Who’s gonna save Michael Jackson’s soul?

Well, probably no one, but friend Jay Electronica is campaigning for a greater appreciation of the vast contributions MJ has made to our lives with his.
When he first sent this over, I thought Swagger Jackson was Action’s hep nephew from Harlem. But if you read the lyrics, it far less macho than the name suggests.
Jay Electronica “Swagger Jackson’s Revenge”

I’m the first to admit that Michael Jackson was a huge force for young Info. One of my happiest memories is of an MJ-themed birthday party and the half a dozen hubcap-sized pins that I got that day, with various MJ photos on them. Some with his pet monkey, some with his curl.
But I’m not so deluded that I cant see that the boy with Bubbles was a boy in a bubble and it wasn’t a very sterile environment. His childhood seems like it was all father issues, family dysfunction, mental abuse, and unhealthy excess.
So does that make grown Michael any more acceptable?
Doesn’t feel like it. And all the Akon-Rodney Jerkins-Neyo in the world may not help. Another big-time producer/artist has recently been enlisted (by who knows, some investor in Bahrain?) to remake Michael for the 80th time. But all Jay probably really wants is that old thing back. Sorry, Jay, that ship has sailed, but even MJ’s recent Zorro masks can’t ruin the memories and the classic music….we’ll always have Liberian Girl.
(clearly its late and I need to sleep, lol)

I was the biggest MJ fan from 1983-1984..until Hip Hop went national and Prince dropped “Purple Rain”. Then Prince dropped “Around The World In A Day”, then “Parade”. Then the first Golden Era of Hip Hop kicked in (1986). By the time MJ came back with “Bad” I had forgotten who he was…and when Prince dropped “Sign O’ The Times” it was a wrap for Jacko.
I looked at Prince and saw Vanity, Appolonia, Jill Jones, Sheena Easton, Sheila E., Cat, etc. I looked at MJ and saw Bubbles, Emmanuel Lewis, a couple of llamas.
Who you wit?
LOL.
One.

You cant be serious Dart? I hope your just trying to make some people laugh, Your comment is wack in my eyes.. But hey thats how I feel.. I personally feel that we should listen to music and not let people personal life change how you feel about their music. Yeah MJs time will never be the same. But we dont need it to be. Thats what special it was then, For alot us it was childhood. But without mjs breakthru Black music wouldnt be where it is now. He is still the KING and the biggest Influence in entertainment. He had some rough times , maybe somethings we dont agree with. But so what.. WE ALL got some shit .. other people would approve of. Well to wrap my shit up. Im always going to love and support MJ music, What he does on his spare time isnt my concern.. Much love

