Drake’s biggest feat was selling out MSG 4 nights in a row

I don’t think that’s a stadium though

what

KTT2 can’t be right......they said Michael Jackson is bigger than Drake....KTT2 we got work to do...

at best you could say that the treatment of darker skinned ppl was finally beginning to become better... but nah man it’s too far to say that racism “ended” just because one band played to a huge audience. MJ still had loads of trouble getting his s*** the play and traction on MTV that it rightfully deserved, same with prince and a lot of the black performers who paved the way for the future throughout the 80s

False

MTV & various entertainment platforms never played black artists until the success of Billie Jean

Labels wouldn’t fund music videos for black artists because they got 0 airplay from white orientated stations

He has a point

He was definitely up there

Didnt they name some military base or something after him?

B...bu....but drake has hits on the billboard chart!!

Put down the pipe, man.

Ban

Beatles and MJ are pretty equal Id say

Beatles peaked a decade or so earlier as well and the world wasnt as globalised imo

No he really doesn’t

MJ did stadiums in Tokyo, Japan

People in Japan were listening to Jackson 5 Era Michael songs, most of them didn’t even understand English

Nah there was a gap between them

We’re talking about an artist than transcended all social barriers on the planet

@Bow_And_Arrow The Beatles were big with a predominantly white audience. They get overhyped but the level of acclaim, fame, and adoration people had for Michael was beyond anything the Beatles could ever attempt to muster.

The Beatles also had the benefit of being one of the first boy bands of the time and all this s*** was new to young people so when they were excited, they were excited, because they may have only heard them on the radio and not TV, but when Michael was out, he was visible and people still acted insane on seeing him in person.

MJ is the biggest ever.

Racism ended before MJ? Even after him, they tried to pin black acts in a certain category.

Prince had to tell them "dont make me a black artist"

Elvis has over 20 albums and 107 posthumous compilation albums

The Beatles have over 20 albums & over 53 compilations etc

Michael has 10 album, 2 posthumous releases & 30 compilations

Michael sold almost just as much with half as less music

Sit this one out

Exactly the Beatles had the white machine behind them

In the 1960s, critics, radio stations, journalists & labels were all owned by white people

Good point actually

Whoever think Drake is MJ status is smoking crack. And we don’t care about what crackheads think.

Shut up young man

Don’t forget The Beatles had critics, journalists, labels & publications which were all predominantly white

White people were 70% of the population in the US and Europe at the time too

u right
