Definitely top 5 M.J song. For some reason it feel like it’s underrated in his catalogue.

I need some of the Coli OGs to tell me the reaction when he first dropped this coming off Thriller album.

Was this the one yall was like “oh yeah he the goat”

Definitely when this dropped he was the GOAT. And the long movie type video was flames.... Then lean forward ..... Just simply amazing!! My personal fav MJ song and video.

For me personally, smooth criminal was always just ok.......I'd listen to it but not really seek it out....

That is UNTIL the guitar part starts at 2:48.......I don't know who idea was it to throw that in there but it changes the whole dynamic of the song in the best way possible...some legit prince level funk going on and turns it into a top 5 MJ cut. I legit wish that guitar was playing throughout the whole song.

A friend of mine had Moonwalker on a dodgy VHS and we watched the absolute shyt out of it until that tape was worn out, but we never found another copy. I bet she's still got it.

Bad and Smooth Criminal both shut shyt DOWN.
