Jon B says that Chris Brown is more talented than Michael Jackson

People will say anything nowadays to go viral.

Literally every album ever is a collaborative effort. Again who's album is it, not hard, y'all just know teen Mike was a mid solo artist compared to teen CB lol

So, why did you say "collaborative effort" like it meant something? I have no idea what you're trying to say in this thread other than your wife and your wife's friends think Chris Brown's first album is a classic.

You keep talking about "teen CB" like Chris Brown was a force of nature when he was younger. What counts as teen CB to you, his first two or three albums? His albums have never been in any conversation, they get no praise or acclaim. And that's not to say he made bad music because I grew up on his music, but he wasn't making Confessions-level projects when he was a teenager. By the time Michael was 21, he had already written multiple classic songs for the Jackson 5. He was the main songwriter. And Off the Wall came out before he turned 21, so if we include that, it blows teen CB out the water.

1. The age game don't work, most CB fans are pushing 40. All age shows me is that you just aren't aware of CB's wave because it happened after your time. I knew about the Jackson 5 years before CB came out and got to witness in real time CB putting everyone's high school and jr high in a chokehold. You were too old to understand CB's impact. And you got the same retrospective understanding of Mike's impact that I did. At least I saw in real time CB's impact, you saw neither and are an outside commentator for both too over the hill to properly process what happened during CB's time.

2. Bro you should check the sales on that greatest hit you linked, it peaked at #44 on the r&b charts. That shyt did not sell, you were in one of the 4,000 households that had that album. Good for you. If we're going off hits alone teen Chris Brown had more than double the top 10 hits Mike had, and this doesn't include cuts like Gimme That, I Wanna Be, Ya Man Ain't Me, Damage, Is This Love, Take You Down, etc, etc, classic tracks that you clearly know nothing about, because you were too old to see them hit so you don't know what you're talking about. So like chill with the disqualifying shyt because you clearly have no idea just how big teen CB was.

1. Wrong again. Not one time in this back and forth did I downplay CB like you've been downplaying MJs solo teen classics because I was right there when CB took off. I remember when Scarface was going hard to say CB was the next MJ before his first album dropped. LOL @ me being "too old to understand." I was 26 in 2005. I fux with Chris. You don't know what you are talking about, I have every album CB ever dropped if not physical, locked in to my Spotify library. Before he started cursing his music was perfect for playing around the kids. I'm the one who said on this very website "Heartbreak On A Full Moon" was dope but it was being slept on when it dropped.


2. LOL @ you bringing up album sales. Hey my guy, Marvin Gayes "Whats Going On" only went Gold according to Billboard. I repeat Marvin Gayes "Whats Going On" only went Gold. And it only peaked at #54 on Billboard(Less then that MJ best of). Chris Browns first album went double platinum and was #2 Billboard at it's peak. Next you'll be saying Chris Browns first album is more impactful than "What's Going On" because it sold more according to Billboard.



Dude. I was there for both the resurgence of Jackson5/teen MJ in the 80's and I was there when CB took off in the mid 2000's. I saw both unlike you. I can acknowledge the sentimental greatness of both "Ben" by teen MJ and "With You" by CB without having to downplay either one.


I can tell you were either born in the mid 90's or late 90's maybe early 2000's. When were you born? I'm positive it was mid 90's or later. You sound like it. I'd put money on it. Since you aren't objective like I am, answer.....What year were you born because you don't sound qualified in age to have a voice in this convo being that you aren't objective at all.

JON B PROMOTING HIS NEW MUSIC

 

[etrofllenrod504]

I absolutely HATE goofies who keep trying to push this narrative. This isn’t fair to CB because now people who know the real are going dismiss CB due to being placed next or above MJ by people who really should be shamed doing such a thing.
CB for the most of his career has been in hip hop/RnB culture and that’s his world and damn good in it. Chris abilities, music, look, sound, etc is all connected to that.

MJ musically was EVERYWHERE he experimented with his sound worked with legendary artist, producers, choreographers, etc. Which allowed him to cross all cultures and genres. What MJ was doing in his time, he was solo no other competition or knock offs. Absolutely one of one.

Someone like Jon B should be kicked in the ass for even saying this. CB is great but, MJ great?? Naaa because the most important component of this comparison is the music before anything. CB just not there in regard to that(next to MJ). He has absolutely NOTHING in his catalog that can run with something like “Rock wit You”. That’s why MJ alone here cause even that song my 9yr old daughter knows it word for word and when was that released????

 

[NormanConnors]

Nah it was brehs in here saying young Mike clears young CB.

Okay, the Quincy Jones albums are off the table, now let's look at teen Mike's albums vs teen CB's.


It's a blowout. Not even close. Nobody cares about them teen Mike albums like that. Idk how much of those J5 albums were Mike and not the Jacksons as a collective. I do know CB had the vocal talent to be the frontman for that group and there's a gap in quality between the J5 albums and teen Mike's solo work.

 

[TMBlue]

Let's say MJ was mid as a teen and CB was better. We can also admit that MJ reach GOD TIER status we he had creative control over his own music. Sounds like he was being held back.

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

I still can't believe breh came in here and acted like young Mike didn't have any classics

 

[TMBlue]

We gonna act like MJ didn't have his own Shoe? his own Disney World Attraction? his own video game?
