Chris Brown is doing his best to repair his image. He took a year off from doing interviews, but somehow continued to make headlines. He won a GRAMMY, put out an album and may have found himself back in the arms of his famous ex… the same ex that sparked his downward spiral.

Like it or not, one thing you can not deny, is that Chris Brown is a talented guy. Not only is he a talented dancer, singer, and songwriter, he’s also a budding music video director and businessman. He’s got a lot going for himself, and MTV wasn’t about to let it go unnoticed. This past weekend, Chris was featured on their new show, “This Is How I Made It”. In it, he discusses his rise to fame, and shares a few of the lessons he’s learned along the way. Watch the entire interview below:
