HIStory MJ was taking no shorts. With 30 shots he didn't even have to aim, he just waved that bish in your direction, mayne as he'd cooked up a totally non commercial, raw album that was packed with social commentary and TDCAU was its crowning moment. Just peep the lyrics and see him ethering the prison industrial complex by speaking facts.

Sure lots of stars pretend to be woke for the likes and clout but MJ - a cat who was pushing planetary alignments and shifts in consciousness in 88 when others were still concerned with moving weight and poisoning their own community - really was with that shiz because he resonated on such a different frequency to the rest of the world which is what made him a legend.

When it came time to go to Brazil they needed to get permission from the dope boys to film in the Favellas and when they heard MJ was coming to town it was like the return of the king, his hood pass is international.

And thats before we get into these heatrocks:

Check the lyrics and you'll see how MJ was coming for their neck. And just in case you think that was a one time thing he revisited a similar theme a few years later that most slept on:

:salute: to the once and future King who stood up the system that tried to kill him and just made him immortal.

Micheal took everything James Brown, Diana Ross, and Sammy Davis Jr. were doing before him and made it mainstream and trendy.

He was very fortunate to meet Quincy Jones when he did as well that had a vision for his sound and style.

Quincy doesn't get talked about nowhere near enough as being an essential part of Mike's early solo success.

He doesn't? I think everybody with a respectable music knowledge know Q's role in Mike's success...

And Mike did pull from all of those influences but he took those elements, added his own uniqueness to it, and took the game to a higher level than any of them could have. Let's not pretend Mike had to be manufactured, he had an "it" factor that was all his own that no one before him had..
