Billboard lists Donny Hathaway’s 1970 single “This Christmas” as one of the best Christmas songs of the last 50 years, as well as the best Christmas song of its release year. Various artists have remade the track, with Chris Brown’s 2007 version having been streamed over 22 million times on YouTube. This year, Breezy got into the holiday spirit with a distinctly ratchet mash up of Hathaway’s “This Christmas” and “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.” Brown jokingly captioned his video rendition, “Someone had to ruin it!” 

The singer was decked out in a reindeer-themed Sherpa hat in front of a decorated Christmas tree. Brown showed off an impressive octave range during the serious part of his Instagram video before Reindeer were substituted for gang members in his version. Check the full video for Brown’s parody take, featuring thots and some harmonized commentary about his strip club exploits, in his Instagram up top.
