anyway, just wanna talk about how earth shattering mj's presence was in the 80's. that nikka was more impactful than reagan brehs. in an era of super celebrities like bill cosby, eddie murphy, oprah, whitney, madonna, prince, springsteen, stallone, schwarzenegger, tyson, jordan etc, mj was the biggest. that shyt was worldwide as well. and the same way the heavyweight champ of the world is the theoretically hardest man in the world, i felt like mjs status in pop culture made him the preeminent man in the world. perfect combination of vocals. songwriting, dancing, showmanship. imagine being a kid and seeing that shyt, nikka might as well have been a spaceship. Thriller is argualbly the greatest pop culture victory in history. think about that. every artist out here looking for recognition and respect, and this cat did that to the fullest. more than the beatles imho, and more than elvis. he made better music than them cats. i dont like elvis rock n roll ish, only his ballads as he got older. beatles make intellectual pop music, easy to respect hard to love. mj though, that shyt right to ya soul, you hear the music, see the otherworldly dancing and its like thats a once in a lifetime talent. 45 years after his arrival with the jacksons, name anyone in his wake even coming close?
how can eminems limited subject matter and appeals to resentful cacs compete with mj's world conquering humanity?
never uttered such
destroyed him
