There about even breh. Both are great singers but neither are top of the class Face has the one up on Kellz though because he never tried to sound like @Another Man
I don't think that's entirely true.
If you went up to folks on the street, there wouldn't be an overwhelming opinion that Quincy wrote all his songs and made him because it would rarely be brought up. Most people, in general, would talk about how he's the greatest/famous Pop icon ever and reference the impact his music had on their lives. And anybody that researched his career and/or were invested in what went on behind the scenes, they wouldn't be saying that either.
I feel like you're only talking about 0.000000000000001% of people that would say Quincy made him.

The only people who underrate MJ are Prince stans or people who aren't familiar with his discography like that. Everybody else knows his greatness and acknowledges it every day.
But I see what OP's saying. His later work is definitely underrated. Off the Wall, Thriller, and Bad will always get credit, but how many people think HIStory is Michael's best album? I would definitely entertain an argument about that because the album is fantastic.
Or a song like "One More Chance." I don't think people even remember it, but it's another great one. The last song that Michael released during his lifetime.
And XScape is literally just songs that Michael threw out, but that album was one of the best that came out in 2014. It let me know that if MJ was still alive and releasing music, he would still be ahead of other artists.

Facts. Had so much, he found OTHER people to make and release it, giving them careers.

It’s largely due to a more modern audience applying the modern duties of a producer, or what we think of as a producer in the hip hop senseif he made Michael.. make another one..
to Quincy. Nikkas think Quincy was in the studio crafting “beats” and giving them to mj on some Dre/Kanye shyt
ILLMMORTAL
THE ILLEST
How and Why in the world could MJ be underrated….We’re talking about possibly the greatest entertainer of all time! Do you know what this cat has accomplished in music! You nikkaz are like Sun magazine or the fukking Enquirer or the shyt azz paparazzi! Stop making up shyt! This mans legacy is not only cemented in black music and black culture but in music and world culture as a whole…… Stop with the foolishness! Underrated…..hah, like a pigs azz! You nikkaz iz something else!

Quincy is an integral part in what gave us the Michael that is loved and revered. To downplay that is ridiculous. He didn't make Michael Jackson, but he helped to take that greatness and mold it into some otherworldly levels that no one had had ever witnessed in music. I'm sure MJ brought out the best in Quincy as well. We also have to remember there was a Quincy Jones, who was already an icon in his right, before there was a Michael Jackson.
Stop acting like this man wasn't getting disrespected till his death.
