They see me trolling, they hating.....
Wouldn't expect anything less from a house nikka like MJ :smugfavre:


its dead now tho :ehh: ....but in 1987 it certainly wasn't


Did he really never personally tell you he was moving on?

QJ: He didn’t, no. It’s O.K., man. It’s not like I’m gonna roll over and die. He told his manager that I was losing it, that I didn’t understand the business because I didn’t understand in 1987 that rap was dead. Rap wasn’t dead. Rap hadn’t even started yet.

:lolbron: @ This tho


Do you know about that conspiracy theory that says you ordered the hit on
Tupac?

QJ: I know. The people who say I wanted to have sex with him. Man, this is the biggest age of haters I have ever seen in my life. I’ve been called a blonde-lover, a pedophile, gay, everything. I don’t care, man. Imagine my daughter being engaged to Tupac and me trying to make love to him? And I’m not into no men, man. I’m a hard-core lesbian. Are you kidding? All my life, all my life.

Hip-Hop rappers said MJ is a real n!gga and not to mention MJ loves Biggie Small. I remember the story about how MJ thinks Biggie Small is a biggest star to him. I remember the story about Tupac made MJ and his family got mad at Tupac cause Tupac just said some real shyt to pissed them off.

Huge MJ stan, but him and his big love for Big, LL, and Jay and no word on the more underappreciated emcees makes me wonder if he was going "Lebron style" of only being into the mainstream and just trying to be down.

I don't wanna believe it with a guy with such vast musical knowledge as him, but i have yet to hear word on him liking someone like Guru or Rakim

Mike was a tom

the only reason why he worked with Jay Z is because it made good business sense and "the kids like it" that's his exact quote from a 2002 Vibe Magazine


and it was the producer who decided to put Biggie's "can't stop the reign" verse on Unbreakable, not MJs

:beli:

It's Michael Jackson, bruh... you actually think there's a chance this nikka was sittin' around somewhere in '95 bumpin' an O.C. album? He probably wasn't a "hip-hop head", but he was more of a casual fan. Makes sense.

It's not that hard to believe he was into mostly mainstream shyt...the surprise woulda been if he was listening to underground shyt. Nothing about Michael Jackson says "Son, Guru is one of the illest MC's out there". C'mon B.

People been saying that rap has been dead since it started moving units.
:laugh: @ 93 Wu-tang said rap was dead and they were brining it back, 94 Big the same thing 95 Pac, 96 probably someone else and on.
