Im about to show you a recreation of a crazy James Browninterview, Jordan Peele announces at the beginning of his latest clip. Its totally nutzoid, and its word for word.
In 1987, Brown was accused of assaulting his wife with a lead pipe and shooting a gun at a car that she was riding in. After getting out of jail on a $15,000 bond, the singer conducted a wild interview full of indiscernible mumbles, cheerful non sequiturs, singing digressions and jokes about his own song titles on TVbefore he headed off totour South America.Peele attempts to reconstruct the conversationin meticulous detail, mimicking Browns dress, mannerisms and even his dancing.
The original interview has more than six million views on YouTube. Peele is not the only artist thinking about Browns interviewlately. JUNE, the recently released mixtape from the rapper Hak (formerly a member of Ratking), samples the clip inthe song No Days Off.
For comparisons sake, watch the original below.
