2008 is basically a geriatric based on how ktt people post so i will take that as a compliment

yeah, I think people think I am putting him in the tier of Pop Smoke and Juice when obviously MJ is exponentially bigger. or they think I'm saying he is big because he died

an artists' work becomes more valuable when they die since they can't make any more of it, and scarcity creates value

KTT is just full of lots of low IQ people. it's a bit unfortunate

He was definitely bigger than Jesus during the peak of his career.

AVI potential

You know what I meant

Artists who were already successful don't get bigger after death unless they havent peaked. Mj peaked so no. Same thing with dmx. Nina simone didnt get bigger after she died bro. Literally apply this to any dead artist and the fact is they don't get bigger. Didnt aretha franklin die like 2 years ago?

It's just true

Usually it’s young people who get idolized

People who died right before they could fully show what they were gonna be

Aaliyah, pac, Kurt, Heath ledger

Mj lived out his peak years

People who weren't alive during MJ's peak trying to say how big he was

That's like me saying how big Mozart was or Beethoven

@KingOfPop come get this clown

You are legitimately the worst poster in this site bar none

So he didn't die after a pedo case that hurt his reputation a lot? My bad. Must have imagined it.

Even if he was innocent, the damage had been done.

Bigger and there discography selling for more are two different things

No of course.not

His run while he was alive was untouched, bro was a living legend by his mid 20s, his reach is till immense but people are starting to wain off his stuff gradually now

When the artist dies the family, or whoever controls the estate, no longer gives a s*** about artistic integrity and they cash out

I don’t blame em because for most of em it’s like what the hell are they gonna do with it

But like, Prince could’ve made a lot putting his s*** on stream but he never wanted it up there.

But that’s why the s*** sold for so much after their death. MJ and Prince could’ve gotten huge deals selling their s*** if they wanted to if they were still alive

death is different. i think people are forgetting how big MJ's death was and how that translated to sales

Google thought their search engine as under attack because that's how much MJ's death changed traffic

His record sales went crazy when he died. Amazon sold out of all Jackson and Jackson 5 CDs within minutes of the news breaking

MJ broke three chart records on the first Billboard issue date that followed his death

ok now people are just arguing semantics. he was "bigger" at his peak in the 80's (or 90's) when people fainted just looking at him, but his catalog and sales went crazy in death, which is normal

MJ washed

He was already huge, like huge and still the most popular artist probably

If anything I’m surprised he ain’t become some next level after he passed but I guess he was already at the highest you can get

No lol

He was god like for decades. He is the biggest dead artist tho, him and Pac

lol no

People only appreciate you when your gone.

I think MJ was the the biggest “celebrity” of all time

you had thousands fainting when he moved his finger a certain way
