Nasty work the media has done over the years to vilify Michael as much as possible.
And they've done some damage too. But at the end of the day, hes just too iconic and the majority of people are able to overlook the allegations because the music is just that amazing. Imagine not listening to Rock With You because some weirdos wrote and spoke a*** fanfiction on HBO? Almost nobody is doing that fr even if they aren't in favor of MJ.
It’s weird how much they try to tear him down. Maybe bc he’s the most successful black man of all time and owned his music? Idk but the obsession with him even after his death is gross
You think I’m mature? 
But nah fr this was a good convo manageable bc it’s only me you camille and occasionally earlyman
Them taking the R Kelly song off that Gaga album was stupid tho. Everyone already knew who R Kelly was for years that retroactive activism is just lame
Facts. If some of the other users were around it would've been reduced to s*** flinging and memes. Which is funny but not good for conversation.
Gaga just felt guilty about having such a sexually provocative song with him knowing damn well what hes done and choosing to ignore it. Removing the song didnt really do anything in general but it eased her consciousness. Its like when Family Guy got a black voice actor to voice Cleveland after the BLM protests. Like it didnt do anything to help in the grad scheme of things aside from make Seth feel better about contributing something to the movement.

media goes after everyone at the very top, they tried to do it with the beatles but then john was assassinated and everyone stopped

It’s hard to tell if this ability to make everyone aware of everything will ultimately change anything. We can’t all care about every single issue which ultimately leads to apathy at which point what was the point of any of it

couple retweets, a small dopamine hit and somebody feeling like they're fighting the good fight

He's the most famous man of all time aside from Jesus.
The higher ups were terrified of the power he had with The beatles catalog and what he could've done for the black community with that power and dedicated the rest of Michaels life to tearing him down.
Alot of people forget MJ wasn't always a villain in the media. He was a media and critic darling during the OTW era and Thriller era. It wasn't until he became the biggest artist in the world and bought The Beatles catalog that they decided he was too powerful. Thats when all the tabloid junk started during the Bad era.

Idk maybe I found it extra annoying bc I actually liked the song. And again she knew full well in the first place, everyone’s known for years it was a joke in the black community until it wasn’t. All it took was one tv special. I can definitely read it the way you are but in a sense it was also performative
Bro I was actually at a party with this Nigga in Florida in January 2015.
Anyway,

I don’t see Abel getting this kinda attention tbh. Taylor gets mad scrutiny but overall I feel like her press is super positive. Only one kinda close is Drake and that’s more bc people are tired of him at the top they have to find s*** to say/ hate on

Which is so dangerous for actual political movements. We’re all sedated so easily.
They haven't done it with Taylor
You see it

Abel isnt MJ big though. The only artist alive today that even comes somewhat in the realm of popularity and power MJ had is Taylor Swift and even she isnt touching him.
Bro my list is looking f***ing disgusting 
I know yours is too @earlymann
They haven't done it with Taylor
she got s*** on during 2014-2016 badly for being a w****, setting impossible standards for young girls and for beefing with other females
they only mellowed out on her in the last few years because her PR team has put in work and turned her back into being a relatable quirky millennial
the rerecording PR stunts have been insane to see

I mean Idk if it’s stupid to ask but what could he have done with it. Like just the money he would have had from it you mean?

everyone forgets how kim almost had her kill yourself during the TLOP era with the snapchat video
He has lost against Mariah, MJ and MGK
It seems people that cant rap are his weakness
Mariah can rap, though…
