Michael Jackson:
Him and Paul McCartney used to be great friends until MJ went behind his back and bought the Beatles catalog. That caused them to have a falling out, and apparently McCartney pulled some strings and may have played a behind the scenes role in the various legal troubles MJ found himself after, including the child molestation allegations. Also its no coincidence that while he was alive, you rarely heard any Beatles songs on tv or in movies, as the powers that be didn't want MJ cashing in on it. MJ's ownership of the Beatles catalog may be why he accused Sony of not promoting his album. In essence, if the album didn't sell well enough, they would try to get him to hand over the Beatles catalog to fulfill his debt to them. He choose to do the "This is It" series of concerts instead, and we know how that ended.
The song "Bad" was supposed to be a duet between MJ and Prince, but Prince refused to do it because of the opening line of the song ("Your butt is mine").
I wish they made more songs together, Say Say Say and The Girl Is Mine are my shyt.
And this must've been when Prince went all religious on us

Nah. He became a Jehovah's Witness in the 90s. That's when he truly became a religious nut. The 'Bad' duet was supposed to be in '87. Apparently, Michael and Quincy Jones invited Prince to the studio to listen to the track. Prince reportedly said, "This is going to be a hit. You don't need me."
Anyway, Prince was focusing on promoting the excellent Sign O' the Times album and the later cancelled Black Album.
Wesley got a black belt in 2 styles of martial arts breh it's one thing if they went toe to toe and Mike bested him but that sound like some pleas copped and a one punch knockout

The night Mike Tyson got beat, Him and Bobby Brown were up all night partying and fukking a slew of Japanese girls.Bobby Brown had a show in Osaka. Mike and Bobby were really good friends, Mike even dated Bobby Brown's older sister and was serious about her
"it was 3 in the morning the night before the Buster Douglas fight and I said, Hey Mike, you gotta get some sleep man, You don't need to be fukking all these girls. You aint supposed to be doing that the night before a fight" Mike says "that's nothing but a fukking myth" They say that to try and control us fighters, "That's ludicrous, It's Buster Douglas, the fight will be over in 3 rounds if I allow him to go 3 rounds, fukking Mike brehs
Bobby said when Mike got knocked out, he cried like a baby, he kept dude up all night partying
This fukking book is great, I'ma give a few more shyt from it but yall gotta get this shyt
I actually remember watching this fight live as a lil young bul.
Thought Iron Mike was invincible...when Tyson got his bell rung that night, it was one of the first times I realized in my life NOONE is invincible and ANYONE can get touched

Janis Hunter was a mother of two in her early 20s when her longtime lover, father of her children and one of the world’s most lusted-after soul singers, Marvin Gaye, suggested an amorous liaison with another couple.
The four had been smoking weed and snorting cocaine when Gaye noticed the pair sizing her up.
“I think they want to take this party to the next phase,” he said. “A small intimate orgy is just what the doctor ordered.”
He didn’t participate but acted as ringleader, urging on the sexual proceedings between his hesitant, eager-to-please girlfriend, 17 years his junior, and the couple they had just met.
After, Gaye projected his joy at the event onto Hunter. He projected something else as well.
“You loved it, didn’t you,” he asked.
“Not especially.”
“Oh, dear, please don’t deny it. You were an animal in heat. You couldn’t get enough. This was your dream come true.”
“Not my dream, Marvin. Yours.”
The next night, when the other couple returned for more, Gaye’s enthusiasm had become something else. He told Hunter, “You go off with them if you want. I can’t stop you. I won’t try.”
She refused, the couple left and Gaye told her how he really felt about the fantasy that his prodding had made real.
“To watch purity turn to perversity is a fascinating thing,” he told her. “You were once my angel. But now you have fallen. And yes, I do admit, it is exciting to watch you fall.”
They also partied with Richard Pryor, who invited them one night “to watch bikini-clad dancers having sex with each other.”
“The evening was uncomfortable for me, but I went along with the program,” writes Hunter.
Another night at Pryor’s, the comedian “got so coked up that he hit his wife over the head with a wine bottle and called everyone at the table ‘a f—in’ whore’ except me. Marvin laughed and said I should be flattered.”
Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall invited them to Studio 54, and after meeting Ryan O’Neal at a popular LA eatery, Hunter was dismayed to find the “Love Story” actor, who was standing behind her, making an awkward and unwanted connection.
“He made his move with great subtlety, but there was no mistaking the feel of his penis against my neck,” she writes. “As he spoke with Marvin, he kept pressing ever so slightly. I didn’t know what to do or say. So I did nothing.”
Noting a chemistry between Hunter and Maze singer Frankie Beverly, Gaye did everything he could to set up an illicit liaison between the two. When Beverly came for a visit, Gaye not only booked him a room at a local motel but booked the adjoining room for Hunter, saying he needed her out of the house so he could focus on music.
As Hunter and Beverly smoked a joint in Hunter’s hotel room, well aware of the awkwardness, there was a loud bang at the door. It was Gaye, seemingly hoping to catch them in the act. Beverly crawled back to his room on his hands and knees, and Gaye found Hunter alone.
In time, torn by Gaye’s cruel treatment, Jan slept with Beverly and also hooked up with Teddy Pendergrass, Gaye’s main musical rival.
Gaye’s jealousy turned violent. One day, high on a blend of psychedelic mushrooms and cocaine, he started to talk about Jan’s betrayals and became “enraged.”
“He took a kitchen knife and put it to my throat,” she writes. “I was petrified, paralyzed. I thought it was all over.”
Gaye told her, “I’ve loved you too much. This love is killing me. I beg you to provoke me. Provoke me right now so I can take us both out of our misery.”
Gaye’s rage subsided before he could do physical harm, but for Jan, this was the final straw. She took the kids and fled.
The next five years saw Gaye, Jan and their children embroiled in nasty back-and-forth battles, including, after Jan brought the kids to see Gaye in Hawaii, his refusing to let Frankie leave, causing Jan to not see her son for over a year.
Gaye, out of his mind on cocaine, would tell Jan that the “end days” were approaching or accuse her of sending her father or gang members to try to kill him.
Financially broken from battles with Anna and the IRS, he wound up living with his young son in “an abandoned Helms Bakery truck.”
Jan, now working odd jobs and couch-hopping with her daughter, filed for divorce in 1982. Gaye, destitute, paid no child support.
Gaye was shot to death in a brutal fight with his father on April 1, 1984.

Crazy. The image I had of him is ruined.

He's a genius but he had demons. Sounds like he was also prone to depression. I still luv him but the insight into his mind is a sad reality.

I read Bobby's book, and just bought Mooney's. The iBooks free sample ends with Pryor convincing mooney to stick around while he drinks and does rails, telling everyone "I get Mooney's share!" since Paul stays sober. Mooney observes of Pryor: something is bothering him, something deep down at the root of his soul.
