I don’t even believe this is true like that. MJ developed a lot of his shyt himself. Has personal manifestos. Etc etc. MJ was just a student of the game. He watched and learn and practiced as hard as he could to create something unique. Plenty of artists had tool boxes MJ had but didn’t take it to where MJ took it. It’s just a bunch of shoulda coulda woulda. Tevin Campbell had Quincy. We see how that turned out. And he blows Chris out the water as far as vocals. There will never be another MJ. Jordan or Jackson. Lol.
mj was maniacally driven that's true
but being a student with direct personal access to all the source material is different
jackson jordan similar recipe great talent great drive great guidance/mentorship/coaching
comparing artist that come from far inferior circumstances & developmental backgrounds makes no sense
like i said the awe folks may have concerning bhris is how a little nikka come from nowhere ass tappahannock.va with all that already going¿
it's like bron..........how a little nikka from akron come straight out the grassroots no great mentor to lace him up & just know what to do¿
just look at the absence of contemporaries when it comes to bhris..........there are no more structured systems of development whatever these artists are now they really come to the business as is get put out on the market as is
mj was getting his studiocraft & stagecraft directly from the all time greats
cb is damn near defined by the song title no guidance aHA
