Michael Jackson is honestly underrated

[Take It In Blood]

Mike survived being canceled twice in his lifetime and once after death

The nikkas Ghost was catching Ws

Teflon don

That title belongs to R Kelly sir
Greatest musician of my lifetime
Never got that worldwide love/acceptance

But dumbass decision maker
Dude needed a life coach on the payroll like we need air


He will never get his just due. Especially now

Nah. He was a great singer and songwriter. There's musicians out there way better than Kellz

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

shyt he has 4 songs on the rotation right now here in Seattle.

For a minute they tried to cheapen his legacy but GOD prevailed....MICHAEL jackson is innocent and it have been proven in a court of law.


He was anointed by God..as Farrakhan said...Mike couldn't have influenced and inspired so many people.of all races and colors ..how could he not A righteous person touched by God.

Are they imaginary/nameless?

Just tell me you don't know what a complete package looks like .

*producer
*A&R
*vocal coach
*engineer
*plays live instruments

Dude was literally Walmart...one stop shop

This is not even debatable guy

Nas wins with talent n consistency/steadiness

But there has never been a Nas era .

And some will still use that to knock him.
Compared to his peers in the upper tier, the monster selling album and the radio hits are not there.


Don't use a HIP HOP board to gauge if Nas gets his just due


MAGIC would be getting even more acclaim/heralded if it sold more. Had some radio support. But he hasn't had that since Godson=I Can

Prince, Babyface plus dozens of others. But back to Kellz other than producer, none of those attributes you named is something he was great at.

 

[Menna]

Mike started in the 60's and ended with a hit in the 2000's he was putting out heat for nearly 40 years and in 2009 died while preparing for a World Tour... He was looking at everyone else like....

You make it seem like there's so many vying for that title

Babyface is not the singer R Kelly is. So he's losing already

Prince did not work with other talents like Robert. Prince did Prince.
And had a whole team behind him

 

[Tribal Outkast]

I don’t agree with the thread title but I see what you did. Mike’s “fall off” period shyts on a lot of peoples careers. Stranger in Moscow is one of my favorite songs he ever dropped and that happened not too long ago. That song is so amazing to me.

 

[Bondye Vodou]

"The King of Pop".

Cool story, breh.

 

[IllmaticDelta]

He as a total package isn't underrated but his musicianship/song crafting/vocals are to some degree because he's not an instrumentalist like Prince or Stevie Wonder.

 

[Beat Street]

In a songwriter/composer way, I agree. The general public doesn’t know how many songs Michael wrote and produced.
