Would have liked to hear him over Neptune’s production. We not gonna act like Invincible wasn’t hot still
Michael Jackson wasn’t impressed by the neptunes .. He wanted the super thug sound instead.....

Dunno wtf MJ was on back then those tracks were fire, and anyone listening to Justified knew it had heavy MJ influences, that shyt was literally made for MJ 
MJ went with Rodney Jerkins and that shyt sounded wildly outdated in 01

Yep
Which IS kind of crazy because MJ over those Justified beats is a fukking classic.
But just like we shouldn’t be expecting Nas to make Illmatic over and over again i’m sure MJ wasn’t trying to remake Thriller/Bad. He wanted a fresh sound.
I don’t know if “Superthug” was that sound for him though
Yeah, it makes sense because not every artist likes to go make the same album over and over again, and Mike seemed like the kind of guy that liked having certain sounds represent certain eras. Plus trying to make sequels/spiritual successors to albums that are so legendary must be extremely stressful because of the standard it's being held to.
To your point, imagine if Nas felt he had to make another Illmatic every time he dropped. Or Jay with Reasonable Doubt. That's probably why Dre never dropped Detox in the end and made Compton instead.

Unreleased track with Ice Cube.
If Mike had recorded “U Don’t Have To Call” just imagine.
“Don’t leave ya girl round me, true player for real, ask my nikka Pharrell.”

"What? What? What? What?.....I'm a Superstar....."
I can see MJ killing it off that first Kelis album, Kaleidoscope...."Get Along With You" would have been flames....

MJ on the Superthug beat would have been fire somehow.
Maybe he thought it was a rehash of what he had done before?The MJ influence is deeply embedded in the neptunes DNA
I had this shyt on REPEAT
used to annoy everyone in my dorm Dunno wtf MJ was on back then those tracks were fire, and anyone listening to Justified knew it had heavy MJ influences, that shyt was literally made for MJ

It is an inconvenient truth that the RJ produced songs like Invincible, Heartbreaker, etc. have NOT aged well.
artist after artist and many famous black people who were around Michael Jackson have all said he was a real nikka.
He told the same story on the Howard Stern show years ago.
MJ over those "Justified" beats...
Every time I hear this story, and start pairing Justified songs with MJ's voice and ad-libs...
And that's not a knock on JT at all. As is the album is already dope but breh...if MJ was on it ...
