6 Years Already? Where Were You When You Heard MJ Died?

[R.O. Double]

I was coming out of a funeral for my cuzzin Bamm Bamm (RIP), I got in the car with my brother and one of my other cuzzins. We was gonna head to the liquor store and get some blunts and something to drink.

On the way to our destination, my brother pointed out that the radio played like 4 Mike Jack songs back to back. My cuzzin who was in the back seat said, "They playing his shyt like that nikka died". As soon as she finished saying that, the DJ came on the radio talking bout "Rest In Peace Michael Jackson".

I grew up as a big MJ fan, but I couldn't care enough that day. Maybe if it was a couple of weeks earlier I would've cared more, but not on the day I had to bury someone I was raised with.


I still got love for Mike and will introduce my kids and grandkids to his music and videos becuz it was like watching someone not from this world when he was dancing and for me as a child, that was amazing.

My side bytch came in the room and started crying. .....


I was just like, "it's not like you knew the nikka and you're too young to even appreciate his shyt... quit being dramatic


Got home, and my girl was on the same shyt

Spoiler

Did yall know the great MJ was converting to Islam like his brothers and sisters Janet, and friends?... he talked about the elites and jews and all this other shyt, so he needed the protective force of black muslims who still accepted him as a black man..... but he was murked right around the time he was going to finally do it. I believe he wanted to be NOI.... because that's what is people were and because out of all the times he was in court and all the times he was being attacked, and all the jokes EVEN by other blacks...... the NOI were the only ones that had his back

At work. (when I worked at a gym)Some white guys who were close to my age came in to work out and was like 'hey did you hear? Michael Jackson died.' I was like stop lying. Then they were like no I turned to the news channel and it was there. I text my sister who was training for her job inDenver about it & she already had like 20 texts telling her the same. I was at the same place was when heard Amy Winehouse died.

I forgot about that.

I checked Sohh and nikkas was in denial becuz the story was going back and forth about he was and he wasn't. TMZ became more credible then CNN that day.
