Jame's Brown, in my opinion, wasnt the most talented soul artist, but he sure represented soul as a person. James Brown was a man with a lot a flaw's, he wasnt anywhere near perfect, he did allot of stupid thing's, but he never forgot where he's from and what he's doing, he stayed true to himself, and he had passion for what he did till the very end. That's soul, thats Hip Hop. It doesnt die, it cant die.
