Brown's first music video was for his debut single "Run It!", taken from his self-titled debut album.

Brown's music video for the single "Forever" (2008) was directed by Joseph Kahn and was "highly regarded as one of the best videos of 2008".[2][8] It earned Brown three nominations at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards in the categories of Best Dancing in a Video, Best Choreography and Video of the Year.[2]

Joseph Kahn also directed the music videos for the singles "I Can Transform Ya" and "Crawl", taken from Brown's third studio album Graffiti (2009).[9][10] In 2010, Brown appeared in the film, Takers, as Jesse Attica. Which he produced as well[11] His music video for "Look at Me Now" (from his fourth studio album F.A.M.E.) was well received by critics for displaying various colors and intricate routines performed by Brown and several dancers.[12][13] It won Video of the Year at the 2011 BET Awards.[14] Colin Tilley directed the video for "Next to You" — a collaboration with Justin Bieber, which was set in a post-apocalyptic environment.[15] The music video for "Beautiful People" featured personal footage of Brown's everyday life and cameo appearances from Diddy, Brandy, Bow Wow, T-Pain, Nelly and Timbaland, among others.[16][17] In 2012, Brown starred in the film, Think Like a Man, as Alex.[18]