WTF??????????????
MICHAEL JACKSON IS WAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY BEYOND lil prince
MICHAEL JACKSON IS THE GOD OF MUSIC AND DANCE.
MICHAEL JACKSON DOESN´T GO TO CLUBS….BECAUSE ONLY FOOTBALL STADIUMS AND OPEN PARKS HAVE THE 100.000, 500.000, 1.000.000 OR MORE CAPACITY TO HOLD ALL THE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE FROM ALL AGES, RACES, COLORS, RELIGIONS, NACIONALITIES, ECONOMICAL, IDEOLOGICAL AND POLITICAL SEGMENTS FROM ALL THE COUNTRIES, ALL THE CONTINENTS, THE WHOLE WIDE THE WORLD THAT ARE DYING TO ATTEND HIS WORLD TOURS CONCERTS, WHICH ARE BIGGER THAN ANY POLITICAL RALLY WILL BE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
lil´prince can only dream of having the attendances per concert that Michael Jackson Has Which Are The Largest Of All Time. That is why lil´prince, who is more like robyn HAHAHA!, has to settle down for lil, no one knows of, meaningless, smelly clubs, even if lil´prince tries to make a concert in an 50.000 seats baseball stadium, he Will Have 49.500 seats absolutely, complety and totally EMPTY… OR ACTUALLY MORE! Because NO ONE, NOBODY, NADIE! wants to waste money to listen one of the most boring “singers”, singer? can he be called that? can he be actually considered that?…maybe being EXTREMELY generous, with the MOST RADICALLY LOUSY, LAME, BORING ANNOYING, FASTIDIOUS “songs” OF ALL TIME! and who has one the most embarassing voices EVER!
So True.
Why mtv censored Black Or White and They Don´t Care About Us?
and anyways, that´s what makes an artist good????? having “dirty” songs???? that´s just someone who VERY sexually and emotionally inmature. AS WILL SMITH GRADMA WOULD SAY: YOU DON´T NEED TO USE CURSE WORDS TO BE INTELLIGENT.
And is Michael Jackson The First Artist To Be On The Simpsons! Even That! Because Matt Groening Recognized That Michael Jackson Is the Biggest And Greatest Artist Of All Time!. Now ALL singers, directors, actors, actresses, athletes die to be on The Simpsons.
……OOOOOOOHHHHH, “warning labels”, wooooow…sooo rebelious!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NO, Warning Labels exists and are put in the albums today Because Of TWISTED SISTERS.
…And No, Michael Jackson doesn´t sell 140.000 tickets in 20 minutes, if that even happen to lil´prince, Because… MICHAEL JACKSON SELLS EASILY 1.400.000, 2.000.000. 4.500.000 Or More TICKETS IN 10 MINUTES WORLDWIDE!!!!!!!!!
HAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Michael Jackson is better singer, composer, musician, sells more, wins more awards breaks and set more records, has larger attendances, more popular than any other artist of All Time…Yes, but “prince is better because, because…ahh…uhhh… you have to hear him! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! THATS THE OLDEST, LAMEST, MOST PATHETIC EXCUSE HISTORICALLY USED BY seconds best, ALWAYS, like clyde drexler fans saying “oh no” “Michael Jordan scores more, takes more rebounds, gives more assists, wins more awards, wins more games, but clyde is still better” NEVER!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! DEAL WITH IT!!!!!!! You admire a second best, who WILL ALWAYS BE second best, and thats being extremely generous with lil´ prince EXTREMELY
lil´prince IS NOT EVEN AMONG THE TOP 100 GREATEST ARTIST OF ALL TIME!
The Only Other Artists that are second to Michael Jackson are Elvis Presley And The Beatles, and NOT EVEN THEM COMBINED MATCH MICHAEL JACKSON!!!!!! THAT´S A FACT.
1. MICHAEL JACKSON
2. Elvis Presley
3. The Beatles
……………..And Yes!, By The Way…MICHAEL JACKSON IS THE MOST SUCCESSFUL ARTIST OF ALL TIME, IS THE FASTEST AND GREATEST SELLING ARTIST OF ALL TIME WITH MORE THAN 750 MILLIONS COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDE (UP TO 2008 MORE THAN 800 MILLIONS SOLD), THRILLER IS THE FASTEST AND GREATEST SELLING ALBUM OF ALL TIME WITH MORE THAN 104 MILLIONS COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDE (110 MILLIONS COPIES SOLD UP TO 2008) IS THE FASTEST AND GREATEST AWARD WINNING ARTIST OF ALL TIME WITH 405 AWARDS WON UP TI 2008 AND COUNTING AND IS THE MOST HUMANITARIAN ARTIST OF ALL TIME WITH MORE THAN 300 MILLIONS DOLLARS DONATED TO SOCIAL CAUSES AND EFFORTS WORLDWIDE CERTIFIED BY THE GUINNESS WORLD BOOK OF RECORDS (SCIENTIFICAL FACT, not opinions) IN LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM IN NOVEMBER 2006, but mtv, vh1, rolling stone, e! and all the corrupt elitist american media never report about it because they want to mantain a false, distorted image of Michael Jackson
left wing media historical anti Michael Jackson Bias Anyone? YES!
He doesn´t need the approval of THE MOST BIASED ANTI MICHAEL JACKSON, LIBERAL ELITIST, CLASSIST MAGAZINE THERE IS! WITH THE BIGGEST MUSIC IGNORANTS, CONVITED AND CONFESSED PROFESSIONAL MICHAEL JACKSON HATERS BIGOTS, that everything that Michael does, doesn´t do, says, doesn´t say is always destructively, negatively critiziced and smeared, THOSE lists of rolling stone, mtv, vh1, etc. DON´T MEAN ANYTHING! they only reflect the prejudiced view of the executives and editors of the chronically corrupt liberal media that self proclaimed themselves haters of MICHAEL JACKSON, the same ones that invent the most stupid, ridiculous stories about Michael…rolling stone magazine…as if it was a credible, unquestionable source of information…HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MICHAEL JACKSON IS TWICE, TWICE!!!!! INDUCTED TO THE ROLL AND ROLL HALL OF FAME AS THE YOUNGEST ARTIST TO BE INDUCTED EVER BOTH AS A MEMBER OF A BAND AND AS A SOLO ARTIST!
When Most Artist NEVER are inducted to The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, And The VERY FEW ones that actually do, are after they are dead or after they turned over 60 years old.
MICHAEL JACKSON AT 42 YEARS YOUNG HAD ALREADY DONE IT TWICE, TWICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MICHAEL JACKSON IS THE FASTEST AND GREATEST SELLING ARTIST OF ALL TIME HE WON THE POPULAR VOTE AND THE ELECTORAL VOTE, DEAL WITH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D
By The Way, the soundtrack of Batman Was Offered As First Choice To Michael Jackson By Tim Burton And The Executives the Warners Brothers Themselves And Michael Rejected It Because He Had WAAAAAAAAAAY Much More Importants Things To Do Like The Most Successful World Tour Of The 1980´s And To This Day In 2008 One Of The TOP 3 Most Successful World Tours Of All Time: BAD 1987/1989, Only Out Done By Michael Jackson Himself, Of Couse, With Dangerous 1992/1993 and HIStory 1996/1997 Entertaining MILLIONS of people Worldwide, who were eager to feel the emotion of seeing Michael Jackson The True King Of Pop, Rock And Soul Perform Live, Of Being THRILL!!!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! WHAT A BAD JOKE IT IS!!!!!!!!!!
That is True!.
lil´prince as HISTORICAL DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISTANT SECOND BEST, was offered as second choice, which…well…the…uuuhhhhh…batdance
lil´prince is a minor apostle that nobody even remember his name
MICHAEL JACKSON IS GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MICHAEL JACKSON IS THE GOD OF SINGING, MUSIC AND DANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Michael had plenty of vocal ability after his voice changed. Just listen to “Human Nature”, “Butterflies”, “You are not alone”, “Lady In My Life”. Yes he did start lip syncing a lot after the Bad Tour but homeboy could still bring it when he wanted to.

The artist on this snippet sounds like Tom Gist of Dipset fame. Could be wrong, regardless, not a bad flow on a “we need more beats like this” beat.
Speaking of beats-i hope Roger Troutman (RIP) torments T-Pain for his “pepsi clear’ attempt at the original.
