why did Michael treat his family like that?:mjpls:


he's a great artist but Michael did a lot of extreme towards his family
just to black people in general
and we never talk about it

His family should be thanking him. They wouldn't have went far without him.

Took his brothers on tour during the height of his solo career when he didn't have to.

Janet was basically the spin off version of Michael. She should thank him for giving her a template to run with.

I can understand why Michael distant himself. His family are money hungry heathens.

Even after death, they did him dirty by giving sony back some of the publishing knowing he didn't like them.

I will say this all those years of Prince being so tough to keep pirating and streaming of his music at a minimum is going to pay off now because people are going to run to buy his music now.


I got Spotify and they have none of his classics
:francis:

Yeah, but how long will that last? WB will have his catalog on streaming services by YE.

Do cacs pit Springsteen against Dylan? I know there's a Beatles/Stones rivalry among fans but in general I don't think they would be as quick as we are to pick sides.

MJ and Prince both made power moves against the establishment yet we're trying to fight each other on who went the hardest. I'll be the first to admit I'm guilty of that shyt too, it's in my blood I guess I'll always pick Mike in this case knowing I should celebrate both.

Fukk is wrong with us brehs :to:

MJ was COLD as fukk for that. Dude came up and swagged out and called Peince up there KNOWING he was zooted:mjlol:

Only thing i wish is that the video would have shown Mike's reaction when Prince fell on his ass.

Yall need to stop generalizing the entire Jackson family. Especially when Janet and Rebbie were the last i would say would use his name.

Especially since he was closest to Janet sonce he was a kid and she has her own career. Yall just spout off at the mouth sometimes

Even when her first 2 albums flopped in the early 80s she was not using his name constantlu to get ahead. He loved ber the most for a reason. And Rebbie and Marlon always stayed lowkey.

Honesty i would only say Latoya, Joe jackson and jermaine would be the 3 i would say are money hungry. Latoya in particular with that reality show she had recently.

She is a Jackson who benefited off of being Michael`s sister. This is a fact. Nobody's saying she isn't talented, but let's not act like her being the sister of Michael Jackson didn't play a part. He definitely had an influence on her music career.:dame:

His brothers are greedy. They were looking for money so Michael Jackson took them on tour because his momma told him to.

They all ate off of him. Some were greedy and some weren't, but they all benefited from him.

It's understandable if he didn't want to be bothered by his family given their history of greed throughout the years. :francis:

I didnt say Janet didnt benefit at Michael at all. But she benefited more from Prince's production team of jimmy jam and terry lewis.

Thriller came out in november 82 months after janet's first album...can you explain to me why its sales didnt help her and she still continued to flop?

She then came out again with another album and it again flopped...

Stop with the revisionist history breh. Janet benefited more from Prince production team.

Did being Mike's older brother stop Jermaine from releasing still to this day one of the worst selling albums in history? Ask rebbie how her 2 albums went in the height of mike's fame.

Man nikkas nowadays cant just say IM WRONG

Dream Street is the second studio album by American recording artist Janet Jackson, released on October 23, 1984, by A&M Records. More pop than her debut album's "bubblegumsoul" feel, the album wasn't the runaway success that Janet's father Josephthought it would be, peaking at number one hundred forty-seven on the Billboard 200 in 1984.

Man im tired of these coli nikkas man :smh: :smh: get me so heated. The difference between Janet is unlike her siblings she worked harder and didnt give up.

Yeah she struck lucky with having excellent producers affiliated with prince but she also stayed in her own lane.

Became an independent person not dikkriding Mike. Noticed they only worked with each other twice and it was him asking her(PYT and Scream)

Janet is known for sing and especially dancing. That's her biggest legacy. That was influenced by mj. Before she got some success with jimmy jam and Terry Lewis and really made a name for herself she was recognized as micheal`s little sister. That's where she benefited from in the beginning.

Mj was already huge as the lead singer for the Jackson 5 and already had a successful album with off the wall that won him a grammy. I'm not sure why you're bringing up thriller when mike was famous and successful well before that.

None of this is revisionist history breh.

I brought up thriller the first time around because he was at the height of his career and went out of way to take his brothers on tour with him. That's the only relation I made when it came to anything about thriller.

I never said anything about michael`s thriller album success helping his siblings sell albums, but keep reaching.

I'm not wrong. You're just tryna misconstrued what I said.

MJ has written some his OWN biggest hits

Shake Your Body (Down to the ground)-Co-written with brother Randy
Don't Stop Till You Get Enough
Working Day And Night
Beat It
Billie Jean
Wanna Be Startin Something
Bad
The Way You Make Me Feel
Speed Demon
Another Part Of Me
Dirty Diana
Leave Me Alone
Black Or White
Jam


Hell he wrote most of the Bad album. Which is one of only two albums in history to have FIVE singles chart at number 1 (4 of which were written by Jackson)

He co-produced or produced much of his work as well, including having a big feud with Jones over not getting production credit for Billie Jean. Jackson almost vowed to not ever again work with Quincy again he felt so strongly about that.


So let's not even slight MJ like he was drake or somebody, MJ's pen game and ear for music was immaculate. That boy was a musical genius since he was 11 years old.
word. michael recorded Ben in one take nikkas

singing about a damn rodent no less



and he made his songs by beatboxing em first on some timbaland shyt.
