Prince wanted Michael on the Batman Soundtrack and Mike said Hell Na so he got his get back.


Batman was Adam west at that point.
Mike jack could not risk that.
It worked out for prince because the joker was there.
by Nicholson to play off of Creatively.
That was the only possible angle that could have played out.
There was no other drawing lanes for Michael to be present in that time.

People forget.
If you flopped back then.

It took forever to make it back.
So mike made the right choice.
Plus it was some in house Warner type shyt as well.



Potentially,...
Mike was risking it all .
f he did that batman project and could have never recovered.
Prince could have done batman and if it was bad could have survived. Michael Jackson would have suffered undue scrutiny. As well as the social disputes that arose last time.
Michael did a top draw style feature with another headliner.

Well if it was Mike and Prince together I doubt it would have flopped but creatively Michael and Prince were like oil and water, their styles would have never meshed well over the course of an entire project.

If prince does the song with mj

He probably ends up soing dirty diana instead of slash

He was just being petty cause he knew damn well that's not what mj was saying

Mj and prince on the same song would of been interesting cause mj is a super perfectionist when it comes ro his music and prince is a if it sounds good then that's what we using
Steve Stevens. Y’all just be saying shyt.

Playful banter/trolling, him and Mike were homies behind the scenes. Wouldn't be surprised if one of them has a collab in their vault.


They weren’t homies behind the scenes, they had a healthy respect for one another but it was always twinged with competition as well.
