futher research. This is actually the song quincy is talking about



which came out before billie jean

:mindblown:
this sounds nothing like billie jean. I don't even think quincy was even referring to a song at all. Part of billie jeans appeal when it came out in 1982
Was that it sounded nothing like what was on radio at the time

Influence on "Billie Jean"[edit]
According to Daryl Hall, during the recording of “We Are the World”, Michael Jackson approached him and admitted to lifting the bass line for "Billie Jean" from a Hall and Oates song, apparently referring to "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)." Hall says that he told Jackson that he had lifted the bass line from another song himself, and that it was "something we all do."

The whole structure of the song is VERY similar to billie jeans

Not saying Rashida isn't pretty but according to LSA they say she didn't associate with black people like Kadida (sp?) the one who dated Tupac. But still I think Kadida looks better :yeshrug:
