Chris Brown, who says he couldn’t focus on music while he was in prison, recently spoke with Billboard about what his days were like while he was incarcerated.
“A guard wakes you up; you eat,” Brown says in his cover story for the magazine. “You stay in your cell most of the time, basically 24 hours a day. Maybe on Mondays you go to the roof inside of a cage and have a phone call. It’s isolation. You have time to focus on what matters, on what to do and what not to do.”
Brown, who says he prefers to be a “free spirit” when making music, says he thought about why he was incarcerated.
“[I had to feel] like this happened for a reason,” he says. “There was a purpose. Maybe I was out of control too much. Or I needed something to humble me to the point where I get it. At that point, I didn’t look at it as trying to get out of the situation but learn from it.”
He also learned more about himself in and after prison, he says.
“My maturity level has risen as far as my realizing what’s important,” he says. “Realizing that I’m human like everyone else. At the end of the day, it’s just a humbling experience. You’re more appreciative of everything else that’s on the outside. A burger tastes 1,000 times better when you’re out [Laughs]. I’m just more appreciative of the things I’m blessed with and the things I do: music, being able to take care of my family, being able to see my friends and family. And do what I love and still be able to do it in a timely fashion to where people don’t think, ‘Oh well, he fell off.’ Still being able to be consistent.”
Brown is prepping his upcoming album, X, due September 16.

I just got paid $6784 working off my laptop this month. And if you think that’s cool, my divorced friend has twin toddlers and made over $9k her first month. It feels so good making so much money when other people have to work for so much less.
This is what I do,,,,,,

Hopefully he gets it this time because he is really talented and is going to screw everything up and waste it all on being moron. We’ll see only time will tell if he’s learn shit at all. Anyways that being said I cannot wait for this album to finally come out.
not happening. with this nigga saying in interviews “i am tupac of r&B” this only serves to further his delusions. same with gunfire. getting prison and getting shot only rewards this nigga. that’s how perverted we have become
THe only thing that will fix him is knowledge about the universe and that is very difficult to implement at this stage
currently he is operating under the paradigm of gangsta. there must be an entire belief system to supercede that paradigm which nothing short of multiple near death experiences and social ostracization will achieve.; so safe to say this nigga aint going to change for no one
THIS FAG WAS AT A PARTY THROWING GANG SIGNS GETTING SUGE SHOT THEN POSTING FAKE APOLOGIES ON TWITTER!!!! YALL KNOW HE AINT CHANGE ITS JUST A PUBLICITY STUNT
^we talking about you too dawg, cut it out
I think the poor boy is highly incapable of learning from his past mistakes and staying out of trouble. Did he not get diagnosed as bipolar? That makes it even worse.
what’s up. I wrote all the comments from “not happening. with this nigga saying…” to “THIS FAG WAS AT A PARTY THROWING GANG…”. i have severe OCD and I have to write comments in multiples of 4 or I get very nervous and start to feel like im dying. i am tapping the desk according to the fibonacci sequence as we speak. my condition ruins my life but it affords me exemplary piano playing prowess.
lol at the nigga above this comment who is trying to match my intellectual vocab “i think this poor boy…” poor boy! lmao! what are you a british guy from 1920s? and “highly incapable” that’s just bad syntax. this reminds me of when jamie foxx tried to be black tony blair on chappelle show and mkessed up the accent. and lol at the other nigga who thinks the all caps comment was a different person. “we are talking” ALL THE COMMENTS IS THE SAME NIGGA. ME! TALKING TO MYSELF!!! ape ass niggas always sensitive about appearing foolish and ignant. and ready to put down a fellow man to make themselves appear better. scared to be who they really is.
scared of love
i write most of the comments on hddx. ive easily bumped an article comment count from 100 to 300.
just writing this to even out my ocd. thanks its been real yall.
he aint been to prison he been a county jail
It was prison.
“[I had to feel] like this happened for a reason,” he says. “There was a purpose. Maybe I was out of control too much. Or I needed something to humble me to the point where I get it. At that point, I didnt look at it as trying to get out of the situation but learn from it.”
said every person who ever been to prison. nothing new here.
To Ceeda:
EXTREMELY well said.
You better wake da fuck up you,you are not Lindsey Lohan or Justin Biber they go to jail but never do time yo black azz was headed for the long haul they don’t care bout your chump change or fame get out of line and see what happen , so tinting your hair blond and acting white want do it either ask the late great MJ see what they did to him
Learned his lesson my ass. Calling himself Bhris Brown and being blood affiliated doesn’t equals a changed man.
Chris Brown is stupid why he wanna be in a gang? The nigga rich he ain’t gotta hustle he gonna fuck up again and be in San Quentin and Snoop is fuckin crazy why he dress in up like a honkie?
