down, just months after he plead 1 guilty to felony assault 2. He took responsibility for hitting his then girlfriend Rihanna and has spent the last two years rebuilding his life and career. My hair has grown a great deal since the last time I saw you too, Chris Brown, how are you?

-I'm pretty good, yeah. Everything is good, yeah.

-And thank you for sitting down for just a moment before. It's all about your music, your fans are here, but you have been very...good about talking with me a little bit about this because...We've gone through it, and talked about it when I went to your home, what's going on now? Is that the recently restraining 3 order against you that Rihanna had issue has been relaxed? Have you all...you've got events to be in the same room? Have you all seen each other, been around each other?

-I mean, not really. I mean, it's not really a big deal to me now as far as the situation. I think I'm passed that in my life. I think, today is the album day so that what I'm focused on. So everybody go get the album.

-That is something that we are here to talk about. Thank you very much for willing to do that.

-Thank you!

-F.A.M.E. F-A-M-E, what does that stand for?

-FAME, forgiving all my enemies and definitely 4, fans are my everything, and that meaning, like, you know, being able to go through everything I went through and show my fans that I love them, you know. That's what it is. Fans are my everything.

-When you say "forgive all your enemies", who do you consider your enemies?

-Just anybody, naysayers, haters, whatever the case maybe I just think, you know, being positive and promoting is what I am about now. That's what I'm going to do.

-Yeah. But you can understand how some people, you know, that was very serious, what you went through, what happened, what...and even the judge though afterwards said you had served your time, as far as the community service now and moved it on. Have you been able to...how have you been able to?

-I've been focusing on this album, you know. I think this album is what, you know, I want people to hear, I want to people to really get in to. So, definitely, this album is what I want them to talk about and not the stuff 5 happened two years ago.

-I understand that, I understand that. Thank you for allowing me to go back that way because there have been a lot people that were tweeting about it. But you do see the people that around here and it is about your music and they have stood by you through thick and thin. So what is it about the music for you that helps you?

-You know, it enables 6 me to escape and be able to reach my fans because I think when you got mainstream 7 American and you come to different places in the world, people always want to, you know, bring what situation we are bringing up now. And I think eventually, it's just about my fans. You know, it's not about, like, I'm doing this for my fans. So I can care less what everybody else thinks.
