People don't understand just how Gangsta MJ was and how much knowledge he inherited from his father. Yes his father was an a$$hole who beat the shyt out of his kids and manipulated them, but he was also a hustler who took NINE kids from the Ghetto of Gary Indiana and made them celebrities. Barry Gordy gets more credit than he deserves for the Jackson 5's success, they were already polished PROFESSIONALS when Barry first viewed that audition tape.
Joe made shrewd business moves, it was JOE who got the Jacksons their variety tv show, it was JOE who negotiated a better deal with CBS (allowing the Jacksons publishing and producing points) and it was JOE who was the original mastermind behind the Victory tour
Michael took everything Joe did, mixed it with a little Barry Gordy, and took them Cacs to the CLEANERS. MJ used that soft voice shyt to fool people into thinking he was soft but he made some of the smartest business decisions ever seen in the industry.
