“Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong.”

    Rest in peace…

  5. This is great news! Although his daughter’s crypt won’t be his final resting place. – “The crypt likely will not be Brown’s final resting place. A public mausoleum is being built, and its location will be announced once it is completed, Noerdlinger said.” – Washington Post

    I honestly don’t understand all this. JB was one of our greatest entertainers, and I’m not hating on them for trying to maximize the earning potential of his estate because deceased entertainers seem to earn more than live ones, BUT…

    There is NO excuse to not bury the man and let him be. I *MIGHT* go to his old home if it were a museum, but I’m not trying to visit his grave…black folks just don’t do that a whole lot. We barely visit our own folks when they die. We don’t do cemetaries too well.

  7. RIP Mr. James Brown
    A museum WOULD be interesting…

  8. damn, i thought he been in the ground by now!

    With all that has happened with James Brown and Anna Nicole Smith it is so important to have a living will so that you can make abundantly clear where your remains go who gets what. It is really sad when you see family members fight against each other because our wishes were not expressed. Doesn’t matter how old you are… GET A LIVING WILL!!!

  10. TANK

    BTWEEN JAMES BROWN AND ANNA SMITH I’M TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT THESE DUMB SELFISH FAMILY MEMBERS ARGUING OVER MONEY AND FIGHTING ABOUT WHERE SOMEONE SHOULD BE BURIED. IF THERE WASN’T MONEY AT STAKE HE WOULD’VE BEEN BURIED IN A WEEK.

  11. James and Anna were fucked over by their families… damn shame… and two babies are left without parents…

  12. vanessa

    agrees with #13. although blk people do take awhile to get the funeral organized and what not. this is just outrageous. but RIP james brown.

  13. Dang, was there anything left to bury??? Dang shame…

  14. Ma Mamma Biscuits

    oh the smell…

    rest your soul, mr. brown…

  15. What? I thought this was done and over-with…I didn’t even know about this. What?!

  16. HEY, DAT AINT MY DADDY WATCH

    WHY ARE THEY JUST NOW BURYING HIM? MAN, THAT WAS A LONG TIME.

    Just like Anna Nicole, she died like what 2 months ago and they buried her like yesterday!!!

  17. Woode29

    This is a damn shame! A nigga can’t even get buried on time…Fuckin CP Time is a mutha! Are niggas ever on time for anything important???

  18. Asentha

    Agree with #1. ‘Bout time!!!!

  19. Finally, thank heavens.

    RIP James brown.

  22. Nikki

  23. afrobabe

    R.I.P JAMES BROWN

  24. Hazeleyes

    I agree with #13. like most of you, i don’t want to think about dying either so i understand why most don’t have a LIVING WILL. on the other hand, i don’t think my family would act the “fool” either. who knows…something to think about though. REST IN PEACE Mr. James

  25. Meatloaf

    Get up a, get on up!

  26. CARAMEL 2

    I heard this morning on Steve Harvey that he may be moved again. They mentioned that he was in his daughters backyard in Georgia. This is sinful that he is not laid to rest. They are planning on putting him in a mausoleum like they did Elvis. Let the man rest already!!!!!

  27. Sherance

    rest in peace jb I’m a funk fanatic ands I dig james brown soul brother number 1 I love the long extended versions of papa don’t take no mess, giving up food for funk, the grunt, pass the peas, get up get into get involved man the list is endless. long live the funk.

  28. Ti

    I saw that on “E” that they finally buried him…ABOUT TIME that didn’t make any damn sense for them to hold off on having that man buried!

  29. It’s about dayum time! I am so happy to hear this. May he rest now and forever more. AMEN!

  30. ms_mac

    It’s pure disprespect that man wasn’t buried a long time ago. Some people really have no respect for the dead. But how could they? Some have no respect for the living.

  31. Jazzy J

    Well im glad to know that he was FINALLY buried, that whole thing was a damn mess. And although i understand no one wants to think about dying, when u are worth millions of dollars u have to have something set up, even if its something that says “when im gone so is my damn money” and then no body gets shit lol. It really tripped me out how his family was fighting over money that HE earned. Well the bottom line is i hope he rest in peace.

  32. DivaKai

    Im glad that they finally laid him to rest! It was far past due. All this fighting over money and where to bury the man was ridiculous. Thats why ya have t have an ironclad living will that leaves no room for misunderstanding, to insure that your final wishes are carried out to the letter.

  33. Coko

    Yeah, this drama was str8 ridiculous…

  34. Sweetz

    lmao @ #20…So true..

  35. DAMN SHAME, AND THEY HAD 76 DAYS TO FIND OUT HOW TO GIVE JAMES A GRACELAND-ESQUE MUSEUM SMH…

  36. Krystin

    it took them that damn long to bury his body! I swear people are terrible these days. i agree # 36-39… did they ever give the DNA test to that little boy that they claim is his last son. hmmm! looking at his picture i swear James Brown and that boy look like father and son. R.I.P James Brown for the last time

  37. BIG WILL

    Thank god somebody in this matter stood up and did what was right. The God father of Soul deserved better than this. If they want to make his Estate a museum, the first thing should’ve been to set him up a place for his burial near his house, so the fans could come there and see resting place. For all of you fans here like I am, set this serve as a reminder to have a will so that YOU decide who gets what from your estate, children, ex-wives, baby’s momma, shoever. People can be the best of friends until money gets involved. James, Barry White, Low Rawles, Anna Nicole Smith, Richard Pryor, it happens to everyone. Make provisions for your children, and if you have an ex or a “special friend” around, make whatever your wishes are known in WRITING.

  38. Ohsoluvlee1

    I live in Memphis and all I gotta say is…”Lawd not another Graceland…”

    RIP JB …

  39. Your Moms!

    I mean Damn!
    About time with it!
    I was about to go see if James wanted to throw one more concert while he was still here.
    I mean, shit, I would have….if I had known he was gonna’ damn be here that damn long :-)
    But, I guess, a family has to do what they have to do. I’m just glad his adult kids *kicked in the door wavin’ the four four*
    and started handling James’ business & getting that shit out of those lawyers’ & executives’ hands.
    Those white guys are money grubbing, don’t realllly give a fuck about James Mo Fo’s and many of them TAKE and TAKE. So, good for James’ family that they’re handling some shit up threw here!
    Oh, but it’s about that Whack Job ass companion.
    What is her DEAL?
    The way she’s all putting on a performance now on these TV shows. Bitch stop actin’- all slobbering all on Larry King and shit. Bring it down a notch whore!
    Those things she said about James in some magazine a while ago were really Not Cute! And she supposedly Loooved him sooo frickin’ much. Yeah right bitch.
    Save it for somebody who believes Heroin Addicts.

    She better be glad she was smart enough to get pregnant by the King of Soul.
    I’m sure she was trying to secure her future.
    Probably the smartest move that Crack head has ever made. Having a child by a legend.
