106 & Park announcing Michael Jackson's death

[Elim Garak]

Do you remember where you were that day when you heard?

 

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

My boy called me when I was getting off work on campus. I swear after I got off the phone with him I saw black folks standing outside just looking up lost like…wtf

 

[Ridge Forrester]

We had just come home from my high school graduation when we saw the news.

I was In bootcamp..getting our uniforms back from laundry handed out.

Was downstairs with my sister watching the CNN feed of him being hospitalized.

MTV Jams had the R.I.P. banner when they played his videos Damn near every music channel ran a marathon of his discography.

Doubt we'll ever see another celebrity death have that big of an effect on the world in our lifetime.

I was sleeping my brother woke me up and told me. Was surreal. Remember sitting up all night watching the news.

 

[RickyDiBiase]

this was the 9/11 of music

I remember I was at my homie crib and we was playing Madden, I was busting ass with the Sissynatti Bengals when his grandmama called him up and she was crying so hard I’m thinking someone she knew personally died, getting my homie worked up as well and then she told him MJ passed and he almost cussed her out. We didn’t even feel like playing anymore. Just sat there for a good couple minutes, went to the liquor store and posted outside with a few people

I was a restaurant manager back then and I was on closing shift. We had the radio on in the back when they announced it. It was hard for all of us to work after that. Every customer who came in looked sad af. When I got home the video channels were running MJ marathons. I made a drink and put something in the air and just zoned out in front of the tv all nite. shyt felt surreal

Woke up from a nap with a missed call from my mom, two missed calls from one of my sisters, and a text message from my sister’s BD that read:

“Yo Kobe Died”

 

[Kingshango]

Only a few people caused the world to come to a screeching halt and MJ’s death was one of them.

Only a few people caused the world to come to a screeching halt and MJ’s death was one of them.

He basically invented Twitter

 

[WaveWhisperer]

Came upstairs to my mom watchin cnn and she started shedding tears

 

[Doobie Doo]

Kobe's death was bigger even though MJ was the bigger star.
