A few months ago this band called the Justice said MJ was their favorite artist. Before that I only thought of MJ as a kind of guy that I did not want to be around as a kid or let other kids be around. I am a product of my environment and that’s just what I was told. I was also told Pepsi lit him on fire. And something about ‘jesus juice’.
So I started listening to MJ and his band the Jackson 5. Don’t get me wrong I’ve heard it my whole life but this time I ‘really listened’ to it (via. weed/repeated listenings) and it is pretty awesome. P.Y.T. is the shit. The moment he died I realized how much his career outweighed his eccentricity (via molestation) and I really hope that when I die my body of work will take precedent over the bad things I did.
Think if I get famous/make better music I can do worse things.
Then I saw this video.
I didn’t know MJ was so political. Maybe he was like M.I.A. b4 mia
This song was apparently simultaneously about Iran and the disproportionate rates of African American in incarceration.
Do not think stripping/fondling oneself in a prison cafeteria is the best personal brand but I am surprised Neptunes were producing bangers when MJ ‘got edgy’ and ‘settled that first lawsuit in the early 90′s.’
Obligatory Michael Jackson Post
