That's the part of Mike that people don't give enough props to.
Joe Jackson was a real nikka from Chicago.He knew how the music business worked because he was a musician himself.He schooled Mike on the history of black musicians and how they got shytted on by the industry.He knew how much was stolen from artist like Little Richard and Muddy Waters.
Mike came at them snakes like a wolf in sheep's clothing.Peter Pan on the surface, but searing with revenge beneath the surface, on some Shaka Zulu shyt.
He pissed off them powers when he one upped Paul Mccartney and took control of the Beatles Catalog.
Called up Little Richard and just gave him back his catalog(valued at 4 million dollars).....NO CHARGE...on strictly some respect for the pioneers shyt..Lil Richard had to be
, but also
to see lil ol demure Mike stomping on giants like that.Mike looking
on the surface, internally scowling at the industry
.
Unlike Jay, he really was paying them back for what they did to the Cold Crush.
That's when the shadow side of the industry went into
mode on Mike.Plotted on ways to destroy his image.
"So they say he loves children, huh?
"
In terms enormity of enemies, Mike was going against some Juggernauts.Ain't no rap nikkaz seeing them kind of biblical creatures Mike had on his back.They'd be paralyzed by fear.Only rapper that came close to having that kind of heart was Pac.
