Spike Lee's Bad 25 Documentary Tonight (MJ most under-rated Classic)....
- Thread starter Rapmastermind
- Start date
Whitney's first album sold 25 million worldwide
Her second album sold 25 million worldwide
Bad sold 45 Million Worldwide
Your math is off, breh.
I'm talking domestically bruh. I thought it was obvious, but I guess not!
Well. I'm going by Worldwide Sales.
I'ts a damn shame that people don't see the bigger picture!!!!
Well if you look at my original quote, I quoted someone who posted Whitney's domestic sales and I piggybacked off that. I'm not over here trying to compare MJ to Whitney. Whitney was a great artist, but MJ is the GOAT. The whole reason I even made the statement that I did is because someone didn't understand how Whitney sold so many records, and I basically wanted to show them that she was kind of a big deal.
I have no qualms about that at all. They were both top artists back in the day.
I still think that Quincy should have worked on Whitney's first two albums to give her that edge in the R&B community instead of Clive making her work with all of those Pop producers(Michael Masser, Jellybean Benitez) and then have the two token R&B producers in Kashif and Narada Michael Walden preserve her credibility on black radio.

that's not Nixon u retard, that's Ed Sullivan
LOL. I just clicked "MJ and Presidents" and a blog had that up there. I could see how they thought it was Nixon though from the side shot but you right that's Ed Sullivan. Regardless, MJ had world leaders from the U.S. to around the world in the palm of his hands. There will probably never be an entertainer that had that much power. Also for the whole Whitney in 87 Debate. Yes the "Whitney Houston" album moved big units domestically but even then she still wasn't bigger than MJJ in that era. But the fact is yes Whitney was a Big deal. Like I said as far as sales and pop culture for Black America. It was MJJ, Prince, Whitney and Janet in the 1980's.

Yep, both of those are Classics and "All for you" was near classic so like MJ, Janet can also say she dropped 4 Classics in a row. Whitney dropped 4 in a row too if you include Bodyguard. Prince Dropped several Classics in the 80's also. Sadly what hurt Janet most was the Super Bowl ish. It shouldn't of hurt her but it did and when Justin left her hanging it really hurt her even more.

She had a few tracks after that but her music just wasn't the same after the Super Bowl drama. I'm still rooting for Janet to come back and drop some fire but I think she really hates the industry after the Super Bowl ish. What's funny is most fans considered that one of the greatest Super Bowl Halftimes ever, lol. Every Super Bowl Half Time, check twitter, they are still talking about Janet and Justin. During that time it was the most searched thing in Internet History. Speaking of Super Bowl. MJJ still had the GOAT half time:

I felt bad for the players that Super Bowl...Even if they were winning or losing...they had to hear from the locker room MJ performing his ass off on the field...
