lets be real if michael jackson had to debut in 2009 he wouldnt be nearly as famous as he was and if drake debuted in 1979 he'd probably be way more famous lol its a very dumb thing to argue

Apr 23·1 replyDr Lee PhDYou will be able to say the same plus some about the three you named in 30 years, that’s just how time works
But MJs presence at his peak was unlike anything we’ve seen and we haven’t seen it since
If MJ put ice in the street with a release date, a million ppl would’ve showed up at once
I’ve seen everyone involved live, including MJ, it’s not a comparison
It’s not those artists fault, celebrity culture is extremely different and fame is split into more directions than ever
So you acknowledging that the reason MJ is the biggest artist ever has to do with him being active during a peak of celebrity culture

Yes, because that was in the 1980s, and nowadays thousands of subcultures have formed, and everyone lives according to their own algorithm.

mj sucks. “global appeal” just means he was the only option in a pre-internet era—monopoly, not dominance. drop him today and he’s fighting for playlist spots like everyone else.

How do you come to that conclusion?
Who even knows where black music would be in America if Michael Jackson didn't exist in the 1980s.
And if Drake debuted in 1979 he would have been forgotten to time because rap was in its infancy stages and the guy can't sing

He’s not a teen, I’m just showing that MJ has proven to be more timeless than everyone mentioned and until they do the same, it’s ignorant to put them in the same category

We get it, the thing everyone says: there was nothing like MJs fame at his peak. But I’m not using that to decide who the goat musicians are

Drake's thing wasnt that he rapped, it was that he adapted, whatever was most popular at the time, he would do it in his own way.

Drake stans have truly lost it if they're now arguing that MJ was only popular because he was the "only option" back then
