No rewriting history idiot.
& Lord Jamar isn't the say all be all. That's just his personal opinion.
I know you didn't say all people idiot, but you did say large chunk which is why I said black people still rocked with him heavy.
Black people most definitely were still fans of mj heavy during thriller. Especially after Motown 25.
Thriller just crossed over more due to the music videos being on MTV & moonwalk craze.
You even got people like Jamie Foxx that was at one of the victory concerts & witnessed it.
It's pathetic how condescending you are & yet so clueless when it comes to the genre.
Don't worry about age be more concerned about your lack of insight.
