    I think what I’ve gained the most the details. My house was huge on MJ and as a kid it’s just straight bops but the instrumentation the songwriting I’m discovering it’s just

    Delve into “The Jacksons” era material tons of gems there

    that co-sign tho 💐🔥

    that era of large-scale a***og-pop production had people like David Foster, Quincy Jones, and Mutt Lange treating arrangements like architecture. You can hear every layer being placed deliberately.

    HIStory sounds so crispy. I'm not one for listening to intrumentals; however i will make an exception for this project.

    Pretty wild it was worked on in 1988, and nearly made Dangerous, before being finished in 1994/5 for HIStory

    Special song

  • Only artist I've ever seen bring together so many people from different cultures, races, religions etc together in mutual appreciation of his performances and music. He could sing and dance like no other because he flowed like a physical conduit of spiritual energy.

    MJ got fans who ain't even born yet. Dude was fhe hero we didn't deserve fr.

    There is nothing binding (other than both are black and he was considered to be featured on Bad) between the two worlds to compare Prince to MJ. I realize with maturity it's an amateur discussion and pretty pointless outside of maybe shooting the s*** at a bar to pass the time with folks who are casual music consumers.

    David Bowie is a better comparison to Prince for me.

    bowie dont got nothing on prince im not gonna lie

    he never had a unified vision of princes caliber and was always a chameleon and og trend chaser

    bowie to me is the prime example of amazing music made by a completely unlikable doofus

    was it from KOP that i found this old ass audiophile forum where one of the assistant producers for dangerous was telling stories about recording mj

    the one where he said mj bought every possible synth or guitar of some kind to find the precise sound they were looking for

    As we discussed a while ago I knew he loved Astaire, Gene Kelly etc but this blew my mind. Didn't realize Fosse was such a g.

    MJ knew and studied all the greats and always told people of his inspirations

    Student of the game in every sense of the word

  • I’ve always considered MJ and Prince equals but I don’t really compare the two. Two different branches of the same tree.

    An absolute masterpiece, from start to finish. No one else could make that song.

    I know it sent Prince wild when it came out too. He brought his entire team into his office to play it, proclaiming how truly genius the song + MJ were.

    Didnt mj send it to prince before it got released? And they said damn unc still got it

  • the movie made me appreciate michael's music more.

    Absolute GOAT artist ever across all genres

    they dont care about us is one of those messages that you can read endless tons of all sorts of communist economic and other literature on and it can really be summed up with one simple phrase

    same as rich get richer poor get poorer its hard to even begin to describe how profoundly it captures things
